Putin in North Korea

 I was watching a news broadcast a few days ago, and it showed Putin with the President/god/crazy guy Kim Jong Un from North Korea driving around in a new limousine that Putin had offered him.   A few things didn't make sense, first why in North Korea?  Strategically Russia is an unimportant place, plus he would be meddling with the Korea/China think.  Also a Russian car...really!

A few days ago, I heard that Putin was offering arms to North Korea, considering how well the Russian equipment was doing in Ukraine (not very well) I thought it was strange, then Kim Jong Un said that North Korea was at war with the United States because of Ukraine.   That made even less sense!

Now, two players are pissed with Russia; The Chinese really don't appreciate his meddling in a delicate situation in Korea/China relations -- China has already told Russia to go a dn pound sand on a new oil pipeline, as China has more than enough from other sources.  The other group he has pissed off are the South Koreans.

Until now South Korea has remained on the sideline of the Ukraine conflict, it is the world's third or fourth largest manufacturer of weapons and has stayed out so as to not provoke Russia, and now Russia is selling weapons to North Korea!   

The gloves are now off!

Spray painting Taylor Swift G650 aircraft (updated)

 First, a bit of paint will not harm anyone.  These climate activities are going to learn two things in the next few days:  (1) Trespassing at an airport is a felony almost anywhere in the world.  That means criminal prosecution.   (2) removing paint from an aircraft is expensive.   So these climate activists are about to find out the reach of the British criminal system and it will not be pleasant, the UK has very strict laws about that, I would be surprised if cleaning the aircraft of all the paint will cost less than $100,000.     I am sure that when they planned (premeditation) this little show they had a very valid logic to doing this.  Tonight, they are probably realizing the depth of their troubles.   I understand that in the UK it's a minimum one-year jail sentence.    Also, good luck travelling with a criminal trespass charge against you.  I am relatively certain that the airline industry will ...

Farm; Half year performance

 People appear to be genuinely curious. 2024 has been a record first half for the farm.  The addition of high tunnels has greatly impacted our revenues.   While we expected Q1 profits to be higher, it really was the second quarter that produced the goods.  The terrible weather has greatly impacted the production of high-end vegetables. Energy costs are now very stable and have become a fixed variable especially now that our bio digesters are fully dialled in.   Replacing some of our pre-dryer equipment was covered under warranty, and the new equipment is far better at dealing with gas moisture, and much better steel!   Our diesel costs are what they are! Our biologist and ecologist devised a new planting plan for our high tunnels that greatly reduced pests, especially slugs.   We have seen a 90% decline in sluggs this year, resulting in better yields.   It seems that several plants act as natural repelants and if planted c...

Britain, France and Egypt

 The voters realize now that the Conservative Praty desire to return to 19th-century dominance has driven its hatred of the EU.  The voters realize now that departure from the EU has accelerated Britain's decline and may soon make it irrelevant.  At best it will have to kiss American arses to maintain its standing.  For this, the conservatives were punished.  The decline of Britain was inevitable, competition from Frankfurt and Germany in Finance was bound to grow.  The core of Europe (aka Germany) is aging quickly Macron seems to be winning his bet, the left alliance that won the legislative elections will not remain united for long, since they disagree on about everything.   The Far right though it was about to assume power is once again relegated to the back of the bus.   It may draw its own conclusions, but not all of these are good for France.  The far-right has won nearly 1/3rd of the electorate, that is not something to be ig...
