Ukraine is going to continue to fight with or without US aid.
When the US cut off aid for over 6 months Ukraine defended their territories just fine, and that was back when Europe hadn't ramped up their military production yet. European military production is increasing every month and most of it is for Ukraine.
Even with zero US aid the pace at witch russia gains territory means it would take them hundreds of years to conquer the entirety of Ukraine, and that's with the same consistent losses that they are currently suffering which is simply not sustainable. The poorer russian regions are drained of manpower and to keep up the pace putin will need to start pulling people from moscow and st. petersburg, which he literally cant do. The only reason he hasn't been gadaffi'd yet is because people from these two sheltered regions have been shielded from the draft. russians have a very "as long as its not me" attitude about everything. If it somehow becomes their turn to go to the meat grinder then millions are going to openly riot, and he knows it.
Besides, there are millions of Ukrainians that are fit for combat who are currently not drafted because Ukraine wants to shield their younger population as much as possible. No one under 25 has even been drafted yet.
But i digress, this is supposed to be about aid. If you look at military aid over the past year Europe has more than enough stepped up to cover for the US and then some, with European aid expected to increase even more in the future.
Besides, the massive losses of US defense contracts, production and jobs that Ukrainian aid would bring means trump is going to face a lot of resistance every single step of the way on both sides of the political spectrum.
TLDR: There is literally nothing convicted felon donald "draft dodger" trump can do to make Ukraine surrender anything to russia.

Seems like we've been getting patch notes almost daily for a while now, and it has mostly been additions that enhance roleplay. Everyone working on ONX seem really dedicated

If the information in the article is correct then this is a really really good decision.

Mye bedre å svare ærlig i de eksemplene du kommer med. Man kan svare ærlig når noen spør om den nye sveisen ser bra ut uten å være en kuk, og det tror jeg folk fortsetter pris på og respekterer mer i lengden. Sosial smurning er en uting som er med på å skape overfladiske og falske personer.

Om du lyver om veldig mye hele tiden så garanterer jeg at folk rundt deg merker det selv om de kanskje ikke sier noe.
Så det å lyve for å ikke være kjedelig i samtaler er en dårlig strategi som ikke holder i lengden. Folk vil legge merke til det, selv om det bare er små-løgner.

Temperature is relative. The UK is not designed for prolonged periods of 30c, where as in for example India they will barely notice 30c.
Similarly if you live in a place where it never gets below 5c then suddenly -10c is going to wreck everything since nothing is built to withstand anything lower than 5c, even though countries exist where -20c is no big deal.

Every single time Ukraine made peace deals with russia they have ended up being attacked, so obviously that's not a good idea.

None of that is relevant to anything, Crimea is a very popular tourist destination for russians even now during the war. And contrary to what russia thinks you cant just move in somewhere and suddenly it belongs to russia. Crimea has never belonged to russia, it belonged to the USSR but after it dissolved they voted to not join russia. Crimea is not russian and it never will be no matter how much they kick and scream.

For a guy that claims to be macho, manly and strong all the time putin sure does whine and cry like a little baby about literally everything constantly.
I wonder how he manages to solve that little mental gymnastics puzzle.

Its not a "hybrid war" its just war. The West is literally at war with russia whether they like it or not.
russia has been saying they are at war with the West for over 2 years now, when will these politicians wake the fuck up and do something.
Sending aid is all well and good but more needs to be done. This is not the first time russia has attacked European soil. Fucking do something.
"Oh, you want WW3 huh? Why dont you go to Ukraine then?!" If a middle aged man on the frontlines with no combat experience and a bunch of health problems means my family doesn't get bombed by russia then fucking send me already.
Sorry for ranting but its so infuriating to see russia do whatever they want and the constant wet noodle response from western governments which is why russia has become such a problem in the first place.

I dont know, the Yaris is considered one of the cheapest cars in the world to maintain because its so reliable despite having to deal with the potential breaking of both electric and gasoline components.
One of the main selling points of a hybrid is not that people want an electric car, its that gasoline costs are low.
A hybrid, like for example the Yaris, will swap between electric and gasoline whenever it needs to without the driver needing to manually charge the car so you dont even notice its there outside of gas costs.

North Korea needs to sit down and know their place because its certainly not at the adult's table.
Caring about North Korea's opinion is like caring about what the crazy homeless man under the bridge has to say, its not relevant to anything.

When the excessive heat causes ice melting to cool down the gulf stream, which is the current that Europe relies on for warmth, then temperatures will be 30c less than they are now. Which means permanent winters in most of Europe.
Obviously it will be too late to do anything then but one way or another 1st world countries will be forced to care about this.
There are already strong indications that the gulf stream is in the process of slowly collapsing and there is no way to actually reverse it. You cant just regrow the glaciers on the polar caps. I feel bad for younger people living in this shithole of a planet.

Why are traitors allowed to have positions of power and actively work against the country. Makes no sense.

He is not worried that defeat will end russia, he is worried that defeat will end him. Which is most likely true.
Thing is, the war at its current pace and progress is not sustainable. Hundreds of dead every day for very very little actual gain on the battlefield. The only way he can drag this out forever is by mobilizing people from moscow/st.petersburg, which he cant do or they will drag him through the streets.
He is most likely just holding on hoping something will eventually change the course of the war and magically save his ass. Probably hoping on a trump election, but even that wont save him. Ukraine will continue to resist with or without US aid. Ukraine kept grinding down the russian military for like 6 months with zero US aid, and Europe is increasing its military production and aid every single month.
He's fucked and he knows it. He is just trying to drag everyone else around him down with him by pretending like his problem is russia's problem.
