Ukraine’s recent success

 Forgetting the hype for a minute, it is evident that Ukraine has been incredibly successful in destroying both Russian infrastructure, and several of its bomber fleet aircraft. According to defence sources, the Ukrainians were able to place several drone launching platforms, and modified trucks, that were able to send swarms of drones over Russian airfields hundreds of miles from the Ukrainian border. According to the Ukrainians, more than 40 aircraft were destroyed 2/3 of which were bombers, which is a huge problem for Russia. 

It means, the Ukraine has taken inexpensive drone launch Platforms and use them hundreds of miles for the border, destroying irreplaceable military assets.

what no defence chief will say now, is that the battlefield of the 21st-century share the same characteristic as a battlefield of the early 20th century. When the horse drawn Cannon, and the horseback cavalry, were replaced by truck pulled artillery, and tanks. The tool of the 21st century, to engage in modern warfare, are not the same tools that were used in the 20th century. Not only that, but war has democratized. The truth is not that the ho would be successful, it was that they could damage the international order until the players would come to the table and resolve the issue. Granted most of the issues were with Iran, but they were real domestic issues that are now addressed.

The truth is not that the Houthi's would be successful, it was that they could damage the international order until the players would come to the table and resolve the issue. Granted most of the issues were with Iran, but there were real domestic issues that are now addressed.

it’s almost impossible to quantify the impact. The war in Ukraine is having on the globes, arms business. If a simple pick up truck can carry 50 drones, that are launch remotely, I can attack to almost anywhere on your territory. In a way that will destroy your ancient war equipment, you’re already out of the fight.

Ukrainians have been using fibre optic attached drone for the past 18 months with incredible success. 5 km of optic fibre can easily be carried by a drone. And the signal cannot be interfered with. This reality, means that Ukrainian drones can Lawyer over battlefields until they identify weak points and attack ground troops with almost no loss of life on their part.

what people get wrong about tariffs

 The issue is simple. What percentage of the economy is dependent on tariff goods? The truth, is that the US economy is far more closed than people understand. People genuinely believe that all manufacturing has ceased to exist in the United States all given to China on the altar of woke policy the truth can be further from That statement. Only about 15% of US GDP is related to foreign trade. Of that amount, slightly more than half is from Canada in Mexico. And half of that is energy. What that means, is that about 7% of US GDP is tariff dependent. The proof in the pudding, is how little money tariff generates. People think that 30 or 50 billion is a lot it’s not in an economy that has $3 trillion. The impact on the US economy will be less visible but not absent. Inflation hasn’t occurred yet first because tests have hardly started to bite, but more importantly it’s such a small percent of the economy. Now certain things are critical. The rare earth metals from China were critical....

The end of Tesla?

 it takes a special kind of idiot, to think that he can antagonize his entire customer base, and think that it will not impact his business. When Elon Musk went to work for Donald Trump, and created the doge department, he antagonized every liberal, and these people represent 90% of his client base.That’s not a brilliant move. Now Elon Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollar, so he shouldn’t care a great deal, however, he needs to care because of several other issues. The cyber truck has been a disaster, most have had to be recalled because of defective glue, it’s not a truck, it’s not a car, it’s noisy, relatively uncomfortable, but great as a development platform. What Tesla has learned in making car manufacturing more seamless is truly amazing. The problem was that Elon Musk was so pissed with the Democrats, and with Joe Biden, in particular because of some slight, which were just plain stupid too. By the way, that he decided to support with hundreds of millions of dollar, ...

Demographics

 I am preparing a kind of family tree for our children so that they know where they came from.  In my family I am the only survivor, although my brother and sister died recently they were both in their seventies (a story I told already).    It was a fun process, but it provided more than that.  First, I married relatively young I was 26 when I married and nearly 30 when our first child was born.   I was looking at my ancestors.  On my mother's side, she had 6 siblings, Four died before the age of 30, two in war, and two from illnesses.  Only she and a single sister survived.   The two boys had a child each but they died in WWII, and the other sister died as an infant.   what is interesting is that every one of my mother's siblings had children in their early 20s.   I know that my mom was hardly 20 when my brother was born.    What is remarkable is that among our friends, we are the only ones to have fou...
