Why would the Poles pretend to be Russian when they already have their own volunteer legion fighting for Ukraine. And are one of the groups inside Belgorod giving the Russian govt and military grief.Other thread is now putting about the idea that wagner units are redeploying to belgorod, which is being attacked by british and american special forces, who are pretending to be poles pretending to be russians.
I think they just desperately want to frame this as anything other than Russians themselves getting sick of Putin's shit.Why would the Poles pretend to be Russian when they already have their own volunteer legion fighting for Ukraine.

Which is blatant cope. When has a great power NOT armed a lesser power that finds itself fighting a strategic rival? Al Qaeda in Iraq, the Shiite Militias like the Mahdi Army and the Taliban ended up with a suspiciously large number of modern RPG's and so on. Largely supplied from Russia and funneled through Iran. Much like how so much US shit ended up in Ukraine Via Poland and the Baltics. Arms supplying is nothing new. What IS new is how advanced the toys being provided this time around is. That is not a function of fear over Russian Retaliation but rather a greater trust on the part of the USA for the party receiving the toys. In the case of the Soviet-Afghan War, we were supplying a bunch of goat fucking insurgents. So even the Stinger Missiles were controversial. In this case we are supplying an actual State actor so the concerns mitigated about what the shit will be used for.Same as how the presence of NATO equipment = "This is an escalation by NATO!"
Exactly. Welcome to our position when EFPs started showing up in Iraq, or the untold thousands of pounds of materiel and fighters started coming in from Syria.Which is blatant cope.

Holy shit, you mean you can just... not be a refugee? You don't have to go to another country and rape and/or kill their citizens?I wonder if the BBC is even aware of just how supremely BASED this puff piece is.
I hear that you don't have to live like a refugee.Holy shit, you mean you can just... not be a refugee? You don't have to go to another country and rape and/or kill their citizens?
Everything about the tank is unproven in a real combat environmentTank Museum Autists finally address the T-14 Armata.
Spoiler. Its shit. Overly dependent on western imports to work. A good idea in theory, but utterly beyond the capability of the Russian tank industry to provide. It can no longer resource the gunsights from france, or the computer chips from Taiwan due to sanctions. Worse, the light weight reactive armor was never proven, let alone produced.

Trump had the US shit shipped directly to Ukraine as he wasn't giving a single fuck about doing it clandestinely.Much like how so much US shit ended up in Ukraine Via Poland and the Baltics. Arms supplying is nothing new.
Libfags still refuse to admit they got bamboozled by a bunch of cameljockeys and OGnigs pretending to be refugees and not economic opportunists who wanted free shitHoly shit, you mean you can just... not be a refugee? You don't have to go to another country and rape and/or kill their citizens?
It was shit from the start, the unmanned turret its just one small failure away from turning the whole tank useless, they should've kept the old autoloader system but give it a proper firewall and door so the turret wouldnt go airborne after a hitA good idea in theory
The vatniggers are saying that it's American and British special forces in Belgorod pretending to be Poles that are pretending to be Russians. Not that they are Poles. It's just more retarded vatnigger copium. It's not British or Americans doing it. At the very least it's Russians that were in Ukraine that the Ukrainians armed and allowed to go into Russia to make trouble there. The US would never have US special forces units running around on Russian territory that way. At least not being that loud and obvious.Why would the Poles pretend to be Russian when they already have their own volunteer legion fighting for Ukraine. And are one of the groups inside Belgorod giving the Russian govt and military grief.
Lazerpig already said it's a garbage tank. The Russians only have 19 of them I think. Maybe 24 at the most. It's not very good.Tank Museum Autists finally address the T-14 Armata.

I have to disagree. I think the time for Russia was simply running out.I liken the Russian government being the guy in Vegas that hits a jackpot on the slots then ends the night gambling his winnings then hitting the ATM until he hits his withdrawal limit. All they had to do was wait a few years for the EU to be totally dependent on Russian gas, the Biden Administration to collapse on their own social justice and tranny idiocy as well as the fall of Afghanistan and still have a military deterrent that was unchecked and assumed to be a neer peer threat to the US. I wonder if that half Nigerian Obama would have pushed for intervention in Ukraine back in 2014 if we knew how incompetent the Russian government was.
Wind is intermittent and unpredictable, and rarely operates at its nameplate capacity, meaning it has to have spinning backups of equal capacity, ready to take over at short notice. Gas is the most ideal for this, so they will still need to have gas plants active and burning the entire time. Solar produces most of its energy at the wrong time of day, so peaker plants are still necessary in the morning, and especially in the evening - and they're also preferentially powered by gas, for the same reason as the backup generation for wind.Gas run power plants tend to be the most flexible ones. So they are the most vulnerable by disruptions from solar/wind, both of which are becoming cheaper and cheaper and are already price competitive in many areas.
Your point being?Wind is intermittent and unpredictable, and rarely operats at its nameplate capacity, meaning it has to have spinning backups of equal capacity, ready to take over at short notice.

Solar produces most of its energy at the wrong time of day, so peaker plants are still necessary in the morning, and especially in the evening - and they're also prefentially powered by gas, for the same reason as the backup generation for wind. Russia wasn't going to lose its leverage because "renewables", while they appear to be winning (if you only take the highly distorted energy market figures at face value), are unreliable, expensive, and not nearly as useful as they're claimed to be.
The proof of this is Germany, which has by far the greatest investment into renewable energy. It should have been able to divorce itself from Russia almost completely, but it was in fact the most dependent on Russia, because it needed Russian gas to maintain the extensive backup generation necessary to create the illusion that its renewables scheme was working. The UK is similarly invested in unreliables, but our gas primarily comes from other sources than Russia, so we were able to maintain the illusion longer.
2002 | 2022 | |
Coal | 252 TWh | 161 TWh |
Nuclear | 153 TWh | 33 TWh |
Gas | 40 TWh | 45 TWh |
Overall electricity production | 502 TWh | 491 TWh |
Germanys industry, foremost the chemical industry (BASF, Bayer) is a huge consumer of gas as well as the heating sector since nearly every house uses gas for heating purposes.The total volume of natural gas imported into Germany in 2022 was 1,449 TWh (2021: 1,652 TWh).
