Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

[@lizziegodfrey2711]

Love this podcast...everything I need to know about the war and political situation. I listen daily. Thanjs chaps

Well Truss and UK. We never buckle and along with Poland, Czechians, and EU others with the support of USA assist Ukrainians to they win and return their lost Territories.

[@flutterguy965]

I do really wonder if russia did spend the money to keep their Nukes maintained.

[@Waverlyduli]

If Russia skimped on maintaining its nuclear stockpile and rockets, when Putin presses his red button he may succeed merely in levelling a Russian city, which would be awkward.

[@APW554]

I would say no ……

[@DamienPalmer]

I do really hope we don't find out.

[@osric1730]

They don't need many of their 6000 to work though do they?

[@u.h.h4915]

Yes!Thinking that NOTHING is well kept in ruZZki…

[@davorbubic3378]

I fail to understand how referenda in Donetsk and Luhansk could possibly be considered a turning point more important than the annexation of Crimea, which is constantly under attack. Russia is constantly posing, profiling and threatening. Had they had any real possibility to do so, they would have retaliated a long time ago, as soon as the first shell fell in Crimea, which it considers Russia proper, not a republic that joined the federation. Words, words, and more words, I say.

[@Edo9River]

Francis, that was a superb concluding comment, for though she was speaking to an American audience, it is now repeated for the EU community plus UK.

[@smalltimep]

Thanks for keeping these up

[@andregrysify]

Another great report

[@ronaldthered6650]

Love these podcasts. Great ending quote from QE II. I hope our two countries and others continue to strive to live up to those values. From Miami Florida.

[@dnahaller376]

That was a timely closing quote of her late Majesty's speech to our Congress (yes, a very significant moment). I especially liked her use of the word "sterile". Hers will be very big shoes to fill.

[@winstonriviere6582]

I Don't understand how Rusia can be selling less fuel at a discounted price, yet still be doing well.

[@toby9999]

It's probably not doing as well. Less volume at lower margins. It's basic arithmetic.

[@TheRemcovanreems]

Don’t forget that China and Russia will demographically collapse this decade, and China debtwise. We in the West should be worried about collateral on collateral on Italian bond collateral in the eurodollarsystem.

[@bob___]

Regarding the comment that so many of the world leaders gathered at the UN in New York were previously in London for the future of Elizabeth II, this is another sign that we are at the end of an era. While Elizabeth II was not yet monarch during World War II, she definitely has a ringside seat, and she was certainly the British monarch during the construction of the post-World War II diplomatic order. Meanwhile, at the UN in New York, the number one topic is Russia's war in Ukraine. That war appears to signal the end of the post-World War II diplomatic order (at least in Europe), and it's interesting that the reign of Elizabeth II and the post-World War II order appear to have been so closely linked.

[@michaeldavison9808]

Yes a resurgent and belligerent Russia has changed the political map, from a post coldwar. The new map will be Democracies Vs Autocracies.

[@Slapdab]

Beat up to date coverage I’ve seen. Also check out Perun for longer logistics based critique

[@philipwoodgate9555]

obviously recorded before the mobilization announcement, look forwards to the next pod cast.

[@Edo9River]

Doesn’t this appearance of a referendum motivate Ukraine to carve out more in the Dunbas to create a international political Contradiction? How can a country conduct a survey of citizens will, when the country government doesn’t control all its territory?

[@hgm8337]

be embarrassing if they voted to stay with Ukraine, after all this mess

[@tonyjain826]

what about brain drain ? millions of talented people left

[@PlanetFrosty]

Huawei pulled out of Russia closing all its stores. Other Chinese phone makers are starting to follow along.

[@jjbiggmann5576]

DID THEY..?? I DID NOT KNOW THAT

[@tonyjain826]

biden s admonistration needs to be praised for their brilliant role in the world right now

[@ruthwhall3020]

The reason why Russia hasn't had a call to arms could be because there's not enough arms .

[@darrenquinn8295]

n not enough brains

[@Edo9River]

But why hasn’t Russia used its aircraft?

[@jjbiggmann5576]

THEY CANT....THE PILOTS...DONT WANT TO DIE.....FUNNY THAT..!!

[@EhEhEhEINSTEIN]

25:13 Mazepin doesn't have a drive anymore, he might be able to handle doordash duties?

[@PlanetFrosty]

China’s FX position is abysmal as China struggles to pay its bills in USD. Russia and China can trade “funny money” and goods, but its no long term solution. Russia and China are imploding economies.

[@stl_usa7501]

Question: When we talk about other countries and their energy (gas) storage at 80-90%, how many months can a nation stretch that 80-90% in reserves if Russia were to shut off gas completely?

[@ChuckAmadi]

Europe has mild Winters, put on extra clothes, cut down on your energy usage, small price to pay, in order to support Ukrainians.

[@christoft5468]

1) Russia has effectively shut the taps 100% 2) The buyer has no choice

[@ryanbudney3356]

It depends on how much storage the country has. If it's a grocery bad full of diesel, not long. If it's like Germany, it should last one winter, provided they're conservative.

[@Edo9River]

Check out Joe Bloggs video (however finding the exact video, is a challenge) but as I recall, about 1 month ago, they are generally good to about March 2023. I think that the case for Germany, a few are good until April.

[@michaeldavison9808]

Germany has said that if there is a normal winter it has sufficient reserves already even allowing for no more gas from russia.

The historical genetics of Russia is the permanent seizure of foreign lands and foreign property (Forecast of the philosopher Mikhail Aroshenko, the city of Dnipro, Ukraine) *When will the war in Ukraine end? The ancient Greek philosopher Plato argued that only the dead see the end of the war... The other day, near Kharkov, the Armed Forces of Ukraine not only defeated, but intellectually outplayed the troops of the Russian Federation. The Armed Forces of Ukraine used the tactics of the famous boxer Muhammad Ali: "Fly like a moth and sting like a wasp!" As a result, Ukraine received trophies in a week - about 300 tanks, guns and armored vehicles. The myth of the invincible "second army of the world" has been dispelled once again. * Roll call of centuries: After the defeat in the Crimean War of 1853-56. The Russian Tsar abolished serfdom. After the defeat in the "Crimean War" 2014-2023. Russia is waiting for historical changes... * 55 thousand soldiers and officers of the Russian Federation, 11 generals have already died in battles ... The flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, the cruiser "Moskva", lies at the bottom. In the Crimea, at the airfield near Saki, in one day on 08/09/22, 23 aircraft and helicopters of the 43rd Sevastopol Aviation Regiment (half of all fleet aircraft) were destroyed or damaged. This missile attack will go down in the history of wars. There have been no such one-time losses in the USSR-Russia since 1945. Russia has already lost 470 planes and helicopters, over 6,000 tanks and armored vehicles... Mobilization will not save it. * "Why do we need such a world if there is no Russia?" - said Putin. In the Caucasus, they answer: "Why do we need such a Russia, because of which there will be no peace?" To get away from sanctions, the USSR-2 will be created - the Siberian Soviet Social Republic with its center in Novosibirsk. An independent Tatarstan and a renewed Chechnya will receive Turkey's support. The real Russia is no more than other average countries in the world. The rest of the national republics are its colonies, which one way or another will become free. * The Kremlin has long suffered from imperial "political schizophrenia" - megalomania and persecution delusions... The historical genetics of Russia is the permanent seizure of foreign lands and property, the recognition of someone else's as one's own. * After the defeat of Putinism, a new stage of renewal will begin. From the period of supporting the war - to freedom of expression, creative life, creative economy and politics!

The LIHEAP could be a model. The law prevents cold weather residential shut offs. In the USA residents file for the Low Income Heating Energy Assistance Program. Grant money paid to the utility of your low income eligible... for home heating. Paid in summer 2023. Punt ⚽️

[@gethinhooper3671]

Bit out of date this..given today's news.

[@funkyplasmaman]

They file the story’s between 12-24 hrs before broadcast

[@jannarkiewicz633]

Just found these. Enjoy podcasts without people screaming.

As I mentioned,just to toot my small horn, while I was a Russian language student in 2015-16 (during my teaching vacations) the large majority of my dormitory were Chinese students. They were looking for job opportunities in Russia. They were a cheerful hard studying lot. The Far East is a land of opportunity.

[@josephtaylor6285]

Hey guys , a lot of podcasts that broadcast on KZbin show the speakers. It would be a lot more engaging to see your talking heads. Just saying.

It is very Tory, but it is a valid mainstream newspaper that basically upholds normal standards of journalistic accuracy. And I speak as someone who has always called it the Torygraph.
