    The Ukraine War, implications, outcome?

    Finland is not a neutral country. It was perhaps kind of true during cold war but certainly not after our EU membership and other developments during the last 30 years.

    Those dots on the second map are not all bases. There are no NATO bases in Finland or Sweden for example, liaison offices or something like that maybe. The dot on sea between Finland and Sweden makes zero sense, perhaps it should be lower on Åland island..? The whole map looks quite sketchy..

    Exactly, this was sold to the Russian people as a peace keeping operation. Quite a peace keeping operation if Kyiv looks like Stalingrad circa 1943 after it and Russian casualties are in the tens of thousands. It really looks like Putin could get a Pyrrhic victory at best. You have to wonder if...

    I hope that generals would intervene in that scenario. They know that their lives would be over in minutes if they press the button. But yeah, it is really worrying.

    I was just thinking the same. Where I live only total whackos believe the Russian propaganda, probably because we have been dealing with it since the start of times and know what it is. I'm sure we have our blind spots in other issues so it's not like we are better than others. The Kremlin...

    The genocide in Eastern Ukraine is a completely made up thing. I know western media has turned to shit but don't blindly believe RT either.

    This is huge if true but as usual you have to be very skeptical. Hopefully this is true.

    That's funny but most of the stuff that Russia has used there so far is ancient: T72's, BMP-1's, BMP-2's, MTLB's etc. You could literally run circles around them in an Abrams or Merkava and not have a care in the world.

    Putin has certainly broken character here, he has not taken risks even nearly this big before. The UK defence minister said that "he has gone full tonto". I don't know what tonto means but it doesn't sound very flattering. I certainly wouldn't rule out Putin having serious mental health issues...

    It has been estimated that 75% of Russian conventional forces are tied in this operation. Do you think they can continue that for decades? Putin is counting on this being a quick and relatively painless (for Russians) operation. A prolonged war could be catastrophic for him.

    That's all true but then Ukraine will be a Russian puppet state for the foreseeable future. If they want to stay independent the only option is to fight back and try to inflict casualties on Russians. Steady stream of Russian soldiers going back home in bodybags can turn public opinion against...

    Didn't Belarus do just that and they are not exactly in a good place either. Russia/Soviet Union has always been a tricky neighbor for smaller countries. In their mind only big world powers should have any say in the world. Smaller countries are there only to be exploited. Western Europe...

    Haha, tell me about it. I crashed a Honda PCX while going back to Chiang Mai from Pai a few years ago. It started raining when I was on the mountains/hills near Pai and I should've immediately stopped as the road gets extremely slippery when wet, instead I kept going and as soon as I really...

    Ocean freight shipping prices have skyrocketed during the pandemic. Did you check train freight price from China to Europe? I have no experience of it but I heard it's more competitive now when ocean shipping is so expensive.

    UK Residents How Are You Dealing With Brexit?

    I used to order a lot from Amazon UK but after brexit I’ve switched to Amazon DE and other continental European webstores. Customs here have gotten a lot stricter too. About 10 years ago I used to order a lot from the US and often the packages slipped through customs without intervention. It...
