Will be interesting to see if islamic jihad kicks off in the Russian caucasus.
Have been waiting for the jihad shoe to drop. Will US go all out on promoting that stuff, or would it get in the way of exploiting central Asian resources, now that Russia is so weak?
Or they may focus on Iran and leverage the unrest there?

What are the chances Putin further restricts energy supplies to Europe during winter?
Can he do that , further, without cutting to Hungary? And Serbia. And reasonably sizable russian-sympathic population (but not current govt) in Bulgaria?
I dont know the answer to that.
I've found the gas pipelines reporting to be quite lacking. Far too simplistic, the only simple pipeline geopolitically are the 2 nordstream ones, and they are already gone.
There are 2 big-ass mainline pipelines running right through Ukraine that have kept running right through the war. Got to be a reason for that. Probably that it is Hungary main supply.

Is Hitchens a genius or an arsehole?

@antipodean said in Ukraine:
@MiketheSnow Well, he's not wrong is he?
I like him and I think he's one of the smartest and shrewdest cookies out there
Was curious if it was just me

Joey B Toonz is doing a great job of documenting the downfall of western civilisation.
Now that the war in Ukraine is a year old let’s look at the outpouring of narcissism that accompanied it.I can’t believe I forgot about that poem . It’s like something out of Don’t Look Up .
