I didnt swerve it you failed to read, again, as well as ignoring my questions about who produces the processors for China's smartphones and laptops and tvs - and why thats the case if their high tech industry is so great. You dont need to know anything that isnt in the public domain, you simply need to read technical trade publications in addition to mainstream media

No apparently Russia will win because other countries will smuggle fuel to them

Exactly. China wont do it because they have too much to lose. Thats why Russia is reduced to sourcing whatever it can from Iran and North korea - who both have very little of other trade to lose.

Dont try and mitgate your ignorance by denigrating others.

Nope. I dont make claims that Im not absolutely sure are true and accurate. The problem is you dont read the threads and simply jump in half baked.

You think because China makes lots of electronics they make and design the chips? Whose chips are in the smartphones they make? Whose chips are in the laptops and tvs? They are nearly all made under licence from British and American companies. They are nothing more than contractors. Break the IP and export restrictions and they lose their manfacturing base to Vietnam, Thailand and India. https://asiatimes.com/2022/08/russias-chips-failure-coming-home-to-roost/ https://mezha.media/en/2022/06/02/processors-with-a-frequency-not-exceeding-25-mhz-russia-and-belarus-go-back-to-the-1990s/ https://www.theregister.com/2022/06/06/taiwan_chips_russia/

Its really old tech. Like equipping your missiles with an Intel pentium c1995. Its not just processor power though - its lack of accurate GPS, lack of satellite correction. They often use ground contouring but lack the ability to update it, so everytime a new bulding goes up the missile gets confused. You saw that video of supposedly high tech Kalibr missiles. Old US HIMARS missiles land within a 5m radius 95% of the time. Latest Russian kalibrs land within a claimed 50m radius but in reality it seems to be a 500m radius - ie they miss by hundreds of metres mostly .

Belarus. But its really old tech. Like equipping your missiles with an Intel pentium c1995

Erm. China Iran and others dont have them, dont make them. High tech chips are produced almost solely by the US, Japan, Taiwan, Britian and the Netherlends. The scramble by Russia to find some kinds of alternatives on world markets is well documented.

How many missiles can a superpower with an economy smaller than Italy's afford?

Ah. Got to love The Duran and the two Alex(es). They brought us such book gems as "Adam Schiff’s Ukrainegate Circus & The Testimony of Deep State Clowns" and "Russiagate: The Deep State Coup & AG Barr to the Rescue" but my personal favourite is the book which charts " the meteoric rise of Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party" https://drnshop.com/product-category/ebooks/

These are Kalibr missiles. Ther most recent and most accurate of the Russian missiles. That power station in Kyiv is fucking huge. Both missed. The Russians are evil and vindictive. Thank God there are also mostly useless. Thats why they hit a lot of housing, fire and hope.

Did you see the ferry? It made the Cowes ferry look huge

Fixed

Why do the free thinkers all trot out the same conspiracy theory whilst the sheeple have a massive range of opinion?

Exactly. Disrupting the enemies ability to fight is the great leveller and ecan enable a smaller force to beat a bigger one. Having 2,000 tanks against 200 and 10,000 artillery against 1,000 is no advantage if the bigger forces tanks and artillery have no fuel or ammo

Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! Russian President Vladimir Putin learned about the explosion on the Crimean bridge, followed by a partial collapse and fire on the railway part of this bridge, about 20 minutes after the incident. Putin was awakened and told the most unpleasant news. The president received reports on what was happening for several hours until a more or less clear picture was determined. The version that the explosion on the bridge was “the work of the Ukrainian special services” was the main one from the very beginning, but it immediately became clear that without the assistance (or criminal negligence, which is not clearer) of the Russian special services, the matter could not have done. In mid-September, FSB director Alexander Bortnikov addressed the president with an urgent proposal to agree on the replacement of the leadership of several services and departments of the FSB. Bortnikov made the main emphasis on problems with the leadership of the second service of the FSB, the CIB of the FSB, and the leadership of several territorial departments. Bortnikov also reported a high level of terrorist threat in several subjects. Putin then postponed the adoption of a decision on coordination, apparently based on some of his own reasons, agreeing only to minor rotations in the FSB CIB. A few days before the incident on the Crimean bridge, Nikolai Patrushev, Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, during a visit to Crimea, said that local authorities should increase the level of countering terrorism. The same proposal was formulated to Putin and Patrushev supported Bortnikov, reminding Putin of the need to resolve pressing personnel issues in the FSB. Putin then recommended Patrushev to make specific proposals, to which Patrushev replied that the proposals had been formulated for a long time and were awaiting consideration by the president, Putin promised to sort it out soon. The President received reports that indicated several people from the leadership of the FSB and the National Guard who could take part in organizing and preparing the explosion on the Crimean bridge. In particular, they directly point to the possible involvement of Alexei Zhalo, deputy head of the Second FSB Service. The last thing Putin wants now is to look for enemies within the system. The strike on the Crimean bridge, as a symbol of his geopolitical claims, worries him only in the light of his “debunking” as a “collector of Russian lands.” If you openly define the enemies within the system who encroached on the main symbol of his success, then this means signing the collapse of the system and regime. Putin's system can be exclusively monolithic. The situation is also the same with the “response to the Ukrainian terrorists”, which was reported to Putin by the progressive senile chairman of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin. Bastrykin himself was given the text shortly before the meeting with the president, and he simply repeated what he remembered and how he could. Putin is expected to react and he decides what to do. Last night, the permanent members of the Security Council of the Russian Federation received warnings that the meeting could be held at any time and even at night, they had to be ready to either arrive at the meeting venue or go on air via video link. Putin has been probing the waters by video chatting with several members of the Security Council to see if they are ready to support the president's proposal for the use of tactical nuclear weapons. The proposal should have been formulated in such a way that it does not mean the immediate use of nuclear weapons, but only confirms, gives consent (in the person of the permanent members of the Security Council) to the possibility of using it at any time in the event of an aggravation of the situation. And Putin was going to raise this question during the meeting of the Security Council only if all the participants in the meeting, without exception, were ready to give a positive answer. Show the next red lines and make it clear that there will be a blow next. But according to our information, among the permanent members of the Security Council there were people who, at the stage of discussion with the president of this possibility, expressed their doubts. Putin needs to answer, but the options between "very bad," vague, and "nuclear" are bringing the president closer to the end of his reign much faster than even before the explosion on the Crimean bridge could have been imagined.

Exactly. They have been under threat from Russia since 2003 and have already seen parts of thier country invaded and parts of their neighbours invaded. They are used to it and developed the psychology necessary to fight because the other option is to be destroyed.

Russian speakng Kupyansk, in the far East of Ukraine right by the Russian border. Odd Manji, they dont seem very pro Russian

Ah okay. Not sure why not . Here’s a screenshot of the page

That Duckhunter was wrong about Toy MPs choosing the leader and that it was democratic . Would have thought that was pretty clear

Even his friends are admitting he was off his face on a combination of prescription drugs and alcohol. Mel B o Spice Girls also accused him of ‘something’ during the conference . Who knows what else how did. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/politics/2022/oct/08/mel-b-tweets-sacked-tory-minister-conor-burns-about-lift-incident

Thats only a policy for saps though. You can get economic growth by opening up sweatshops paying £3ph to imported labour - but it doesnt actually benefit the country in any way because you have higher social costs than the wealth generated. Depends whether you want to fool people that your growth policy is working or whether you want to improve the incomes and wellbeing of existing residents
