Those aren't 'high level economics'.
They are really, really basic questions that anyone with an opinion on the topic should know the answer to. I'm asking the person with the strong opinion of 'everything is fine' to back up his\her opinion and he can't. Simple as.
Not sure why you're losing the head.
Poland is replacing its gas with this
Bulgaria is replacing its gas with this
You forgot Iran. 😉
Well i would say Iran is more of a trade partner like India and not actually an ally.
I cant remember anywhere that they actually have a military alliance of some sort.
You mean the four legged variety?
No the russian variant is a species of rats
In fairness as drones go it looks feckin' cool. Though if it's from 1979 the camera is probably a polaroidski.
Do you doubt Bulgaria and Poland are sourcing fuel elsewhere? Do you doubt they are not motivated and capable to be fully independent of Russian energy, especially by next winter. Why would you even doubt it - are you worried about the Polish or the Russians? You DO realise there is no good outcome for Russian in this - the sooner this is realised the better - and the less FUBAR Russia will be. It's not that they wont be FUBAR, but to what extent - that's still up to them somewhat.
Any update on that mechanic in Clane with the Z cars? Is he still in business?
Because you are asking too much of them. They referenced an article and you've asked for more detail. Now that you've assured us it's easy to answer toddle off and report back the answers. Don't be long now... but until you report back we'll take the article at face value.
That's the first time I've seen Russians doing anything like that.
Might be a senior member of the front line command.
I would say its still photos and no live stream lol
Looking at this again that's a fire and lose. There's no way that drone can be reused again.
If this goes on much longer the Russians will be resorting to this...
They are absolute spoofers. The claimed a couple of weeks ago that around 23,000 Ukrainian troops had been killed in action - a figure that nobody outside Russia believes.
They have shot down more aircraft in Ukraine ,more than the Ukrainans actually had
Russia 'has completely lost Ukraine', says former Chinese ambassador. He's not kind to them at all!

Rapists and war criminals..they can go and get fukked.

I hate to be "that guy" but it doesn't look like they're in an awful hurry either.
a game of Pontoon anyone?
The study referenced here suggests a worst case of 12%.
TBH it doesn't matter what data people point to as the German government are convinced that it will hit them hard so will not move against the gas supplies until they get alternatives lined up.
Pay no attention to this one : it's a pro-Kremlin account pumping out Russian propaganda (i.e. non stop lies).
Its a soviet era kamikaze drone,sometimes it comes in return
I think they found one in Zagreb as well in the beginning of the invasion that had gone on a one man mission.lol
The Guardian made reference to this story in their updates as well, though they leaned a bit more on the idea of Putin using nuclear weapons. The U.S. appears to be saying that Putin has no plan to achieve his objectives, not after being scuppered in their original plan by Ukrainian determination and being well supplied by the West (though not as much as they would like, still).
To be honest, I don't see how Putin will achieve his aims without rethinking his tactics. Does Russia have the capabilities and public will to sustain months of intense fighting? I find it hard to envision that. We're not in WW2 times any more. It's backward, senseless and utterly destructive to be fighting this kind of war.
Russia should have no say in what any nation does, I hope Finland and Sweden join it they d be foolish not to.
Russia threatening Sweden and Finland about joining NATO only further validates those countries' doing so. If Russia knew some other diplomatic language than rockets, bombs, tanks and guns, they'd probably not be so hated.
Hope this happens. They've been in there, defending for 2 months. They've been looking death in the face for too long.
Asking people who make statements that something is 'easy' to back them up with facts is unreasonable now? Easier to throw a tantrum at being challenged I suppose.
That hit on the Russian tank was 34 kms east of the Mariupol steelworks.
Don't mind the message, sensitive material. It's just a google map.
