    Chinese nationalists are starting to push for China to take advantage of a weakened Russia to carve it up. I ahve seen some maps where most of the Far East is gobbled up.

    They may get their chance. This war looks like it contains the seeds of the final dissolution of the Russian empire.
    I don't think they would risk a nuclear conflict with Russia when they don't have to. Maybe they angle to gets Russia's energy resources ultra cheap as they're redirected away from the West. Perhaps in the future what Belarus is to Russia, Russia will be to China.

    Spain is sending artillery.
    netherlands is sending artillery.
    USA is sending artillery, drones, atgms etc.
    France is sending artillery

    ing . complicated logistics for disparate weapons systems, but still, that is a LOT of tubes, and the stuff that is winding its way to UKR is better than anything in the RUS inventory..

    very complicated logistics for sure... but the sure volume of stuff UKR is getting is going to be hard for Russia to deal with.

    GD right they are, but they're the decoy, just regular Americans; went to the American barber first before going over to get a nice razor cut and look the part, like the dudes in the movies. They're the cover for the "advisers" who are pulling that trigger.

    Sooner, or, later he's gonna ask for those codes, X..."I will count to 3, there will not be a 4."

    Horse . You put me on Ignore months ago, you big faker, you. I've been off & on since, but you had me on there before. You're just afraid to be left out of the large group that has me on Ignore. Crawl, mother er, drag that belly on the ground & crawl!!!

    Make no mistake though, son; I ignore no one. It's my religion.

    Let us proceed...

    Russian general says Moldova is next. As if they can get through Ukraine. Just motivated Moldova to join Ukraine’.

    As Russian troops tighten their grip on the strategic port town of Mariupol, their strategy is finally becoming clear. Russian military commander Rustam Minnekaev now says the second phase of President Vladimir Putin’s “special operation” is focused on establishing a “land corridor” from the Donbas all the way to Moldova, which would cut off the rest of Ukraine from the sea.

    “One of the tasks of the Russian army is to establish full control over the Donbas and southern Ukraine. This will provide a land corridor to the Crimea, as well as influence the vital objects of the Ukrainian economy,” Minnekaev said Friday at a meeting with the Union of Defense Industries, as reported by the Russian state-owned Interfax. “Control over the south of Ukraine is another way out to Transnistria, where there are also facts of oppression of the Russian-speaking population.” Transnistria is a separatist region of Moldova that has so far not been officially involved in the war despite hosting a Russian military base since the 1990s.

    They're already in Moldova with 9,000 troops. That was yesterday. Now today, CNN is reporting it's only 2,000 troops. tee, hee. They've been in Moldova for years, but we didn't know that till 2 weeks ago.

    It's the water, I said that over a fortnight ago, and it's been that way since day 1. Sure, he went north, but perhaps that was a feint.

    This land bridge is old news, years old, so, don't act like it's fresh now.

    Accident, or sabotage this appears to be a huge blow to RUS industry.

    This thing made most of the solvents used in ... artillery ammo production in RUS.

    hmmmm

    The extreme damage, perhaps total destruction of this chemical plant is going to have a spectacular and massive impact on the #RussianArmy. Possibly grinding entire systems to a stop in weeks, perhaps even days.
    Like many industrial sectors in #Russia, they tend to be centralized, massive + singular. This is generally a result of historic centralization of production under the Soviet model, and a fear of building massive high-cost infrastructure by nonRU firms #BASF #DuPont etc.
    At one of my prior firms, bid products from this plant. AFAIK, they are the only maker of a huge range of solvents and reactives of this kind in W. #Russia. See here: https://dcpt.ru/production/prochie-produkty/
    mong the products this plant made are the additives needed for advanced rocket/jet fuels, treatments/solvents for servicing metal parts, core input chemicals for explosive and solvents/traces/washes needed to manufacture electronics and circuits.
    This plant, was a PROCESS CRITICAL Tier 2/3 supplier to dozens/hundreds of suppliers for everything needed in war. For those who may think Tier 1/2s will have stock on hand; Nope. At most 2-3 weeks as these are VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) that die on the shelf.
    will provide a Domestic Example. In mid 2020 Midland MI had a 100 year flood and a massive local dam failure. That flood knocked out DOZENS of 1-of-a-kind US Specialty Chemical processes centered in that area. My firms, and 100s of others had to scramble for global backfill.
    It took 18+ months of global fill-in sourcing for US firms to stabilize post Midland Floods and US Production still has not fully recovered. #RussiaSanctions will prevent them from doing the same. I am certain in every corner of #Russian industry is in full panic.
    I have been reading the brilliant #RussiaUkraineWar coverage of
    @OzKaterji @Militarylandnet @KofmanMichael @HN_Schlottman @Nrg8000
    but if this #ChemicalPlant Fire is as bad as it appears, this will not be a long war. #Russia has lost a unique key tool it needs to make #War.
