First time I’ve seen comments on a RT article sound concerned. People posting how if the Kremlin can’t detect a UAV how are they going to detect and engage an ICBM.

more and more sanctions combined with an increased weapon flow to ukraine is the way to go. Eject the russians and then start negotiations.

Will be curious to see where Russia tries to re-insert them. It won’t be in another Five Eyes country. PNG-ing them lets them still be in play, so other countries can unwind their other networks if they aren’t simply sent home.

Ukraine doesn't do this, Russia does.

That is not the issue of defence spending but America not having a great healthcare system in general. Free market is great in many things if it is regulated to the bone on necessary things like healthcare. I can speak of the Netherlands that we on average spend less per person on healthcare with tax included than the U.S.

Wow, even the far-right sites are reporting that the BP guy is actually saying that profits are down and clean energy investments are down. This from the Daily Caller:
CEO Bernard Looney of British oil giant BP has expressed plans to scale down the firm’s green energy investments as some have struggled to meet expectations, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter.
Looney intends to deemphasize ESG objectives and reassure investors that the company is focused on using its competitive advantages — including in oil and gas — to maximize returns, the WSJ reported. Though he has expressed disappointment in the performance of some green investments, Looney has characterized the move as a short-term readjustment and a BP spokesman referred the WSJ to previous statements the company has made stressing its commitment to reducing carbon emissions.
BP, alongside fellow British oil giant Shell, has struggled to keep up with U.S. competitors, with shares in the U.S.-based Exxon Mobil nearly doubling since January 2020 while BP’s have climbed just 7%,

Reply to comment by extra2002 in Ukraine war: Zelensky says situation in Bakhmut worsening by jacobhong
No, this is bullshit.
Go check on Wikipedia how much gas Ukraine has. Even at best estimates if they exported it to Europe it would last for merely 12 months. If they only used it at home it would still deplete in less than 30 years. Their oil would last globally for a single day of use. It's really not much. Even if your theory had any basis (it doesn't) those discoveries happened 5 years ago, not in January/February 2022.
This has nothing to do with economy or security, it's all about fighting the spread of democracy in neighbouring countries, tightening his control over Russians and banning oppositions. Hell, Russia did much more damage to their economy which will last for decades than the tiny drop of Ukrainian gas or oil could do (even admitting Ukraine invested enough to extract it and prices where worth the investment).
By the way that's not my opinion but of former US Ambassador to Russia (and now Stanford professor McFaul) who knows Putin from more than 30 years.

Reply to North Korea’s Kim Jong-un sounds alarm on agriculture amid reports of food shortages by Johannes_P
North Korea is interesting.
They’re an agrarian state essentially, yet simultaneously are bad at farming and have pretty much been depleting their own soil since the regime came into power.

Chemical weapons are not designed to assassinate specific individuals. They are made to either kill or incapacitate large numbers of people at once.
The messiness is a feature, not a flaw. They used a military nerve agent to send a message. Like the mob does.

Putin can either leave completely now or face Civil War and his ass assassinated or worse for him, dragged through the streets and strung up. Ass assassinated, poetry for free there.
