Quote HistoryQuoted: The Russians don't even have to use them. Just deploy them and it would chill things out for them quickly. It's my understanding they have deployed tactical nukes - evening arming Belarus with them on SU-37s (34s?). The whole shit-show over there makes me nervous. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Gotta admit, I think this is the stage of the war where tactical nuke usage is most likely. An unexpected and undeniable crumbling of Russian forces and may cause the “higher ups” to want to teach the world a lesson. Basically, akin to an abusive husband that got caught and says “ if I can’t have her, then no one will”. I think that a gradual war where the Russians slowly lost interest would have made this scenario less likely. As things stand it seems they are more prone to making a cataclysmic mistake that permanently changes precedent in warfare. That’s what I'm afraid of more than anything. Having said that, I’m smiling this morning knowing that Ukrainian towns and people are being liberated. It just gives me pause…. I think that comes down to Crimea. Without it Russia’s ability to control the Black Sea harms their ability to work in the Mediterranean but the real harm comes from the loss of the Ukrainian industry that historically provided most ship, tank and jet engines as well as a myriad of other items for the military from the Soviet days to before the war via trade deals. I suspected that’s a large reason why Russia has such a hard time bringing the T14 tank and SU-57 into mass production. After this war there is zero chance Ukraine will make any deals to help the Russians out. I don’t think Russia can develop that capacity or it would have done so after the fall of the USSR. There was a reason why Russia was so hesitant to target these facilities and that’s because they thought they would be capturing them eventually. That seems clearly out of the realm of possible for them listening to their media. Russians are a paranoid people. If they feel the south is open to invasion or just trying to save Crimea they might do something dumb. |

You win wars by making the other side so scared they abandon entire companies of vehicles. Our investment is paying off  Not sure if this a joke or not. It isn't a joke. When you see the whole "another $600 million of aid" do you think they're sending pallets of cash? It doesn’t have to be cash for politicians to get their kickbacks. The money doesn’t have to leave the country for politicians to get kickbacks. Except he was under the impression we are sending pallets of cash to Ukraine, which is incorrect. We are sending money to pay for the Ukrainian government to pay the people. Not direct pallets of cash but large influxes of direct deposits. There might be some pallets but I doubt it You’d be surprised. We literally gave out pallets of cash in Iraq and Afghanistan. The main purpose of that is to encourage those areas to use our petro dollar propping us up geopolitically. That cash eventually gets into many peoples hands softening them a bit to us if they want that paper to have value. Those pallets are nothing compared to the digital Monopoly money we are flooding around the globe or subsidizing countries for US manufacturing deals. |

Quote HistoryQuote HistoryThe Germans are trying to avoid shipments of LNG from the USA. It is not working out for them. USA is shipping LNG to Europe faster than it can be unloaded. “Germany, the biggest buyer of Russian gas in the EU, is building several LNG import facilities, its first, despite its goal of abandoning fossil-fueled power by 2035. It usually takes several years to obtain the permits and billions of euros in financing necessary to construct such terminals. Germany temporarily authorized an acceleration of the approval process and expects the first two to be up and running this winter. Both are ship-borne floating terminals that can be put into operation in a matter of months. The Netherlands was also expanding its import capacity, with plans to add two floating units in September. To move gas from the coastal import terminals to demand centers elsewhere, new pipelines are being laid.” |

Which probably means that OBL wasn't really what the media propaganda led us to believe. Or he was under the control of the CIA by then and was being used as a pawn. For all we know the Pakis brokered his capture with us. They saw Al-queda and the Taliban as tools to be used against India. There is ample evidence that elements of the ISI directed the Mumbai terrorist attacks. ISI is balls deep in the Haqqani network. I gotta think that ISI knew we were sniffing around UBL. It was a big effort in an area well resourced by the Pakistani government. Doing anything about it would make denying awareness of UBLs presence tough to do however. |

So is it even reasonable in 2025 for Germany to have a fully functional economy...or are they well and truly fucked? I think they're pretty fucked in the short term either way. By 2025 all Russian gas has the ability to be replaced. At max the nordstream had the ability to ship about 55 billion M3/A of natural gas. Rough conversion, but a 135,000 gallon lng ship holds about 310,000 m3/a of cng. Given, they didn’t need the full nordstream flow either. But that would be 170,000ish loads of LNG needed. Not a realistic number of cargos to off load. Or to load. Or at all. There are also other pipelines flowing into Europe. But transmission across Europe can be dicey. Given Europe never got the full discharge amount of the nordstream either. I don’t have the figures handy for the actual discharge rate. It’s not going to be “one” solution. It’s going to be a mix of a lot of solutions. Supposedly German storage is already 80% full. Some added lng shipments. Added cng from other places. They’ll make it through the winter. Build up other methods of gas in 2023. They’ll get stretched but it seems they’ll be okay. |

Kids should be in stable situations and focused on school. Im just irritated because much of everything that happened could have been mitigated years ago by not relying on Russia OR the Mideast. That’s a bright spot for Israel if they can benefit from Leviathan. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I'm still foggy on whether LNG is really a viable replacement for CNG pipelines. I want to say it isn't but I just don't have a feel for the scale. For example..1 LNG tanker replaces how many hours or days of flow from Nordstream1? So is it even reasonable in 2025 for Germany to have a fully functional economy...or are they well and truly fucked? I think they're pretty fucked in the short term either way. I peppered my brother as he was packing for an upcoming trip to Houston and he just became more irritated, mumbled something about Biden and walked off to pick up a package. I got the impression to let the conversation go at that point. Seemed like it was all a day late and a dollar short. So this winter will be a challenge, which is why I posted the refugee article.

Shipping has to Jordan and Egypt makes friendly neighbors Other countries that were exporting there can redirect to Europe. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Israel is pulling huge benefits in from Leviathan. Shipping has to Jordan and Egypt makes friendly neighbors Other countries that were exporting there can redirect to Europe. From my laymen’s understanding Germany doesn’t want to commit to the 20 year long term contracts and that’s aggravated Canada, Qatar and US sellers. Guessing due to their climate change mentality? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Who threw us out? But we got "thrown" out in the sense that we could not fully defeat the North Vietnamese with our tactics and strategy so we declared "Peace with Honor" to assuage our egos and left. Then after abandoning them to their fates the South Vietnamese government, upon which we had lavished billions of dollars in weapons, training, and economic aid, got "thrown" out. Continuing to pretend some 50 years later that somehow the Viet Nam War was not a humiliating defeat of US power is a really bad look. |
