Hey, you don't want to be a Republican like Gp.
Wylted is already a Republican and I can prove it. Observe the following quote from earlier in this thread:
We can divide humans into savages and non savages. It is unethical to kill savages, however it is more unethical to kill non savages
Case closed.

It should be illegal for corporations and LLC's to own residential property.
Woah, that's not very free market of you. Government making laws about who is allowed to own what? Communism!

But at his recent press event he was saying that more than 100% of job creations went to migrants.
Has he really been doubling down on that? I remember during his address to the RNC convention he said 107% of jobs went to immigrants but I never heard anyone talking about that or him following up on it later.
What a whacky fellow. I hope they treat him and Biden well in the retirement home after Harris wins.

I'm not jerking Zelensky off by pretending that's part of some grand master plan the way you are jerking off Putin by pretending the hundreds of thousands of Russian casualties are part of a master plan by him. This is because jerking off authority figures is not part of my ideology the way it is part of yours.
Sadly we have now dipped below the 2 dimensional chess threshold and have reached the level of tic-tac-toe, which is too boring for me to engage in. Next time you go to play tic-tac-toe with Daddy Putin tell him thanks for broadcasting to the world that Russian territory is fair game by going through with that "annexation" of territories his army did not yet even occupy. That blatant show of weakness is what allowed for the invasion of Kursk in the first place, before that Ukraine thought that an invasion of Russia would be impossible.
You will now respond to this post like a good little boy but since I don't play tic-tac-toe I cannot respond back. I promise to give your final post a like so that you can know I read it and you can feel seen.

So in 4 years after none of that happens will you then admit that you don't know what you're talking about and was just getting caught up in political propaganda?
Tag me in four years when you come back to this thread to ask him about it.

Of course. Let's focus on one Russian commander from that list of those killed in particular. Captain Kuprin, The fourth on the list, died when the Moskva was sank.
I would say that putting in your plan that the enemy will sink the flagship of your fleet despite not having any major naval presence themselves is 2 dimensional chess at best.

@Dr.Franklin
No, fired commanders was the first list Frankie. That list was killed. Pay attention.
So usually when a country has low interest rates and high inflation it's at least possible for it's citizens to get by on borrowed money since borrowing money is easier with low rates and when a country has high interest rates and low inflation it's possible to get by just fine because despite borrowing being harder having a low inflation rate means not as much borrowing is needed. Having both be low is ideal but one or the other getting up for a bit isn't too bad.
When both are high for a sustained period, however, that's when things get really fucked. When both are high you have a situation where people need more money to live but can't easily borrow it because the interest rates are high. That is why Putin in his wisdom planned for the government interest rate to be 18%, which means that a mortgage in Russia has about the same interest rate as a credit card in the USA, and for the inflation rate to be 8%. Considering people popped blood vessels over when inflation hit 8% for a year or so in the USA and that inflation rate has been sustained in Russia for around a year and a half I would call that - combined with their credit card mortgage interest rates - pretty significant.
I guess we could still call it 2.25 dimensional chess though.

Policy is unimportant anyway. The more important question is whether we should value future lives equally to current lives and if so how should we serve the hundreds of trillions of future people, even if it means sacrificing ourselves or genociding millions?
Okay, sure. Let's do that.
Now what?

longtermism is more likely to be adopted by these lesswrong people who do not neatly align as left or right but I think you would find them left wing in a lot of respects.
Maybe, sound like a bunch of unfuckable tech bros to me but I admit I am going off of limited information. All I have to go on is in this thread since I never heard of them before now.
Just read the intro to the nuke debate. Is there an example of a different proscriptive position that can be drawn from longtermism you could point to? One that maybe has a little more of a real world application?

Sorry for letting IWRA distract me. It isn't that making fun of conservative Democrats like him is more fun than making fun of right wingers - both are equally fun - it's just that there are more right wingers on the site than conservative Democrats. Supply and demand, you know how it is. I promise to take a look at your nuking Germany debate soon.

Frankie what are you doing? Didn't you notice that the last one was a repeat? I already made fun of Putin for expanding NATO! That was the very first one we did. I wanted to see if you were even paying attention but you clearly weren't, like the people that were supposed to be paying attention to Ukraine's troop movements that missed them getting ready to move on Kursk. Daddy Putin would be very disappointed in you. Very shameful.
Alright previously we did a list of top commanders that were fired for fucking up the plan - which Putin planned from the start to do of course - this time we'll list some of them that Putin planned on dying. Of course it's normal for plans to include some necessary casualties but it's odd to plan for top commanders to die off like this, who am I to judge though?
So we have... General Frolov, General Sukhovetsky, General Kutuzov, Captain Kuprin, General Goraychev, General Botashev, General Tsokov, General Tatarenko, General Zavadsky, and General Simonov. 10 flag officers in 900 days means an average of one every 3 months. That's assuming I haven't missed any of course, which I probably have. Based on that average we'll probably get at least one more before the end of the year. Who do you think it will be?
Maybe it's more like 2.5 dimensional chess...

@Dr.Franklin
That 4 dimensional chess you talked about earlier is starting to look more like 3 dimensional chess at best.
Unless you consider how weird it is that Putin claims his goal was to stop NATO "expansion" yet it actually directly caused Sweden and Finland to join. Doesn't seem too bright in that light.
2.75 dimensional chess maybe?

Sometimes I wonder... the "mobilization" of over a quarter million people that started 7 months after the invasion was obviously part of the plan (everything is going according to plan trust the plan spread the butt cheeks don't question the plan etc.) but since they planned on drafting over a quarter of a million people anyway why didn't they start doing it right away to allow the draftees some time to train and allow for the logistics of the conscription to go more smoothly?

Personally I think they were two different planning sessions. The Wagner thing was probably a separate session all on its own. I would have liked to get your opinion on it though, very sad. We'll just go one at a time then.
So since everything is going according to plan that means he planned ahead of time to fire General Kisel, General Popov, Admiral Sokolov, Admiral Osipov, General Dvornikov, Admiral Evmenov, General Shoigu, General Muradov, General Zhuravlev, Admiral Yevmenov, General Mizintsev, General Seliverstov, General Surovikin, General Shamarin, General Marzoev, and all the rest. I imagine those must have been some pretty awkward meetings.
"Oh by the way I am going to fire all of you at some point in the next few years for not following the plan properly"
"But we haven't even started the plan yet, how do you know we won't follow it?"
"Oh no you'll follow it just fine - everything will go according to the plan - it's just that part of the plan is to fire all of you at various points. It's unavoidable. Good luck out there"

Obviously the $89 billion in 2023 is lower than the $104 billion from 2022 but I understand if that math is too hard for you. Since you've been a good little boy though I'll make the next one a two-for-one. If you want to get another two-for-one in the future you have to answer this question honestly though, okay? I can't give any more two-for-ones if you don't answer this question. Here it is:
Do you think that Putin planned for the $300 billion that was frozen in the same planning session where he planned the Wagner mutiny or do you think those were two different planning sessions? Even if you pussy out of answering the question please do keep responding, I already have the next three planned, but remember that future two-for-one deal I offered if you do answer. It's a good deal.

About losing out on billions in Russia's largest industry because Russia had to sell at a huge discount because of sanctions? If you can't figure that out yourself go ask one of Putin's other fluff boys, maybe they can.
Now I'm picturing Putin in a briefing room a month before the invasion with a Russian general pointing to a chart with a red line going down explaining "so according to this plan two and a half years from now our oil refining capacity will be reduced over 10% due to Ukrainian drone attacks on our refineries" while Putin nods solemnly and says "ah yes of course, this is the plan we will go with. They will never see it coming".

France and others, just as Putin planned. Yes. That's what he wanted I am sure. If the reason you keep replying back is because you're waiting for the list of ways his invasion backfired to run out you have a while yet to wait. Putin's incompetence and the blind support he gets from braindead cucks like yourself has ensured that the list is quite long.
All the billions worth of oil he had to sell at a massive discount to India for example. Let Putin know that India thanks him for jumpstarting their industrialization at Russia's expense. But sure that was definitely part of the plan.

Also can't forget the part where he made it really easy for Biden to convince European NATO countries to start hitting that 2% of GDP recommended military spending level that Trump was never able to convince them to do because he is so bad at negotiating. I think there are only four countries not hitting that mark now when it used to be over twenty. Tell him thanks for that one too. Great plan.

Oh, my plan would have less losing too. More winning and less losing. Not sure why he didn't think of that when he was making his plan.
When you go for your next visit to the secret bunker he's cowering in for his next fluff session make sure to tell Putin thanks on behalf of NATO for all the hard work he put in convincing Sweden and Finland to join. Since that was definitely part of his plan.
