tgw Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) from kyivindependent.com: Quote Romania to hold tender to repair railway line to Odesa region. The Romanian Ministry of Transport has announced a tender to repair the Giurgiulesti-Galati railway line allowing an increase of transportation of goods to Ukraine through Moldova from Romania’s second largest port in Galati. The repairs are estimated to take about 60 days and will cost about $275,000. This is a brilliant move because that bridge links Moldova and Romania.

The electromagnet pulses from a few high altitude nuclear explosions would destroy most satellites in orbit and fry digital electronics around the world. The entire global economy would shut down for an indefinite period of time. A high altitude test in 1962 disrupted electrical systems in Hawaii, which was 900 miles from the detonation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfish_Prime That was during the days of vacuum tube electronics. Modern technology is far more sensitive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough but obviously Ukraine would have many fewer in the first place so ratios might be more informative. If you're suggesting that non Russian state media is largely biased towards Ukraine I wouldn't disagree.

The study details how the Russian president’s regime is trying to manipulate public opinion on social media, as well as in the comments sections of major media outlets. Targets include the social media accounts of Boris Johnson, the British prime minister; the German chancellor, Olaf Scholz; and the EU foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/01/troll-factory-spreading-russian-pro-war-lies-online-says-uk 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putin bragged about the nuclear heads and that's a big mistake.....as my father used to say ""Dog who barks doesn't bite"" if he wanted to use them he would have done so without bragging about it. What I can't figure out it's why Nato and/or US military doesn't go in, after all Ukraine asked for help not lie in Syria who didn't ask fro help but the US went in or Nato in Kosovo/Yougoslavia/Serbia also the UN not moving in to help secure human corridors, what's the purpose of the UN, useless and should be dismantled, one of it's security members with veto power invaded a neighboring country braking the UN charter and they let it slide 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi49jr Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Over the last three months, six Russian oligarchs with Kremlin ties died under suspicious circumstances. Apparently they all committed suicide. Coincidence? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10770211/Six-Russian-billionaires-executives-oil-giant-Gazprom-died-suicide-three-months.html Not only is being a general in the Russian army a very dangerous job these days, so is being an oligarch with close ties to the Kremlin/Putin. You can have all the money in the world, but if you’re one someone’s (won’t say whose) sh*tlist it’s not going to help you one tiny little bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozimoron Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 The British Foreign Office said on Sunday Russia is using a troll factory to spread disinformation about the war in Ukraine on social media and target politicians across a number of countries including Britain and South Africa. Britain cited UK-funded expert research, which it did not publish. It said the research exposed how the Kremlin's disinformation campaign was designed to manipulate international public opinion of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, boost support for it and recruit new sympathisers. https://nordot.app/893273374932680704?c=592622757532812385 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozimoron Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 In addition to slamming Russian President Vladimir Putin for military “incompetence,” the former commander also accused him of unleashing war crimes on Ukraine, beginning with “the illegal invasion of a neighbor and a democracy” and including “massacring” civilians, destroying cities and “using rape as a weapon of war.” Stavridis said General Alexander Dvornikov, who Russia last month put in charge of its invasion of Ukraine, is “well-known to Western intelligence as the ‘Butcher of Syria.’” https://thehill.com/news/sunday-talk-shows/3472752-ex-nato-commander-loss-of-top-russian-officers-amid-invasion-unprecedented-in-modern-history/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
