dunno, there is the one-time toggle in the notification area for 100% in my pixel and there is a toggle to turn off these adaptive features in settings.

Some factories were in Ukraine, the factory even did some stuff for S-300 after USSR broke.

>just an identification of these as AA missiles would have been enough to kill the story

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.

Ukraine should know not from AP whose missile it was, but they are still in denial, can you imagine?

You will be surprised how many times in the news about those missiles they were specifically called Russian-made/produced.

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.

Unrelated, but inspired. A lot of people can't get food and other goods and services even though it's close to them or possible to provide them right now. And it works as intended and a few think that something went wrong.

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.

Musk has bought Twitter out of activism and is possibly hostile to a certain number of employees.

Well, if only Tesla was an example for others in that.

>depriving them of transit revenue

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.

Well, seems you don't give yourself a chance that your idea of Putin might be a mistake. Not a very comfortable position to think rationally.

Just to clarify for those who doesn't track this game. The part "despite the sanctions" is important here. The turbine was sent not back to Russia, but to Germany. And Russia tells there is no exemption to get this turbine to Russia, it was given only for Germany. Besides this turbine they refer to a few others not being fixed or sent for repair, so this one is even not the biggest issue, but for some reason it's commented the most.

Well, I was not going to change your question. Why would I?

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."

It depends on the purposes of the actor and the purpose of the strategy.

The last sentence is applicable to both sides by the way.

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.

Well, it's democracy at stake. Doesn't it justify everything? Because if not, this example is not the biggest issue.

Anyway, a bit of hypocrisy doesn't hurt.

Why did they not do that before and chose Russian gas instead of nuclear power? It's puzzling me what bad did they find in nuclear power.

This doesn't make it less speculative. What would is to incorporate less assumptions or to prove some its assumptions with practice.

I like speculativity very much, it's just a note on it.
