In other words you can not continue wearing summer cloths in winter anymore. Put on extra layers from now on that should fix the problem and save a ton of money too.

Costanza bargains to bring the oil price up for buyers!

They still have gas anyway. But yes. I've snowboarded an 11k' mountain in Montana with 50mph winds. I could barely breath going from 600' elevation at home to 11k' in 18 hours. About 10ºF at the peak. With my gear I was sweating. Europe won't freeze unless they're idiots. Fine by me. There are ways to survive tough conditions.

@FarmersWon, thank you for invoking me in your rants. looks like you need more people to ignore you on patnet. How was your khalisthan referendum in Kanada. Are you getting separate country in Kanada?

Dalits can convert to Buddhism. They can even give "gali" to hindu gods and goddesses. Just like you Khalisthani. But it is not going to stop Hindu revivalism. Dalit/Khalisthani get money from west and US sends victoria Nuland to India.

Buddha himself said he is avatar of VIshnu. And Guru Gobind ji was devotee of Kali.

NATO is dying a slow death. Once France gets out of it after this winter then you will be only source for them. Maybe you can make your Khalistan in europe then.

Lol! but as per @jykiodfgr, there was no civilization in Europe because of the cold until Russia starts sending gas!

how - because you say so!

CA by any means is not cold but I see people use summer cloths in winter at home and use full heater. Most of them can afford to be stupids and talk about stuff like global warming crap.

Another unintended consequence. When people feel cold in the winter all the time without artificial heat, they aren't going to believe int he Global Warming fallacy.

Could Biden possibly be stupid enough not know that the only value the US dollar has is Saudi Arabia's requirement that other nations buy oil with it?

Also, should not Biden's greenie base be happy that SA is cutting back? After all, the greenies surely do not want the US oil production cutback to be replaced by more imported oil. Seems Biden's base would not like Biden pushing anyone for more oil production.

Let Bidet kill the petrodollar - gold will go through the roof. $5K, $10K, etc. Sure, gas will cost $500 a gallon, but look at the boon for green energy . . .

jykiodfgr says

All the fronts are now at risk of collapse if 2 million NATO troops don't enter Ukraine soon.

I don't see how that image conveys that, assuming it's even accurate.

NATO troops?????

WTF...oh you mean like the mighty German army (try 65000 personnel). Of course, they are just the biggest jokes of our military alliance.

Western mainstream media is not reporting likely what is happening as far as Ukraine losses.

But I suspect Ukraine is not concentrating forces. They are using small teams of 4 to 5 with shoulder fired missiles and these teams are spread out.

I've seen eyewitness news reports like Ukrainian news on the ground that they are using electric motorcycles as far as transportation of these small teams.

Might be more difficult after the recent strikes on the Ukrainian electrical grid.

https://electrek.co/2022/05/17/ukraine-soldiers-electric-bikes/

https://southfront.org/ukraine-assesses-damage/

In one day, about 20 thermal power plants and substations in Ukraine were damaged. So far, some regions of the country remain cut off from electricity supply.

The problem with electric bikes is the need to rely on power plants.

Patrick says

Yes, I don't know the extent to how much the operations have been slowed given the current damage to the electric grid.

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-urges-civilians-save-energy-after-russian-air-strikes-2022-10-11/

It's interesting that Russia could have attacked the Ukrainian electrical grid earlier but did not. Why not?

Patrick says

Why not?

I think they thought they could change the government in Kiev without having to destroy the country.

I don't think they can persuade the rest of Ukraine to given in, so that is why they are slowly destroy it.

Maybe they want to create a desolate and barren land from Poland to the Russian-occupied regions.

Drive out the dissenters (Ukrainian nationals) who will be refugees in western Ukraine or even Poland, Germany, etc.

Patrick says

Russia has been following the rules of war. Hitting a country's infrastructure violates one of the rules. However, when the Ukrainians attacked the Crimea bridge, the Ukrainians violated the rule. This freed Russia to attack the Ukrainian infrastructure. The Russians have not gone berserk over the matter. Instead, they are being "measured" in their response.

Misc says

Russia has been following the rules of war.

I was under the impression that war has no rules. "All is fair in love and war."

I know there are some formal agreements, but that seems kind of silly. War is by definition an out of control situation where people are trying to kill each other and impose their will by force. It's not like there is some higher court you can go and complain to, and least not one that has the power to do anything.

Most countries are signatories to the Geneva Conventions (the rules of war).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_Conventions

And who enforces the Geneva Conventions?

Patrick says

And who enforces the Geneva Conventions?

The winner.

...but generally there is an international uproar when the rules are violated. That's why other countries aren't really speaking out against Russia targeting Ukraine's infrastructure now. Everyone not in the conflict clearly sees the Ukraine started this escalation.

I called this in advance of Russia's actions here:

So, just to be clear from how the rest of the world views this.

Intentionally attacking infrastructure is against the rules of war. Ukraine violated this rule. Hence, Russia is now free to destroy Ukraine's infrastructure.

Nothing good will come from this.

With as much crap as Colin Powell did, he did try to contain and stop the genocide in Darfur.

He got the US to get the UN involved in stopping the genocide, but the incidents weren't really covered by the international press...so the effort sorta petered out.

https://worldwithoutgenocide.org/genocides-and-conflicts/darfur-genocide

It's like a gangster movie, with USA-NATO gangster pushing Ukraine gangster's face into a meat grinder and calling it an alliance.

Patrick says

Optics for one, and they don't want to destroy the nation for another.

They want to remove the US puppets. Killing the citizenry and causing them hardship creates enmity, there is no gain in that. That have to APPEAR to be engaging in restraint. It's mostly optics.

If Russia really wanted to win this war, they could do it with a nuclear weapon in Kiev tomorrow - the problem with doing this is that it would greatly escalate tensions and change the dynamics of how people view Russia. Russia would become "the bad guy" overnight, in nearly everybody's eyes. A lot of war is psychological, or really, sociological. It's important what entire populations think.

Patrick says

I was under the impression that war has no rules. "All is fair in love and war."

The rules of war are unwritten.

If you can, you win over the population and turn it against their own government. Wars are between governments 99% of the time, and at least 90% of the population just wants to be left alone.

Really, all violence is done by criminals or is a reaction toward criminal activity. If Russia was a BETTER country with less criminals in it (let's PRETEND none), the Ukraine people would have welcomed Russia as liberators, PROVIDED they knew Russia was criminal free. Of course it's not.

This is why it's important to lead by example. The US had this position for a point of time, they were REGARDED as being a benevolent, relatively free of corruption, nation in 1950 after WWII - right or wrong. Iran emulated us, Afghanistan emulated us, many nations did. Our nation back-stabbed them of course. At one point, we were genuinely regarded as liberators. 70 years ago. That's the place to be.

Today, we are told by our propaganda press that's how we are regarded, when we're not. Up until the 1990's Americans regarded themselves this way, but by 2000, that was over. We set up Saddam Hussein with "incubators being stolen", and with telling Hussein he could attack Kuwait without consequence with April Glaspie. The rest of the world knew we were lying by that time. Iran already was calling us "the Great Satan" for overthrowing their nation in 1953. Gautamala didn't forget Operation PBSuccess. The only few people that think US intervention is a good thing, are really ignorant Americans, and there's less and less of them by the day.

I would like us to return to leading by example, and not lying about it.

I'm just not seeing anything here. If anything, it's pretty damned sad the Ruskies haven't pushed way NW of Donetsk and the airport by now on Day 220+

The only thing keeping Zelensky in power is our CIA. They are taking out the Ukies that want to oust him before they are able to do anything. Ordinary Ukies know that the West doesn't want them to win, otherwise they would be providing F16s and Abrams tanks. The soldiers know they are just being sacrificed so that a few more Russians will die. The Western media isn't showing the lines of Ukies fleeing the country again.

@indc
I just needed to ask when is Hindoo cult leaving west due to Beef mother and india mother insult.
Would Hindooo chose dollars or Beef mother?

Now a lawyer is saying that Hindooo cult killed own to blame/defame Sikhs.. Wondering if Hindooo will sue?.. Hindooo crimes needs to be exposed.

All gurus are devotees of only Akal Purakh. Stop bringing stone workshop to Sikhi.

Add Hindoo father insult too. The pedophile father of Hindooo cult is insulted everywhere.

Found this article about some truly horrific crimes, human sacrifice, extreme torture and dismemberment, and cannibalism. Very sick stuff. This psychopath got a normal Indian couple with a failing business to agree to some really sick rituals for promise of business success.

All Hindoo have to move to India once you get Khalistan in Kanada. So you dont have to ask me again and again. And hope you got your answer. So how is your "mother" country dream?

Thank you for sharing @Shaman, Just shows why you abrahamics try to change the narrative. If you even bother to read the article is shows stupid hindus who blindly believe Abhrahamics because of secularism. It was a Muslim guy who killed them and suddenly he becomes "Indian". Do you know why @FarmersWon did not share this news? Bastard Abrahamics and their bastard narrative building.

@Shaman, here is a news you should actually look at from India and which is very familiar to chatholics all over the world.
