what did they gaing of this?
the only one who won is china, they will charge Russian for using ther bank account in china. And buy cheap oil and gas from Russia, other hand Pakistan will pay the double price for gas and oil .
I think the one shot over Odessa today is a Mi24 with some sort of engine engine dissipator.I shared it here in the first days, maybe someone will remember. Even the most modern attack helicopters in Russia's hands do not even have exhaust suppressors that dissipate the thermal trace of the engine.
That would be wonderful if key stone get approve.
Interview from White House adviser to sanctions on Russia. He says that WH is considering steps to increase energy production from America. Hope this will mean Key Stone pipeline will be revived. Announcements are expected next week
The letter "Z" brings bad luck. My advice to the Russian generals in charge of logistics is to give the letter "U" a chance.
Yes, its just mind boggling that someone who is a muslim can find the west more of a threat than Russia.The Russians killed incomparably more Muslims than any other imperial power(or imperial protected structures like Israel) and invaded more Muslim countries. But if you look at the general audience of the forum, Russians always lovable while other demonized. However, it is not the moral foundations that feed these feelings, but the conditions and interests of the countries. Russia is a 'distant threat' to many Muslim countries. The western bloc is an 'imminent threat' for some reasons.
Sadly you and I both know this is a common mentality in South Asia, especially among CSS types. Oh how I hate CSS officers.Even as a Pakistani I am saddened by this and disgusted by the embassy staff.
Russian strategic planning is deep and all western actions will have been considered and planned for. In addition, the cumulative effects of western sanctions are beginning to rebound on their authors.
- NASA is no longer a cutting edge technological concern. For years now it has relied on the import of high precision chip and circuit technologies from China and rocket engines from Russia. The US is so dependent on Russian rocket engines that these technologies have always been exempted from sanctions. Having exposed their dependency, the Russian response was obvious. Russia first announced that would no longer be cooperating with either NASA or the European Space Agencies. Both organizations rely on Russia to supply and man the International Space Station. This was followed by the announcement that Russia would no longer sell rocket engines to the US and Europe..
- Russia and Belorussia are the world's largest aluminum exporters. Due to the sanctions, aluminum prices have jumped on the London Futures Exchange to $1440 per ton. Aluminum is a critical resource in modern industry and construction.. This will cause more Inflation..
Also, according to research firm Techcet, Ukraine supplies more than 90% of the U.S.’s semiconductor-grade neon, a gas integral to the lasers used in the chip-making process, while Russia supplies 35% of the U.S.’s palladium supply, a rare metal that can be used to create semiconductors..Without Neon there is simply no semiconductor industry. Same for titanium sponge. This is the worst choke-point of them all..
- The US claims to be a net oil exporter, but this is not strictly correct. The US requires heavy oil from Russia which is mixed with Canadian and US crude in the refining process to manufacture the variety of petroleum products it consumes and exports, such as diesel.. 25% of US oil imports come from Russia who has announced it will no longer supply the US with oil. And with Europe now openly hostile, it's only a matter of time before Russia cuts off their oil and gas supply.. worsening the inflation rate..
- Another significant Russia and Belorussia exports to Europe is phosphates and fertilizers which are outputs of the Russian petrochemical industry. European agriculture is wholly depending on industrial fertilizers.. and that resource might be cut off too..hence creating a food crisis and yet, more inflation..
- On Day One of the Russian operation, gold and silver prices leapt upwards as investors sought safety and security. Both gold and silver prices are subject to active market suppression and prices returned to the status quo ante on Monday 28th February 2022. Suppression involves the massive purchase of gold futures to flood the market and thereby lower the price. This strategy only pumps up futures liabilities which will need to be repaid at some time in the future..With Russia sanctioned and cut out of SWIFT, we can expect Russia, which holds substantial physical gold reserves, will seek payment for exports in physical gold. The US has virtually no gold reserves.. so the pressure on physical gold prices can be expected to rise. If physical gold prices rise, when the gold futures come due, the higher spot price will apply.. and provoke inflation.. But not much for Russia.. Since the Russian Central Bank's decision to increase lending rates from 9% to 20% was a critically important move. Russia is prepared to weather the inevitable inflation this crisis will cause (inflation in Russia is running at 8% before the crisis). In the west, where near zero official interest rates have been maintained for nearly a decade, there is NO capacity to weather the inflationary storm. An increase of only 2 or 3% will send many national economies to the wall..
- So far the Russian military operation in Ukraine has been a reconnaissance in force preceded by the destruction of the supplies and headquarters of the Ukrainian Armed Forces by standoff weapons. The object being to find out where the Ukrainian forces are, to surround them, to check existing Russian intelligence against reality and, at the same time, destroy known headquarters, air and naval assets, supplies and ammunition depots..
At the moment they are readying for the next phase. The long column that so obsessed the “experts” on CNN and other media is the preparation for the next phase.
What appears so far is that Russia has created three encirclements. Probably the most important one is the one around Mariupol where the main concentration of Azov, the principal nazi force, is.. Another is being established around the main concentration of the Ukrainian Armed Forces facing LDPR. And there appears to be another developing to the east of Kiev. A super encirclement combining all three is visible. The nazis will be exterminated and the ordinary Ukrainian soldier will be allowed to go home.. Azov battalion started as a battalion, but is not battalion size anymore. It was at least at brigade size when it was absorbed into the official Ukrainian military along with the smaller militias. However, its officers were spread throughout the Ukrainian military.

I agree with you on this.Operations were well handed, but Iraq has dragged USA down. Despite huge resources invested that could have better spent at home. Your opinion might be different, these post 9/11 wars have impacted US economy and society in a negative way.
Consider the US military is the most preeminent in the world, looks like our 'IQ dumbs' are smarter than the rest. You better petition the Pakistani Air Force to stop training with US because the USAF is filled with 'IQ dumbs' like myself.And u say u have military experience? Do they select low IQ dumbs in US military? Because since yesterday u cant seem to be able to understand a simple point.
Then why not attack Turkey? Or any other NATO member near to Russia? Did you even researched on which NATO member hosts nuclear weapons in their countries.I am saying this again,I never said it "compels" but it does give the "option", doesnt it?? So even if placing nukes isnt compulsory, it is an option, which means Ukraine joining NATO have the "option" of allowing NATO nukes on its land. Even having this option is enough reason for Russia to invade.
Then you better find a five yr old because you are not doing a good job.Seriously i feel like arguing with a 5 yr old, though 5 yrs old may have more intelligence than u.
