Vietnam was what caused the US to abandon the gold standard. There was no choice but to abandon it as the war was about to bankrupt the US.

I feel like something as contemporary as Ukraine speaks for itself. The UK has gone through about 3 heads of state in just as many months. Germany is unable to fuel its industry, inflation in the US at 10%.

As far as the militarization of space, the point speaks for itself. Here are two comparatively little things you couldn't even do, yet you want to talk about something far more expensive and difficult to accomplish.

I shouldn't even be responding to you since you didn't give me anything to respond to. You just bullet-pointed what I previously said and ooga-booga'ed. You call me stupid, but at least I know how to speak in a manner as to convey intelligent meaning, which is more than you can say.

Vietnam almost bankrupted the US. Ukraine has completely destroyed the western economies. Militarizing space seems.... Expensive.

read the Jakarta Method. It's the most horrifying thing nobody knows about

There's nothing wrong with the statement beyond your unwillingness to accept reality.

Are you denying the food crisis in Afghaniatan? The US and Europe lost the war. Afghanistan is a sovereign nation. What right does the west have to starve the people or deny their government access to their funds?

The West is starving Afganistan but I guess it isn't a genocide because they're only doing it punitivively for Afghanistan having won the war.

When Europe is involved nobody is to blame. The system runs itself. Acting as if people are responsible for the governments of people by people is made into a ridiculous notion. When Europe has no-one else to blame then Europe must be a victim of it's own systems.

If your argument is as it is here, that the rich will take what they want while the poor die and the powerful will do as they will, then be consistent.

Let Europe always speak in those terms rather than using human suffering as a political pawn only to seek their own advantage.

Europe and America have been starving Afgahnistan ever since the end of the war. They stole their money and sanctioned them in a deliberate policy to starve Afgahnistan. It is nothing short of genocide. This is a globally acknowledged fact. The attempt to brush off an ongoing genocide is honestly beyond me.

But what can you do? The system runs itself. How could we possibly attribute human intentions to a government of people, by people. You should at least be consistent when you talk about the countries you dislike. Stop mentioning leaders by name as if their intentions have any impact on their governments. Be consistent.

You're unwillingness to understand is your own fault.

You're original comment is disingenuous. Europe is taking what it can for itself. They used the crisis in Africa to advantage themselves. They have no intention of alleviating the crisis. They'll blame Russia for it while doing their best to maintain it.

If you don't know what is happening in Afghanistan then that is your own willful ignorance. As it is European policy in Africa is to starve them. They have no intention of sharing the grain with them. There is nothing difficult to understand here.

I don't remember the west complaining that Russia wasn't allowing countries going to war against them to access grains. It was the starving African countries. Well what about them? You know damn well Europe isn't going to feed them. They've been committing their own genocide in Afghanistan since the end of their war. Starving Africans is European policy as usual.

I'm assuming those are Russian export import numbers

Not having to rely on proton is definitely much better and preferable.

From what I heard all of Russia is in the process of switching to Linux. This can only encourage more software to be written with it in mind

This is the first I'm hearing of Win 11 virtualization. Does it offer any real benefits or is it simply more bloat and needless complexity?

I know personally that I have no intention to move beyond 10. I was already very much against 10 as an OS. 11 might very well be like 8 where people simply refuse to migrate. Every other version turns out to be a broken mess nobody wanted. That's what I'm expecting out of 11. At the very least I'm guessing that software like what you're mentioning will make it too bloated and complex to operate on enough hardware as to make it something to dismiss.

I don't think nativity is a great concern these days. Everything works well with proton. It's a total shift
