Did I say I had a problem?

German and the Soviet Union were also friends during WWII, until they were not. Russia 🇷🇺 need to defend it border ever day of the week, day and night. The Chinese smuggle across the border, even walk in and set up farming in remote areas. Also Russia has borders with some wild Muslim countries that are know for everything by love and peace. What is the North Korean Kursk killing go sour and Kim is in a bad mood? The safest borders are Russia's NATO borders.

@Crossy Will the timer type surge protector alone work for protection or should both be installed in series? The timer type is not MOV as far as I can see, right? Is the below Schneider a better option?

Nobody believed in the day 1 claim and certainly nobody complained, everyone was too busy laughing.

Did tRUmp tell a truth? I totally missed that, when did that happen?

Is the Pitbull AVR any good? The 12 kVA unit is 15,600 baht. This is just for 2 small (9,000 BTU) ACs, fridge, TV and 100 W of LED lights. + short periods of an 1,800 W vacuum cleaner.

Tesla is toast.

They are not forgotten at all. Ukriane remember and honor their fallen heroes. A strong national identity will emerge out of the ashes of this war, similar to Findland after the winter war. ssstwitter.com_1741312691450.mp4

Just like Ukraine 🇺🇦, I was just trying to do the right thing, but I was quickly outgunned by Russia 🇷🇺. It is all in my book.

There are of course more than one way to bring the conflict to an end. Trump's way of throwing Ukraine under the bus is just wrong and against democratic values. Arm Ukriane to force Russia 🇷🇺 to come to the table is the right thing to do. Hamas can rot in hell as far as I am concerned.

Did you say MAGA?

I don't think any of us would last long on the front line, especially not in a brutal war like the Ukrainian conflict. That said, I have lived 2 years in Russia 🇷🇺 and yes I have had a couple of kalashnikovs pointed directly at me. What insights does Frankie have?

Nope, but as we have seen in Ukraine 🇺🇦, even large numbers of missiles don't win a war. European military 🪖 strategy was always bases on the fear that Russia would roll 10,000 tanks over the flat plains of Poland all the way to Paris over a long weekend. That thread is no longer there, thanks to Ukraine.

The Thai EV market is not totally dead with strong registrations in February. That said, February 2025 registrations are actually lower than February 2023 registrations numbers.

Killing commies on the cheap, what is not to like? Top contributors in aid for Ukraine/person: Denmark: 1850€/person Norway: 1520€/person Netherlands: 744€/person Finland: 700€/person Sweden: 610€/person Then there's USA: 196€/person

Vietnam 🇻🇳 or the Vietnam War is a good example of exactly why Ukraine 🇺🇦 can win the war. In Vietnam a poorly equipped, but very determined army was up against a vastly superior invading force. Fighting for your homeland and very existence make a difference. As for Germany 🇩🇪, yeah, probably not a good idea for Ukraine to march on Moscow.

Because an agressive Russia can do many things that fall below the threshold of war. Cutting cables, killing people with novichok and polonium, proxy wars in Syria and Africa. They could also make an incursion to connect Kaliningrad to mainland Russia. There is a good documentary on Netflix called "Turning Point" about the Cold War and how it shaped the world and the Russia we are facing today. In there, that say, the only language Russia understands is violence or the threat of violence. Europe need to prepare for war to avoid war.

Ukrainian lives, both civilian and military 🪖, matter a great deal, but the responsibility of every live lost in this war fall square on Russian shoulders. The west was happy with a status quo.

The Ukrainian war has been a major success, in the sense that it is the last war Russia 🇷🇺 will ever fight with its large Soviet era military 🪖 equipment stockpile. Russia 🇷🇺 has effectively been disarmed and it will take them decades to rebuild an army to defend their 20,000 km of land borders.
