Over the past months it's been an interesting development on twitter. Infectious disease experts have become military strategists.

Tbh, people who have at least basic knowledge in military matters is a much, much bigger crowd than epidemiologists, so...

 

[Flybynite]

non-binding resolution... binding resolution... It's still the UN so I'm not sure it matters either way.

To paraphrase Tommy Boy I could take a dump in a box and mark it binding and all you'd have is a binding piece of ****.

Actually, youve described Czech-infected propaganda machine very well. There was a strong antivaxx / antirestrictions organization for the past 1 year that started to share ONLY pro-Russian stuff on facebook beginning this Thursday. If the kremlobots wanted to be any more obvious, they would fail

I’m not buying these armored vehicles running out of gas. They were brought near the locations they invaded via train, then each element travelled together in a convoy. Somehow only one armored vehicle runs out of gas from the whole convoy?
Then you see videos of lone armor rolling down the road. That’s not how things work.
Shit smells off here.

We haven’t refused to buy Russian oil have we?

 

[Embiid]

I don't believe Europe has that is for sure. Apparently it is still flowing...

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

we should be using more of our own reserves. But we would rather make more money than lower the consumer prices of everything. We get 10 percent of our oil from Russia. We should tell them to f*** off and open 10 percent of the oil reserves in this country.

There have long been talk from military people about Russian units selling their own diesel fuel for money. There were even some reports of it from locals in Belarus of the troops waiting there.

This was a story from Radio Free Europe before the invasion began.

Yes, reports of Russian troops selling fuel and buying alcohol for that money... Also, UKR forces have bombed all trail routes coming from RUS. They eliminated 40 (iirc) convoys coming from RUS via road. It's not THAT easy for Russia now.

Edit: some are worried that this is all tactics by Russia - sending in oldest ammunition and inexperienced troops first, make Ukraine spend it's missiles/resources, and then send advanced military resources. Either it's false speculation, or - if it's true - huge stupidity. Europe is sending tons of ammunition to Ukraine now and defending for as long as they have managed now has united the entire Ukrainian nation. The only real worry I have now is a lunatic having access to nukes.

@Beef Invictus - pepper update - Habalokia Red seedling sprouted today, one of my favourites. It's ''fireworks, heyyoo!'' type of spicy, but not to the extent of ''my stomach will be able to handle only water for next 3 days''.

Even the more popular brands of vodka here in the US aren’t even Russian based/owned companies. Tito’s (United States), Grey Goose (France), Kettle One (Netherlands), Absolut (Sweden), etc.

Even Stoli is owned by an ex-pat now in Luxembourg who left Russia over a disagreement with Putin.

Honestly most of the time I’m drinking vodka it’s usually either like Arnold Palmer’s or like slushies in a blender. So the taste of vodka doesn’t really matter. I can just get some mid grade one & it’s good.

But some times I’ll drink them with club soda so then I’ll usually get like a citrus Kettle One bottle.

So you are saying you drink Banker's Club and Popov Vodka?

 

[swami24]

How could we live without Popov vodka?

Seriously, the global impact is on wheat for other nations.

As someone who is cynical about global economics, this will create unreasonable profits for many corporations, no matter where they are based. Global Corps want to make up for 2020 losses.

Nah I haven’t sunk that low since high school. I usually just get a handle of Tito’s for mixing.

Honestly don’t really like liquor all that much. I rather drink beer. My Italian side of the family always drank Sambucca while my Irish side always drank Jameson/Bushmills. The latter would always have a bottle in the kitchen closets so they could have a shot in their coffee every morning.

Even that stuff I never really liked.
