  1. There’s nothing “hot” about that piece of work.

  2. Trump might pull out of NATO but (1) not while the Ukraine SMO is running and (2) not while it’s what Putin expects to happen.
    31
  3. The talk of deals and “gratefulness” is a distraction. Trump has decided it’s cheaper to let Putin have Ukraine. Europe and Ukraine have other ideas.

  4. USA could comfortably close its borders yet continue as if nothing had changed. What other country has everything it needs?

  5. The soldier slaves are mere consumables. They will never go home.

  6. Storm Shadow has two w@rheads. The first shaped charge punches through a bunker wall. The second goes off inside.

  7. Eastern Ukraine has huge gas, coal, iron, manganese, nickel and lithium resources. Putin does not want that going to Europe without him taking a cut.

  8. NK soldiers are trained to march and clap. That’s it.

  9. She’s doing nothing unusual. Rich powerful man loses it all. The Mrs always stays with her man. Yeah right.

  10. USA’s $65 Billion from 2024 spent at least 80% on USA. Just $15 went to Ukraine. Similar situations applied in previous years. Not to mention the slow walking and micromanaging that crimped anything Ukraine could achieve. USA has provided a lot to Ukraine but it’s not even close to 300 Billion.

  11. USSR claimed they lost 15,000 soldiers in Afghanistan. Reality was at least 10x that amount. Anything less would not have activated enough mothers to act.

  12. U233 is a poor bomb material as it’s almost impossible to separate from U232. The latter has a dampening effect on 233 as a bomb fuel. It’s just easier to use Plutonium. Molten salt reactors are more about fully using the fuel (99% v 4% in a water reactor. The chloride design being homologated in Canada solves the material and salt glow problems associated with the 1960s Weinberg design

  13.  @Sare204 Unfortunately NATO is doing its best to deliver less than what’s needed. NATO needs to step up. Fast.

  14. NK fired one rocket straight up. They don’t have any targeting technology. But that’s one better than Russia that can’t even launch one rocket.

  15. The TikTok product toxicity is not the issue. It’s the many ways these apps can steal information.

  16. He’s a classic psychopath - doesn’t care how much damage and misery he causes. Bounces from one tactic to another and Incapable of strategic thinking.

  17. Oreshnik fired one payload at Ukraine. The re-entry vehicles all arrived in the same place. There was no independent targeting and no significant damage caused. They all but burnt up during re-entry. It was a spectacular failure.

  18. Ukraine IS capable of retaking its territory and the weapons costs can come from the $300 Billion Russian assets held in EU banks. It’s the ultimate F around and find out.

  19. Russian air defences can’t even stop slow flying drones from Ukraine. They have no hope against F35.

  20. Tariffs are a tax. They are paid by domestic users of the goods. The foreign supplier gets the same price they always did. Except their market size gets reduced.

  21. Design and manufacturer of any tank has a long lead time so will always be built for the last war. Bradley has been the exception because it places protection above gunnery fire power.

  22. He had to dodge ATGMs and falling tank turrets.

  23. At around 10:00 Russia was saying it will attack UK if Storm Shadow gets used on Russian territory. Strange because they annexed Eastern Ukraine and Crimea. They are all Russian territory. But today 26-Sep-24, British railway WiFi was hacked with users directed to a political website. It’s trivial but almost certainly a Russian cyber @tt@ck.

  24. Trump and Biden/Obama have always reversed anything the other set up. Hopefully Trump will reverse Biden’s slow walking of minimal help to Ukraine. Biden has not been a friend to Ukraine. Hopefully Trump will realise Ukraine is incredibly valuable to USA. And act accordingly.

  25. Russian economy is about the same size as Italy. Russia IS NOT an economic giant.

  26. We will soon know if Trump has pulled a 4D chess move.

  27. Much of the real estate market was property nobody had any intention of living in or using in any way. This pyramid led to the tofu cities that are literally falling down.
    2
  28. Trump is playing 4D chess.
    2
  29. About time too. The West has been ridiculously slow. Largely encouraged by weak minded Biden and abetted by EU who do everything at a glacial pace.

  30. The windows of his hotel don’t open. What else was Putin to do?

  31.  @robedwards9486 Ukraine keeps blowing up the distilleries. 😮

  32.  @Paul_Cx Russia is huge and always brutalising its neighbours to extend its land area. None of the others do this.

  33. But Starmer is too scared to deliver what he has left. And that is not much. Most of the stocks are gone.

  34. The incredible similarities between the fascists and communists are no coincidence. They are both forms of top down socialism. The same theology with only subtle differences. They hated each other, because they were all fighting for the same constituents.

  35. Obviously it’s USA and UK and NATO. Russia never ever commits and covers up war crimes.

  36. Yet they still complain Musk is the bad guy.

  37. Finland closed its Russia border and moved in construction and military assets. Russia has no power to invade Finland and the Gins will make them pay a huge price for even trying.

  38. Russia wants to make Ukraine unviable so it becomes another Russian puppet like Belarus. When that happens, the whole of Eastern Europe is at risk.

  39. Norway does not provide power to US. It probably does not sell oil directly to US either.

  40. Trump hit Russian in Syria with 200 Tomahawk missiles. Putin immediately backed out. I suspect Biden has tried to appease Putin just to not do what Trump did. Trump will almost certainly do more of his “same” for Ukraine

  41. But UK is letting in jihadists by the boatload. Why is she any different?

  42. Nobody is smart enough to centrally control an entire country. She will fail. She will blame everyone else. She will go the way of every other dictator.

  43. Trump and Vance should not be so prickly and why are they still choosing to treat Putin like a normal politician.

  44. Hopefully the new fighters will build a genuine government. Hopefully they won’t become another caliphate.

  45. The Russian women at 40:00 is absolutely accurate. I hope she can stay away from high windows.

  46.  @elixier33  You clearly can’t read. She said, “Russians have more freedom even under a dictator”. To be fair, most Russians cannot escape (they can’t get a passport). Few realise just how badly they are used by their own government.

  47. It’s an opticians in Hollywood.

  48. Nobel is a joke. They gifted on to Obama. The man who effectively set up this W.

  49. BBC repeats Russian news reports as facts. They never mention that the narrative is always the same - everything shot down, nobody hurt but damage caused by falling debris. I don’t trust anything BBC says about this w@r.

  50. BBC repeats Russian news reports as facts. They never mention the evidence that proves the original lies. This is at best naive. At worst- you can work it out.
