and an economy bombed out by Russia, which is only really able to fund the war, due to massive European aid. Not to mention stuff like sanctions. There are also options like European soldiers in Ukraine and stuff like that.

It makes sense for them to sit on the table.

Australian media tends to focus on Australia....

It is just crazy that Russian casualties are 1% of their entire population, not including the occupied parts of Ukraine.

With that you could fly Scotland-Iceland-Greenland-Canada.

and this is were things start to get interesting. Russia is the largest country in the world and that means they need to transport everything over huge distances. With less diesel it is going to be hard to fuel trucks. So last mile delivery is going to become a problem. Not in Moscow of cause as it is the capital and will always be treated better, but we probably see empty shelves in far out villages soon.

To be fair, when the refineries close to me would be burning and I drove an ICE car, I would fill up too.

The recruitment from Moscow is much lower. It is the richest city in the country, so they do not need the soldier contracts that badly and Putin does not want to piss them off. As in it is easier to storm the Kremlin, when you are in Moscow already.

Wait only 20 chargers per city on average? That seems low.

Something like the Epstein files only work, when you have a somewhat working democracy. Trump is already above the law and he can pardon everybody else. Also the trouble Trump can cause an American is way worse then the Epstein files.

I am working Boss! The model is currently running.....

So true... every yacht under a billion is for the plebs....

Of cause, they want to kill the peace deal between Iran and the US.

The elections in Israel are next October. If Netanyahu looses, he is going on trial for corruption. Also he needs the support of the far right to govern and they hate this deal. So he rather keeps the war going to then let the next prime minister deal with this.

The Soviets produced a lot of them and I doubt that they will be used in an air-to-air role due to being too short ranged. The advantage of them is that they have their own seeker, so even the Houthis managed to use them as a ground based air defence system, as they do not need radars or anything like that.

Ukraine said that Russia has had 27 operable Tu-22M left in 2023. They lost seven after that claim. Also the main factory working on bombers has been hit.

It will be interesting to see what Israel will do. This would be a defeat for them. Currently they have two options for a victory. One is to defeat Hezbollah to the point that the Lebanese government takes full control over the country. The other one is to finish the genocide in Gaza(aka kill everybody). To me especially that one sounds like it might happen. Israel needs to kill the peace deal and this would look bad for Iran, as they are seen as a sort of protector of Gaza.

It also might just about keep Netanyahu in power, as taking Gaza would make him a hero for radical Zionists.

If you want to hurt Chinas economy, that is a great target.

Funny thing something like that happened to the account:

No this is coal:
