I'm thinking you haven't seen many real-life Americans, then. This would be an appetizer for a lot of us. 😆

Hell, half of ICE agents would see this as a snack.

What happened to your mentions since then? I got retweeted by Malcolm Nance a year or so ago, and that post blew up (by my standards, anyway)

It's funny how things that are desserts in the Old Country (or, Countries) have become breakfast items in the USA. No wonder we're so fat!

It seems Birthday Week Bavovna continued apace. Let's hope it goes today, too.

Ukraine's drones hit the has plant in Orenburg the night before last and the fire looked to have been controlled.

But think again!

A friend of mine celebrates a birthday week, so we can hope.

This isn't necessary. Given the lack of specialization over there, probably every refinery in the country has had Western consultants and equipment providers in it. I know one or two myself. Put out the right feelers, and you can find people with inside knowledge in the private sector in the West.

A country unfriendly to them? That covers a lot of possible territory.

That would have helped get them on our side, sure.

Yeah, that's not sounding good (for Mordor). There's no way that's because they've lost a lot of orders. Demand for power won't have reduced much.

Suddenly there's a lot of space on the rails. And we didn't even really see this in your recent loading thread, IIRC.

I wonder how much of it is due to a bottleneck because of the inability to produce large end products like armor. You can make all the tank and APC shells and frames you want, but it doesn't help if sanctions prevent you from making the parts that make it work.

I think we're getting to the point where you can definitively answer the perpetual question in your loading threads whether it's the economy or rail issues that drive dropping loading...

It's not like the West has been particularly welcoming to them, though.

Again? This shit happened last year, too. The Modi government arrested some recruiters for lying to recruits, and tried to get the suckers, er, victims back.

Like maybe incentivizing customers to prefer rail over road by reserving the dwindling diesel supply for the military and rail?

It's a reasonable risk, consider how milquetoast NATO response to other blatant provocations has been so far. Just like how we encouraged this invasion of Ukraine by our response to the first one.

An outright attack planned by a Muscovite agent on NATO countries, and we'll just shrug and send another strongly worded letter.

Did they try? I always thought those were just make-work to artificially inflate the jobs numbers while they were flush with cash. Basically a WPA for pointless projects.

I don't think we can underestimate the hold the CCP has on the people's minds. There just aren't that many people trying to flee China. Besides, could they? There's a reason Siberia is synonymous with gulags.

And the massive influx of resources would help alleviate the youth unemployment problem.
