The Russians know that the Rattenkrieg is going to take too long and have to shift their attention of the offensive in the Donbass. I wouldn't be surprised that ammo, supplies,... could sneak through by helicopter or small groups of infantry.

The Russian art of bribery must be stronk.

 

In cold, desolate Russia, what could the citizens want in life? Creature comforts, a big bag of money to make the cold, dark days less miserable. They didn't need war propaganda because soldiers are motivated by offering a condo, a new car and a bag of money. Losing a son isn't a problem if you throw enough Rubles at the mother. In poorer societies, children are an economic resource and a tradable commodity the parents could sell in bad times. It's telling that the Russian army is filled with minorities and provincial poors who are looting frying pans, children's toys, underwear, toilets, washing machines,...

This war hitting the economy way harder than Covid did

Posting any or even attempting to view any tweet here is just brutal. 503 may be gone but the speed is at late 90's dial-up practically. Sigh.

Let's wait and see.

They said the same thing for COVID and we were by far the safest continent.

The WHO excess death report confirms it.

 

From what I read, the middle East are the ones dependent on Russian & Ukrainian wheat.

Maybe some of the Maghreb countries...

The one African country people are worry about is Nigeria because they did get most of their wheat from Russia.

Legacy

The song became associated with the Revolutions of 1989 and the Fall of the Berlin Wall also in 1989 and was performed by the Scorpions at the Brandenburg Gate on 9 November 1999, during the 10th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall.^[22][23] In 2005, viewers of the German television network ZDF chose this song as the song of the century.^[7] "Wind of Change" is featured in the films In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2007), Gentlemen Broncos (2009), The Interview (2014), and Love Island (2014), and the video game SingStar Rocks! (2006). The song can be heard in the opening scene of the action comedy film The Spy Who Dumped Me (2018).

Drill baby drill, frack like there is no tomorrow:

 

 

 

Moar! Moar! Moar!

 

 

 

They can't send it to China because the corruption ensured that the pipeline to China has been designed to be 5 times more expensive to run than a normal design. The contractors of a certain oligarch need to suck state owned companies dry. Sending tankers around Europe, Africa,... is a long way to China.

Not just repairing the damaged ones, there are out of service planes stripped for spare parts, mothballed planes,... that could be refurbished. Or is it like an IKEA building kit that could be multiple boxes from different aisles?

A thread explaining combined arms:

 

 

 

Russian culture is all about stomping out individuality, human dignity, self-worth,... and replace it by the belonging to the collective like zombies chanting the same word/phrase over and over again, assimilate and "upgrade" people by making them to think, act, behave, speak,... the Russian way like the Borg Collective.

 

The Ukrainians have always looked at the Russian cultural desire to convert everyone into mindless zombies as something disgusting that should be mocked. In Ukraine power of a Tsar should be limited in a constitutional way and electing priests was the norm in Ukraine, in the past the churches were the primary information source of the masses and the locals should be able to influence who is going to select the information and feed it to the masses.

 

The Z-War is inevitable in Russian culture because they have to destroy Ukraine as the abnormality standing in their way and thwarting their thirst for uniformity, assimilation,... and "upgrading" people to the Russian way.

 

Explained in long thread:

 

 

They can't stand that an alliance of many different nationalities/cultures could actually work.
