I don't know what they're waiting for honestly. Europe needs to start feeling some pain. There are too many mindless racists enjoying this war and thinking they could crush Russia without breaking a sweat.

Yeah, Western society is so sick that many of it's youth only see nuclear apocalypse as the solution. The only way to fix society's problems is through a big reset, and nuclear Armageddon is the perfect solution to this. Really explains why Fallout games are so popular. Also shows how much lack of critical thinking there is in the West. They only know neoliberal capitalism and can't envision a society that functions differently. Even the older generations seem to have forgotten what Keynesianism was like, they'll call that communism.
I decided to try Stellaris. The changes post 2.0 are not as complex as I thought. I still miss the wormhole and warp drives though. I also liked picking between laser/bullets/torpedoes. Wish they would bring that back. In this game, I'm a Megacorporation that has almost turned the entire galaxy into it's subsidiary. Only 1 empire remains, they have a few subjects of their own, but it's just a matter of time until they're torn apart and become a subsidiary. After that, all that is left is to destroy Unbidden which should be appearing any time now.
Maybe if they start getting killed by the thousands, the West will calm down. They are riding high on the myth of Western invincibility.
Yes, but those boots on the ground won't be fighting Russians. They'll stay in the West of Ukraine, so that those Ukrainian soldiers get sent to the frontlines.
Don't expect them to fight. They're probably going to reinforce the Ukrainian rear, so Ukraine can free more manpower and send more Ukrainians to die against Russia.
The US should only be allowed to join if they abolish their space marine corps (or whatever they're called).
I've been giving Endless Space 2 another try. Did a Horatio win, now I'm doing a Riftborn playthrough. I feel this game is a bit barebones. I want to like it, but after 1 or 2 playthroughs, I feel bored and need to move on. The orchestral music is great though.
I was thinking of trying Stellaris again, haven't touched it in years. The 2.0 update was a deal breaker for me.
Create an F tier and place dogs there.
Caught up
When the US manages to use AI to help maintain and detect problems across thousands of kms of railroad, let me know.
I think it's important to point out that entrepreneurship is the liberal answer for worker discontent. It's an argument against joining/forming a union. Instead of fighting for better salaries and oppression, the liberals convince the workers that the solution, is for them to become the oppressors by opening a business. Instead of fighting oppression, the liberal solution is to instead replicating it, but with you on top.
Agree. But I think a lot of that escalation is only possible because Western masses are too comfortable, sitting in their sofas and enjoying this war as if it's some football game. If the pain was felt back home, and people were protesting daily against sending more arms to Ukraine, I doubt they could keep escalating like this.
