incursion into Kursk

 The five day old incursion by the Ukrainian forces into the Kursk region, have shown the limits of Russian power, and also the flexibility of the Ukrainian arm Forces.

According to Russian sources, the Ukrainians have gone more than 40 Kilometres inside Russian territory. This morning the Ukrainians announced that they did not intend to keep the territory.

what the offensive of the past few days have shown is that Ukraine has decided to take its own initiative outside of what the OECD would prefer. It is evident that the Russians were taking their queue from European government that the Ukrainians would not invade Russian territory, the reason therefore why it was so poorly defended, this creates a huge headache for putting since he will be facing an obligation to Reinforce his territory in case Ukrainians pull the same stunt again.

according to news media, the Ukrainians have sufficient forces that they can rotate troops in and out of theater. The implication, therefore is that there is a depth of manpower in the Iranian army that doesn’t seem to be in existence in the Russian one this could mean that Russia have been far more important than anyone has ever imagined and they often mention figure of half 1 million last troops could already have been exceeded

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) ground beef requires process

JD Vance -- Buyer's remorse (update)

Senator Vance like all human beings is a complex person.   He wrote a powerful book that was even turned into an excellent movie.  His "memoir" Hillbilly Elegy talks about a man who grew up in some level of poverty -- not exactly true, but then who cares, it was still an excellent book.    Being the running mate of Donald Trump cannot be easy, first and foremost President Trump is nuts and lazy.  It has been reported from several sources that one of his ideas was to create a 2,000-mile moat between Mexico and the US and fill it with snakes and crocodiles -- -not kidding here!  The bleach against Covid, there was a lot.  Not only has been proven to be ignorant he is also famous for doing absolutely nothing.   Senator Vance brought two things to the ticket Ohio (a swing state) and youth.  He is not 40 yet.   He was a great "anti-age" foil against Biden and to an extent Trump who is not a young man either, at 78.    However, part of the problem is that Senator Vance li

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 slap them with no-fly status. Update;  It seems that what they threw on the airc
