This article claims that the world’s third largest railroad network (after US and China) will collapse in a few days and this claim is based on a report from an anonimous telegram channel (“VChK-OGPU”) and an audio file provided by some Ukrainian propagandist. Moreover, it’s accompanied by a charming remark that “Newsweek was unable to independently verify the authenticity of the audio clip or VChK-OGPU’s report”. None of such “sources” are suitable for a post to pass the moderation in the lemmy worldnews community (be it .ml or .world), but for a Newsweek article it is somehow sufficient.

And the funniest thing is that Newsweek has MBFC Credibility Rating of “HIGH CREDIBILITY”. This is how “highly credible” MBFC approved journalism looks like.

While absence of China in Top 10 may be somehow explained by The Great Firewall, the absence of India, Turkey and Russia is totally implausible. Or they might be scanning only torrents of movies with English audio.

It’s revealing that you care so much about white mercs from Wagner but totally ignore casualties of black Malian troops killed by local AlQaeda branch with support of Ukraine. Seems like it’s impossible to be supportive towards Ukraine without being at least a bit racist.

What’s really under doubt here is your reading ability and knowledge of geography:

1. Ukrainian officials themselves claimed that they’ve provided help to islamists;
2. Mali is not region of Russia, it’s a sovereign state on totally different landmass.

Pretty ironicaly, so called “Russian puppet” Yanukovych is literally the last Ukrainian president who was democraticaly elected by population of entire Ukraine (meaning within its 1991 borders).

If you gonna host torrent tracker with pirate content then VDSina is reasonable choice and i’m using their service for the same purprose. Their help section clearly says that they would ignore any copyright infrigement complaint which is not enforced by Russian police or court what effectively means that US/GB/EU authorities have no chance to bother you. Obviously you should choose their Moscow servers, not Amsterdam ones (which they also offer). I have no idea if they accept Monero payments but they definately allow to pay in some cryptocurrencies.

Noone in US or EU would care about expiration of Zelensky’s presidential term as long as he’s reliable supplier of cannon fodder for proxy NATO-Russia war. Roosevelt’s words on Somoza ("he may be a son of a bitch, but he’s our son of a bitch’) would apply here as well.

Speaking about getting back 2013 Ukraine borders is not more reasonable than speaking about getting back 2013 Ukraine legitimate government. It’s impossible in real life to replay from save file - this means that Ukraine would stay with regime imposed by insurrectionists and without Crimea and Donbass.

Definately NOT proxy cannon fodder

So the choice is to get conscripted right now for an ongoing war or to avoid the draft for now and risk being drafted sometime in the future for a war that most likely would never happen? There’s no choice for sane person. And Ukrainians are much clever than you tend to think, that’s why they are evading draft en masse: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/28/world/europe/ukraine-conscription-mobilization-bill.html
