  1. resources and people. because Russia is demographically <deleted>
  2. a more recent map https://x.com/JayinKyiv/status/1821852269660316127
  3. yes - although the reconstruction will be profitable for many more than just investors and company owners, whole sectors of industry will benefit as well as their workers. We are talking big industries here, construction, energy, civil engineering, etc. Heavy stuff.
  4. and that's exactly why Ukraine's debt will be a non-issue after the war.
  5. doesn't even need a link as it's non-news. combats happening, there are wounded, blood is needed. nothing unexpected.
  6. as expected, sadly. Ruzzia's army : - before 2022, second best army in the word - end of 2022, second best army in Ukraine - now: second best army in Russia
  7. https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/83a2f24901c941d581c0c523ecd2619b this is yesterday's map. I guess Ukraine's objectives are Rylsk, Lgov, Kurchatov and NPP, and the area where the bigger roads intersect just east from Kurchatov and south of Kursk. I hope they made good progress since then. Yesterday's map shows the Ukrainian spearhead just 10-15 miles away from what I would guess is their primary objective. Maybe it's been taken by now. The area is very defensible in the long term, attacks from the north are unlikely due to unfavourable terrain, which only leaves the eastern flank to defend. Taking the NPP would be good for Ukraine, and it would also for the first time put some pressure on a Russian city. They should cut off Kursk from power and instead redirect it to Ukraine. Might take some time though, lines are probabably either inexistent or damaged. Just out of spite and for comical effect, I would definitely suggest conduction a referendum there for the establishment of an "Autonomous Kursk Republic". 137% of Kursk Oblast's population will vote in favour.
  8. the first map of the incursion showed just a little territory lost by Ruzzia, but Operator Starky's video hints at much larger Ukrainian gains, including larger towns such as Sudzha, Koronevo and Rylsk
  9. Your premise is probably false, since it's estimated that there are over 11 million draftable men and over 3 million have updated their military information.
  10. zero chance of that with biometric passport check
  11. you got the wrong idea. the West does not want Putin's regime to collapse, because if it did, Ruzzia would probably breakup into smaller pieces, each with its own warlord and its own nuclear weapons... So the West protects Putin's life and will ensure a government transition in Ruzzia that preserves its statehood.
  12. this bit already tells everything: I bet police on both sides did something. They checked what they could check, probably got him on CCTV and got his immigration checkout photo, and the Finns are also guaranteed to know where he went. BUT as he is a grown man over 18, his travels, visa status, passport details, entry and exit stamps and whereabouts are nobody's business but his own.
  13. thank you, that's what I thought as well
  14. Got a question regarding the following situation: Guy with British passport has an extension of stay (NON B) until mid-2025 with a valid work permit (which expires end of August 2024). He goes play the casino at Poi Pet but forgets to make a re-entry permit and leaves Thailand at Poi Pet. What happens when he presents himself a few hours later to re-entrer Thailand ? Is he granted entry, and which stamp does he receive ?
  15. only 7 ? what a meager crop
  16. thanks for setting the record straight. so: 2016 election was successfully rigged by the Russians because Obama's FBI acted too late 2020 election was not rigged because the FBI finally took action against the riggers
  17. alone the fact that this topic is major MAGA campaign talking point says everything
  18. zero use, unfortunately 1- that's what I'm doing 2- waste of money, doesn't work 3- symptoms are daily and there is no inflammation 4- hahaha 5- there are no irritants to rinse out BTW, I also visited 3 otorhinolaryngologists in the past who were as useful as the AI. but then, I didn't demonstrate the symptom. might have worked if the assistants were more attractive. alas, this was in Switzerland and France.
  19. I've had this condition for as long as I can remember. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeymoon_rhinitis https://medium.com/@moderntechbiz/the-ultimate-guide-to-dealing-with-honeymoon-rhinitis-c920d227c30 My nose is neither inflammated nor irritated nor is it an allergy. The wikipedia article is close to the truth: additionally, my condition is also related to blood pressure. since I was a child, every time I did sports, my nose would shut. the only treatment that worked so far are decongestants. is there another treatment ? I know my father had the insides of his nose cauterized using red-glowing iron.
  20. this "rebranding as family destination" must be a running gag or something
  21. I have a location for Apple's next video
  22. first, what does one have to do to arrive at a disused hall in Don Muang ? everything in that video is the extreme. the hotel ... can you even find a hotel in that state on agoda or booking.com ? how many taxi drivers look like that ? ... sadly, I don't have the video to make a list, but what is shown in the video is unrealistic + unflattering. it's like taking Sasha Baron Cohen's "Borat" as a portrayal of the USA in a large brand's commercial. Borat! Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
  23. by the way, does anyone have a copy of the film, or knows where to download it ?
