Yes, but do customers want plugin-hybrids instead of fully electric?

Based on the reaction of Russians, HIMARS are doing real damage to them and they are not happy at all.

First, she is not a German journalist but one working for Russia one. Second, she is not independent, as she is just distributing Russian propaganda.

This post was about Russian capacity to create such conflicts completely out of blue. You can fear anything you chose to. Like I have explained many times, it is not this scalable because of fragmentation. Yes, there can be a mass hysteria

I refer you to this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31965687 comment, that was written 1h before yours. I quote "They think Ukraine and Russia has a shared destiny or some other completely unfounded bullshit like

Interesting. Some of the energy conscious home builders have used the same concept for quite some time but of course not many of them. This concept is also in my "energy efficient dream house" wish list. I think it demonstrates th

War and propaganda go always hand in hand but the main difference here is in capability and scale.

Well, define "we" first. How much American TV watch people in South America? How much English TV watches a German for example, or Italian? I would say, close to zero. So the first issue is that Western media landscape is fragment

Last time such promise was given to African Union leader, they blew up large Ukrainian grain storage in Mykolaiv. These are nonsense claims that do not have any actual honest resolve behind them.

Russia is threat to Europe the same way it is threat to Ukraine - it can launch a military operation that by rational thinking person would be not acceptable and Russian society would tolerate or even support it. Russian army has lost over

We have mostly politically motivated twisting of the words against political opponents (like NYT is against Trump etc). I always recommend to look what was actually said and in what context.

In principle this happens every day in the West, at least partially. It is most noticeable in US because here the political landscape is very polarized. There are two important differences though. The main difference in this case is that th

If you read the comments then there was plan to post more but I presume that the war happened and the poster has now something else to do.

This Youtube video was posted already somewhere in end of November, way before the Russian invasion in Ukraine started but I discovered it when I started to look into capacity of Russian propaganda to create and direct larger human conflict

I do not agree with this. While there is not much actual tactical advantage for Russia then they are not distinguishable by very sane judgements. Any same person would have concluded that attacking Ukraine would inflict huge losses, yet thi

I have heard former head of US European forces to say that there will be response for sure. Most likely first non-nuclear but conventional. Most likely using air force to wipe Ukraine clean from Russian forces. His estimation was that for F

If you are one then you know what it means, but for the sake of other argument and for the others to understand, being a "Russian agent" means foremost being a member of criminal enterprise and by this I mean real a state level cr

Thank you for clarifying what parts of the guidelines you think I broke. If you read my comment carefully then you can notice that pointing out comment author possible affiliation is not the main argument of my comment. Author has formed th

"Putin's decision to concentrate his firepower on the eastern front has largely succeeded at bringing the conflict to a grinding stalemate." What can I say, it honestly does not look like winning. It was not expected that Ukr

I don't think it does. Civilian surveillance has been always used on friendly grounds.

First, US was a close partner to Ukraine, as were some other states. US is not taking sides, it has continuously supported Ukraine. And why shouldn't anybody support a democratic country against illegal invasion?

If you don't buy an appropriate ticket, your change of winning is zero. Ukraine winning the war is certainly >0.

I call it theater because if the vaccine is as good as Western ones, you really do not need these draconian measures.

1) The fact that you are not paying attention does not mean that other are not. My-Lai was not genocide because there was no genocidal intent what is the main difference in Ukraine. > "A "genocide" is, by definition, the a

Against what are these efficacy comparisons? Omicron? Other variant? I have not paid attention to COVID-19 recently and I recall that Chinese vaccines were problematic against Omicron. If it is so efficient then why the hell they have this

There is then perhaps not enough discussion about certain aspects of the invasion and public justification by Putin and rhetoric in Russian media. It is clear that the main reason behind the invasion is to take control over Ukrainian land a

He criticizes hard US but when it comes to Russia, he agrees that it is perhaps bad, but still US is much, much, much worse. He completely dismisses genocidal aspect of the invasion like he denies genocide by Serbians on Balkan.
