Only a fool would trust Turkey.

During the elections, western countries were working day and night with Erdogan's opponent, to ensure that he loses the election. Only Russia supported Erdogan.

Guess who went back to being pals with the west after he won?

Actually, Turkey's location and geopolitical interest means it can neither fully align with the East nor lean wholeheartedly towards the West. So, she is playing both sides in an attempt to balance the geopolitical equilibrium.

The only thing that I hated with Erdogan is his misdeeds in Syria where he actively aided terrorist against the Assad regime.

🌍 A protest rally was held in Finland demanding the opening of the border with Russia

⚫️ Demonstrations took place in the Finnish cities of Helsinki, Tampere and Lappeenranta calling for the opening of the border with Russia, public broadcaster Yle said in a statement.

The action coordinated with the police was called “Back to normal”. It was organized by employees of the Alexander Society.

⚫️ It is reported that 100-110 people took part in the protests in Helsinki, about 30 in Tampere, and 70-80 in Lappeenranta.

✅ Earlier, Russian Ambassador to Finland Pavel Kuznetsov said that Helsinki wants to limit physical communication between Finns and Russians by closing the checkpoint.

I hope someone is reading this on this thread, cool. Many Finns depends on Russia for cheap commodities. Especially for those living within the border areas. Russia is just too important for Europe to neglect.

Countries advance fast in certain aspects of technology and lag behind in others. It is often cheaper to just import than to spend billions researching and developing something that others have already produced and perfected. Even if you start producing them yourself, it will be hard to compete with those that have been in the game for long. China was not producing any chips before but since Trump used it against them, they have been making tremendous waves in chip technology and I believe they will surpass the West and Taiwan in a few years. Expect Russia to do something similar.

Iran is another example. They used to depend on imports for their weapons not because they didn't have the mental capacity to build them but because it was cheaper to be buying them (in the short term) but after getting sanctioned, they are producing almost everything and even selling drones to superpowers.

Aptly out.

While it's true that smaller chips can enhance radar detection capabilities, the radar cross section of an aircraft like the F22 being 0.0001m^2 doesn't necessarily imply that the chips used in its radar system are nano-sized. The radar cross section is influenced by various factors, including the aircraft's design, surface materials, and radar-absorbing coatings. Additionally, advancements in radar technology have allowed for improved detection capabilities without solely relying on nano-sized components. Therefore, while smaller chips may contribute to radar efficiency, they are not the sole determinant in achieving a low radar cross section.

You're right. Chips have nothing to do with a plane being stealthy. That is purely on the stealth, radar-absorbing coating.

Contextual Contradictions:
Genesis 1:27: "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

"Genesis 2:7: "Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being."
These verses appear to present different accounts of the creation of humans, one suggesting simultaneous creation and the other indicating a sequential process.

Actually, that isn't contextual contradiction. cool I hate to delve into religious issue here because, this is t the right thread for such things. But, four the sake of others reading this, let me answer this perceived contradiction.

Yes, there were two accounts of man's creation. But each account only seek to explain the various stages that occurs in the creation of ONE man, not different men.

In the first account, Genesis 1:27, God created Man in His own IMAGE... Now, who is God? God is a SPIRIT (John 4:24), meaning man was originally created in spirit form.

But, God wants man to live on and dominate the Earth as the overlord. But, a spirit cannot live naturally on this Earth. Everything that should exist and thrive on this Earth must have earthly particles or characteristics. Such ih the natural law as ordained by God.

So, in Genesis 2:7, God made man from the dust (earthly particles) and BREATHED upon man, and he became a living SOUL.

The man created from the dust is the Body, the Breath God Breathed into that dust-man is the transfer of the SPIRIT into that body, and man became a living SOUL, meaning the ability to reason, think, and be active. This was how man became a tripartite being--body, soul, spirit. That is, you can, by the Spirit and soul, relate with God and connect to the supernatural 100% as man, and at the same time, also function and live here on Earth by the body fueled by the spirit and soul 100% as man. This is why man is the most unique of all the things that were created. No other thing or being has this ability.

So, you can see, there is no contradiction here.

That is why when man dies, the body goes back to the dust where it was made from, and the spirit (the real you) goes back to God who GAVE it. Ecclesiastes 12:7). Emphasis on the word "GAVE."

Where else or how did God gave the spirit? Genesis 2:7-the BREATH--transferring the Spirit man in Genesis 1:27 into the lifeless dust-man (body) to become a living being. cool

That's it, no contradictions here brother. cool

Now, I'm done with this religious takes, back to Russia and Ukraine brouhaha. cool

Well, Watchera was right. There is no real big difference in older and newer nodes of chips especially in the military circle, and the margin of difference is very tiny. Check the article below for some info. This area is suffering from a lot of misconception, which the article addresses.

By the way, Russia produce their own military chips, their main area of focus, and they're highly advanced. But they fall short in the civilian goods area where the west excels, e.g, portable phones and electronic gadgets.

US is restricting the exportation of advance chips to china in order curve the their technological advancement especially in the areas of electronics and phones in particular. Because that is where advanced chips are need.

The whole idea of advance chips is just reducing their size in order to put many of them in one place.

What ever 14nm chips produced in Taiwan today can do a 340nm chip produced 20 years back can do it as well. The difference is only the size.

If one is asked will putting smaller sizes chips reduce the size of a fighter jet ?
The answer will definitely be no.

lol advanced chips are not needed in advanced fighter jets. In fact they're not even used in military equipment. Advanced chips are used in gadgets that are small in size. The aim is to put many of them in small place.

Chips used for military purposes are usually many years behind what is latest in the the market this is due to dependability and sizes been right for what it is intended for

"Our future lies only in unity with our historic homeland!

The head of the Lugansk People's Republic, Leonid Pasechnik, recalled the events of ten years ago, when pro-Russian forces seized the building of the Security Service of Ukraine in the Lugansk region.

The head of the LPR stressed the historical significance of that day as the beginning of the Lugansk people's just struggle for what is most precious to them: their land, their faith, the ability to speak their mother tongue.

"We have proved that we will never allow anyone to deprive us of our freedom, of the opportunity to determine our own path," he said.

The head of the republic added that
The events of the Russian Spring have further united the citizens of Lugansk and confirmed the correctness of their choice.

How I wish the likes of Givi, Motorola, et al, are around to see this day. What they stood and fought for has yielded the desired results. Luhansk and Dombass has returned home. RIP to those warlords.

The European Union will attack Crimea and Odessa using Moldova as a springboard.

A country filled with people like them --- humans who have relatives and just want to live a normal life, will be used as a springboard.

Why can't they use Poland or Finland or Sweden as a springboard? At least, those ones are in EU/NATO. Why using a neutral country as a springboard?

What are the springboarders afraid of? 🤡🤡

American troops in Moldova become a backup plan for Ukraine:

NATO is considering a scenario of an invasion of Ukraine from Moldova to occupy Odessa and attack Crimea.

There is a threat looming over Moldova - the country could become a strategic springboard for the European Union. It remains to be seen whether such a plan will be successful if it is attempted. But Moldova is not the most stable country in the world, as its people are split into two camps - pro-European and pro-Russian.


Moldova itself has no strategic importance, but it could become a springboard and a starting point for a Western offensive strategy toward Odessa and Crimea. This could be part of a kind of Plan B brewing in Europe, which could be resorted to if the Ukrainian armed forces are defeated at the front.

However, there are problems with using Moldova as a springboard. The political situation in the country is very unstable, and if the Russian side really intensifies its forces, the pro-European faction may face a dim future. This could deprive Moldova of its status as an EU bridgehead.

And if the EU, through Romania and other countries, sends troops to provide security for the pro-European regime that is now in power, it could lead to internal conflict.

I can only feel sorry for Ukraine. No European country will risk it's major cities for the sake of Ukraine. They are just playing with Ukraine as a mere pawn in the wild game of geopolitics where the Russians are the Masters.

Remove the commonwealth and EU countries from UK and Germany, or former French colonies from France, and let's see what remains.
Most of them lack basic comprehension. Ask them how many French people or French speaking Africans are living in the UK? Language is the first point of consideration that most migrants put forward when relocating. Then you have standard of living, work availability, cultural background, and other personal considerations. Same reasons that most Nigerians would prefer to travel to the UK or US cause of the language and availability of labour, so also are 90 percent of the immigrants from the CIS countries and South East Asia that travels to Russia.
