Oh, you don't know the story how Ukraine constantly blames Russia for striking civilians by repurposed S-300 missiles!
I bet this is the reason they are still in denial about the Poland incident. Because it breaks the legend and points to the real cause: issues with the missiles they launched. Meanwhile there is a constant flow of videos where Ukraine's S-300 missiles fly into land.
Another funny fact that most likely it's USSR-made missile. I don't think Ukraine bought any arms from Russia, so everything they have is USSR-made they were an integral part of.
It's rather the opposite: if there were no such people, it would be the scariest thing to people. Because how can communism go? Wrong answers only.
So should Russia be obliged to pay for transit and provide gas to Ukraine? Why wouldn't Ukraine pursue gas supplies from other sources? It had at least 8 years for that, but all the time was spent on opposing NS2.
"that was unwise" is a simplification, not a proper explanation. Russia is a cheap resource supplier, so it was beneficial for European countries to leverage it for their economy to be more competitive with US at least.
Saudi Arabia has its own bunch of issues with democracy (there is none, imagine), human rights (surprise), a war with neighbouring Yemen (sounds familiar?), but for some magical reason no one cares and alienates Saudi Arabia, and everyone is very forgetful and blind about their issues and doesn't interfere.
People's thoughts are literally tunnelled.
I'm just going to draw attention to the situation both sides "could put an end to this today, but they won't, because the loss of face is worse than the loss of life."
Especially because of https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/08/ukraine-ukrai...
But both sides are hostages of their own politics and narratives of who's good and who's bad.
Anyway, a bit of hypocrisy doesn't hurt.
I like speculativity very much, it's just a note on it.
there's no such thing as entirely someone's fault. you live in black and white.
i don't know, was the whole germany literal nazi? well, half europe was. was hitler the enemy of the whole world? well, not until he did his job keeping commies under control. noone cared about jews and racism, ok? einstein moved to us from nazi germany and was shocked by racism towards black. he was lucky he's not black.
it's not a tale of good and bad. and it doesn't need to. hating your enemy is hating yourself for the enemy being in your mind, being close to you, being in your news or the same continent. love your enemy to love yourself.
i'm not sure if anyone have challenged it. or i may be wrong and basically they can enforce their demands based on usage of their brand only. or noone really has needed that, because everyone is happy to collaborate with the arm company in some other areas besides licensing, so this very fee is nothing for them.
or you can just waste all the time firefighting with consequences of bad software.
it's not the only factor, but it can matter. the majority of companies i worked suffer from this. what really mitigates the problem is that competitors have the same problem on average.
