Off the Record / Re: Russo-Ukrainian War 2014-2...
Last post by Tamas - Today at 03:09:00 AMOn the other hand a reading of the "cabinet reshuffle" is that a further shift to a war economy is planned. Which would indicate the Russian leadership is not nearly as assured of their victory as Western commentators reading their propaganda are.

Last post by Tamas - Today at 03:03:32 AMI am guessing the Russians are thinking the offensive will be a success and this is why they moved against Shoigu now, would be much more difficult after a breakthrough.
But I am hoping we would see clearer news/footage of a big offensive succeeding.

Last post by Josquius - Today at 03:00:14 AMMy localest "big" non league team, Gateshead, won the major trophy for non league teams.
Hurray.
Especially good for them after they qualified for the playoffs to be promoted to the football league, only to be told they couldn't take part because their stadium lease (council owned) isn't secure enough.

Last post by Josquius - Today at 02:52:28 AMReally conflicting news on Kharkiv from some saying it's clearly just a distraction with very little actually behind it, and others screaming doom, massive corruption led to money that should have been spent on defences disappearing so the Russians are just walking in.
Also reading though that Russia has really hit the bottom with its equipment reserves and has nothing left. It's advertised numbers actually being a fraction of the available number due to the need to steal parts from several vehicles to get one going.
Russia is producing enviable amounts of ammo and drones... But is running out of artillery to fire the shells. Really an inverse of Ukraine.
I continue to be hit by how post apocalyptic this war is. The finest of modern equipment ground down and things reduced to trench warfare with the Sci fi element of drones on top.

Last post by crazy canuck - Today at 02:20:42 AMThe biggest factor in adults obtaining more education is that our economy has been transitioning away from resource extraction for some time.
But even younger people continue with training after university. At the British Columbia Institute of Technology, our largest vocational training institution, over 80% of it's graduates already have a university degree.
