What's the background?
I've always thought the MiG-29 is a really nice looking aircraft.Nice video of a Ukrainian MiG-29 deploying eight GBU-39s.
An enemy is at war with us.And the Kremlin has expanded its sabotage campaign against NATO beyond military infrastructure - to now directly attack commercial aircraft with terrorist bombings.
So they are gonna die of exhaustion? ))))))))

Starlink nodes start bursting into flames in space, collapsing all Russian communication networks.
Ohh... time for another economics grab bag post...
Two years ago noone expected Russia to beg Iran and North Korea for help.
At any rate, they are getting into the 'crumble zone';

Seems either the Russian Reserve bank has no more levers to keep the Ruble higher or they are allowing the Ruble to weaken. If its the second option they are prioritising oil revenue over inflation due to imports. Hard choices are being made right now.
Putin promised 50 Rubles to the USD earlier this year during the election campaign.
Other signs of danger in the Russian economy;
- mortgage rates are sitting at 24+% (with 50% down payment) and still climbing
- inflation is around double the official figures
- corruption is so bad that even free camo nets made by thousands of volunteers are being used on building sites
- there are discussions that companies, not the state, should build schools.. "since this is part of their social responsibility"
- Russian's non-oil exports are so low atm that shipping containers are piling up in kilometer long walls
- Russia is running out of working and safe passenger jets so they are asking companies in friendly countries to help out
So in other words:
“Give it another year, or two, and Russia will crumble ... "
But keep hope alive bud.
BTW, if the US wants Russia’s economy to collapse, why are they removing sanctions from 9 Russian banks to buy energy related items like renewables, oil, natural gas, timber, uranium from Russia?
Why is the US energy sector reliant on Russian energy? Why is the US allowing Russia to profit from US companies?
Publicly wagging their finger at Russia about territorial sovereignty while privately cutting backdoor business deals with them, and you dupes fall for it time and time again.
Jesus
First of all the USA is actually exporting more energy than it produces
Second there are a lot of other countries that are needing it to make it through the winter
If the USA did not ease up on some sanctions then it could affect people who are not even involved in the conflict
Go Linus!

you have allies with boat loads of uranium if it was really needed.A word of caution, while the US isn't dependent on Russian oil etc. It still imports Uranium fuel for US nuclear reactors because previous administrations from both sides of the aisle allowed the US domestic capability to both mine, and enrich uranium to wither away. Yup we messed up good allowing this to happen. We are working on fixing this, but it will take time.
https://www.state.gov/prohibiting-imports-of-uranium-products-from-the-russian-federation/#:~:text=This bipartisan legislative action prohibits,2028, consistent with the law.
Reminds me of the old joke's tag line, "You can't kill a Marine, you can't kill a Marine."So they are gonna die of exhaustion? ))))))))
Any update on whether Russia will lose against NATO or if Putin said something stupid?So in other words:

We have enrichment capacity, just not the monstrously excessive capacity we had during the Cold War.It isn't just uranium, you need it enriched so it can be used as nuclear reactors. The enrichment part is the bottleneck.
