Interesting and pretty obvious for anyone with technological understanding of how far behind Russia is technologically and obviously China not assisting in anyway and likely siting on the sideline during Russia's failures licking their lips.

EDIT: On a side note off topic he needs to quit smoking lol.

I'd guess the State Dept would be almost glad if China started sending weapons to Russia later.
(Extremely telling for the state of Russia, and a wonderful opportunity to see Chinese weapons in action)

He smokes?

He just did another vid "The Jones Act and American Economic Development"

Its an interesting one, though few people are talking about it, round here.

China will not assist Russia.

They are concurents in weapons export markets.

Yeah, China loves cheap fuel and commodities.

Initially they maybe were statisfied with situation:
Sanctioned Russia selling them fuel and commodities with huge discounts.

However: China wants to be hegemony....above Russia.
Next: China is concurrent vs Russia who will have Kazahstan and Uzbeksitan....under their will.

Last nail in coffin: high living expenses and concerns about future are reducing mainstream customers spendings on chinesse crap....and this is stuff China is selling to U.S, Canadian, U.K and Australian markets, U.K, EU/ EEZ....
Also they need Canada and Australia as commodities suppliers.....and a lot of other countries in europe as tech suppliers....
They even are buying substrates for agriculture from EU. The same Baltic countries.

He has a very dry cough:
Medical explaination:
People who smoke often develop a cough. This cough is caused by the body clearing out the chemicals that enter the airways and lungs through tobacco use. If the cough is persistent, lasting for more than 3 weeks, it is known as smoker's cough. While the cough may begin as a dry cough, it can eventually produce phlegm.

Oh I have tons of friends in the engineering world who smoke like chimneys who cough like that everyday and are likely heading to more serious health complications such as COPD cough serious health issues.

"COPD can cause your lungs to produce excess mucus, leading to frequent coughing. Not all coughs are effective in clearing excess mucus from the lungs. Explosive or uncontrolled coughing causes airways to collapse and spasm, trapping mucus"

End though you could never convince them to stop many polish and even former residence of "Eastern Europe and Chinese". <--- LOL super hard workers and really intelligent but hooked on cigs.

What if its just Allergies?

I am not going to completely say he doesn't have other causes but seems to have things that lead me to believe there is some evidence point to it. His voice sounds similar to someone who smokes a little gravelly and with the dry cough don't usually hear that with allergy sufferers but as I said before could be wrong.

Yeah, I'm not onboard with punishing family members for the crimes of their relatives. That is how you end up with generations being locked in death camps in North Korea due to crimes committed by their father or grandfather.

It is a horrible moral mistake to make as a society. The children are not responsible for the sins of the father.

Ok. i am not onboard that either.

But how does not being on board that make what Putin is doing, in empowering his worst generals to wage campaigns of rape, terror and murder of innocent civilians (including children) in combat zones, better?

I don't get why you uplift Putin to make a point about something else?

i rank murdering and raping innocents as worse than stealing from them.

Once again it was a joke. Learn how to read.

And even if I was being serious you are way off with your comparison. Talking about North Korea, why?

If a Western European country locked up Putin's GF and her kids they'd most likely be in some 5 star hotel and they'd be very well treated. Compare that to the awful conditions in russian prisons including the organised rape blackmail schemes that russian citizens suffer under Putin's regime. Seriously.

Do you think that only western euros are civilized?
For example the same Poland, Baltic countries and Finland are central euro or north euro.

The same even illegal immigrants, not alone refugees are entitled to get free heating in rooms, showers, hot water.... electricity...food.
In some cases it is the same stuff NATO soldiers are eating.

Ofc.....

In some wealthy Saudi or proper Iran anyone might get his head in the box in 1 day.

I didn't see anywhere in my post where I was uplifting Putin. You need to read it again.

 

[SandisLL]

Prison term longer than 10 years and property confiscation for tweet ....damn.
Capital punishment for suff like in U.K or U.S or Finland, Baltic countries or France you will get most likely some years suspended sentence.....if will behave well, will walk around...
Saudi, Iran are different worlds.

Russia?
Till 15 years prison term if will call as a war stuff in Ukr...

Ya you did. When you suggest it is worse than Russia you are making a comparison that what is going on with Putin's Russia is less bad. the reality is that what is going on with Russia is way worse.

 

[Denter]

lol worse than Putin?? Are you serious, his troops are raping, murdering and torturing innocent people in their ten's of thousands. Russian troops have been seen executing Ukrainian children, lining them up in the street and shooting them in the head. Russian troops are wholescale lotting and stealing Ukrainians property. And these aren't rich Ukrainians. But you are concerned about locking up his kids, seriously?

Anyway it was a fucking joke, but even if it wasn't it would actually be good move. As I said he's not going to nuke Europe if he will wipe out his family is he?

lol this is your brain on propaganda.

 

[SandisLL]

Guys here, if you are from europe and have " market tariff " tied to Nordpool " market" price...

I will post this in war thread because pro kremlin propaganda will use this stuff as " sanctions " reverse effect while reasons will be different.....

Finland's business had failed with new reactor.
It most likely will not reach full power to grid in december.
Initially this year appeared problems with turbines....
Now with water pumps.
While reactor looks that is fine.

Will be delays .
This will increase prices in Nordpool.
Sweden. One reactor will not be online again as had been excepted. Most likely will be in 2023th.
Estonia: might rise production but " oil shale is bad Urzula ".
Latvia: water level in rivers isn't as high as usually in this time... They are able to compensate this for local customers and even replace NG with diesel in some power plants but this will be expensive ...or use very expensive NG....
Lithuania : aporox the same and sadly wind isn't enough strong too....
Another energy source they might use is U.S LNG....
Or fuel oil.
Germany and Co most likely will increase demand and appeared that Ukr had exported electricity to europe....and now this will not happen at least this week...

___
Prices most likely will go up ...this week.

 

[SandisLL]

While if about potential that China might send weapons to Russia it is almost excluded.
They even wants to get Turkey as one from their main weapons sales customers.

China managed to get that pro Kremlin fanatics in Serbia had bought Chinesse SAM battery instead of S-300 latest export version or S-400.
This even was signed before Russia invaded Ukr....

So imagine?

Whooops

The outrage over Iranian drones is one I haven’t been feeling though. They’ve been our enemy and an ally to Russia for a while now. I view it as the same thing as us supporting Ukraine.

In al seriousness too, if their government doesn’t collapse from the internal pressure, it wouldn’t surprise me if we ended up at war with Iran sometime in the next 20 years.
