In Russia’s Biggest Cities, Ukraine War Fades to Background Noise
Bars are filled to the brim, film and jazz festivals are sold out and Moscow’s police officers are busier handing out fines for public drinking than putting down dissent.www.wsj.com

Russia trading North Korea food in exchange for ammo.
Meanwhile Ukraine take delivery of millions and millions of pounds worth of advanced tanks and weaponry from friendly countries.
Laughable really.

Their losses are staggering.
Take it all with a pinch of propaganda salt, but the past day or two there have been a few sources talking about regular days of 15-20:1, and that's before wounded.
They'll need a new mobilisation soon enough.

Didn’t know that the US had come into direct conflict with the Wagner goons in Syria
Aye, SOF engaged Syrian forces which had Wagner embedded in them using ground and air assets, which led to them getting their arses handed back to them.
I'm surprised the French have give them a hiding in Mali too.

Because Ukraine are fighting with one hand tied behind their back. Held back by the west. If drones and bombs were dropping on Moscow or St Petersburg it might be different…..

Saudi's application to join the SCO was accepted yesterday by the way.
I think a lot of people here (on this forum and in the West generally) need to stop lapping up the kool-aid offered by the media and look at what is actually being said and done in the rest of the world.

So China’s influence in the Middle East is growing. Why? Because China needs access to resources to fuel its own economy. That access needs to come from a stable region so as to avoid price and supply volatility.
As for Saudi Arabia they want more control over the money for their product and in order for this to happen they are happy for China to to get involved.
Thing is the skeleton in the cupboard is Iran. Which leads me to believe that SA was afraid that China’s ties with Iran (tech, defence co-op etc…) would leave SA isolated in the region and therefore they decided to join the party so that they could keep up with the Persians. Which ever way you cut it though Sunni and Shia don’t work together, never have and never will. It will only end in tears for one or both of them.
As for us poor westerners, we simply need to focus all of our efforts on renewables and Nuclear and cut our dependency entirely on fossil fuels.
It must be a horrendous situation, for any man under the age of 50.
What do you do, do you uproot your whole family and leg it and avoid getting called up / killed ?
Or do you cross your fingers and hope they don`t call you up ?

This, but have also heard of people older than 50 being drafted. Quite a few have had mysterious injuries like broken legs etc. that have helped them avoid such things...
Damned if you do, damned if you dont.
