Forcibly sterilising a person with sexual urges for children does not remove the urges. Just the means to fulfill those urges. And could lead to worse actions.

The world needs a lot more of this.

Fertility rate of 1.35 is REALLY low. Not as low as South Korea. But on par with Japan.

Even if you did everything right there isn’t that much wildlife to live off of. A single human requires a vast healthy wilderness to live off of foraging only.

Best way to show that he did fail in the end is to kick out every politician opposed to rejoining the EU and rejoining. Before UK falls any lower.

Anti-zionist does not equal anti-semitic. Just as being anti-nazi does not mean you are anti-white.

It is amazing how many people understand the second one but not the first one.

No, but getting there.

The US has done it. But not recently. Though Trump did give it a try with Mike Pence in 2021. And never to the extent that Russia has and is.

That is the bare minimum the international community should do.

How it works on paper is very different from how it actually works. There is no democracy in China. Even dictatorships have elections. That does not mean that the dictator has the consent of the governed.

In terms of surveillance. It has been.

It has taken a lot longer than that.

There are several types.

Spotter drones for surveillance and artillery correction. More expensive sensors. Sometimes can deploy other drones.

Grenade dropper drones. They drop several types of grenades. Sometimes several of them. Can be reloaded&reused.

Loitering munitions, basically drone guided artillery munitions. Also there are smaller ones with just grenades. They explode on contact/command. Not reused.

Yeah, on this particular part of the front they’ve advanced 14 kilometers in two years with horrific casualties and loss of materiel.

They usually use several drones to take out a T90. But it is still a good ROI.

You need at least two drones for every Russian. You have to account for misses, malfunctions, EW, interceptions etc.

I am glad that it is a proxy war. Which is why it baffles me to no end why Europe doesn’t support Ukraine more.

They have been trying to avoid conscripting from Moscow and Saint Petersburg. But they are running out of able bodied men outside those regions. There have been videos of men over 60 and men with health conditions that would preclude them from serving in a sane country. So I don’t think they are that far off. Because when they start conscripting from M and SP they are seriously hurting their economy.

This is quite understandable since pandas only eat a specific type of bamboo which does not grow in Finland. So had to fly it in every few days from the Netherlands. And they eat quite a lot of it. So costs mounted over time.

The US have the benefit of essentially limitless immigration

Except that even in the Americas the population is declining. There is a limit to it. The US can outlast many other countries because of immigration but it too has to face the same problem as everyone else.
