  1. 50 billion > 2 billion. That’s like being six months behind on your monthly McMansion mortgage payments, and your bank demands that you sell your mountain bike to reduce the debt.
  2. I hate to wait for the test results. Fortunately, the app that my providers use often posts test results within hours. Especially labs. I know that some providers will not post test results until the physician reviews them so that he or she can tell you any potential news that would otherwise freak you out. But always a bunch of fun to see the NED if that happens.
  3. The route taking longer directly results in a reduced volume of oil being transported over a time frame, all while making the trip more expensive and therefore less profitable for Russia. What started out as a war funded with a gigantic Russian rainy day petrodollar fund has turned into a war being funded by payday loans at usurious rates.

  5. I see no mention of the nurse practitioner, so hard pass.
  6. November 19….
  7. You have to wonder if most are behind the war, because most Russians would assume whatever answer they give is recorded by the state to their possible detriment. But just like Newsmax or Fox, there are lots of people who simply believe whatever state run television tells them. There will always be a hard-core group who believes every lie that comes out out of the Kremlin. But I’m sure there are a ton of people who simply don’t want to be arrested or have their meager employment opportunities forever ruined with the wrong poll answer. We get to boo and yell at our representatives in Townhall meetings. That gets you a jail cell in Russia. I have no earthly idea how you can get a sense with the Russian public truly feels.
  8. I believe a 6% figure is woefully less than the impaired refining capacity at this point. I would love to know the date and source of that figure. I don’t think that a 6% reduction would result in a nationwide fuel crisis so severe that it requires purchasing refined gas from China. I would think at least 25% by now, and very likely more.
  9. What had to worry US planners is the possibility that by helping to destroy Russia thoroughly, all they would be doing is transferring a large part of Russia’s massive natural resources to China after it seizes large parts of eastern Russia - or at least those parts of Eastern Russia to which China currently has a historical claim. it was/is probably a valid concern that if Ukraine succeeded too successfully, Russia would use tactical nukes to counteract that success. With other countries you could discount that possibility, but Russian leaders are such self-interested lunatics focusing only on their own survival, that the well-being of their citizens - or their country - or their neighbors - or the world - is not one of their considerations in the decision to deploy those weapons
  10. No offense, but most who follow this thread have spent years following the war rather closely, and if you have no idea what’s going on, you should go back six months and start binging the thread. It’s like popping up in the football thread and then asking if people could explain what conferences various teams are in. I mean, it is certainly a legitimate non-trollish question, but also sort of a thread derail asking for the most basic information when you have AI on your phone and in five seconds you can have those answers. Edit: my response sounded far more dick-ish than I intended. My apologies. This is the answer to my 10 second question to my phone. “Why is nothing being done to stop the sale of oil from Russia to China and India?”
