  • That is a natural reaction of person that tracks only western MSM and doesn’t pay attention to gradual rise in western politician attitudes.

    Russian nuclear doctrine change reflects changed attitude in western propaganda.

    You must not be aware of the following developments. Poland is already primed to fight. Baltic states openly talk about preemptive strike on Russia. Western long range weapons are pretty much cleared to strike “old” Russian territory. Country on southern side of Russia is set to become 2nd Ukraine. NATO general claims that Russia will not use nukes under any circumstances and thus justifies any level of involvement.

    In this environment expansion of nuclear deterrence is pretty much the only option from Russian point of view.

    Please note that inside Russia there are calls to strike from Kiev to London due to crossing of previously announced red lines. Someone was right here. Putin is moderate if not outright inactive.

    The above creates potentially unstable environment inside Russia and may give Russian government additional motivation to use nukes at location of regional importance.

    There are some reasons for western side to provoke Russia, which nobody here wants to discuss or acknowledge.

    It shall come as no surprise that NATO has larger military than Russia. Russia never made it a secret that the only way to balance out conventional strength difference is with nukes.

    The calculation on Russian side is that they will destroy large amount of opposing side military and equipment. It should be enough to stop any meaningful ground action.

    So, reality is very close to getting out of control.

    All it takes is a small provocation on the border side that looks like invasion even if it is just a large scale disruption in communication on the border line and incursion of some military equipment.

    The later happened already on Belorussian border in last 12 months. So the scenario was tested in part by Poland.


  • The article is a dream of how to save face.

    In short: Ukraine is on the path to loose, it is loosing. Current levels of western support is not sufficient. Population support is dwindling.

    Let’s save face by freezing conflict at current lines.

    The article completely dismisses official Russian position, that is glossed over in western news sources in the 1st place: Ukraine must accept new Russian territory, withdraw its troops from this territory.

    Article called current Russian position as maximalist, but when announced it was pointed out that it is actually a minimalist position. Putin stated directly that as Russia advances on the ground, conditions will change.

    The article is a feeble attempt at getting closer to reality on the ground.













  • Trust that it works well and it does. However, first gen was not as good as after it.

    1. Good microphone quality. Not true for first gen after some time in my experience

    2. Reliable connection. True most of the time.

    3. Apple ecosystem, yes to a small degree. Ability to see battery level is nice.

    4. Fast recharge times

    5. Endless usage time if using one headphone at a time. It is my preference usage method.

    Cons: high price. After several years I expect to find comparable competition. It exists, and i use it, but i lost: 1, 2, 3 from my list. And usability is crap: accidentally touching headphone turns it off.


  • Downvotes shall list better headphones.

    I myself have not found a better solution.

    I like apple headphones and i settled on similar shaped non-apple brand at a fraction af the price, but it is lower in quality compared to apple. Microphone is crap and I stopped trying to use it. Headphones level is good at low level and high level sound reproduction, but it is not as accurate as apple.

    In the end the trade off is worth it to me for the price, but i will not claim at is better.

    So, bring on your alternative and price of it.


  • Mine lasted for years as far as battery is concerned.

    Unfortunately the loudness level has dropped significantly. I went to Apple store and they acknowledged this as that’s what happens to them.

    Eventually I gave up and replaced with alternative lower cost similar style headphones. The sound level is plenty, but microphone is terrible. I tried several and found I found similar problems. It is acceptable for much lower cost, but doesn’t compare.


  • West locked itself out of Russian oil. It is called sanctions.

    West is trying to make it Putin’s fault and Putin’s big plan.Russia always claimed that it cannot be isolated.

    Russian propaganda is loving it. They predicted the outcome and it is a fact now.

    Western propaganda predicted outcome did not materialize.

    I’d like to see how far into negative territory this comment will go into. Truth is not a sweet lie…
