@possiblylinux127 @davel Since 2022, China has amplified its purchase of cheaper Russian oil after the West hit Moscow with unprecedented sanctions.

@linuxisevil @madthumbs Sorry but Dave Plumber isn't at the top of my list of trusted sources. I don't expect someone whose got a vested interest to be neutral.
@secret300 The project to discover elements 119 and 120 which previously were a US/Russia collaboration also put on hold. All of humanity moves backwards when we fight, nothing is gained.
@possiblylinux127 @theunknownmuncher I know it might hurt your brain but it is helpful to fully understand an issue to understand the other sides perspectives.
@sun_is_ra Oh definitely related, it was working ok under 22.04 not 24.04, but I suspect it has something to do with decoder ffmpeg, as other applications using it also have issues with H.264 v10 video. However Thorium does not. Perhaps it has it's own decoder rather than using ffmpeg.
@davel Everyone has their own perspective but I think most people here are trying to greatly over simply a complex situation with and Noam Chomsky offers only yet another perspective and I disagree with him on the issue of world government or extinction. I don't think world government on a large scale, particularly the way it is now with no real citizenship representation, is particularly desirable.
@davel If the world were so simple then those with single digit IQ's and no real knowledge of historical fact would be able to understand it, unfortunately it is not.
@Samueru I find it humorous that someone would downvote me for suggesting that history goes back more than a decade. Guess they are less than ten years old and think their parents appeared out of nowhere when they were born.
@davel @drwankingstein All of which have their biases and really a very limited subsample of viewpoints and history.
@BobGnarley @possiblylinux127 My take as well, but for the record, Putin is well aware of how Bolsheviks affected his nation and not eager to repeat it so not a big supporter of Communism himself.
