What could be the explanation for this sharp increase in non-oil/gas revenues? Increase in VAT and sharp increase in inflation?

And so I bring you: Z gówna bicza nie ukręcisz. (You won’t make a whip out of a turd).
Meaning: It might be impossible to accomplish a given task with tools, personel or skills available.

This is not stupidity from where this government is sitting- and that is wholly in the pockets of oil and gas companies. The reactionary politics regarding green tech makes sense only from the point of view of the fossil fuel industry. To hell with the country’s (and the World’s) interests though…

The power of anecdotal thinking is unending.

A russian tourist was killed by a shark in the Red Sea a year or two ago.

The whole talk about Tomahawks is nothing but smokescreen and the whole world laps it up. A hundred ATCMS, a hundred Bradleys would be easier to absorb and use. Or extension of a single sanction. Trump’s administration is doing nothing by design!

Any data on construction?

Height requirements are pretty commonplace at ferrytides and rollercoasters.

He’s scared shitless because he knows nobody will be able to control the shitshow when the idol falls. They will all eat each other and it won’t be peaceful.

I need a fucking shower now.

As a wise man once said „The most dangerous place to be on Ukrainian battlefield is outside a tank”. Give them hell!

Extremely interesting read as a Pole with little knowledge about the Wołyń tragedy (mainly caused by lack of interest in scratching old wounds between us). Do you know any good publications from Ukrainian historians on the topic? Would love learn more.

Best I can do is oil shortages and homegrown Ukrainian long range strike capabilities.

Dude. Check the neighbourhood of the polish MoD…

The best defence will never be cost effective. The only economical answer is counter strikes. The hesitation of the West in supplying those capabilities to Ukraine is shameful. But in all out war with russia the math changes drastically in NATO’s favour.

This and Smarzowski’s Kler. Only thing we heard were people crying as quietly as possible.
