I am moving to Neocities

This blog will be moved to neocities.

I think it´s fine to visit it already. Minor fixes will be applied within the next few days:

https://angelo-sasso.neocities.org/ 

I hope to close this blog by september probably. So, cya at neocities! 

Reason is, that blogger is super inefficient at almost anything, albeit convenient for writing and publishing I will give them that.

Also it´s for political reasons:

I despise most things associated with the current state of the web, going to neocities provides me with greater freedom and once the blog is set up I can easily set it up everywhere else if need be. 

I will probably clean up the content in the process too.

Currently about 80% of the work is done.

It will be cleaner, faster, with better data privacy and much, much more minimalist.

Blog entries will be about 10% of the lines of "code" it has in blogger all while being cleaner, more accessible and less annoying. The whole blog´s size will probably be below 1 megabyte when finished (yes, all in all, all entries etc.)

Also, there will be 0 Ads, not even affiliate links. 

More Information coming soon!

A morally questionable approach to end Russia´s aggression

As of January 2025, Russia's war on Ukraine is entering its third year. While Western democracies lack a cohesive strategy beyond imposing lackluster sanctions to end the conflict, there are several ways to bring Russia to its knees and compel it to withdraw from Ukraine.

In its attempt to capture Ukraine, Russia has suffered massive losses in manpower and materiel, to the point where it now relies on North Korean soldiers and artillery shells to sustain its war effort. This reliance indicates that Russia has largely run out of momentum, as evidenced by its minimal territorial gains achieved at the cost of extreme casualties.

As a result, Russia is largely incapable of defending itself against potential aggression from a third-party country and is dependent on China's goodwill to avoid invasion and the annexation of territories that China views as historically or strategically significant.

This situation presents an opportunity for a morally questionable yet potentially effective strategy to bring peace:

A Western alliance could engage with China's leadership and make it explicitly clear that, in the event of a Chinese invasion of Russian territory, Western nations would refrain from intervening militarily and would either minimize sanctions or forego them altogether.

Additionally, Western countries could agree to recognize China's territorial gains as legitimate, provided that China recognizes Taiwan as an independent nation.

China might seize such an opportunity and invade the Russian territories in question. Faced with its inability to defend itself, Russia would be forced to choose between losing significant territory to China or withdrawing from Ukraine to focus its resources on countering its Asian neighbor.

As an added benefit, this scenario would allow Western intelligence agencies to observe China's military capabilities in action, providing valuable insights into its strategic and operational strength.
