Protecting American jobs…
The Brazilian Gripens were $86million per plane. Sweden just gave Ukraine a $400million military aid package. They are also an EU member and that allows them to use EU military funds for EU made weapons. So you probably could get 10planes or so going to Ukraine.
Obviously weapons matter as well, but those are not Swedish made, but German and American. No reason the US can not finance some Sidewinders for Ukraine for example.
Gripen is designed to be easy to maintain and use roads as runways, which makes it better for Ukraine then F16. However the production line is not as strong and most users will not send theirs to Ukraine. The only NATO users are Sweden, Czechia and Hungary. Hungary is not going to send any and Czechia has 14 leased ones. So only Sweden might actually be able to spare some.
2months ago CovertCabal did a video counting the tanks Russia has left in storage. He came to 700 good conditioned tanks. Obviously Russia still has a lot more in service. However Oryx has Russian tank losses at 3368 tanks and the offical Ukranian estimates are at 8639 so even higher. The truth is probably somewhere between those two numbers.
However whatever it is, it shows that Russia just can not sustain those kinds of losses and they have to be more careful. Good news for Ukraine.
Yeah to spy on the others for Russia. Hungary is blocking every single sanction package on Russia. They do not send aid to Ukraine at all and even block aid shipments through Hungary. They also blocked Swedens NATO membership for ages.
That is not making loud noises, that is being a Russian puppet.
Russia only has $31billion worth of Yuan left in the national wealth fund, which also acts as the reserve of the Central Bank. So needing to sell $7.3billion worth of Yuan to stabalize the Rubel is quite a large burden and with it seeming to be too little, this is a giant nightmare for Russia.
The problem is not if Putin can finance the war, but how much and what he has to cut to do so. That is going to massivly increased the felt burden for the average Russian in the coming months.
The tankies often also get money from Russia. It is pretty easy to spot. If they do not attack the far right, they get money from Moscow.
done thanks
Seriously that is actually a problem. The gold is worth $23.7billion or so. Some of the rest will be in RMB, but I can not tell how much. Russia can always print Rubel and force its industry to take it.
You only need those soldiers, when you want to control, which targets Ukraine can strike. Otherwise it would be possible to train up Ukranians to do it
However given that Ukraine is on record to have blown up Nord Stream, which has obvious value to Germany as well, this is highly unlikely to happen. Taurus could also be used to strike Germany from Ukranian aerospace after all.
Are you seriously suggesting that Gaza is the only problem the Democrats have?
This is what you do, when you want to take votes from the Democrats. If you wanted to built up real power, to challenge the Democrats from the left, you have to win local smaller elections first. That means city council, house of representatives, state level politicians, school boards and so forth. You focus on the most left leaning regions, so you can actually go first past the post. The Greens do not do that. They run in FOUR elections in California this year. That is the largest blue state, with some very left leaning areas.
Also once you sit in congress, councils or whatever, you need allies, unless they win a majority. So in most cases that would mean winning the furthest left seats and having to work with a more centrist party, to change things. In the US that would be the Democrats. In some countries there are deals made to not run candidates in certain districts, to make sure left parties win. That just happened in France for example. No reason those deals could not be made between the Democrats and the Greens.
Also Gaza can only be solved by becoming president. Jill Stein is not going to win the election and everybody with half a brain should no that. So the goal of running, should be to show what the Green Party stands for in local elections. Nobody can solve Gaza when sitting on a city council in the US, however they can built bikelanes, promote renewables, improve public transit, cheap dense green housing and so forth. Jill Stein does not mention those at all. She should, to help out the local candidates, which they are not running. It also means less issues the Democrats might copy. After all who cares, if the Greens or the Democrats pass good laws, as long as they are passed.
Attacking the Democrats from the left is just going to hurt the Democrats, which helps the Republicans. Instead the Green Party should either try to built an alternative or push them towards the left. Right now it is obvious that they just want to help the Republicans.
Correct, but Germany would be able to send them and give permissions for them being used to strike into Russia.
Never stop an enemy, when they make a mistake.
Just look at Jill Steins Twitter. She is basically Gaza and attacks on the Democrats. She exclusivly attacks the Democrats. No attacks at all on Trump or the Republicans in general. She also has no problem with climate change or enviromental problems. That is very intressting for a supposed Green Party.
Other countries with similar electoral systems have Green parties with seats in national parliaments. Compare that with the UK Green Party. They are perfectly able to not just talk about Gaza, but also about UBI, more renewables, public transit, 4 day workweek and so many more left issues.
The Moscow region is a net importer of electricity and both of those power plants are massive. However they also have a lot of power plants. After all the population of Moscow and Moscow Oblast combined is 21million.
An initially Russian company, which moved to Dubai, which is most popular by all sorts of right wing Russian propagandists and used by the Russian military. Chances are pretty good that it is controlled by Russia at this point.
If you want a better alternative try Signal or XMPP.
Those are basically small self flying stealth jets. Just to give you an idea.
KA-52 cost 20million, but offers fairly little which could not be had for less using drones or artillery and fighter planes are not much more expensive, but are more capable.
