There is no story about ruzzians that I do not find disgusting, the only good ruzzian is a dead ruzzian. Trump believing that he can negotiate a business deal with them, involving Exxon Mobile buying the rights to some oil fields for a bargain and putin caring about doing business is cute. putin has Trump and all other Americans figured out. Americans want to do busuness, rhey are all about making money. Certainly it seems to be a rational thing to do. Except putin doesn't care about making money, to him money is not made in business deals, it is taken from whoever makes it, he just takes it, business is for chumps.

putin looks at Trump and the rest of them and understands how to manipulate them easily to achieve his own goals, which are not business goals. putin wants Ukraine, the whole thing and should Ukraine fall he wants the rest of Europe, all of it.

Europeans don't get it but really it shouldn't be that difficult. There is another force they are familiar with tbat has the same goal of world domination - islam. The muslim brotherhood and putin are really very similar concepts. Both want to dominate, both use the weaknesses of democracies and the business approach as jiujitsu of sorts against the West. The West does not understand this because it cannot wrap its head around such concepts, it makes no sense to the Western sensibilities, the West is too rational but also short sighted and too full of itself. The West cannot imagine being outplayed by ruzzians or the islamists. The West is wrong on all counts in this game, it does not recognize its own shortsightedness and its own narcissism.

ruzzians are a scourge, a plague, so are islamists. The West is not ready for this war.

People who work for me are building what I am telling them and they are getting paid by our clients. They can definotely choose to do what I chose back in 2009, stop getting paid and work for themselves, all they have to do for that would be the same thing I did, save for a few years prior to that and live on savings while building their own thing. Why should anyone else pay them to do what they want without their ideas being actually useful to anyone? That is what governments do now, they tax everyone to subsidise government employees salaries and pensions. I would rather pay for services that I choose myself than have money taken from me by a force that I never chose myself (not once) and have that force spend my money on things I am opposed.

Sitting in a cafe in the city of Mykolaiv right now, everything runs on generators. Earlier today, around 7:45 local time a few shahed drones flew over the city, this was after a lqrge attack from about 6 hours prior. Multiple energy distribution systems were hit in multiple regions. There were people killed, some drones hit homes, there were myltiple kinjal (dagger) missiles launched from mig-31 platforms. I crossed the border to Ukraine over 2 weeks ago, spent a week in Kiev, a day in Lviv, a day in Odessa, etc. Everywhere there are issues with energy distribution. Where I am now there are issues with watwr as well of course. People keep going because tbat is what people do, nobody here wants to give up anything to ruzzia, they want to stop the war in a way that prevents future attacs from the scourge that is ruzzia. As to this lawsuit, it is completely justified but it is not enough. Europe is giving ruzzia more money every year in oil and purchases than Europe spends on this war, given tbat Ukraine is protecting Europe from putin taking this war further west, I find this behaviour atrocious.

right, they modded me troll decade and a half ago here when I said the nations will fall apart, governments will fail, libertarian ideas will take hold. They are modding me troll today, yet it is exactly what is happening. It is possible that people are actually afraid that my comments will cause ot to jappen somehow should more people read them. My comments are not the reason anything happens, that is magical thinking by the fearful moderators. My comments are a prediction and the reality is moving in the direction of my prediction.

see, here nobody accepts my belief system, they have moded both of my comments as "troll", yet I never troll here, I always say what I mean when it comes to tech, politics and economics. To mode my comments as "troll" means to declare that I do not believe and practice what I say or maybe that I am trying to start some sort of a riot. The former assumes that I am not serious, the latter assumes that everyone reading these comments camnot engage in civilized discourse, it is disgusting really, that people deny others their intentions or agency.

any amount of government, all of it makes me sick to my stomach, that is all I have to say on the topic.

Correct, government shouldn't be running services, this is up to the private individuals to satisfy needs at an agreed price. Years ago here I said that at some point in the 21st century we will see collapse of the government structures, we are observing it now. The next logical step is to have all services, no matter what they are to be done privately if needed. This is what I am rooting for, I am hoping to see it in this life time.

fuck ruzzia, fuck all ruzzians and triple fuck everyone doing business with the. Hopefully their scourge of s country collapses and breaks into small pieces and everyone there gets ass cancer of the 5th degree and dies a horrible death.

Also busses, tractors and combines and all sorts of farm equipment, everything that could be looted from businesses and homes was looted. Hundreds of thousands of children were kidnapped.

ruzzia is a scourge, always was always will be, unfit to exist on this planet.

Every time I say it here, I am moded down as a troll, doesn't change the reality.

As I said, ruzzia is a scourge https://slashdot.org/comments.... unfit to exist on this planet. It akways was a scourge, always will be. Same with islam, by the way, muslim brotherhood is coming for all of us, not just ruzzian zombies

ha ha ha, flamebait? ) existance of ruzzia is a flamebait. Existance of ruzzians is a flamebait, a troll actually.

ruzzia is a scourge unfit to exist in the world

As I said https://slashdot.org/comments....
AFAIC ruzzia can and needs to go to hell. I hire people, I won't hire a ruzzian, the world needs to get its act together and start using space without them.

They are a scourge, always were, always will be. The American scientists, that passed information to the USSR about nuclear weapon design and manufacturing were not just traitors, they made a gigantic mistake, they truly made the world a much worse place to live. Preferably the soviets and by extension the Chinese and then the Iraqies, Iranians, North Koreans and who knows who else should not have nukes, at least not immediately after the Americans designed and built them.

Americans are exceptionally good at delivering innovation, but they are also exceptionally naive about the rest of the world. All Americans, their scientists incorrectly believe in basic good human nature, their politicians incorrectly believe that others are just like them and want to do business. Ha! Business is the last thing on the minds of foreign despots. The first thing is to make sure their population are controllable so that nothing can dethrone them, this means the status quo must be maintained, business does not help to maintain status quo, on the contrary, it may provide extra resources to the population. Once the population has more resources than the absolute minimum and once the population does not depend on the State to provide this bare minimum, once the population can provide for itself it starts demanding change and this is unaaceptable. The change is a political demand, population must be dependent and ready to die for a few scraps off the table of the rulers, business interferes with this. Americans think putin or whatever other dictator wants to do business, what a stupid notion.

American people believe they can just keep to themselves, nothing concerns them about the rest of the world, they do not need to try and control the outcomes. They are the naive wealthy mark, walking carelessly through a foreign open market, there are enough eyes on their pockets and there is a guy with a knife in a dark alley waiting for them specifically. This is a metaphore. Americans need to build alliances with the Europeans, not break them, they need to understand that ruzzians are not friends or business partners. They also need to understand that global caliphate is a real thing, it is the goal and if Americans care about their way of life even a little, Israel and Ukraine are their lines of defence right now and must be supported as if the war was already in the USA, bevause it is.

Americans are quite a bunch, land of the free, ha? Jay walking was invented and popularized in the States, in most other countries there are no such laws safe for a few. Germany, Singapore are very strict too but they are the exception, not the rule.

they only care about one kind of reputation - fear. This is what keeps them warm at night, the thought that the West is afraid of them, because it is definitely not gas that keeps them warm.
