That wallet seems to have one big disadvantage. It can take bills, but what to do with the exchange in coins ? Small value coins can be quickly gifted as a tip. For Euro's however, there also exist 2 Euro coins and the tipping culture from the US, is not common in Europe. I will not likely tip 8 Euro in coins. My wallet contains 4x20 Euro notes and no coins. But I always pay using a debit bank card, wherever possible (and that is at 99.9999999% of shops, bars, restaurants, markets, food-stalls) Eventually however, I will come across a point of paying where the machine is either malfunctioning or just not present.

Almost every single "top secret" plan is just common knowledge to history buffs now. But to people who experienced the conflict and history... they'll never get to know it.

[@longforgotten4823]

As a master student of World War II history, we know plenty about the second world war. We still don’t know everything. The general public certainly does not know everything. Due to the amount of records about the Ukrainian Russian conflict, I bet it will be the most recorded war in history in every medium. The difficulty will be sifting through the details, propaganda, and variety of sources.

[@theotherohlourdespadua1131]

We actually don't know ALL of WW2 primarily due to government statutes keeping it under wraps like Britain's Official War Secrets Act which is set to expire around 2039. Russia... How do I put this?

[@seancarney3024]

Back in the first month I was worried that there was the possibility that Russia could blugen Ukraine to death just like the union did to the confederacy in the Civil War, now I'm certain that's impossible. 1. Union loses in the Civil War were 50% higher than Confederate loses whereas Russian Casualties are around 100% higher than Ukrainian loses. 2. The Confederacy didn't have the moral high ground and thus didn't have adequate support from the world powers. 3. The Union army wasn't rife with corruption the way Russia is. 3.5. The Confederate government couldn't enforce a total war. 4. Both the Union and Confederate armies had good Leaders and good doctrine with the Union notably having Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan who were way ahead of their time. Ukrainian Commanders were western trained and have superior doctrine, that's not even mentioning Oleksandr Syrskyi. This isn't to say I'm comparing Ukrainian to the Confederacy or calling Ukraine a breakaway Providence of Russia. And I'm certainly not comparing Putin to Lincoln!!😧🤯

yeah i mean the pentagon and many top level US generals was sure Russia would win the war in 3 days and have the Ukranians capitulate.. the 3 day war thing was actually a US thing not a Russian estimate, they thought they would win in about 2 weeks so not that much different but yeah, shows you that while the US intel gathering is extremely great, their predictions need a lot of work. also this leak didn't take recent events into account, (cuz they hadn't happened yet) like storm shadows completely decimating a lot of shit, and the UKR counter offensive preps in which they have hit many vital elements such as fuel and ammo storages, not to mention the incursions into Russia that forces them to re allocate some backline forces which means any UA breakthrough in the right direction could be extremely damaging to Russia in the same way the Kharkiv/Izium counter offensive prayed on the lack of backline troops and the low density of frontline personal that the Ruzkies had in the area.

@NiklasMJ You probably didn't see vid compilation of Russians propagandists and experts, some gave even a day, for example, RT's editor-in-chief - Margarita Simonyan gave Ukraine a 2 days.

[@NiklasMJ]

@@jailedtwice735 yeah but does Simonyan have any military position or actual knowledge of how to conduct a war or asses whether or not an attack or war would be succesfull? no not really so what does her opinion matter in this?
