  1. So sad that they took away so many cool stuff. Honestly, I would pay AAA price for Cipher abilities.
  2. Again, every country inflate enemy loses in war. And is not " without actual evidence, let alone proof", is corroborated by Russians themselves. Murz got "suicided" once he admitted taking heavy loses. And by satellite images and video footage. That said, Colombians, the ones who are deployed often to the most dangerous areas of the frontlines have roughly 10% KIA.
  3. Again. By the 1515616855311653156156516th time. Is not a reliable metric as RU throws a lot of Russians and say that are Ukrainians, some clearly Buryat, a ethnic group very rare in Ukraine. Visual confirmation, satellite images and reports is much more reliable. ___________ What bugs me is the following. Lavrov understands that USA demands towards Iran are nothing but a pipedream and will probably backfire ( https://www.reuters.com/world/russia-says-it-has-seen-no-evidence-that-iran-was-developing-nuclear-weapons-2026-03-03/ ), yet, with Ukraine, somehow even worse demands. Demanding a much more crippling disarmament, demanding much more cultural impositions, in language, holidays and even street names, demanding the same level of control which a empire has towards a colony but without a costly occupation force, is somehow "essential and justified". Some vatniks even call it generous. It is ridiculous how selectively blind Russians higher ups are... Just like the US would need a very costly occupation and destabilizing occupation to enforce Trump demands, Russia would need a very costly and destabilizing occupation.
  4. Again, Zopartor, the side that retreats has more harder time to recover bodies and RU throws Russian bodies in this exchanges. _________________ The US could lift sanctions on more Russian oil, says Bessent.https://www.globalbankingandfinance.com/us-lift-sanctions-russian-oil-bessent/ The US says Russia sanctions relief is 'temporary.'https://www.argusmedia.com/en/news-and-insights/latest-market-news/2797644-us-says-russia-sanctions-relief-is-temporary Last year, Russia had to sell oil at $40USD/bbl and spend resources bypassing sanctions. Now they can sell at nearly two and a half times last year's price without sanctions. For those who don't underestimate how significant it is, imagine that you get half your income from work and half from investments or landlordism. Imagine that before, you were struggling a bit to pay your bills but not close to bankruptcy. Now, you got a 3x wage increase. That is basically what happened to Russia. I wound't be surprised if they leave negotiations or demand something much, much worse than what Witkoff demanded. Among the most "propagandists" pro-Ukrainian that I follow, near everyone is celebrating US strikes on Iran. The best analysts, like Anders Puck, worry about this war's impact on oil prices, supply chain strain of interceptor missiles, normalization of crippling demands, destabilization of the Middle East, among other variables. He also criticizes the US for having too vague and extreme objectives and no strategy on how to get them.
  5. Romances tends to be very shallow. IMO, the unique game that did romances right is Mount & Blade. IE - is pure "political" and alliance based marriage among nobles.
  6. Russian posts from 4 years ago. Aged like milk. State media saying that Ukrainians where surrendering on mass. And that they lost in 1h23m.
  7. “Afraid to show their society”: Moscow blocks online war casualty database that names Russia’s deadhttps://euromaidanpress.com/2026/02/13/moscow-blocks-online-war-casualty-database-that-names-russias-dead/ Note : 156,000 dead, 96,000 wounded is only what is verified, with name, surname, cause of death, location of death. The real numbers are much, much bigger because is impossible to categorize so thirdly all loses.
  8. TL;DW - Moscow still believes that it has the right to dictate the laws, alliances, military size and might, language, and every aspect of Ukrainian society without having to pay for a very costly occupation.
  9. Grigory Yeremeev, a Russian politician said the obvious. Russia can't archive its objectives. Are Satelite images, video footage, video confirmed loses and even Russian themselves confirm heavy RU casualties.
  10. You are skeptical about loses confirmed by intelligence agencies, Russians, footage and satellite images, yet you take North Korean numbers at face value...
  11. Again, no one is taking Zelensky numbers seriously. I'm taking visual confirmed numbers from Andrew Perpetua and Oryx seriously. And data from Russians like Strelkov, Vladimir Chirkin, Murz, Prigozhin, and Maxim Kalashnikov seriously, alongside analysts like Anders Puck. According to Oryx : Category Russian Losses (Confirmed) Ukrainian Losses (Confirmed) Ratio (RU:UA) Tanks ~3,000+ 1,386 ~2-3:1 IFVs ~5,000+ 1,532 ~3-4:1 APCs/MRAPs ~4,000+ 509+ ~4-8:1 Total Armor ~12,000-15,000+ ~5,500 ~3:1 And disagree about Obituaries. People that just get MIA or are not registered as dead by its officers wouldn't end in obituaries. To have a notion on how great Anders Puck is, look what he posted at January 2022. He not only predicted the invasion but also predicted maximalist objectives and that the war wouldn't go as RU predicted. Later, on the video "Russia's new forever war in Ukraine, 11MAR2022" he predicted a very long war. Russia has multiple times more manpower. Also has help from North Koreans, Cubans and many other allies. If Ukraine was not inflicting much more casualties, Russia would already have defeated Ukrainian army.
  12. False. Russia send Russian bodies saying that are Ukrainain bodies ( https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/russia-ukraine-war/article/ukraine-received-at-least-20-bodies-of-russian-soldiers-in-recent-exchanges-zelenskyy-says/ ) besides, Ukraine constantly retreats, which makes retrieving bodies much harder. That said, you depics heavy casualties as something which only Ukraine claims. Russians like Strelkov, Vladimir Chirkin, Murz, Prigozhin, and Maxim Kalashnikov, ALL said that Russia is taking heavy loses. Murz in particular got "suicided" after exposing heavy loses. Strelkov, jailed. EU should be more clear about consequences of Russia victory. Not talk about morals.
  13. Yep. They don't think what would happen if Ukraine capitulates. They implicitly assume: Demobilization is administratively smooth Economies can shrink without exploding Armed, radicalized populations will politely accept unemployment and humiliation Symbols, language, and memory politics are “cosmetic issues” This is ahistorical thinking. In Masada (73 AD), Jews chose mass suicide over disarmament. Zulus at Isandlwana (1879) at a much smaller number, without firearms, fought against the hegemonic power at that time (the British) when the British demanded disarmament. Those aren't easy demands. Would have extreme consequences. For eg, giving so many territory incurs plus the "demilitarization" requiring the destruction of teh Ukrainian defense industry and all ties with European investors would bankrupt Ukraine. Plus hundreds of thousands of now unemployed armed dudes that have no job due the Weimar style demilitarization, Russian and commie symbols being forced into Lviv, Ukraine would have to become a diehard police state while bankrupting itself and defaulting. Two things would happen if Ukraine capitulates. 1 - The largest refugee crisis of human history in two huge waves. After capitulation, a huge wave. After the consequences of capitulation comes, a much larger wave. Estonian former president speculated in 25 million refugees. 2 - Europe destabilized and a much worse war coming. Destabilization happens every time that Carthaginian peace terms are imposed into someone. From Carthage to Weimar Germany. Multiple economists from Keynes to Mises warned that Versailles in particular demilitarization and cultural impositions(war guilty clauses) which are much less severe than RU demands would destabilize Europe. Yet to appease some French hardlines, it was imposed upon Germany. Germany become radicalized and launched the most devastating war in human history as a result of less serious demilitarization and humiliation.
  14. Just wondering. Obviously, ranger, fighter and wizard is not on the discussion because they are already in the game. My opinion would be Cipher. I also asked ChatGPT and Grok to try to find which would be the most wanted DLC class :
