Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Just reading this. .. https://mate.substack.com/p/siding-with-ukraines-far-right-us

Wonder what the experts here think and what they think of Obama's take from 2015

great idea, lets just in typical American military style ignore how that has worked out in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Vietnam , Cuba , a latter day expansion of China etc etc

Front of class of the American military academy for you , a gift for ignoring reality whilst sounding sophisticated.

"Perhaps floating nuclear power plants is a stupid idea "

Ive been fairly patient with the sheer stupidiity of many on here, but theres a limit. This ranks up there with one of the dumbest things I have heard in 2022.

you see this is a fine example of how sometimes the Western mind fed on a diet of whatever the media choose, has lost the ability for long term strategic thinking.

Its a fine example of how often in desperation the Western mind (and many on this thread) loses all objective analysis ability and makes dumb statements simply because they cant face reality.

Perhaps floating nuclear poor plants is a stupid idea..... we are in the midst of a global energy crisis of sorts , energy has become weaponised (hate the word but lets use it here) , and people here thinking the creation of small scale floating power stations that can be moved to remote regions at will is a dumb idea.

Germany is about to cancel the shutting down of 3 nuclear stations, and Germany would like to re-start the 3 nuclear power stations it shut down last year but cant for legal reasons, and someone here thinks the ability to have a floating nuclear power station is a dumb idea.

The IEA International Energy Agency has said that Nuclear is a key part of a green future , and some cretin here thinks Russia building nuclear power station floating platforms is a dumb idea.

The Artic has trillions of minerals in its territory, it will be a terrain that all nations will fight for control of, and as ice melts is opening up to more activity, and Russia has built the worlds first floating nuclear power stations to benefit from this and to bring power to its remote regions and you have to deal with the sheer stupidiity of people here who think being able to bring power a nuclear power station to this region in a short space of time is a dumb idea.

Plus the reactors can also act as de-salination plants, converting sea water to fresh water.. you probably think thats a dumb idea too.

Dude Ive too many posters here that are due a response, I dont have time to respond to everyone, Im going to have to ignore you , your just not worthy of a response, come back in a few years after you have read a few books or something.

Thats wishful thinking to think Russia will be irrelevant.

The ISS Russia-NASA partnership runs out in 2024 . A White House and a NASA spokesperson have stated (even after the war started, open to correction) , that they want to extend this relationship to 2030. Do you think the west will be able to walk away from the ISS , or manage it without Russian cooperation. Sure the West could adapt and mange the ISS by themselves from a technical viewpoint, but if they dont get Russian cooperation how can they do that.

The west has been heavily reliant on Russia space tech, particulariy the Soyuz rocket for payload delivery, and the loss of Russian tech is putting a stop/halt/interrupt to some western space programs. .

OneWeb is building a broadband constellation that will initially consist of 648 satellites. More than 420 of them have reached orbit to date, all on Russian-built Soyuz rockets operated by France-based company Arianespace. OneWeb missions have launched from Baikonur, Vostochny Cosmodrome in Russia's Far East 

For example, Europe recently announced that its life-hunting Mars rover Rosalind Franklin will no longer launch atop a Russian Proton rocket and land on a Russian-built platform, as previously planned — moves that will likely push the rover's liftoff back six years, to 2028. Russia is no longer selling Russian-made rocket engines to American companies, and Soyuz rockets aren't flying out of Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana as they once did.

You should pay more attention to whats happening in the space industry and less to what the media spin you .

Of course the Russian space industry has been impacted, but I think its too early to claim its demise. A bit like it was too early to say their army was ajoke, or their economy would collapse. They are a resilient people, doesnt anyone pay attention to history anymore.

" On China

"

Yep China is a honest broker in all of this and clearly has a long record of never doing any dodgy deals to sell stuff to a nation which the west has turned against.

I guess people really do believe everything their leaders in the West tell them.

I know Russia is full of propaganda, I know Ukraine is full of propaganda, and I know the EU and the West is also full of it.

I guess most people here are too afraid to contemplate a world where they would have to face the reality their Western leaders feed them alot of bs propaganda to make them feel good.

I knew his level of stupidity would not get it. My soft side had hoped maybe there was something going on between the ears. Im too nice sometimes.

The man who claims the War in Afghanistan had no impact on peoples lives, doesnt understand how airport security, the travel industry has been changed irrevocably since and partly due to that war in Afghanistan .

The war in Afghanistan changed our lives for ever, and impacts us everyday still, some small, some inconvenient, some big, some unseen, you just dont know it cos you may have been dropped on the head as a baby .

" Another popular one is that Russian oil is being transferred in the middle of the ocean to get around sanctions. Yep. "

So two types of posters here, one is a glaringly stupid type, the only a mother could love em type with their a washing machine is more complex than a Soyuz rocket posts.

The other is a more subtle style of stupidity. They make the longer posts hoping that by sheer volume of sophistry their ignorance will be masked.

So yep BLOOMBERG REPORTS RUSSIAN OIL IS BEING TRANSFERRED AT SEA IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT .

So you see folks, Comical Ali being a mod with 30k posts just means theres a high chance theres 30k plus of rubbish out there on this forum , all with a stamp of approval from the top. I love that your signoff says "If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are. " , at least you know where you sit in that equation .

I know FACTS hurt both the brain and the heart strings, especially for people of poor intellect as they cant dis-associate emotions from actions ,

the FACTS are Rusisan oil is bypassing sanctions as I have stated . Its been my expereince to best face FACTS and REALITIES , put aside thinking someone who states a fact is a Putin bot, and address the issue rather than thinking ignoring it will solve it.

Russian Oil Disappears as Tankers Go Dark Near Azores
