Russia-Ukraine War Politics Thread Mk. 2

Russia litterally didn't have the logistical power or reach to hold onto it if it was even remotely contested. Also Russia is the largest country on the planet, they more or less have all of the resources they need inside their territory and they cant even fully exploit that.
We know that, most of the world knows that, the Chinese know even.

However the brainwashing out of Moscow is not something that can be discounnted from making colossally retarded ideas viable for the Russian public.

Yeah russia often times stupid agression has fucked them over numerous times in the past.

If they just focused on improving what they had instead of always looking for ever more they would be a lot wealthier.
 
Of course they have.

There are many towns up there that would love to have a boom time from new mines opening or whatever. Alaska is a rough place. Abundant resources is what is has over other places.

But no. All blocked. The entire state is a locked up to protect nature or whatever.

I've seen pictures a a couple places they want to drill or mine. It's not like in the middle of a forest or anything. Barren rocky wastes and tundra. There are like a million square miles of tundra and wastes. 1 square mile for a mine is not a big deal.

Nah let's let China dominate that market instead of letting America get its own rare earths. In a better cleaner way than China ever would.

The concern is that the mining company will take shortcuts as has happened many times before resulting in the abandonment of towns and counties. And in one case the evacuation of the entire county surrounding Times Beach. Dioxin contamination had seeped into the groundwater and further spread by the spring flooding. The contamination was caused by an idiot. Who instead of processing the contaminated oil and disposing of it as toxic waste, decided to double his money by using the oil for his dust suppression business. Spraying the county's dirt roads and fields with the tainted oil.

The Salton Sea for example has high levels of rare earths and toxic runoff that has gone airborne with its bottom now exposed. Lung cancer and respiratory illnesses in the region is many times higher than the rest of the continent. That includes Mexico whose pollution control is subject to corruption.

Protecc rocks from pollution!
Rocks are people too!
 
wtf! why?
money, apparently.
Friday's council session was held to approve the village's budget for 2024, but Batryn, a deputy from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's Servant of the People Party, argued that he and his colleagues should first give a full report on the 2023 budget before moving on to next year's.

Batryn also had a long-standing feud with village chief Mikhail Mushka, reported the news Telegram channel Zakarpattya24.

Batryn had opposed a proposal to allocate a 50% raise and a monthly bonus for Mushka during the war, and had voted against deeming the village chief's job performance satisfactory.

At the height of the budget debate, Batryn walked out of the council headquarters and returned less then three minutes later to detonate the grenades

Can someone explain to me why the Republicans are being so obstinate with blocking Ukraine’s aid money? I understand they want some compromises on the border but…now is not the time.

Playing politics with this will age horrifically. Same goes for that moron Orban.

Because they arnt willing ti actually fight the dems on things that would actually do something good for the country.
Like pushing against ir holding Trans bills or LGBTQ ir Diversity stuff..they are picking something that they can get some dems to back to try and get voters that way.

both Border and Ukraine are important to the US
Why is 'now not the time' for securing our own borders?
He means using Ukraine. Nit the border.
At least i hope.
 


One of the big impediments to smooth rail logistics between the EU and Ukraine is getting addressed through some nice engineering work.

Edit: In case the tweet doesn't come through, UA's new rail cars are designed to work on both the EU and UA gauges of rail-lines, making it much easier to move logistics by rail into and out of Ukraine.
