We had a convesation about this in the Ukraine Lemmy Community. Our suggestion was to arm a drone with a carrot, and lead the donkey (carrying all the supplies) out of the orc camp after all the orcs have been liquidated. Ukraine gets supplies, Donkey gets safety, orcs are pink mist. Everyone wins! There’s zero downside.
Hmm, should I consider your post as an honest dialogue and actively continue talking to you?
Nope! That tells me everything I need to know about you. Now I get to press the “block” button and you disappear from my life forever!
No exaggeration, Russia is issuing donkeys and mules (yes actual pack animals) to soldiers for transporting supplies because vehicles are in short supply.
It seems like if Honda has any interest left in in Nissan, they’ll just buy it out of bankruptcy when that occurs. The only other chance Nissan seems to have is if there is a non-automotive company that wants to become one.

I’d say we should have no opinion on it at all. It is for the people of Namibia to decide how they want to use or not their land. Our only role is to respect the decision they come to.
Her efforts may not be to actually affect change, but to force Google to choose sides, and then extract concessions from them for doing so.
trump doesn’t understand this. The USA gets away with a lot of shit because it does a lot of other good. If we remove the good, we lose the tolerance for our shit.
Trumps massive tax cuts for the rich from his first term are almost ending, he needs a lot of money to renew them.
The trump tax cuts for the rich were in the form of commercial taxation. Those were permanent and aren’t ending. The rich get their cuts by reduction in corporate taxes in the form of dividends or increased stock value of the companies they hold.
The tax cuts for the middle class are the temporary ones that are ending.
First of all, this is a horrible move.
The Pentagon chief said he was “here today to directly and unambiguously express that stark strategic realities prevent the United States of America from being primarily focused on the security of Europe”,
Second, this means we’re drastically reducing US Defense spending and putting that money into free healthcare for our population, right?
Many commenters also cited the controversial introduction of a divorce cooling-off period in 2021, making them wary of the “easy entry and strict exit” for marriage.
I had missed the introduction of this in 2021.
“The law requires couples who are mutually seeking a divorce to wait for 30 days before formalising it. If the couples don’t show up for two appointments between 30 and 60 days after applying, their application is automatically cancelled.”
“In February Chinese media reported fully booked appointment slots in Shenzhen, Shanghai and other cities, with some being sold by scalpers.”
That would certainly be a disincentive to get married if you could not get out of it if you needed to.
And as sad as it is, trump’s supporters wouldn’t turn on him for that. They’d come up with any excuse in the world and continue to throw their support behind him.
with Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stating the Ukraine war will continue unless Kyiv abandons its NATO ambitions.
No it won’t. There’s public satellite photography of Russia military equipment reserves. It is a known roughly the quantity how many new pieces can be produced each month. If the west continues to support Ukraine economically and militarily and China stays mostly on the sidelines, Russia’s defeat is just a matter of time. They simply can’t sustain the war.
Fukushima did have some workers undergo significantly higher than usual radioactive doses - I invite you to contrast this with the mortality rate of, say, working on an oil rig.
Not injecting my own opinion in this thread of conversation, but if you’re expanding the scope to include oil rig worker adverse health effects, which introduces the fuel supply chain, then you need to also include the fuel supply chain health impacts and deaths with nuclear fuel extraction, such as the tens of thousands of uranium miners that have died digging out uranium.
I’m glad to see this development. I remember the original posting of the article and how multiple elementary schools are next door to this plant and had record unsafe levels of contamination found inside the schools.
I want to see desktop
Some kind of VNC setup
For a Windows user RDP is familiar and fairly high performance experience. I’m a fan xRDP for Linux desktop users accessing graphical desktop in Linux. Its not hard to set up in Linux either which is nice.
Trump repeated the suggestion that Gaza’s population should be relocated to Jordan and Egypt
So trump advocating for illegal immigration to Jordan and Egypt? Didn’t he just throw a fit claiming Canada and Mexico are supporting that to the USA?
Honestly this is a good opportunity for Ukraine because trump is very easy to manipulate.
First:
Ukraine should say “absolutely!.. but we can’t do any of that until all Russia is gone from Ukrainian soil including Crimea. We wouldn’t want your Rare Earth metals to be attacked by Russians. Also we’ll need to ship them out of our port cities many of which Russia currently occupies in the sea of Azov and Crimea. So give us everything we need to clear out the Russians and we’ll get started on shipping you ore! Also, you want to make sure Ukraine is sovereign at the end of this and that Russia has no control over us because you know Putin won’t honor our deal on Rare Earths for the USA”
Second:
Rare Earth minerals aren’t uncommon, they’re just very sparsely spread over large areas of dirt or water. The hard, dirty, and expensive work of producing Rare Earth metals is the refinement. I’m not seeing any requirement here the Ukraine refines it. This means that Ukraine could fulfill the commitment to trump by shipping raw ore. The only think Ukraine will have to do is shovel dirt right out of the ground and put it in ships on the way to the USA. Any level of concentration would qualify (and again, they’re not rare, just not densely concentrated).
Third:
Much of the military aid Ukraine has received is loans of military gear. Ukraine knows this and is planning on paying this back over many decades. If Ukraine could offer shiploads of dirt as payment, they could get out from under the war debt far earlier than they planned.
Ukraine should absolutely take this deal. It secures their borders, kicks Russia out, keeps the country sovereign, and reduces their war debt. Oh, it will probably also piss off Putin, which is a nice side win.
