Re: Russia-Ukraine War (continuing)
Do you seriously believe putin's terrorist would overrun all of Ukraine before the end of 2025 without the current half hearted support from the USA?
Over 40% of weapons being used by Ukraine to defend themselves are produced in Ukraine and there are many other countries besides the USA who are actively providing them with support in the face of assaults by putin's terrorists. putin has lost huge amounts of military equipment and personnel and I've heard very little mention of any advances made by his forces recently. Without support from some other fascist dictatorships putin would be out of the fight with Ukraine already as they seem to have burnt through the majority of their military force.
Re: Russia-Ukraine War (continuing)
All available evidence supports the Krasnov theory. The only thing I am aware of that Trump has done that wasn't in Putin's interest was renewing the ban on Orc ships access to US ports.
Re: Energy infrastructure
Are you a blow-in? Every winter there are a number of dunkelflauten when a high pressure weather pattern rests over the entire Island of Ireland. Some are more severe and long lasting than others. Ireland isn't as large as Germany and has limited interconnectors from which energy can be pumped in.

Europe isn't undergoing a pagan revival. It's binning religion entirely.

or just dealing with the poster who has 67,868 relations in every town for every situation. No rule needed at all in that case.

Re: Very quiet in here
I hear you.
We are told its a discussion forum. Dont just link dump.
Well it is not a discussion forum if a poster can dump in any kind of claim without backing and not engage with any of the responses.
If the mods arent going to enforce Rule 2 then they shouldnt be sanctioning posters who try to hold such tactics to account.
Otherwise its not a discussion forum. Its a charter for propagandists to dump disinformation, fake news and lies.
Re: Very quiet in here
I have been trying to do this as much as I can, nullzero, but I'm not sure it works. The effect is shortlived at best, doesn't last more than a few days, if even that. I'm all for giving people chances, but at some point, something's gotta give.
The disheartening thing for me is that even after giving a pointed warning/ban, some people's posting style doesn't change and we get stuck in a vicious circle. I honestly don't see what other options I have as a mod.
