Because they’re given just enough resources to bleed Russia, without giving them enough to beat them.
Ukraine want them gone for sure, but the US would rather Russia just waste its resources on a futile war.
I suspect Trump’s “peace plan” is just “everybody keeps the ground they’re currently on and have a ceasefire while they build up resources again”.
The Baltics are made up of very small nations that Russia even in its current state could roll through in a few days.
They thought that about Ukraine as well… It’s 2025 and the Russian border is probably one of the most observed in the world right now. The chances of a Blitzkrieg style attack is nil.
That said if there was ever a time for the EU to start building up its war machine, that time is now.
It’s not “why are they like this?” but rather “who has made them like this?”
Who has a vested interest in creating a generation of people who take a perverse personal pride in working themselves to death so somebody else can get rich? Hmm, tough one…
I wouldn’t even mind if the ultra rich were doing something with that money, but they just hoard it. Elon Musk could have a giant fortress in the shape of a skull, but instead he just goes home and cheats at videogames. I can do that for next to nothing!
Anything with a London 020 number is guaranteed to be a man with an Indian accent pretending to be from British Telecom.
So they think if GTA6 is worth $100, then their latest climb the towers, fill the map, Ubislop title will also be worth $100?
Good luck with that thinking.
Plus Rockstar don’t need to charge $100 for their game because it will likely sell 200 million copies over the next two gens.
How much paper do you want him to sign? The man’s got an appointment at the golf course!
M as in Mancy?
You get sent to ad prison for re-education.
I was on Amazon Prime for years.
Then in the space of one year they decided that listening to an album in order was now a “premium” feature, and that ads would be shovelled into everything.
Sure, I lost the “free” shipping, so now I hardly buy anything from Amazon either. I see this as an absolute win.
Ooh, I know the answer!
Street Fighter is far superior.
Everything about it is terrible, but it’s saved by Raul Julia in the same way that Tim Curry saves the Three Musketeers and Alan Rickman saves Robin Hood.
A classically trained actor treating the whole thing like a pantomime. It’s glorious.
I finally got around to watching that after the missus kept referring to him as the pest guy.
As soon as well started the movie she just went “you’re going to hate it”
She was not wrong. How the man continued to have a career after that is anyone’s guess.
I think Black Flag was so well received because it has the least amount of Assassin’s Creed gameplay in it.
It felt fresh in AC2 but there’s only so many times you can trot out the same exact game with an extra gimmick before tedium sets in.
Nothing highlighted this as starkly as AC3 where I realised that without Ezio I just didn’t care about the story at all.
According to the website it uses UPnP. So it might still work.
Look, the problem isn’t China getting your data.
The problem is they’re not paying a US oligarch for it.
Yes, been that way from the start and is made by them.
Somebody was playing shitty rap/drill music on the train a couple of years back.
I thought I might have to be the one to tell him, but then he made a call on speakerphone explaining to somebody that he’d just got out of prison and was looking for somewhere to stay.
I decided not to tell him after all.
The one in the thumbnail looks like it became the N-Gage taco phone.
Used to love Super Pursuit Mode.
Even made the cars on the overpass go faster.
The average MAGAt is going to really confused when they find out who runs Israel.
