I don't think it is. > Ukrainian forces have been able to take out Russian tanks using the Javelin anti-tank missile system being supplied by the U.S., and a lighter, more easily transportable…

on average. You miss 70% and you may need 1-3 hits. (smoke or other protection, tank engine maybe cold etc.) Tanks with active protection are even better. You hit less than 10% with nlaw. Newest Javel…

better comparison is that fully equipped tank, with a trained crew, maintenance and logistics is 10mln. To shoot eliminate a tank you need about 7 shots from a NLAW and about 4 people that need very l…

I think there will be more war. In the future wars will be fought with drones - you don't sacrifice many young people. One could make an argument that fertility rate of 1.8 is a good thing. There…

Invest, but where and how?

> torture is morally acceptable? Someone stole the car with the baby inside. Police caught the thief, but there is no car or the baby. There is a heatwave and the baby can last max 2h in the car. T…

That's why call it Putin's war. Russian didn't vote for it.

and mining in Siberia will be price competitive for max 15 years.

One possibility is to evacuate through Armenia or drive to Finland.

> Visegrad countries have refused for years to help with the inflows from the Southern border People have this incorrect perception that governments are all powerful. The government in Poland did…

No, we cannot. It seems the war will continue, which given current influx it will result in 12mln refugees, about 5mln in Poland. We don't have housing, schools, hospitals for 5mln people. This i…

nukes is the best things that happened and the reason why there is not world wars anymore. You can make an argument that Izrael should give 3 or 4 warheads to Iran. It would de-escalate the proxy wars…

a lot of business will be bought up by Chinese for pennies.

and warning is a step forward.

True, but in war they could add a warning to the website.

Ukrainians already have, there was a counter attack in the north of Dombas

That's why I'm a big believer of modular nuclear reactors, where active cooling is not needed.

There isn't one. Maximal theoretical damage (not practical) would not end civilisation.

Ukraine is a nuclear state[1] that temporarily doesn't have nukes - they gave all to Russia. [1]Budapest Memorandum was not fulfilled, so Ukraine regain their status of nuclear state.

demonstration nuke - it's called tactical nuke, which is different to strategic nuke. Imagine Ukrainian army winning and move towards Russia and Belarus. Putin may decide to fire a tactical nuke …

Even if all nukes would go off (spread evenly) they would not kill everybody. The worst case scenario of global worming would not kill everybody. People living north of 40o will survive.

North stream 2 has very little to do with this whole conflict. Because mining is quite expensive in Siberia, Russian gas may not be price competitive as soon as 2030. Renewable energy is getting cheap…

Without natural resources Russia GDP would be lower than Polish. I think the whole reason for this war is the green transformation of the world. Military dictatorship played the wrong game and didn&#x…

A pice of trivia: in Polish it should also be Kowal (Koval). Land owners were taking the names of the places they owned, so if you owned a village called, called Paris, you took the name Pariski (adje…

You can see on some clips how low there were flying - well within the range of manpads. As I said, it could be because they don't have a good high precision munitions.

yes, it seems they changed the strategy to Aleppo/Grozny
