You cannot reduce something by five or seven times. If you reduce something by ONE times, it is now zero! Do any journalists have any math ability? Daily i read of things being reduced by multiple times. You can increase by infinate times but only reduce by one.

…and yet Nato is “sustaining the very war they now cite as grounds to disqualify Ukraine’s membership in Nato.” Insane. Interesting article posted on Mof Alabama:

Weird. Imagine if US Commerce or FCC hired a French economist, someone with a background as a (well) paid consultant/lobbyist to certain large corporations which the department wants to regulate!!!

I’m not sure.

The actual grain Ukraine exports is used more for animals, so little of it went to the truly needy countries. Spain got a bunch.

And Turkey gets a discount, and then resells it.

And the Wef seems to be at war with modern agriculture.

And then lots of Ukrainian grain flooded Eastern European markets, hurting local farmers.

The neocons were severely angered by their failure at Vilnius. This is how they hit back.

So, some damage that will be fixed just like last time, no damage to the railway part of the bridge (i.e. no effect on military logistics) & a random family destroyed, with a 14 year old girl turned into an orphan - I see there is ample cause for celebration in the Ukraine camp

It looks kind of like the bridge in Philadelphia on I-95 that was blown up by a fuel truck. Hmm.

Russian forces in Crimea, far from being the vanguard of the military, are now hostages. Russia must evacuate its forces or face them caught in the world's largest military cauldron. A sea evacuation would require a Dunkirk level effort, which the Russian merchant marine and… Show more

Some discussion on Twitter, unverified at this time, that the last 'grain ship'was a Turkish vessel and *could*have been the launch vehicle for the underwater drone.

As usual it will be a wait and see. Prayers to the little girl💔
