Russian invasion of Ukraine

It’s not about creating fire, it’s about where the smoke ends up from that fire.

This is actually an interesting site to check the wind on, since the smoke would travel by wind.

It's really quite something to follow a particle to see where it would end up.

What did the Germans do now?

They just cut's the military help for some shaddy reasons while talking in media how much they are doing for Ukraine. I read today some articles that some people consider Scholz more as Putin ally than Ukraine.

Apparently there have been some explosions in the separatist region of Moldova.

Indian Ships Bound for Russia Made Their Way Back

Thousands of shipping containers that left India for Russia are stranded across ports in Europe and West Asia as the war in Ukraine gums up transport logistics worldwide. While some shipping liners insist on additional fees to return the undelivered containers to India, some exporters are scrambling to find overland routes to get them to their destination or find new buyers for these goods in other countries.

Shipping liners carrying around 3,000 such containers worth billions of dollars are unable to move ahead or return, two shipping industry executives aware of the matter said. According to the executives, many exporters have been trying to bring back their stuck exports, but shipping liners have asked exporters to pay demurrage and detention charges first. Demurrage is the charge an exporter must pay for using a container within the terminal beyond the free time period, while detention refers to the fees for its use outside of the terminal or depot beyond the free time period.

Exporters unable to pay up face the prospect of incurring significant losses. Along with the option of returning their products, exporters are also looking at new buyers for their stuck products, the people cited above said. “Although a few ships with Indian exports are returning now, there are several containers still stuck at various ports," said one of the two people cited above.

This comes amid a shortage of vessels and containers as US and European curbs on Russia and its businesses drive up crude prices and shipping costs.

Ajay Sahai, director-general of the Federation of Indian Export Organizations, said the customs department is creating systems for faster clearance of reimported goods. The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs is preparing a comprehensive standard operating procedure (SoP) for such reimports, a government official aware of the development said.

These Russians are giving Baghdad Bob the run for his money.



Wonder what happened to that guy

Supposedly he's living in UAE. Since nothing Saddam did or ordered towards civilians could be linked to the guy he was basically interrogated by the US and let go.

The reports are someone tried to attack a governmental building.

And I'm saying that it is more complicated.

Of course it's more complicated. I stated that at the outset.

First there are claims that conventional fire bombing is more efficient in creating fires.

You're ignoring the more important aspect: that regular fires don't pump that smoke into the stratosphere like a nuclear blast does.

The Australian bush fires in 2019-20 released ~750 million tons of smoke into the atmosphere. less than 1 million of that ended up in the stratosphere, however.

Firestorms are a rare phenomenon, and I say this having personally lived through an evacuation from a firestorm in California. They're still rare even in the realm of military campaigns. And the nuclear weapons of today are fare more destructive than the ones used in Japan. Furthermore, you're presupposing that the a "regular" firestorm is equally as capable of depositing carbon into the stratosphere as one caused by a nuclear blast, which superheats the air in the area and punches a hole through the tropopause before the firestorm can even start.

Sure, there's academic speculation that modern construction is less prone to catching fire and creating a firestorm, but the truth is that it's all just academic speculation, which...

Still hoping that we don't have to test it in reality.

Yeah.

[Forogil]

It’s not about creating fire, it’s about where the smoke ends up from that fire.

It's a combination of them.

And note that cited statement was that the nuclear exchange would according to Toon & al produce up to 5Tg of smoke in the stratosphere; but others instead write:

Based on the analysis by Toon et al. (2007a), such a conflict would generate 1–5 Tg of black carbon aerosol particles injected into the
upper troposphere,

That is an uncertainty of a factor of 5; indicating that it is more complicated, and looking at Toon et al the 1-5 Tg was just an inaccurate summary and instead the conclusion was:

There are many uncertainties in the analysis presented here.
...
The major uncertainties, however, are likely in our choices of scenario.

Very believable, much legit. Oh wow.

Because when in a secret operation to assassinate russian reporters (???), you will need your comfortable Hitler photo, some themed clothing, some...crack (because drugs are DPS cooldown) and passports of Ukrainian kind to leave them your personal details...for reasons!

OH AND SIMS 3 FOR SOME QUALITY GAMING!

Are russian people this fucking stupid that they would fall for this kind of shit?

Yes, or rather: brainwashing is one hell of a drug...They're not necessarily stupid.

Why does that Nazi shirt look like they just bought one and tossed it down? Still has the foldmarks and everything. They could have at least made it look like it was worn at some point and not brand-fuckin new.

We have American people drinking pee and eating toxic dirt as cures for COVID-19, I rather not pass judgement on the intelligence of people who basically have no choice in terms of information right now.

I rather will. If russians believe this shit, no matter if there's only this kind of information...

In a video taken at the place where those photos were taken they show a diary with a letter signed by an autograph that isn't even a name it means "Signature unclear". I heard someone suggest that another order was to add 3 sim cards to the photos and someone added the sims 3 3 times.

Russia is whining again about the US sending weapons to Ukraine. Obviously it is proving very effective in destroying the Russian war machine.

I mean, the Russians probably have given the Ukrainians an equal amount of weapons/vehicles

When British intelligence worked to fool the Germans on the Allies' invasion point of Sicily in WW2, they plotted to use the corpse of a homeless man dressed up like a military official who had ostensibly died in a plane crash at sea, handcuffing a briefcase containing fabricated documents showing a spot different than the one they actually intended to invade. They meticulously plotted out a fake life story, gave the body documents and personal effects to support the story, gave the individual a rank in which they would be entrusted with documents but still fit in with the body's lean physique, devised a CO2 pressurized vessel to store the body to keep it from decaying without freezing it (ice damage could have been revealed via autopsy,) and then released the body from a submarine and set it to drift into a spanish port whose officials they knew were sympathetic to the germans and would hand the briefcase over to them. The British planted tells in the documents entrusted to the body so that they could tell whether the envelopes containing the documents had been opened before the Spanish returned them to them, and, upon eventually receiving the body and documents back, could tell they had and that the false information had been relayed to the Germans.



This Russian thing, on the other hand? This... is pathetic.

Russians trying to put their machine spirits in the Armour is the only explanation for how badly their vehicles are being turned into slag.

The Ukranian atgm team just blastin them

Maybe they should paint them red, to drive them out of Ukraine faster.
