    Yesterday tehre was a huge explosion in Zhytomyr, unclear what was hit, but I suspect it was something related to UA MIC.



    Rumors seem to say storage of thermobaric missiles but also probably other munitions. The explosion certainly looked impressive.

    I read an article that claimed Russia has built two new tank factories and their current output is can replace their losses but they aren't being sent to the front, instead they are creating a new reserve for a conflict with NATO.


    I wonder what they are smoking in the Kremlin if they believe in that eventual conflict with NATO. It might have been semi viable if they weren't entangled in Ukraine and the US kept out 3-10 years ago but today...or even worse in a few years that chance has come and gone.

    Ukraine is continuing to counterattack hard on the Sumy front. Several Russian reinforcement groupings across the border in Kursk were hit as well. Unclear if Russia will both continuing to maintain the Sumy bridgehead, it does not appear sustainable without reinforcements, which do not appear to be forthcoming.


    There was some indication recently that Russia isn't actually keeping up with replacements at the same pace as losses. That the actually deployed army size might have reached its peak at some point last year or early this one.

    I want a United States of Europe to happen. Especially if cuts into our corrupt politicians by decreasing their number. The nationalist and sovereign obsessed movements would be against it but somehow they always bring up Russian talking points, and they keep having Legionari in the crowd (our Nazis) so I really don't care what those people whine about.


    I'm approaching it from the other end, Brussel is more corrupt than Stockholm. But yeah it would probably be a step up for a lot of Europe if the system was just slightly better then the one the US uses. For the nordic countries...well probably not but it might be worth it for big scale efficiency in markets and defense. Especially if it starts like a foreign diplomacy and defense pact in the first step and gradually continues to the rest.

    I can't see it happening in my lifetime but I know how much it would annoy certain types and that alone would make it worthwhile haha


    Neither do I but a few years ago (well more like a decade or so ago) I said the same about a land war in Europe but it seems a lot can happen over a few decades. Could also see Ukraine entering the EU and potentially NATO after the war being a big shake up if it happens.

    At the same time it is gradually happening through lawmaking from Brussel that these days severely limit some stuff in member states, maybe it will never be official just de-facto eventually that big decisions are made in the EU while the local stuff becomes national.

    We're in an economic crisis. Our new government will probably enact austerity measures again, prices are going up again etc.

    Also it's really hard to get people to accept and understand that bullies need facing, not appeasing.



    If one is fair romania is also the second weakest economy in the EU zone. The ones that really need to step up are probably Germany and the UK (not EU but key to Nato at least air/naval defence in europe). To a lesser degree the smaller nations and of course Italy and Spain which are less wealthy and less threatened. Now I'm usually somewhat cautions towards EU power (at least keeping it out of the small detail decisions) but occasionally I wonder if a joint foreign policy, air force, navy and ground forces doesn't have something to recommend itself. It would certainly cut a lot of the inefficiencies out of the process. Of course that would be a big step towards the United States of Europe...which I have complicated thoughts about.
