Europe@feddit.org•European Union to ban cash payments above €10,000English
3·6 days agoThis has been the law in the US for a long time already. Not exactly illegal, but any cash transaction $10k+ legally requires federal documentation. This gets at what people misunderstand about crime and money laundering. Money laundering=paying taxes. Once you are making real money “under the table”, you have to find ways to pay taxes, if you want to be able to buy cars/houses/etc

2·6 days agoTrained on what?
That’s an interesting proposal. A couple years ago it would have sounded crazy, but now… I’m not sure. If I really had to predict, I would say that Zelensky will get pushed out or made to sue for peace. Russia will keep all gained territory.
I’m not suggesting that this is a good strategy, or that Russia doesn’t have their own strategy. I predict that if we see Russia begin to convincingly turn the tide (perhaps it has begun) we’ll see renewed aid to Ukraine-- maybe newer fighter planes. In general though, it doesn’t seem like Ukraine could really “win” on the terms they would like. Ultimately, as you mentioned, attrition favors Russia. You need soldiers to hold territory.
Again, the idea isn’t necessarily to make Russia lose. It’s to make them fight for a long time.

Of course he knows. US support for Ukraine is perfectly calibrated to make sure the war remains at a stalemate. The whole idea is to keep Russia bogged down.

Death to these fascists.
