I want him to run for public office

Not really sure. Not an expert but it seems like Russia already trashed them.

I mean at this point I’m all in on Ukraine and I’m sorry to see my comment interpreted as anything but the hope that Ukraine could get the support they are asking for.

I know peace deals are precarious and complicated, but I dream of nothing less than pre 2014 borders, the end of all Russian hostilities, and a defense pact, if not full inclusion, between Ukraine and the EU.

Ah - respect, cheers friend.

I wasn’t refusing to correct the mistake, thanks. I just hadn’t checked my replies until now. I have made the edits now to clarify.

It was in today’s dollars. See my edit. And I don’t think it is suspect to ask Ukraine’s allies to do more to help them actually win when Zelensky is saying it himself ad nauseam.

Though your snippy reply maybe doesn’t deserve it, respectfully- the figures I quoted were in today’s dollars. I guess I shouldn’t have assumed people would know that though.

They aren’t wrong though - the USSR got somewhere around $100-150B from Lend Lease. Ukraine has gotten something like $300B already.

But it’s certainly not money laundering. Wars cost a lot in the modern age. The real question is why are countries giving so much but only to keep Ukraine from losing.

It’s embarrassing for Russia that this war is now longer than their war against Germany in WWII but it’s also sort of embarrassing for Ukraine’s allies.

EDIT: I was estimating in today’s dollars, from Wikipedia - A total of $50.1 billion (equivalent to $690 billion in 2024 when accounting for inflation) worth of supplies was shipped, or 17% of the total war expenditures of the U.S.[3] In all, $31.4 billion went to the United Kingdom, $11.3 billion to the Soviet Union, $3.2 billion to France, $1.6 billion to China, and the remaining $2.6 billion to other Allies.

Requiem for a Dream. Aronofsky is a legend and totally up my alley but this and a couple other films he has done I only have the energy to watch once.

This is legitimately Trump’s chance to be eligible for a peace prize but I guess it’s easier to extort someone else’s

I even don’t know what he’s getting at - I’ve never had access to a bike the many times I have been there. Transit and walking are also perfectly viable options and there are still cars outside the center

Sail with us on the great ship Stremio

Same. If I see people complaining about a movie being slow and boring 9/10 times I’ll love it

Sigourney Weaver would be a great one tho

I have a hard time imagining her as anyone else

Before Enlightenment chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment chop wood, carry water

Agreed for the music and the maths. Red got blasted out so it was fascinating to see it work its way back to the other two anyway.

If there are no clear lines drawn around the hybrid war Russia has been waging against the western would then the EU has failed its duty in the peace process

Yeah designers and illustrators have been using sloppy technical shortcuts since long before AI, speaking as a designer/illustrator

We were all hoping for a Thrawn trilogy and we got… this
