So apparently a USS sub has been refused fuel from a Norwegian supplier Haltbakk Bunkers. No verification on if that incident has happened but HB have stated on their Facebook page their intention to not supply US customers anymore.

Let's face it, Zelenskyy entered the White House through the Applicants door when he should have come through the Supplicants door.

Except this time it really is US policy to give zelensky the plague....probably covid. Saves the glowies the hassle of having arrange an 'accident'

trump? lithium and cobalt and tungsten and tin and sheeit

Trump needs tungsten to live....tungsten

“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to refuse drycleaning"
Netanyahus said to bring suitcases of laundry from Israel to wash at White House - Times Of Israel

That moment israel takes the idea of money laundering too literally

They were calm for forty or so minutes as Zelensky got uglier and uglier.

As a general tip for life: when you're in need of support from another country, you behave with humility and you offer up something in exchange - in other words, you say, "Thank you," wipe your chin, and walk away with gratitude. You don't demand the foreign country sacrifice their own for you.

Yeah I got around to watching the rest, what a mongoloid lmao. 'Hey you're extending an olive branch and a path towards security, let me just preach about how much you should give me and how little you know about the situation.'

In that light its a different vibe. I like how Trump stepped in, not to cool things off, but to 100% back his VP.

there's enough THEM! in the mix that I have to question the mineral claims the same way I do about the Clinton Foundation super double plus swearing Haiti is chock full of shit JUST under the dirt and that's why we need to waste everything there
I def get that Ukraine is a breadbasket and that's good enough for me to explain for why everybody is trying to kill each other beyond normal real estate, but really "also there's jillions of dollars of everything" seems a bit much

Trusting foreign (or domestic) academic literature is always a gamble.

Spoiler: Geology Analysis of the Ukraine

That said, let's delve a bit into where you can find lithium.

Primarily granitic pegmatites - LCT type (containing lithium, cesium, and tantalum), apparently.

According to the second paper I entered, low-temperaure country rocks through which Li-rich granitic melts intrude will result in economically significant lithium pegmatites. The basement or country rocks for the Ukrainian Shield are granite and gneiss - both of which are higher temperature rocks. So that's a strike against good lithium deposits. But then again, it's likely this material has been reworked (especially considering the age).

Mindat reports, "[Lithium pegmatites] most likely formed from S-type granites or possibly I-type granites, with a higher aluminium content (peraluminous granites)." This paper indicates the presence of S-type granites in the Ukrainian Shield.

Looking at the original map I showed with the original paper I mentioned, sites 8, 9, and 11 show lithium as per that paper.

If I can find a map that will show me S-granites in those particular locations, then they might not be bullshitting. Of course, they could always be lying about the amount.

Exactly, for all the cultural progressivism Eurotrash champion, they're the definition of myopia. They cannot detach themselves from the glory days. It manifests itself much more viscerally now. They're appalled at Trump and Vance, clicking tongues and stroking beards, but pray tell, what will they do?

I read a book on the USA years ago, and one line stuck with me: America are not perfect, but they're the only America we have.

Europe will do little because as a unit they can do little. Where has their money gone since the end of the Cold War, as a unit? They took that peace dividend and spent it on gibs. Who has the strongest army in Europe outside Ukraine? The UK? Please. Germany? Doubt it. France? Right now, probably Poland, then maybe Sweden and Finland, at their war strengths.

President Trump told NATO during his first term to pony up. They started doing so, then most slacked off when Biden came in. Now Europe is being told to pony up and man up again. Some countries, like Poland and Sweden, are with it, maybe a tad ahead of the curve. The UK, France, and Germany are not poor countries. They need to reduce the gibs and rebuild.

Have always supported Ukraine, but time to get real. They cannot defeat Russia. By the same token, Russia has been reduced to a very slow grind in Ukraine, while still not being able to eject Ukraine from all Russian territory they hold. Both countries are exhausted. Neither can fight a forever war, that's why Putin is willing to talk now. Both countries' demographics and economies are shit. Advocate a Korean-style armistice with a cease-fire. Both sides will need to compromise some. The armistice in Korea has held for nearly 72 years now.

But if Europe wants to finance and support a forever war, hey, have at it. Gonna have to cut the gibs down to pay for all that, plus rebuilding their own defense. The USA doesn't mind supporting that effort, but the Cold War is long over and the Europeans as a whole need to man up, pony up, and show more respect.

 

[COME ON OUT YOU RAPIST]

Yesterday is looking more like a formal declaration of It's Over than anything else.

• Zelensky is going to be left panhandling the EU, who lack the money and resources (military especially) to help in any tangible way. He's a prideful little kike with worse negotiating skills than a gypsy selling fake watches, so I expect this will be more funny than fruitful.
• Ukraine as a people and culture are dead. They've suffered ten million losses, virtually all of them young men. Even if the war "ends" you will see guerilla terrorism from nationalists for decades. Things are going to get worse as Russian encroachment east continues. I expect most of Europe will reject Ukrainian refugees because they aren't sand niggers. NAFO troons (the ones who don't kill themselves) will become a smaller but more virulent presence on the internet.
• Russia spent nearly a million lives conquering a sliver of bombed-out rubble. Even if Putin doesn't care about that (he doesn't), these past few years have exposed Russia's hand. Everyone will study what Russia did and was capable of during this war, prepare for it, and once again force Putin to go "Well I may not have military parity with a first-world nation, but I can send millions of people to die for some petty conquest!" like the chimp he is.
• Europe has been handed the microphone. Europe might bend the knee to any jew with a sob story, but the United States bankrolls a lot of Europe on every conceivable level, military included. I guarantee no one in a European leadership position is asking themselves "How can we save lives and stop this war?", but instead "How can we virtue signal while not having to spend money on this lost cause?"
• The United States is telling everyone to fuck off. Warhawks make up a huge swath of the Republican and Democrat party. Since forever wars are such a reliable way to make horrible entities in the United States tons of money, I expect a third and more elaborate attempt on Trump's life (probably Vance as well) in the future.

Has to be some sort of misunderstanding or exageration. There is no way a NATO country would refuse to let a US Navy ship supply on their shores. That's absolutely fucking insane.

Wrong. ALL US submarines are nuclear-powered, refueling is done in the USA.

[Get the rope Macaulay!]

you need to understand both cultures to see that both sides are right, in their own view.

not when one needs $350 billion from the other

If you can do it to someone else someone can also do it to you and men aren't the same in 2025. Miceoplastics and other shit are wrecking havoc on T levels and society has turned them into women with penises. The whole idea of a warm welcoming environment is antithetical to how men operate.men don't want to be coddled in schools growing up. They want the freedom to run with sharp things and do stupid shit. I'm not advocating that everyone should lose an eye playing with scissors or be intentionally harmed but there's a lot of character kids haven't been building for a long time that comes from it.

i love when faggots say shit like this as if 1. people haven't been saying this for decades and 2. the biggest shitheads in politics were guys like Joe Biden or Hunter Biden or Diane Feinstein.

like what year was the last generation of men? Also chances are you'll name examples of what you consider real men and it will be guys like Rock Hudson or Lance Bass or some other homo that gets fucked in the ass and gets cum in his mouth. nigga like a dozen 3rd world countries have gotten a coup just in this last week.

I live around Russians, they can be very selfish, they take stuff without asking,

if you think thats bad like around Ukrainians

and it'd be relatively cheap to train and equip Congo's military to some basic level of competence

everyone mark it on your doxxing sheets, this guy's a nigger

Actually you missed another very important aspect of Russia here: Putin has managed to tank the US and EU sanctions and survive.

The sanctions against Russia were supposed to absolutely destroy their economy. It was the first time in decades the global economy really was shattered and a country was getting kicked out of it. The idea was to forcefully collapse Russia.

It failed.

What happened is Putin was able to stay retarded long enough to jury rig a alternative and find a way to handle the sanctions. Russia's economy took a hard hit, let us not kid ourselves, but they were supposed to be dead on the water. Instead the current Russia is now better isolated from the global market and better able to deal with sanctions, and other countries like China have taken clues and are working to have backups based on Russian ideas on how to possibly deal with such economic sanctions in the future. They used their ultimate financial weapon and failed.

Is this a thing under NATO rules? It's a private company so maybe it is technically allowed? Do these fuckers know what they are playing with?

 

[SaidNoOneEver]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_navy

They still use diesel generators.

 

[quaawaa]

Pretty much just talks about how this event just makes US look unreliable for arms sale, and how we should just keep fueling the war machine.

The only other countries that this would possibly concern are Israel and Taiwan. Israel doesn’t care since AIPAC is effective and Taiwan is already restricted from the good stuff in order to not scare China.

Everyone else treats arms deals as a one time sale and they aren’t afraid to shop at other “stores”.

That video creator is an example of the “talent” in our defense contractors since the end of the Cold War. A bunch of midwits who believe that because they know some obscure self-created jargon, they’re geniuses. Physiognomy is real, and someone who is a fatass is unlikely to be a competent military strategist (compare him physically to Hegseth for example).

Also, Ryan Mcbeth (the video creator) is a “software architect”, which is a do-nothing bureaucratic position that real software companies did away with before the Dot Com crash. His job is to draw some flowcharts that the actual software engineers underneath him ignore because they’re useless and irrelevant. You won’t find anyone with that title or role at any of the FANGs for good reason.

of course it's a thing. they're a private company. what this means is that norway may face issues because of their internal behavior. if they want to stop this, they're more than free to pass laws mandating who must refuel US ships, i'm sure.

for us, it means that norway is no longer a trustworthy ally in this case, and harm to the US-Norway defense relationship which is kept in place firmly by NATO... an organization already on shaky footing.
