Because Trump is talking to Putin, not Zelensky. And the plan is “Ukraine loses”.

Yep. Sorry our politics are so absolutely fucked, everyone. This is the end of Pax Americana. We’re going isolationist, and probably also fascist and theocratic. I’m going to leave the country.

hahaha I’m not worried are you worried?

Touch my boats, Russia. I fucking DARE you.

Well just to be clear: I’m absolutely NOT shitting on them for doing this, particularly in this geopolitical context. That was my original point, as a matter of fact.

For them? No. For the region and the world overall, because carbon doesn’t give a shit about national boundaries: absolutely.

We can’t keep thinking in terms of “how does it affect country X”. This is a global problem, and it must be framed as such.

…that’s quite pedantic, tbh. I’d say it’s rather implicit that a wind farm wouldn’t be planned for an area that doesn’t experience strong winds consistently.

Can you name any others?

Though the carbon implications are unfortunate, this is quite frankly an extremely pragmatic and prudent decision in a geopolitical sense. Hopefully they can consider reviving the project once all the bullshit Russia is doing concludes one way or the other, but for now, this definitely seems like the right call. Seriously , this is probably the ONLY legitimate reason I think I’ve ever seen for halting an offshore wind farm.

Ngl the outcome is a pleasant surprise. Thought this was gonna be another Georgia.

Remember that China is having a bit of an economic crisis at the moment

It’s honestly fucking embarrassing how badly we’re dropping the ball just because Putin is good at faking Biden out with nuke threats

Also, maybe the IDF shouldn’t have, you know, drove a fucking Merkava Mk 4 through the main gate of the compound and wrecked the UN base’s physical security? Just a thought.

All China wants is the mineral and petroleum reserves in Siberia. They don’t give a fuck about the population centers in western Russia.

And flagged ship nationalities aren’t hard to feign

Though it makes it difficult to ship to Maine

Biden’s too chickenshit on that front to make any meaningful change to our policy there. Hopefully Harris will be better in that regard.

I would like to subscribe for more train facts

And not via plane

Tbh those things are great little thin clients to leave near your couch, despite their age
