More and more strange explosions happen in Russia. A paint factory exploded and somewhere else a big gas storage exploded. The number of recruitment centers that are attacked are now countless. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MXKGaeBEn8g
I was chatting with a Romanian mechanic and he had an interesting view that the demographics of Russia with people now having significantly less than 2 children because they can't afford it meant it was now or never for Putin. In another few years, the young will be too burdened by the weight of the elderly. Everybody over 50 who he says are the only competent workers in Russia having come up under the old educational and apprenticeship system are getting too old for war. His view as a mechanic is that after the fall of the USSR everything went to shit and the overall competence of workers is evident in the dreadful quality of the military personnel. As Russian men age badly and die young siento bad healthcare the country would have been entirely incapable of waging a war in 5-10 years due to insufficient skilled workers.
Ah, so that made all the killing worth it, then! Mass killing is worth it when authorized by the UN. Spoken like a true statist!
Ukraine's "Kill the Vichy" program is off to a good start... Russian Proxy Leader Hurt in Attempted Hit as Ukrainian Partisans Vow Revenge While Russia has tightened its grip on the Kherson region since declaring a full takeover, ordinary Ukrainians have refused to surrender quietly. https://www.thedailybeast.com/russi...empted-hit-as-ukrainian-partisans-vow-revenge
Just when the Russians thought it couldn't get any worse in the Ukraine, Ukrainian goats decide to join the fray. Goat accidentally neutralises several invaders in Zaporizhzhia Oblast https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/06/20/7353684/ A nanny goat has injured several Russian servicemen by triggering their tripwires with pinned grenades in the village of Kinski Rozdory in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Ukraine’s Chief Intelligence Directorate has shared a curious incident that happened at a local hospital. A total of 40 invaders have been stationed at the medical institution in Kinski Rozdory. The Russian military installed a "circular defence" and placed tripwires around the perimeter of the hospital. The aggressors regretted this decision after a goat from a neighbouring farm decided to pay a visit to the hospital. As the frightened animal moved chaotically around the area, she accidentally "disposed of" several grenades. The unexpected "guest’s" actions triggered a chain reaction, wounding several Russian soldiers to varying degrees. It is not currently known whether the goat survived the incident.
What they are not talking about is BRICs countries, Russia, China, India, Brazil, South Africa in discussions to replace the US dollar as reserve currency. These US and NATO sanctions are doing a fine job destroying the US and Europe's economies. Germany has reverted back to burning dirty coal to replace gas supplies cut off by Russia. Other countries like Thailand, Saudi Arabia, UAE has expressed interest in joining BRICs. Considering most of the raw materials and components used by the US and Europe come from China, Russia and other BRICs countries, what happens when China invades Taiwan and cuts exports of raw materials and components for US manufacturers? It would be reverse sanctions on US and Europe. You think the US and Europe would like that?
