You would regret that. Or would if you were alive.

in an effort to kerb rampant inflation, interest rates were held at a staggering 21 per cent since October, before being cut marginally to 20 per cent this month as pressure eased slightly.

Inflation has largely been driven by sanctions creating higher import costs. Wage growth has also soared to a 16-year high due to labour shortages caused by syphoning off workers into the defence sectors and the military.

Moscow's Higher School of Economics estimated that there was a deficit of 2.6 million employees at the end of 2024.

You're mistaking it for the nasty-ass American and Canadian stuff.

This is the real thing. I'll be eating it in a couple of weeks, in a seaside hotel with an unlimited breakfast buffet, in my favourite town in the world.

There's plenty. And Lincolnshire bacon is edible too.


At market value. It's a premium product, many times better than that rank 'bekon' stuff.

They're imitating a superior product. Their 'bekon' doesn't have the good bit in. It may as well be Canadian or American stuff. Much worse.

A bit like their use of Gobelin and Travertina when they mean nothing of the sort and saying they work in 'gastronomia' when they peel taters in a canteen

F16. Where a foreign country sources its equipment is not your business.


Yes. Ukrainian pilots are very well trained. One reason the r.SSians are doing so badly.

Why not?


He didn't.


You don't get to decide who is or isn't the Pope.

If the 'validity' of the leader of a religious denomination somehow depends on them irrationally hating the same people that you irrationally hate, looks like you've missed the point of that religion.

Are they in the room with you now?

And this thread isn't about Texas or anywhere else in that country.

Quite a lot of good coverage about r*SSia's losses and failures today.

Despite having one of the largest militaries in the world, and despite the assumption that Ukraine could be overrun in a matter of days, over three years on Russian forces have taken barely 20 per cent of the country, Russia has been invaded in turn and losses have included not only the one million casualties - including over 500,000 dead - but more than 10,000 tanks, 21,500 armoured fighting vehicles, 41,000 other vehicles, 24,500 artillery pieces and 370 aircraft including a fair wedge of the strategic nuclear bomber fleet.

To put this in some perspective, 10,000 tank losses is a figure greater than the most heavily produced German tank of the entire Second World War.

Clearly, the key feature of almost all these wars is barely comprehensible levels of casualties. Anyone reading this catalogue of death and destruction - with the accompanying high proportion of defeats - could be forgiven for thinking that Russia is simply not very good at fighting wars. And bluntly, they'd be right.

500 missiles!


Tough tamale. It's none of your business


It's not a 'conflict' though is it....

It's an illegal and unprovoked invasion of a sovereign country by a pariah state.

And it's not going well for you.

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 23 [1012]

And now Poland has had to scramble jets. The Orcs used 500 missiles to down one Ukrainian F35.

[Due to the attack by the Russian Federation carrying out strikes on objects located in the territory of Ukraine, Polish and allied aviation has begun operating in our airspace," said a statement.

Just when you thought the Orcs couldn't get any more squalid in the way they treat their young men:

Into the chaos of no man's land ride the Russian soldiers. Flying across the steppe at 50mph on cheap Chinese motorbikes, their objective is to breach Ukrainian defences and cause havoc behind enemy lines.

But few will ever make it. Most are picked off by drones or artillery fire. Some self-destruct by crashing in the mogul field of shell craters. The life expectancy of those who do survive the journey is little improved, stranded and surrounded by the enemy as they are.

"Basically it's a suicide mission," Yevhen, a lieutenant captain in Ukraine's 28th brigade, said flatly. "Because they never come back."

Nonetheless, these latter-day cavalry charges - on what the Russian army refers to as its "iron horses" - are a growing feature of Moscow's military strategy, in response to the ever greater pervasiveness of drones, which account for up to 70 per cent of all casualties.

At least the dogs in no-man's land won't go hungry.

The orcs always try to deny things.

They don't do it well and nobody beliees them.


Something they really ought to be used to by now.

Lovely news

Saturday's pre-dawn strike on the Kirovske base, in occupied Crimea, targeted Russian aircraft, air defence systems and storage facilities for ammunition and drones, according to Ukraine's security service.

"Available data indicate the destruction of multi-purpose and attack helicopters Mi-8, Mi-26 and Mi-28, as well as the self-propelled anti-aircraft missile and gun complex Pantsir-S1," an official told the Associated Press.

We all are, however there's a strange kind of gloom among all of them, probably emanating from a whirlpool in the Baltic with Cthuluski at the bottom.

It's very rare though, and of course never a main dish. And not at least weekly.


That sounds interesting, like a gratin.


Klopsiki in dill sauce goes down well, as do baked cheesecakes.

This is a fair comment however Poles are the exemplar of those.

Georg Mikes (who was last in Poland in 1939) wrote about the unhappy expressions on people's faces on trams in Warsaw, people looking as if they wanted to be anywhere else except that.


Miserable buggers too.

It is quite a revelation. Unless the ones I've served them to many times over the decades are just being polite. That and hungry since there are never any left.

Yorkshire pudding too. Always goes down very well, especially if it's done properly.

Glamorgan sausages always go down very well in PL. I do them with Cheddar and a bit of Parmesan though rather than Caerphilly. A milder one lie, that would be closer to the Polish taste though.
