~12,000 reportedly.

Watching CNN news, and they are interviewing a Republican senator, and he’s making the case to sanction Chinese businesses that are helping Russia to back door sanctions.

They also have; higher density housing and one tenth the medium income, which also contribute to lower vehicle ownership. I’m curious if more people in towns and cities live in high density apartment blocks, or older style townhouses, as opposed to single houses on blocks of land.

It was about setting precedent. As the article mentioned, now Russia can just ignore all western intellectual property, and copy what ever they want.

Ok. I’m just going off the reports from yesterday that it was a Russian drone.

lol, if it’s 35 outside, my wife puts the aircon on 27, then puts a jacket on. Genuinely, that’s about the only thing we have “discussions” about.

I actually really appreciate such insights, while it might be a tangent, it still relates back to how sanctions will impact Russia, and potentially bring about the end of the war or downfall of Putin.

That genuinely surprises me.

It was a Russian drone.

Mate, you see them everywhere in real life to. I know personally know a few from school, Uni, social circles.

No sure how much news you read, but yes, sanctioning China is already being discussed for potential sanction busting of various industries. It’s also mentioned in the supposed FSB letters, about why China won’t support Russia in certain areas.

You sound like a QLDer.

Yay numbers!

Moscow has about 13 million people living in a city that is one quarter the size of Melbourne in area. So two and half times the population in one quarter of the area. If the “average” Muscovite had a comparable income to say the average Melbournian, their city would be in a permanent state of...

Cuba survived because they were supplied by the old Soviet Union, Vietnam and China. If you read the whole Russian Economy thread, you’d understand the “old ways” no longer exist in the new Russia (and China) because they’ve integrated their industries in to the western chain of supply. As...

Let’s see, Morrison held off starting his first lockdown, which he announced on a Thursday or Friday (can’t remember which), until the following Monday, so that his church could finish holding their super rally weekend. And that’s the easy one for me to highlight. I’m sure if you went in to...

The food they stripped from the stores before the Russians get there.

Yeah I am aware, the actual problem they have, is not enough guns for them. A lot are training with wooden replicas.

Something else the Ukrainians should be considering is a scorched earth policy in regards to grocery stores, supermarkets, service stations etc, in occupied areas. Don’t leave anything in the way of food or fuel for the Russians to loot. Apparently a lot of the Russian shortages are because...

I don’t sorry. I wondered that myself. It was an interesting discussion to follow, in that it appears Putin has forgotten about all the lying, stealing, and overestimating/embellishing that he used to be a part of, when he was in the KGB and coming up the political ranks. That he believed any...

They mostly vote Green.

Again, I’ll admit that I haven’t read everything posted since I got off last night. I’m 4 hours behind of Sydney/Melbourne time. So I’m following stuff on Twitter and CNN long after most of you have gone to bed. Last night, it was reported that one of the FSB arrests were made because said...

There’s a couple of layers to this. Poland didn’t want to be seen directly arming Ukraine with fighter jets. So they wanted to “gift” the planes to the US, who would then hand them to Ukraine. The pentagon said they recommended against the polish planes, as Ukraine still has 56 operational...

I’m curious what you believe the average Russian income is? It’s probably only the top 10% who can afford everything you listed. When a country has 150 million people, and you see similar amounts of cars and nicely dressed people, that what we see in Australia, it’s easy to believe they have...

News flash, that’s misinformation garbage that’s spouted and perpetuated by the right. First, Jewish Bankers and Zionists ruling political parties from the shadows is a QAnon, right wing conspiracy. That’s not a leftie conspiracy. My family are hardcore lefties, paid up Labor and unionists...

I was reading yesterday’s Pentagon briefing, and it mentioned that Russian losses represented about 10% of the troops and equipment that was arrayed outside Ukraine before the invasion. It also mentioned Ukrainian losses were slightly less that 10% (I inferred somewhere between 8% and 9%), from...

They reportedly sent in 180k to 190k troops. 10% casualties would be 18k+.
