Special Thread: Yanayojiri Mgogoro wa Ukraine na Urusi. Nini chanzo na hatma ya mzozo?

PARIS — France and the United Kingdom both announced important hikes in their defense budgets this week. But where the UK remained vague as to what the extra money would be spent on, France gave precise details about how it plans to spend the extra euros.

Under a new budget proposal, France’s defense budget in 2023 would be €43.9bn ($42.2bn), an increase of €3 billion ($2.89 billion, a 7.4 percent raise) on the 2022 figure. That continues the upward trend in defense spending that started in 2017, moving the defense budget up 36 percent from €32.3 billion ($31.1 billion) in 2017 — and meeting the NATO requirement for 2 percent of GDP to be spent on defense


In the UK, Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said in an interview on Sept. 26 with the Sunday Telegraph that defense spending would effectively double by 2029 would reach £100 billion ($107 billion) compared to just £48 billion ($51 billion) today. And this despite the tanking pound and general economic turmoil created by new Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng’s mini-budget, announced on Sept. 23.

Russia kuipatia Afghanistan Mafuta na Chakula

[emoji1023][emoji635]Russia will supply Afghanistan with grain and fuel.

This was reported to @rian_ru by the Russian Foreign Ministry.

While the West was shouting about how Ukrainian food would save the world from hunger, Moscow and Kabul agreed to supply 2 million tons of wheat per year.

However, unlike Ukrainian corn, Russian grain will go to a really starving country, and not to the tables of Europeans.

The EU should be even more annoyed by the supply of Russian energy resources to Afghanistan — these are 2 million tons of gasoline and diesel fuel and 500 thousand tons of LNG.

Apparently, utility bills will be lower in Kabul this winter than in Brussels.

[emoji298]️Ukraine liberates Novoselivka village in Donetsk Oblast.

The National Guard of Ukraine reported on Sept. 28 that its service members, along with the 81st airmobile brigade, had liberated Novoselivka, a village in Donetsk Oblast. They also captured a Russian armored vehicle.

Zelensky thanked Erdogan "for the unwavering support of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine, as well as for the principled position on non-recognition of the illegal pseudo-referendums that Russia held in the occupied territories."
 
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov explained that the damage to the pipelines posed a “big problem” for Russia as it had essentially lost its gas supply routes to Europe.

Both lines of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline were pumped full of gas and were prepared to deliver it to Europe at the time of the alleged explosion, said Peskov, adding that “this gas is very expensive and now it is all going up in the air.”

Peskov also noted that neither Russia nor Europe had anything to gain from the destruction of the pipelines, especially Germany, for which this incident poses a threat to the future development of its industry, as well as its profitability and competitiveness.

American LNG suppliers, on the other hand, have been making incredible profits after having multiplied their deliveries to the European continent, Peskov pointed out, adding that these companies are “very interested in maintaining these super-duper profits in the future.”

While no suspects behind the incident have officially been named, the Kremlin spokesperson advised against making any official announcements before a proper investigation into the incident is carried out.

Peskov did, however, draw attention to US President Joe Biden’s statements from early February, when the American leader threatened to “bring an end” to Nord Stream 2. “What the US president meant by that, we don’t know,” admitted the Kremlin official, but highlighted the “borderline insane hysterical-euphoric reaction” of Polish officials who have already thanked Washington for sabotaging the pipeline.
The Kremlin’s response comes after some European and Kiev officials, including President Vladimir Zelensky’s adviser Mikhail Podolyak, suggested that the attack on the pipeline was a “false flag” operation carried out by Russia in order to make Ukraine look bad and to further drive energy prices up in the EU.
However, after the former Polish FM publicly thanked the US for the apparent sabotage on Twitter, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova urged the EU to treat the US as the possible culprit behind the attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines. She said Moscow would call for a UN Security Council session over the incident.

Overused kama zile howitzers zao zinazotumika sana hadi kupasuka gun.

Au ni missile imekuwa deformed kutokana na utunzaji mbovu kwenye ghala. Niliona video nyingine ya S-300 inafyatua missile inazunguka angani na kudondoka hapo kwa kasi. Missile ukiitunza vibaya ukishaigonga zile tails au fins zikapinda kidogo tiyari ushaharibu trajectory ambayo huwa imepimwa.

Ama ni design flaws. Poor manufacturing design na total quality management inapelekea kuzalisha missiles kama hizi au upate missile ambayo ni dud. Kila silaha ina rate yake ya kufanya kazi na kuna errors zinajulikana kutokea.

Hakuna 100% perfect ila Russian weapons zina malfunctioning rate kubwa. Na hujeruhi au kuua wanaozitumia, au system inaharibika kwa detonation
 
USD bado tunayo sana. Zile kelele za mwanzo zilikuwa za amateurs wa mambo ya dunia humu. Nakumbuka tulivyokuwa tunatishiwa mara Saudi Arabia inanunua kwa Yuan, mara Russia kaanzisha mbadala wa SWIFT, dola itapotea. Leo tuko hapa bado dalili hamna, hakuna cha BRICS wala SWIFT
