MonsterMonster,

Is this the same chain of Burek King in New Jersey?

US to send new $225 million military aid package to Ukraine, officials say (apnews.com)

The U.S. will send about $225 million in military aid to Ukraine, U.S. officials said Thursday, in a new package that includes ammunition Kyiv’s forces could use to strike threats inside Russia to defend the city of Kharkiv from a heavy Russian assault....

MonsterMonster,

I know you are not joking. On top of that Ukraine provides a suitable test bed for weapons research.

MonsterMonster,

When it was reported on the radio news yesterday they said “jumped into the engine”. I cannot find anything else to confirm if that’s true. Either way it’s horrific.

MonsterMonster,

For a few years now I’ve thought that the food industry will feature as the next controversy as tobacco has been. Years ago I read an article about High Fructose Corn Syrup, its history and its negative effect on the liver. I can’t find the original but this one comes close. Ever since I’ve avoided HFCS.

We then have hydrogenated fats that are considered bad for the body.

The bottom line is that these ingredients are produced to make food production cheaper but at the expense of a healthy diet. Industry sector lobbying helps these ingredients to the market.

MonsterMonster,

I heard that in the US she’s known as Moscow Marjorie.

MonsterMonster,

I suspect there should be a /s on the end there.

MonsterMonster,

There was a time that the UK government had China involved in the development of a new nuclear power station, Sizewell C. They corrected their mistake.

MonsterMonster,

Next up is Taurus from Germany.

MonsterMonster,

Competition was always going to happen it was just a question of when and to what degree. The established car makers weren’t going to sit around and watch Tesla take their market share. But the rise of Chinese car manufacturers hitting the EV market has been swift and brutal. These are huge companies that are generally unheard of in the West such as BYD.

Edit, the link is almost a year old so I suspect figures have changed a fair bit since.

MonsterMonster,

Here in the UK the price of a delivered newspaper is as high as £3.40 midweek (The Financial Times).

Your typical weekly rag could set you back between £7.80 to £22 per week.

The last time I bought a newspaper was about 10 years ago and that was to light a fire! Yet I avoid pay wall as I do not feel I’m getting as much as a physical paper.

MonsterMonster,

And they want to put solar farms on the fields that grow food.

Israeli advocacy star Eylon Levy launches private public diplomacy project (www.ynetnews.com)

After being dismissed from his position as English-language government spokesperson, Eylon Levy launched a new crowdfunding campaign on the JGive website in order to fund a private international advocacy project under his leadership, which will promote his and other spokespersons’ independent public diplomacy efforts. Four...

MonsterMonster,

It’s Mr Bean with a beard.

MonsterMonster,

Neoliberalism, or the pursuit of a small state through privatisation and cuts.

MonsterMonster,

Lol

MonsterMonster,

I can see hundreds of small businesses going under along with thousands of jobs because of these stupid import tariffs and fees. Yet they dress it up and justify it as something good. That income stream will dry up damn quickly when the imports stop along with exports.

Brexit has been a vote to repeatedly punch ourselves in the face.

MonsterMonster,

It’d be interesting to know what percentage of those that voted for Brexit actually knew what the Customs Union was. I suspect incredibly low. Yet Brexit got through on jingoism, populism and downright lies, oh and greed.

MonsterMonster,

The whole event of 7th Oct, as horrendous as it was, is now completely and utterly overshadowed by these evil events in Gaza. The whole thing is deplorable on both sides. This is pure evil.

MonsterMonster,

Mmmm… that reminds of this story.

Israel government spokesman Eylon Levy suspended after comments about Gaza aid (www.haaretz.com)

Levy’s suspension follows a tweet, in response to British Foreign Secretary David Cameron, that ‘there are NO limits on the entry of food, water, medicine, or shelter equipment into Gaza, and in fact the crossings have EXCESS capacity’

MonsterMonster,

Is that picture of Eylon Levy real? It looks as if he’s been caught red handed, oh wait.

MonsterMonster,

Russia will use this as bargaining for Russia to be allowed to compete under their flag rather than the individual neutrals that’s has been previously agreed and lob some cruise missiles at Odessa when everyone is watching the 100m final.

In all likelihood Russia will continue its murderous campaign on the region Olympics or not.

The thing is that Russia Ukraine is history repeating itself.

Finland was invaded by the Soviet Union (pretty much Russia so I’ll refer them as Russians) in 1939 resulting in the Winter War . This started Nov 1939 and ended in March 1940.

The Finnish put up one hell of a fight that caught out the Russians despite their superior numbers and military strength. It was the intention of the Russians to take over the whole of Finland but they suffered large losses.

The outcome resulted in Finland conceding land bordering Russia and signed the Moscow Peace Treaty. .

This is why Finland was reluctant to join Nato until now. Finland now in Nato is a big thing when you look at the past.

Consequently, Finland has a military that is finely honed to take on a Russian invasion.

Does this ring any bells?

MonsterMonster,

Massive respect to Simo Häyhä and the whole of Finland.

The significance of Finland and Sweden joining Nato is huge especially after reading about the Winter War .

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: history is repeating itself with Russia in Ukraine.

MonsterMonster,

This Trump, Orban, Putin triangle makes me think of the TV series The Handmaid’s Tale where the US slides into civil war and global isolation. Instead of the Sons Of Jacob you have Trump.

Seriously, if Trump is besties with Orban and he beats Biden to the Whitehouse the US is heading for very dark times.

MonsterMonster,

… a school desk.

MonsterMonster,

Whoosh

MonsterMonster,

When you pause to think that we still use an effectively 120 year technology to move us along yet tech in other areas has soared and superceded others it makes you wonder if it’s deliberate to help keep the oil industry going.

This is an interesting read.
