    Anyone think he is going to touch the Russian oil to India? Or India selling Russian oil products to us?

    No mention of the Polish border blockade stopping trucks and rail though? Nope it is Republicans fault. In the EU news they are blaming Polish farmers and truckers,as they have been blockading even railways. There have been very few road crossings even open since November through Poland....yet "Republicans"
    You know what's the first casualty of war

    Guess which country is going to suddenly have a surplus of aluminium to sell us at higher prices? India would be my guess(we already buy 20%-38% from China).

    This post is from a Washington Post article that was put up on 2/22/2024, and taken down a few hours later. It was archived by archivetoday, I will post that link.

    "The war remains an active and bountiful research opportunity for American military planners as they look to the future, officials say."

    “We immersed them in this conflict to make sure they were really understanding the implications for warfare,”*(the 20 US officers who did the 1 year study)* said a senior defense official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the initiative.
    The “character of war” is changing, another official said, and the lessons taken from Ukraine stand to be “an enduring resource.”


    Fairly well expresses the opinion of many in the government I think.

    Over in the EU, the reason they are trying to raise money for war bonds is much darker than it appears. It is to gain total control of the member states, and to move to EU control of NATO and trade against the US dollar. EU unelected bureaucrats want more power. If they get the war bonds it lets them tax every country in the EU.
    Imagine a central government with the power to tax, but with no elected officials and no recourse for member states or citizens. That is the goal with war bonds.

    You did not mention the Ukrainian anti retreat line, but the original poster did. It is a Syrsky strategy. Kill them if they try to retreat. He apparently did the same during the battle of Bakhmut. The following story is about the planned withdraw by Zaluzhny from Avdiivka vs what happened after Syrsky was given command by Zelensky. Any idea of an organized retreat was scrapped and reinforcements sent in. Over 1k of which were killed in the staging area of Selydove by missiles. Chaos and death followed. Within 5 days the city of Avdiivka was lost and Syrsky ordered the retreat long after it was to late.

    The amount of chemicals that India sells to the US that we used to make gets bigger every day. I would have thought that after Bhopal they would have put the brakes on, but now a lot of stuff that we use every day is no longer made here.

    Simple things like BAC-50 and Permethrin that Americans use everyday.

    "Today, however, Kyrylo Budanov, the head of Ukraine's GUR military intelligence service, suggested his death could be down to natural causes.

    He told reporters: 'I may disappoint you, but what we know is that he really died from a blood clot. And this is more or less confirmed but, unfortunately, a natural [death]."

    Big blow to propaganda everywhere in the west. Wonder why the CIA is softening the message? Peace deal in the works?
