Posted: 01:53 - 23 Jul 2022 Post subject: When is a war not a war? |

I really am confused with this Russia/Ukraine crap.
If I fight a war, I fight to win. I don't give deals to people to remove grain.I sell it to any country thet wants it and will pay me, and many will pay.
When we fought the 2nd world war we didn't say it was not nice to use any overrun comodities.
I really think there is some tin foil hat things happening here.

Ahh, but remember that it suited both sides in WW1 and WW2 to keep an unencumbered trading facility, i.e. Switzerland. Money is always more important than war. ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

Tin foil hat....
The Russians calling the war not a war but a "special operation" reminds me of the Malayan Emergency.
They couldn't call that a war as there would be no insurance coverage on the damaged plantation assets etc. Maybe this whole thing is one massive Russian insurance scam, who knows what coverage they have on all those old T72`s and BMP`s..... ____________________ Past:NRG50,AF1125(x2),NSR125RR,ZZR250,CX500,VFR400,KR1S,ZZR600(x2),CB400N,YZF1000(x2),KH125,Z200,FX400R,CBR954RR(x2)GPZ500S,GT550,VFR750F(x2),RD350N,XR650R,CBR600F,CB250,KDX250,YZF750R,CRM250,400EXC,KLR650,TTR600RE,DR350S,R100GSPD,RGV250,VMAX1200,DL650 Present:G650XC,C12,KZ750,1190ADV |

What of the video on Rhyno's thread: that in a generation the Russians won't have the conscripts available to fight a major war limited security action as the age demographics are shifting against them
Plus Putin gets all misty eyed about the old Soviet Empire days, the iron curtain surrounding Russia is utterly shattered on its western border - NATO creeping eastward - when along comes the weakest American president possibly in history with his hand firmly in the Ukrainian till.
Way too many ppl knew this would happen in the smoke* filled back rooms IMHO.

I wonder how many Russian nuclear ICBMs are actually operational? No where near as many as they'd like to brag if they're maintained as well as their Ukraine invasion vehicles

I'm starting to wonder if the whole point is to burn out the Russian war machine early

I don't think the elites source many of their services in the same places as the rest of us. Eveything they need seems to be pretty bespoke from service suppliers the rest of us couldn't hope to afford anyway. There is already a pretty thorough two-tier system in operation - I'm sure one much smaller tier can be preserved. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

And that's MY point. The vast majority of people aren't supplying the elites with services. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
