    They will stop working under President Cornel West who wants to stop supporting Ukraine's counter offensive.

    Better you start siding with Russia like most of the leftists.

    Will Ukraine need to go down to to the local Kiev DMV and get tags for them before they can use them, or is that just an Aussie thing?

    That's pretty cool. And to think, all the stuff that man did and saw, he ended up drowning on a fishing trip. Tragic, but I bet if we could have asked him, that would have been in his top 5 ways to go. I mean die on a fishing trip, or wither away in a bed with cancer? I'm going fishing.

  8. Oh no lie there. And he was asked, and that was his answer.

    He had a lot of stress after the war but he had skills. He had been a biplane barnstormer before the war, (if you know that term or look up images) even before going to the Antarctic with Admiral Byrd. After the war, he moved himself and his family from Dunedin, NZ to Lake Wanaka in New Zealand. With his mechanical skills he had an outboard sales and repair place on the lake, and with his stunt pilot skills he applied that to running a couple float planes for fishing trips. 100% committed to fishing until he died. He liked adventure but had enough of war and returned to a peaceful area as soon as he got a chance. If it took a couple nukes on Japan to speed the process up a bit, well, that was fine. Sooner the better. They were offered a chance to surrender, which was the view at the time and it would have- it was estimated- cost a 100,000 soldiers- to take Japan by invasion.

    Ok. Admittedly I digressed a little and will return to Russia and Ukraine per the thread.

    Did you happen to notice dead center of that graphic .... that Russian fossil fuel export revenues have declined by 60 friggen % lol? Huh? And revenue overall from exports to the EU by 90 friggen %? Huh, huh?

    Noice that China and India are getting a 40 friggen % discount.
