I havent watched a BBC report on this - not for any conspiracy reasons, just don't watch TV news much any more - so I don't have much to compare it too in terms of how it might have changedWe're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Surely it would be effective for Russia to control access to the Black Sea by a naval blockade?0

Getting the sulphur out is expensive.
Get it wet and it's become sulfuric acid which tends to play havoc with anything metal on the refinery (which I'm sure you're aware is a lot of it)
Let it into the air and it become hydrogen sulphide which tends to quietly, but very effectively, unalive people.
Working with H2S is a whole level of qualification above "normal" rig or refinery safety qualifications

Russia's Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu has gone 'on the sick' according to the Daily Reich. Lots of chatter on Twitter etc about his absence as well. There are other rumours of house arrest. What's for definite is he hasn't been seen in public for 12 days and counting...0

That's interesting. Especially as he was one of the possible successors to Putin in the event that Vlad was removed from power. Possible North Korean style pre-emptive purge of those high enough up to be a danger to the Dear Leader.thegreatdivide said:Russia's Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu has gone 'on the sick' according to the Daily Reich.

I'm getting mixed messages. Russia are being beaten backwards and taking a tanking, pun intended. Yet NATO are going to build up forces. Why? One battalion would do the job from what we've seen.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Yeah, but the horse has bolted and it now seems less necessary. Forces are required but if Putin is getting his asshanded to him then raising the numbers is questionable.shirley_basso said:Show of force and intent.

A constant reminder that this is only going in one direction and it's a good way for NATO to 'show up' without showing up (for understandable reasons)0

When Stugna related videos started popping up on Twitter they were called out as fake because of Arabic writing that appeared on the targeting screen. Turns out a huge shipment was due to be sent to Middle Eastern customers, but Ukraine had decided to hold onto them instead. Wise move.
