Author's from a metals exchange it says.. Those feckers are always down low trying to convince everyone that the world's about to crash and that the only way folks can protect their hard-earned is by buying gold or silver. More of a not very subtle covert advert than a serious analysis.

I miss the winter sledging on the hillside near where I grew up in the 70s. Used to get snowed in at least once most winters and have two or three weeks good sledging. Keep promising to take my youngest up to the long slope on the golf course. Last few years been lucky to see a couple days and even...

Aussie dude Willy citing what he describes as a significant level source on the ground that he knows personally - on the Ukrainian side - talking about the Ukrainian misuse of elite troops in infantry roles in critical front areas and how the Russians have learned and adapted whilst the Ukrainians ...Prince Madison likes this.

I think it's exceptionally unlikely that a fighter regularly weighing sub 200 on fight day would get close to a HW title fight TBH but I guess it is at least theoretically possible. And no, I don't get the reference, if you'd be kind enough to share... I'd look it up but I'd appreciate if you save...

Spot on. Maintaining a vastly outsize military isn't just for ****s and giggles... the US - or rather US businesses (and to a lesser extent those of their allies) gain vast profits through the preferential access to global resources and markets that is upheld and enforced by the implicit threat of overwhelming...Marchegiano likes this.

There's no rules aginst fighters lighter than 200Lbs competing at Heavy, it's just that they'd be undersized. Think about it this way, even most elite Light-Heavies rehydrate up to the high 180s or even low 190s and almost certainly walk around at 200+. Almsost all cruisers are really smallish heavyweight...kafkod likes this.

Estimates of UA dead were 70k last August at the height of the offensive, and 20-30k in April 4 months earlier so climbing at as much as 10k a month (300+ per day). Sound high? Even currently UA command recently acknowledged 100-200 dead per day and that's whilst on the defensive and assuming it isn't...

https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/17/p...ill/index.html Bit slippery really. Sold as $61 bil for UA but actually only $14 bil in direct aid with 10 of that 14 repayable (improbable) 23 bil for the yanks to replenish their own stockpiles, and 11 bil for Yankish operations in the region. Which leave...Kris Silver likes this.

Another Blyatmobile on the roll in Krasnohorivka.. damn those things look ungainly but it seems like they serve their purpose. Nice piece of field improv. Russian turtle tank - yes, the type everyone laughed about - transporting Russian invasion forces to central Western Krasnohorivka under intense Ukr...

Be speculation at this point but it's hard to see anything much positive for Ukraine right now. Way it looks to me with the manpower and morale situation even if they get a big injection of cash / materiel it's debatable how much difference it'll make... but war is funny like that. Lot can happen in...

Mmm. Much as expected, continued steady progress from the Russkies... Southern Krasnohorivka under attack, further advancements along the railway line North of Avdiivka. Russkies taking a few more Km2 every day in the East. Things ain't looking good for Ukraine. Ukraine still holding on around Robo...

Tell me about it, I've wasted whole days chatting **** on here and chasing up declassified documents or checking the specs of military equpment or researching the methodology behind casualty figures or such bullchit. Ah well. Did just manage to get my assignment handed in at 7 minutes to the midnigh...

Fuck's sake. I'm suppossed to be writing an assignment on Adolescent Development Theory due in tomorrow. Studying up on Freud, Erikson and Piaget. Some reason I can write for hours on geopolitics and all manner of **** which has zero bearing on my life, but it comes down to something actually matters...

Interesting situation there.. you know that several of the Azeri military actions have coincided pretty closely with Russian reverses or Ukrainian offensives? Think I posted about it a few times back in late 22 and early 23. Point is to stretch Russian resources so they have to renege on their security...

Now that one's a blast from the past, over two years old that post. Got that one pretty wrong on two counts. First thing was whilst I did understand that Russia was then a lot less militarily capable than most folks seemed to think I didn't know how extensively the US and UK had armed and helped prepare...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...oil_production Well for one that's just factually wrong if you're talking about oil supply since the US produces something like 15% of the world's oil all on it's lonesome even without Western hemisphere nations like Canada, Mexico, Brazil or Norway. The US is t...Dr. Z likes this.
