    Railway is expensive to build.

    Edit: I love trains, it’s the best transport. But depending on the terrain, railway can be very expensive. Not to mention is difficult to add tracks today, because cities are densely populated and you need space that is not available. It’s much easier to buy and rud a couple of planes, than to add tracks.
















  • I don’t care for comparisons, but the comparison to 9/11 is not really accurate.

    This is a war between neighbouring countries, one of which calls itself a super power, yet has not only completely failed to achieve it’s goals, it has depleted itself doing it. It has practically destroyed all it’s weapons, which were before the war thought of as limitless, it has reduced it’s gas pump economy to ashes, it has destroyed it’s status and already lost it’s sphere of influence in Syria and elsewhere and … wings wheel above in silent loops… If you know what I mean.

    NATO is of course needed beyond Russia, stupid question. Plus Russia still has nukes, which would be safer if Russian state somehow survives this war.

    What I’m saying is no propaganda, just a very very sober assessment of the current situation.

    Russia has lost immediately when it was clear, that it cannot take Ukraine. It’s perceived status as a super power went down the drain and nobody is taking it seriously anymore. It cannot project power, it cannot hold a sphere of influence.
