The video is spliced from successive drone ships as they hit the 112.5 meter long vessel. The last part seems to show the massive ship rapidly rolling onto its side.

Russian state propaganda like RT is not Op-Ed, not even the same side of the sun. Folks who can't see that are easily fooled.

By measuring the difference in scattering of infrared light in the 8.7 and 12µm wavelength bands, which correspond to the particle size of interest. The bigger the difference the more particles of that size. You can also use wavelengths near 2.5 and 5µm. Other wavelengths are blocked by the atmosphere.

Well, Mr. Putin, your interview worked well. Within days, the US Senate dropped ongoing arguments and issues voting 67 to 32 to advance a $97 billion bill that predominately aids Ukraine. Reuters Better shore up your Crimean Bridge defenses, dude.

So what's the difference between kilometers squared and square kilometers? Hint: At 365 kilometers squared, you've ranked Gaza as the 95th largest country ahead of Greece, Nicaragua, and North Korea. [ref] [ref] As for electric/data cables connecting to UNWRA headquarters. It is not possible to make such connections without the complete involvement of UNRWA facilitates engineers. You cannot connect wires if you don't know what they connect to and specs like voltage, phase, amperage, and data format. You will blow everything up. Such work also requires sign off from higher ups as it impacts operations. Of course they knew, and everyone knows they knew.

I did answer, clearly, concisely and provided relevant examples. In today's super complex high tech world, cooperation produces optimal, cost effective solutions. It also provides essential weapons system interoperability between allies, not to mention cost effective maintenance. So to continue, you need to establish: 1) what advantage is there in making a fully independent UK carrier jet, and 2) how is your question relevant to sending an aircraft carrier to the Red sea?

Chamberlain's appeasement of Adolf Hitler that caused WW2 too bland for you? Try enough thermonuclear weapons to extinguish life. If you really like it spicy, check out Putin's doomsday weapons, which he is developing, and testing...

Maybe I'm focused on clear and present danger, one that can't be ignored. China certainly has the capacity to do a lot of damage longer term. However, China and America have a functional relationship that neither can ignore. Putin's Russia is truly rogue.

Point 1. Modern high tech industry is not the way it use to be, anywhere. Point2. S-400 WIKI "The anti-aircraft version of the missile system, designed to destroy aircraft, cruise, and ballistic missiles, can also be used against ground targets. The S-400 is able to intercept cruise missiles at a range of only 40 km (25 mi) due to their low-altitude flight paths." This was not the first S-400 catastrophe. Watch Putin claim to his power base that Crimea is now completely safe because of S-400, right before his Crimea headquarters is wiped from Ukraine by Storm Shadow.

Not the same. China is Americas greatest competitor by far. Putin's Russia is America's and the world's greatest strategic threat. Listen to the first 3 minutes. Julia Ioffe on Putin and America.

Thank you for the time to give a clear answer. I see a somewhat scientific and analytical sampling of global media sources. Notably you have no source of information from Russia. RT and Sputnik are propaganda organs of Putin's regime. Most countries have army, navy, and air force. Russia has army, navy, air force, and propaganda. It's weaponized and integral with their covert operations, and has been so from long ago. You need hear Russians to circumvent the propaganda. A top expert on Putin and his oligarchy is a Russian born woman named Julia Ioffe ("Yoh-fee"). She is keenly analytical. She is not anti-Putin and explains things in ways comprehensible to Western minds. She has many good interviews on Youtube. Here and here are good staring points for Putin and Ukraine.

Hi support, After yesterday, every time I login to the forum, from the same device, even without closing the forum window, I receive a new "New Device Login" message. This should not be. As a safe desktop user, I log in and out anywhere I go, which now generates significant email pollution from AN. I use Linux with AIS as my IP provider. The issue is with both Firefox and Chrome. The second error i see is that the New Device Login message wrongly reports my location as Ratchathewi (Khwaeng Samsen Nai), Bangkok. I am no where near Ratchathewi and others correctly report my IP location as Nonthaburi. While not a cataclysmic problem, it can be quite irritating to constantly clean out email pollution. Anyway to fix it? Many thanks and keep up the good work.

Yes, he looked deathly in his mausoleum in 1966. Actually quite waxy.

I guess you are on board with that. And I thought I was leading the pack 🙂 Thank you. You are the second person to describe were their actual views come from. Mine are similar in that they come from long time experience with Russia and Russians. Though I never lived there, I did meet Lenin when I was there.

OK, fair enough so far but you didn't reveal much, just that you listen and decide. I think most will say something similar including that the other 'side' is misinformed. Also agree most politicians and journalists have other priorities. But my question is where do you get your information from, where does it originate? Another poster gave a great account of his sources of views on Russia. This is a critical because of Russia's historic weaponization of disinformation on a scale that most Westerners can't comprehend, as in it doesn't compute.

So, you just listen to the 'true' side? I'm still waiting for you to reveal your special sources on Russia. Odd that you accuse others, whom you don't know, of listening to propaganda yet you won't reveal your own sources. They say the make of a man is in how he views others.

Why does it "have to be"? You thinking is out of date. That's not how modern industrial manufacturing works. Aside from British aerospace industry being no. 2 in the world, BAE makes a significant part of America's F35's fuselage along with two US companies [ref]. So even the US does not build everything. Also, performance matters. Today's top video shows Russians going berserk in an open field as their S400 missile system fails to shoot down multiple British Storm Shadows whizzing directly overhead. Lol. But Putin said it would work...

What do you really know about Russia? Putin? How did you learn it? From where? Can you break down "Russia" in to its various constituent parts? That's not a challenge, it's a sincere question. I would like to know.

Oil? Difficult driving? Some may remember the LNG truck that sped off a highway exit onto New Phetchaburi Road, turned over blocking all lanes of evening rush-hour traffic, cracked, and poured LNG down the road under 100+ cars and seeped in to buildings for 10 minutes before it detonated. Explosions and fires burned for 24 hrs through 51 shop-houses destroying 67 cars and killing 88 people making it one of Thailand's deadliest man-made disasters (except the dynamite truck). Why? The gas tank was not secured to the truck. The next morning my girlfriend, reading That Rat with a huge front page picture of a torso shaped black cinder on a white sheet, said "Lets go to the hospital and look at the dead burnt bodies!" That's when it really sank in that Thai do not think about death as we do, if at all. Thailand Dynamite Truck Explosion. LA Times. Warning read first: Authorities said some police officers were believed among the dead and that other victims may have been passengers on a bus that was in the area at the time of the blast. (but they would never know for sure).

You figure? Hebrew belongs to the Canaanite group of languages. Canaanite languages are a branch of the Northwest Semitic family of languages. Hebrew flourished as a spoken language in the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah during the period from about 1200 to 586 BCE. [ref] How did an Afroasiatic language come from Europe???

Once upon a time, in an alternate universe, Britain made it's own aircraft that were excellent, but does it make anything now? sources: Not RT [wiki] The aerospace industry of the United Kingdom is the second-largest national aerospace industry in the world (after the United States) and the largest in Europe by turnover, with a global market share of 17% in 2019. In 2020, the industry employed 116,000 people.

Agree, that's why I said ordinary jewelry. I too would test a gold bar.

I would be more worried about someone in Thailand making fake 23K gold jewelery out of spent Uranium, which is easier to work with, and, radioactive.

Use a steel nail or file, won't touch tungsten. (Mohs harness) gold 24K 2.5 gold 14K 3.5-3.8 iron nail ~4-4 steel nail 5-7 steel file ~7.5 tungsten 8-9 Though I doubt anyone would make ordinary jewelry from tungsten. It melts at 3422 °C (6,191.6 °F) and is so hard it will dent a steel hammer used to shape it.

Russia has one, it has been in repair since 2017. [ref] In July, Russian state media reported that Russia's sole aircraft carrier, Admiral Kuznetsov, could return to active service by the end of 2024. Kuznetsov has been undergoing repairs since 2017, and its return to duty has been delayed repeatedly by mishaps and malfunctions. (Other sources add corruption.) More: WIKI Ship repairmen warned the military that the condition of Admiral Kuznetsov does not allow it to be deployed due to the high probability that it would sink or capsize. ... the metal structures below the third deck were significantly corroded. The holds are filled with muddy water, which makes it impossible to examine the ship in detail from the inside.
