yeah who gives a fuck about a celebrity being slapped. Like it's such a small thing when you have any sense of perspective but people get so worked up about it it's quite puzzling

Nobody actually hates it, it’s just a joke that’s been dead for 3 decades and beaten into the ground

poroshenko's quote about how Galician children will go to school while Donbas children will huddle in basements haunts me to this day

Russia’s production costs are also far lower than the West’s, in part because Moscow is sacrificing safety and quality in its effort to build weapons more cheaply, Mr. Salm said. For instance, it costs a Western country $5,000 to $6,000 to make a 155-millimeter artillery round, whereas it costs Russia about $600 to produce a comparable 152-millimeter artillery shell, he said.

Western MIC when it costs them 6 billion dollars to make a jeep: These Russians are cutting corners!!!

falling rate of profit doesn't mean there was a loss. Just less profit (by percent, ROI) than previous years

You need to take into account inflation, how much was invested vs. how much profit was made & various industries across different sectors. The overall trend has been less and less profit over time, which means companies have to be more and more exploitative or delivery a shittier product over time to keep getting the same returns they have been used to. Eventually it will reach the point of no profit, which is the end-point of capitalism in which it will start another world war or implode to reset.
