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!

Ok so I lied...a little (revised)

When we began looking at farming in 2013/14 as something we both wanted to do as a "second career" we invested time and money to understand what sector of farming was profitable.  A few things emerged, First, high-quality, source-proven, organic farm products consistently have much higher profit margins.  Secondly, transformation accounted for nearly 80% of total profits, and production and distribution accounted for 20% of profits: Farmers and retailers have low profit margins and the middle bits make all the money. A profitable farm operation needs to be involved in the transformation of its produce.  The low-hanging fruits: cheese and butter.  Milk, generates a profit margin of 5% to 8%, depending on milk quality.  Transformed into cheese and butter, and the profit margin rises to 40% (Taking into account all costs).  Second:  20% of a steer carcass is ground beef quality.  The price is low, because (a) a high percentage of the carcass, and (b)...

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 ...

Janet Yellen from China supporter to Hawk...

There is rarely serious news in the world these days, it seems that most newspapers are filled with headlines and little else, and then Ms Yellen went to China.  Secretary Yellen has long been known in the Biden administration as the voice of moderation when dealing with China, yet as her trip which concluded yesterday a hawk was born:  She warned the Chinese against dumping goods in the United States.    fighting words! The American administration is very concerned about the lack of Chinese domestic consumption.   Even before the COVID-19 epidemic, there were already the beginning signs of a slowdown, automobile sales were off.   China is facing domestic deflation (a clear sign of collapsing demand) China imports few consumer goods, they import raw materials and intermediary goods.   It seems that the American administration is concerned that the Chinese administration will dump consumer goods abroad to keep its manufacturing machinery ...
