War in Ukraine

[NorthDallas40]

This is at least the second change at the top we have seen during this war. The last time it was sold as Russia getting serious and that Ukraine should be afraid because Russia had fixed its leadership problems

It will be the same story this time. But they really mean it this time!

Did season one just air in your country?

Season one was the only season. You would know this if your country wasn't 30 years behind the rest of Europe and Russia.

Saved by the Bell aired in the late 80's/early 90's here in America Comrade.

Saved by the Bell is an American Treasure.

A Chinese company has signed an oil extraction deal with Afghanistan's Taliban

Can't have these Chinese coming into Afghanistan and building infrastructure and cutting economic deals. Time for the US to send in their militia...

At Least 5 Killed In Kabul Suicide Blast Possibly Targeting Chinese Delegation | ZeroHedge

It's unclear if the Chinese delegation was targeted. If so, it would appear that terrorists are specifically seeking to go after the Chinese government's diplomatic and business presence in the country.

China has already been on alert, with Taliban authorities earlier vowing to protect Chinese nationals, after the December 12 bombing and shooting attack on Kabul's Longan Hotel, which is well-known gathering place of Chinese businessmen and diplomats.

South China Morning Post reviews of that earlier assault and others:

Isis - a key rival of the Taliban - claimed responsibility for the December 12 attack on Kabul Longan Hotel, which left five Chinese nationals injured. Several Afghan military and police were also killed.
The assault on the Longan - a hotel run by Chinese that had served a wave of visiting Chinese businessmen since the Taliban took over the country - came less than two weeks after an attack on Pakistan’s embassy in Kabul. In September, a suicide bomber hit Russia’s mission.​

You know that the Chinese has pissed off Muslims on their own right?

And secondly, you do know this is Afghanistan. No one has had much/any real success with foreign investments before.

But dont worry the chinese will legally own afghanistan in a few years and only delivered about 5% of their promise.

"Prigozhin and all those other owners of private armies are creating their own armies not for the war in Ukraine. They know by now that this war is lost. They create their own private armies for the great civil war over property that will become available after the collapse of the Putin regime."

Wonder what this is about

An operation by whom?

A nation typically changes its military leadership when a war is going well, right?

There's also a theory that his interest in Bakhmut is to take over salt and gypsum mines there.

They culled the chickens in order to save them from spreading the flu... even though they knew that it wasn't commercial poultry that was spreading the bird flu but it was regular migratory birds.

Yeah it's interesting that the flu gets constant reboots in humans, all birds, horses, dogs, and swine. As far as we know the 1918 Spanish flu got it's start in pigs in Kansas.

Sounds great in theory..But feudal..

What would become of tens of thousands of nukes.

I wouldn't celebrate.

This whole thing with eggs has been manufactured. It's funny how there seems to be no shortage of chicken at the grocery store or when I go to Chik Fil A.

Maybe so. Not sure the end game with that one. I do know that most meat birds are a different breed such as Cornish Crosses. They generally aren't raised with egg producing chickens like White Leghorns, Golden Comets, or Rhode Island Reds. Though, as a hobby farm chicken, Rhode Island Reds are a good all purpose chicken. Raised them for most of my life.

For what po purpose? I would be interested to know.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Yeah also seeing where the Brits are going to send 10-12 Challenger 2s.

10-12 Challengers... Ukrainiacs with a microphone are now starting to talk and express concern about the levels of support they are given vs what was asked for...

The US must decide what ‘victory’ means in Ukraine – or waste even more lives there | Frank Ledwidge

Until now the weaponry transferred to Ukraine has not included significant amounts of the kind of heavy equipment that will allow Ukraine to retake its land. The key capabilities here, as requested by Ukraine’s military command, are US-made tanks, armoured fighting vehicles and a step-change in the amount of artillery. We are talking here of hundreds, not tens. Earlier this month, the US announced the transfer of 50 Bradley armoured fighting vehicles. The Ukrainians asked for up to 700.

Hey dummy... the US or no one else in The West can give you what you are requesting without jeopardizing their own security... nor do any of them have the industrial capabilities of giving them to you in a timely manner that will tilt the scales in this conflict.

The EU ban on Russian oil and the $60 per barrel price cap is costing the Kremlin over $170 million a day, think tank says

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Saw a report yesterday that eggs are approaching $9.00 per dozen some places out west, or there just weren't any eggs at all at times due to bird flu supposedly. You were the first person that popped in my head lol.

Glad I have my chickens!

So how do you look at shell fragments and know the origin? A missile or a drone maybe, but a shell fragment ...

It's going to be fun watching China own Afghanistan. The list of others trying that feat is long and painful. Maybe the best strategic move we have ever made was leaving Afghanistan for the Chinese.

Even if they could prior to 2022 Ukraine and Russia used the exact same artillery.
