Re: too many bloody wars. Maybe a song would help. It's called "La gent vol viure en pau" (people want to live in peace). I don't know but there might be translations somewhere, it's an old song now. If not programs should get it right, it's very literal.
 
I was talking to a Swede yesterday who said that Russia is totally winning and all this stuff about them being weak is propaganda.

Did he elaborate ? I'd say that's wrong, but I'm aware I'm working from biased info and propaganda. Who knows ? Maybe I just don't get it because I only understad Joshua "the only way of winning is not to play"
 
Ukraine deaths are 7x.
Soldiers or civilians ?
Maybe. I don't believe any number on deaths. Ukraine claims 283900 Russians dead (that's soldiers, not civilians, not sure whether that's including disabled Ukranian Pravda and NATO should be spreading similar propaganda, so that'd be deaths), so that'd mean nearly 2 million Ukranians soldiers dead ? Ukranian population was near 41 million before war and 33 millions now (wikipedia, go figure)? But should we believe the 283900 number to begin with?
That would be almost no more Ukranian army by now, wouldn't it ? Zelensky says his army operates as it does in order to save Ukranian soldiers lifes. Maybe it's just that he's running out of soldiers, I don't know.
But many Ukranians are in exile.
I don't know how to count all this. Btw. Am I in the wrong thread ?
Of course NATO says the Ukranian losses are much lower than the Russian. But it's all propaganda wherever you look.

Says the committe from a Congress still without speaker. But very appropiate for Friday the 13th.
The USA are having a relatively hard time keeping up the supplies to Ukraine, let alone fight Russia and China at once.
I can imagine USA government and Congress expanding expense in weapons, but I don't see that bringing so many weapons to their arsenal. It'll just bring money to weapons manufacturers. Fine, I don't like weapons.
If they wanted to have more weapons they would have to change their economics upside down and start getting lots of taxes from the rich ones and spending them on government weapons factories (new or nationalized).
I don't see the USA doing that. Not even after some kind of new 9/11. So no way after something like China invading Taiwan. They'll just make solidarity gestures and maybe marketing for private weapons manufacturers.
The USA is not going to fight Russia and China together head to head, and they are not going to attack the USA directly, or even NATO. It's all more proxy wars to show the rest of the world who they should obey or else.
And countries are going to slowly and painfully turn from USA to China (and maybe Russia, but if that happens then I'm very mislead by propaganda). It's already happening inside NATO, and there are enough places to attack outside NATO, Russia or China, so before it comes to attacking NATO, NATO countries will have changed side "on their own". More or less like what happened with the Warsow pact, but backwards and possibly slower.

World War 3 confirmed?
Yes, just that it is a WW3 of proxy wars.
And the planet can hardly sustain a peaceful humanity, so let alone a warring one. The other WWs didn't find the planet in such a bad shape.
 
Misinformation. US military aid to Ukraine accounts for 5% of military budget
But the armies in Ukraine keep using it all up, apparently.
I meant politically. At the beginning more or less all USA politicians were happy to help Ukraine, now the number of legislators thinking it twice seems to have increased. But I don't know how it will end, so yes, maybe it's just misinformation.
 
Im back on Anbernic Win600, after my anger was cool down, i did put instead of batocera linux the Retrobat Emu Frontend on the Windows itself and copyd over every thing last weekend as the Batocera USB Stick dont work whit Windows

Works great now, i have the same issues than on Batocera, Gamecube and 3DS are slow for 3D Stuff, the first Sony Handheld System works great, and Dreamcast too, .. for PS1 i have to test it whit different Emulators as the Retroarch Emulator got issues whit the CD Speed because of thie not that fast 512gb stick.., also i had some health issues yesterday evening so i ditnt wantet to play that long..

Tommorow afternoon i will try to load a few more ps1 emulators to RetroBat, maybe this will do the trick..

Dreamcast and PSP are working great whyle PS1 got some issue, this is one thing i dont understand as booth of the got a bit better grapics.. and the Pyra Duckstation runs much better than Retrobat Standart PS1 Emulator..

I just looked in the Specs and they are not that far away from Pyra : 2 x 1,4 ghz, but 8 gig ram, and a bit better Graphic Card .. ..

Its allready a cool Device, just a bit sad i ditnt had that much time to play because i have waste 2 Weekends for Copy Over Stuff..
 
World War 3 confirmed?
Not yet, but escalations appear to happen in multiple locations. Russia and Ukraine is ongoing and Hamas vs. Israel, now we might get US vs. Iran.
Who knew US had bases in Syria btw. ( https://apnews.com/article/syria-us-troops-drone-attack-6194dca97f594e3609914637463c4ce3 )

Quote: "The White House on Monday said Iran was in some cases 'actively facilitating' rocket and drone attacks by Iranian-backed proxy groups on U.S. military bases in Iraq and Syria, and President Biden has directed the Department of Defense to brace for more and respond appropriately. White House spokesman John Kirby said there had been an uptick in such attacks over the last week, and especially over the last few days, but the U.S. would not allow its interests in the region to 'go unchallenged.'"

Title: China's warships in Middle East on routine escort missions, not involved in Israel-Palestine conflict
Quote: "It is a routine practice to send three military ships at one time to the region for escort missions, so six ships will be present simultaneously in the region during a handover, Chinese military experts explained, noting that this has nothing to do with the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict."

I wasn't understanding the sentence. Reuters may have edited the article meanwhile.

I really didn't think they would attack the US directly. I mean to the USA land, but USA base abroad. When I heard this weekend that USA Navy ships in the Red sea were intercepting missiles heading to USA bases (from Yemen?) I thought, "Ups, escalated" :(. But then I heard they didn't knew the target, might be Israel. But it looks like it wasn't such an isolated case.

Sounds smaller fleet and further away than the US, but still no good. :(
