    I don't understand that either.
    Lots of things don't make sense.
    Early in the war Putin allegedly wanted Zelensky dead. One would have to think Russia has enough intel to figure out where he's at occasionally. It's not like he's Bin Laden and living in a cave, so why haven't they done a surgical strike on him? Now regarding that, I'm not positive, but I think that goes against some international treaty from way back that Russia is probably a signator on, but when has that ever stopped them?
    I dunno, but part of me thinks there's more to this than we're being told. What that could be and why, I have no idea.

    There's a lot more to many things than we're being told. Speaking of Bin Laden, I didn't want to believe this kind of stuff for a long time, but after digging into it pretty deeply, there are still a lot more questions than answers.

    I don't know about 95 octane, but 92 octane probably won't pollute less without more cars designed to us it:

    I agree, it seems like his conscripts are only dragging out this war and they may never win it, which could stabilize the $

    Aged like milk this one. This will likely involve many millions of soldiers now, Putin has nothing to lose because he doesn't care at all if Russia is a pile of rubble after he's gone. Classic psychopath. There's no strategy left, it's just Vladimir, his ego and his extremist buddies. Russian people are (a)pathetic as usual throughout history, doing nothing about it.

    It's likely the longest range HIMARS are now heading to Ukraine because Ukraine needs to be able to strike Russian troops while they're en-route. The only viable strategy seems to be to decimate Belgorod and nearby military installations. If there's anti-air in place, artillery can just sit and wait.
    I say this as a specialist with hours of Youtube and Civ6 experience.

    I do not know the science behind it but, they had bottles containing the samples of a 95 octane compared to lower 92 octane, 85 octane in our office lobby and you can see how much sludge the lower octane has in the gasoline. That goes into your engine then, when burned results in more dirty emissions. I agree that not all cars can handle the 95 octane. But, shouldn't they be focusing on improving cars to handle 95 octane? Seems a cheaper way than these electric vehicles. I am guessing the batteries of the electric vehicles will at some point fill our landfills and pollute the water we drink on top of it.
