Russia is seizing hundreds of commercial jets owned by US and European leasing companies, a further sign of the challenges the country's airline industry faces due to sanctions following its invasion of Ukraine.
In a few months we’ll conclusively see whose head is up whose ass. You seem to think that if you just convince enough people of something being true then it will magically become true. You’re about to find out that’s not how the real world works.
The difference between us is that my position is the same as that of the actual experts, like US colonels and US federal reserve. Meanwhile, your position is based on literal propaganda you consume. You go around regurgitating this nonsense while getting upset when facts are presented to you.
LOL, you clearly don’t understand what the word projection means. Not really surprising given that you don’t seem to understand much of anything. Also rich having you talk about facts not fitting the narrative. Facts like Russia having a stable economy that’s not dependent on the west, or having advanced manufacturing capability, or even simple facts like Buran not actually being a copy of the shuttle. Funny how you just pivoted the conversation when I presented you with that fact. You keep accusing me of projection while that’s precisely what you yourself are doing. The most hilarious part is that you lack any sort of self awareness and just keep clowning around here thinking you’re making great points.
You make dozens of comments on a daily basis attacking people over and over, you were catastrophically wrong about fundamental facts relating to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, evinced no willingness whatsoever to engage in self-examination about why you were wrong, and you can’t seem to express disagreement without antagonizing others, have an irritating inclination toward self-satisfied last-wordism which doesn’t make you right but just wrong in ways that are tedious to litigate, and your entire comment history is a history of you arguing with other people 24x7.
I can’t think of any thread on lemmy where you did anything that was contributing to building a positive community and I think the community would be more healthy without you here.
You’re claiming that I’m catastrophically wrong about fundamental facts. What specific facts are you claiming I’m wrong about?
Meanwhile, you can feel free to block me if my comments offend you so much. What you mean by “building a positive community” must refer to having a community of people who agree with you. I think the community would be a healthier place without people such as yourself.
So you’re saying Buran was a totally new concept sprung from the free thinking of the Soviet Union? “I’m just spitballing here, comrades… let’s make an oversized spaceplane that’s totally unlike the American one… but we’ll add jets to it!” That sounds exactly like this nationalization of McDonalds, where they keep everything exactly the same, but just change the logo. Good luck getting a resupply on those seasonal McRibs, Yogi.
What the article I linked very clearly explains is that Buran was a substantially different design from the shuttle, and the similarity to it is only skin deep. USSR was also the technological leader throughout the space race and managed to produce plenty of things like closed cycle engines that US still isn’t able to manufacture on their own.
Meanwhile, I don’t even live in Russia. Your whole world view is ideologically driven so you just assume I must have some personal stake in this. I’m simply explaining to you that the reality of what Russia is differs wildly from your conception of it.
I’d rather stay sober than smoke whatever you’re smoking.
But there can’t be much air up there, with your head up your ass.

That, my friend, is straight-up projection. Yes, we shall see. But I doubt it’ll be that long before the dust settles.

Lol, you’re still projecting. You literally resort to name calling whenever the facts don’t fit your narrative.
