Tanks, ammo, men, money…

According to some approved and credible sources, Russia is losing 1,500 soldiers a day and has been since October and have losses of 700,000 men https://au.news.yahoo.com/russia-paying-extraordinary-price-ukraine-062643220.html Considering this has been very much an artillery war and not hand to hand combat and that Russia is firing at least 5 times more artillery, one wonders what the losses on the other side is. I find Zelensky’s figure of 30,000 a bit questionable.

Actually, that’s not strictly true. There are plenty of reports of Ukrainian losses, just not in western msm. Things that go against the western narrative is either discouraged, disallowed or censored whilst every Russian tank taken out is reported as a major victory. That’s why many still think it’s worth continuing the conflict which is the main objective.

As Kremlin has denied such a call took place and the Trump camp has not confirmed it, there is doubt as to whether such a call actually took place. Even if such a call took place, I wonder what Trump means by “escalation”. How is Russia “escalating” the war when it is just continuing to do what it has done the past 3 years? If by continuing military actions means escalation, then Putin obviously doesn’t care about what Trump is alleged to have said. Not a good start for the President-elect.

men work out at the gym, drink beer, shoot guns, chop wood, watch football etc Sounds like your typical knuckle dragger…

EVs suit most people. I average 100 km per day in my EV. My other car hardly get driven except when I need to “use” the petrol to stop it going stale.

How does someone who hasn’t bought an EV realise that they are junk? I can tell you from personal experience that a well made EV is far superior to its ICE counterpart. Better performance and cheaper to maintain and operate. And before you say it, range anxiety exists only in the minds of non EV owners.

Seems like you don’t understand how the system works. Most news outlets get their information from mainly Reuters and/or AFP and then report it in their own media. They do not do their own research or journalism.

Which part of “Russia attacks Estonia” did you not understand? A missile struck an apartment building in Kiev which is in Ukraine, not Estonia. The Estonian ambassador happened to be one of the many residents in this apartment building. If you don’t view the headline as downright wrong, there is nothing much to say.

Looks like western msm is really losing the plot with completely erroneous headlines. They are no longer credible sources in my opinion.

I had the same issue when I visited a rather rural Mooban in the depths of Isaan and the GWM supplied granny charger showed a fault as there was no earth. I quickly got myself one of those aftermarket chargers where you can alter the amps from 6A to 16A. This is invaluable as even charging at 10A can trip the circuit board in certain areas of low electrical power.

The United Kingdom has pledged to reach 2.5 percent of GDP on defense within this decade, marking a substantial increase in its commitment Meanwhile, big employers like Sainsbury’s and M&S will see their operational costs increase by millions due to hikes in NI contributions and minimum wage increases resulting in inevitable job cuts and rise in prices. Way to go. Shows how totally corrupt the western political system is.

Yes, it is blindingly obvious, as you said. However, you need to zoom out and look at the bigger picture. Why did Russia start this SMO? I don’t believe that it’s because they want to have more territory. After all, have you seen a map recently? Are you aware how big a country Russia is in terms of land mass? I have listened to real experts, professors at highly acclaimed western and eastern universities, who have explained how and why NATO’s expansion eastwards is a security threat to Russia and in spite of Russia’s warnings, they (NATO) ignore it and continue to do so. This, in their (the experts) opinion is why Russia is compelled to act. I find their reasons compelling and natural. We see this playing out in Asia as well but fortunately, the Chinese, with their thousands of years of civilisation, will achieve a better result.

I do not know that. But then, neither do you. Duh! (No need to shout).

I think the ones supporting death in Ukraine are those that state publicly that Ukraine should fight to the last Ukrainian. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out who would win a war between Russia and Ukraine.
