The article does not make very many claims as to the cause of the loss of learning. It is reasonable to think that several specific "safety" measures contributed to this. I would say that the biggest factors are remote learning, distancing, and masks.zou3gou3 wrote: ↑Masks are not mentioned even once in that article.

All things are possible. This is Russia we are talking about, they've run out of stale bread crusts and cabbage for all we know. Sixty percent of their army might apply for refugee status and Ukrainian citizenship. We don't know why their fancy aircraft are mostly grounded. Many theories, one of which is they don't have enough precision munitions left, most of their pilots don't have the skills to use them or they don't have targeting pods. The fancy weapons aren't cheap and Russia isn't that rich despite Pootin's Biden bucks. Putin thought this was going to be over in a day or two, so maybe they really have shot their bolt, in which case we are looking at dumb bombs being dropped every which way, which will get messy, but it levels the playing fields ( and Kyiv). Big plus is Zelensky. Ex ambassador to Moscow hears that Putin wrote off Zelensky as a joke and Zelensky's command performance is driving him insane.Brive1987 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 11:03 pmI don’t think a stalemate or Russian defeat are options.

Because Putin really believes that the Ukrainian govt are only pivoting Westward because of the CIA and the people don't really want it. He's delusional. I think he does believe that NATO set out to encircle him. There's also the embarassing spectacle of Russian soldiers bumming food off civilians, which indicates somebody didn't think they needed to pack lunch. If the Ukrainians drag this out, which they will whatever happens to the cities, it will bleed the Russian military dry. Putin's Biden Oil Bonanza will only last so long if the bullet is bit and the taps turned off. I've never been sure what to make of Putin. The apologist clowns at The Duran and their like almost had me believing he was a bit of a haples victim, but now I'm sure he's an evil cnut. The banal bureaucratic speech with which he justifies, orders and describes crimes fools people.Matt Cavanaugh wrote: ↑Thu Mar 03, 2022 7:39 amMaybe he hoped Zelensky would flee like Biden's handlers tried to encourage?

The US was stupid enough to share with the Chinese our intel on the Russian build-up, who turned around an shared it with the Russians. Did we also tell our competitors-not-opponents our proposed course of action?

He's not as theatrical or as ominous as a Bond villain. He doesn't explicitly say he's going to have people murdered or beaten up, he'll use an innocuous sounding, bureaucratic euphemism. At least that's what I've heard. It is more of a thing that happens in his dealings with Russian officials and I was thinking more of foreign leaders privy to such things who get fooled. He is also said to be able to adapt his communication style to his audience and has absolutely no regard for truth, hence Bush and Blair seeing a man they can do business with. His grievance list is playing quite well with the Q-Anon demographic who have extrapolated US corruption and cynicism to extremes. Biden is the kind of awful that requires a new scale, but goading Putin into a war to cover his corruption?

Does he intentionally present-himself as a James Bond Villain, because he'd rather intimidate hearts&minds, rather than win-them?
Or maybe, to a Russian audience, the answer is 'both'. Like, in pro-wrestling, a 'cool heel' such-as Rowdy Roddy Piper.
But it doesn't play the same-way overseas.
In all fairness to Dave... Fauci was on ABC News back then, saying "other groups" of people would "be involved" and get AIDS from "just living with" / "just ordinary close contact"/ "normal interpersonal contact" with children, such as "household contact".

I watched a video recently about post-Liberalism. The basic claim was that the mainstream left had embraced illiberalism in some kind of attempt to save Liberalism.

What is special about those guys? The US has been knocking off countries to install puppet governments so that some fruit company can stay profitable since forever. Before that, the UK was doing it. The US has always talked a high moral game, while doing shit like this. The only thing that has changed is that it became convenient to use this ancient tradition as part of the general effort to cut away the roots of US culture.ThreeFlangedJavis wrote: ↑Worst would be if the idiots carry through with war crimes prosecutions.

Why does the legal framework set up by the US, based in the US sphere of influence, that has always relied on the backing of US military and financial force, not go after the leaders of the US for war crimes?

Not that I have seen. Ever wondered how a country with an economy the size of Italy manages to maintain such a large arsenal of sophisticated aircraft and weapons systems, nuclear subs, nukes etc? Must be more efficient procurement they thought. In Russia, really, one of the most corrupt countries on earth hit by years of sanctions? I think what we are now having that question answered. They have a lot of fancy looking systems with vital bits they can't get right and no reserves of smart weapons. They can't afford aircraft and enough flight hours for their pilots. They're missing comms equipment and proper coordination. They can pull it off in a limited campaign like Syria where they're not as closely scrutinised but they're exposed now by their failure to cut Ukrainian internet.Service Dog wrote: ↑Thu Mar 03, 2022 7:53 amIs anyone speculating--- that it might-be to avoid a no-fly zone being-imposed?ThreeFlangedJavis wrote: ↑ We don't know why their fancy aircraft are mostly grounded.

Dear Ukrainians!
196 hours of defense.
We've been giving an ounce to the Russian occupiers for the second week.
In these hours and days, a breakdown of the situation is happening.
A time of breakdown requires gathering, special concentration.
Our defenders and defenders stopped the enemy in most directions. On some of the Armed Forces have made a successful counterattack.
It remains a difficult situation in the south, where the enemy in the last hours fired Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant. But the morality of the people in the Cossack region is such that the invaders are doomed to defeat.
Kharkiv stands an invincible fortress. The whole Ukraine is in pain looking at the Russian shelling. But now all of Europe knows that Kharkiv is not only an intellectual and industrial center, but also a proud city of brave citizens.
Sumy region and Chernihiv region are fighting. They are saving Kiev from the siege. As long as the management of the country and the army is not broken - the enemy has no chance.
In the east and south - everywhere - the Ukrainian people gives the enemy a vídsíč and brings victory closer.
According to the sum of 8 dibs the loss of the Russian army exceeded 10 thousand. The killed and wounded. Destruction of at least one Russian general has been confirmed. Russian society is beginning to feel and realize these losses.
Destroyed Russian armor equipment already has to be measured not by units, but by battalions and brigades.
The Armed Forces as trophies have received or not more tanks and armored machines than in the last 8 years from the Ukrainian OPC.
Our defenders seized several cars with shells to the Russian military criminals, which Russian war criminals are firing at our peaceful cities. All these shells will "return" the enemy.
We also carry the loss. War is a great grief. Almost every hour there are news that the Russian invaders have killed civilians again. Blood spills from rage when our children die...
There is a loss among our soldiers. They fight like cyborgs, but in the chest there is a living heart. Each one of them will be honored as a hero.
People are the most valuable to us. This distinguishes Ukraine from Russia. I really hope that the Russian side will fulfill its commitment to creating humanitarian corridors.
Many difficult decisions have been made these days. We had to maneuver to save the army. But all our land we shall return.
We are in pain watching the destroyed buildings after the Russian shelling. We are the rebuilding of everything.
The commander of the flagman of the military military military ordered to flood the ship so that the "Getman Sagaydachny" frigate, which was under repair, did not reach the enemy. It's hard to imagine a more difficult decision for a brave warrior and the entire team. But we're building a new fleet. The modern, the powerful.
The main thing now is to stand up.
I understand this perfectly. Everyone is tired, many people are exhausted, shocked by the losses. A very difficult period ahead. We will need a lot of strength and endurance.
But I want to tell everyone. Ukrainians - you are incredible!
The enemy is confused and intimidated. We haven't beat him yet. But this time is slowly approaching.
The Kremlin rats are already trembling. The part is actively looking for a way to escape.
The whole of Ukraine is successfully rebuilt for life in defense conditions. Help is coming in industrial areas, this work is already adjusted.
We will protect our country and leave it to future generations blooming, successful, better than it was.
Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes of Ukraine!
