--- Quote from: wraper on September 06, 2022, 05:48:01 pm --- Two wars in Chechnya where Russia fought with basically a terrorist local government within its own borders, while West was crying foul about that. --- End quote --- Chechnya declared independence (as Ichkeria), and first their government definitely wasn't a 'terrorist'. They have done some bad things only being in a desperate position. Grozny, the capital of Chechnya, was leveled to the ground by the russian army. Tens or even hundreds of thousands of civilian people were killed by russians across that two wars. The first president of Chechnya - Djohar Dudaev was very intelligent man, and he was elected by the people at the election. He was killed by russians in 1996 (it was First Russia-Chechen war if I'm not wrong). Dzhokhar Dudayev biography: --- Quote ---Dudayev rose steadily in the Air Force, assuming command of the 326th Heavy Bomber Aviation Division of the Soviet Long Range Aviation at Tartu, Estonia, in 1987 gaining the rank of Major-General. From 1987 through March 1990, he commanded nuclear-armed long-range strategic bombers during his post there.[8][11][a]. He was also commander of the garrison of Tartu. He learned Estonian and showed great tolerance for Estonian nationalism when in autumn 1990 he ignored the orders (as commander of the garrison of Tartu) to shut down the Estonian television and parliament.[4][8] In 1990, his air division was withdrawn from Estonia and Dudayev resigned from the Soviet military. --- End quote --- |

A lesson for EU politicians and their electorates: whom you should pray to ( gas supplier ) , you should not anger |

--- Quote from: Nusa on September 06, 2022, 09:17:45 pm ---It works both ways. Europe will have to make do with shutting down industries --- End quote --- A lot of those generic industries won't survive the transition to renewable energy anyway. Only the very high-tech, highly specialised companies that have second to none products will survive. There are many of such companies across Europe. I'm not worried at all. |

--- Quote ---We'll not get into how dependant the USA currently is on China as a trade partner...the current effort to revive chip production in the USA is very telling. --- End quote --- Yes, theres chips, and a whole lot of other general electronics stuff.......soon, we wont have access to any of it, when "the other imminent invasion", related to the Russian invasion, gets underway. Some British Army prototype military drones use Chinese electric drives. I dont think withdrawing support for Ukraine is an option, no matter how cold it gets this winter....things will just end up getting even worse, and even colder, for Ukraine and the rest of us, if we do. By the way, i have a design for a "diverter electric shower", which allows low energy showering, if anyones interested in getting some investment to build it. You can turn it on and off easily, and dont get frozen or scolded when it comes back on......and it keeps shutting the water off every 30 seconds. |
