There were still plenty. My brother worked in Uzbekistan about 10years ago building motorways that were mostly used by US troops on route to Afghanistan.

Can't find any articles now but I remember large convoys leaving from EU through Ukraine and Russia on the way to Afghanistan. Think it was mainly weapons and ammunitions that were airlifted and most of other stuff went by rail or road.

Yeah - a lot of the US presence in the ME (or towards Asia like Afghanistan) is supported by large lorry convoys, often moving at night, long distance. But generally the West has a very different logistic requirement and approach to organising it compared to Russia.

Any tank can get destroyed like that. It happens with a penetrating hit hitting the ammo rack and turning 20 shells into to one great big bang.

Blow out panels or not no one survives an ammo rack explosion.

Yet they do, go figure, easy to Google and find.

Russian designs for thier ammo stowage are rubbish and usually always lead to cook offs.

I decided to read up a bit on the history of Ukraine and the "bloodlands". What's interesting is the suffering that Ukraine underwent when part of the Soviet Union particularly under Stalin. Collectivisation in the late 20's and 30's brought starvation and expulsion to millions of Ukrainians. Literally millions of people died and Stalin and his communist party blamed the famine and deaths on forces within Ukraine who were desperate to prove that communism didn't work and therefore were prepared to die in starvation to prove it. Grain requisitions targets were progressively increased and even demanded that "seed " grain was surrendered further perpetuating famine, death and cannibalism. At the same time Stalin was de=populating Ukraine Hitler was eyeing it as the future way of feeding the German expansion that he was planning through the 30's. WWII then proceeded to see the country battled over and used to host a number of extermination camps.
It's a horrific fairly recent history but also shows how the culture of oppression and genocide implemented by Hitler and Stalin has echoes in the current Russian rhetoric and how the state places little or no value on its citizens. Distressingly it will likely be the citizens of other poorer nations who are reliant on Ukrainian agricultural exports who will be drive towards starvation this time.

Yeah, it was called the Holodomor. Stalin was a real sadist he loved seeing people suffer, after he had people tortured to death he wanted to know every detail of how they died, the last words they uttered and what they were thinking, he once said "one death is a tragedy, millions are a statistic". His inner circle were all sadists, rapists and paedophiles. There's a good book on this - The Court of the Red Tsar. It beggars belief what some people are capable of.

So as normal your wrong

They are planning to massively reduce their reliance during 2022.
I suspect events may well overtake them, but that may or may not happen
As everyone knows its a weird relationship in regards Russian gas and oil

Nations have been trying to get OPEC to raise output so that its easier to switch supply

You have come off gas?
Good news, once its out of your system you may be able to think more clearly ;)

I bet germany doesn't do jack until 2026.
Action is louder than words. Which germany use a lot(words that is).

The US could produce loads more if biden would just let them.
No keystone pipeline and texas and north and south dakota has not sped up output.

All electric now. And my vehicle is ;)

Not when it literally detracts a chunk of your countries young men and creates a socio-cultural bottleneck that drags your country down, Russia for whatever reason still doesn't acknowledge this for after multiple episodes.

Odd really.

So you’re telling me that you don’t have heating nor hot water as of the Ukraine Russian war. Over ‘gas’ even though we use hardly any Russian supplied gas?

*cough*

I heard our water companies still use Russian rainfall.

They are already looking at LNG provision being built (liquified natural gas, basically what is done to export/import natural gas)

The right move was to reduce supply of oil and gas in the US. I suspect if the Russia situation carries on he may well reverse some of that.
No point pressuring OPEC and not taking some of the benefit in the US.

You know that switching to Elec means in effect a chunk of your electric is just having to be gas burned elsewhere to generate your electric right?
You just moved your marginal gas consumption elsewhere.

Would be useful to just post the video where you got almost all of that from?

Everything OK d? You have been very grumpy of late.

I actually prefer reading resources than watching awful YouTube videos. Most of which are just filler and begging for subscribers. Text is often a lot more concise I find.

Didn't mean to come across like a dick but almost word for word the post was covered in a great video which I can't put my hands on. It was a fun watch. Pictures of army trains and all sorts.

I bought a electric heater for water. I use a shower twice a day.
Microwave and halogen oven for food.
All this started years ago. I'm the kind of person that won't get ripped off.
I find other ways.
