Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly warned that there can be no winner in a nuclear war, and that it should never be unleashed.

The Kiev regime is preparing a provocation related to the detonation of the so-called "dirty bomb" in Ukraine, unnamed credible sources in various countries, including Ukraine, have said.

A "dirty bomb", also known as a "radiological dispersal device," or RDD, combines a conventional explosive with radioactive material. Such a bomb typically uses dynamite or other explosives to scatter radioactive dust or smoke so as to cause radioactive contamination.

The sources argued that the purpose of the provocation is to accuse Moscow of using weapons of mass destruction amid the ongoing Russian special military operation in Ukraine and launch a global anti-Russian campaign aimed at undermining confidence in Moscow.

According to the insiders, the administration of the Eastern Mining and Processing Plant located in the town of Zholtye Vody in Ukraine’s Dnepropetrovsk region, as well as the Kiev Institute for Nuclear Research, was tasked with making the "dirty bomb", a process that the sources said is being overseen by Kiev’s Western curators.

The insiders added that the organizers of the provocation hope that if successfully implemented, the “nuclear incident” will prompt an extremely negative reaction from the international community. As a result, Moscow will lose the support of many of its key partners, while the West will again try to raise the issue of depriving Russia of the status of a permanent member of the UN Security Council and ramp up its anti-Russian rhetoric, according to the sources.

The claims come after the Russian Foreign Ministry underscored last week that Moscow does not threaten anyone with nuclear weapons, and that it is Western powers who use nuclear rhetoric, trying to make it look like Russia is preparing to deliver strikes using weapons of mass destruction.

That phenomenal idiot must've mistaken China for Australia.

China is in the Northern Hemisphere, which is now mid-autumn and would be having winter cold by December.

Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere, which is now in mid-spring and would be facing summer heat by December.

I guess they didn't teach geography and simple meterology in that phenomenal idiot's school.

The British will be cultivating a new farming crop. Chinese Solar Panels.

British farmers eye replacement for crops – Guardian​

Solar panels are more profitable than farming, the newspaper quotes industry representatives as saying

Landowners in the UK are urging whoever comes to power after Liz Truss’s departure this week to scrap the outgoing prime minister’s plans to ban solar farms on agricultural land, the Guardian reported on Saturday.

A landowners’ association told the newspaper that having solar panels on less productive land allowed them to subsidise food production during bad years, and provided cheap power for the farms and local areas.

Irkutsk is where they manufacture the Su-30. I heard reports the pilots were flight testing a newly manufactured Su-30SM2. There are claims both pilot and co-pilot died of hypoxia. Make of that what you will.

Irkut also manufacture civil aviation products. I will not be surprised if more experience labor is shifted to manufacturing civil aviation products. Similar shift may have happened in moving experience maintenance to zone of special military operations.
Su-30SM2 is now second tier product relative to Civil aviation and fighter lineup. i am not sure it make sense to continue manufacturing it. i have read Perm engine CEO interview. he mention they already at 120 PS-90A engines per year. initial target of PD-14 (including modifications to 12.5 to 16.5 tons) is 160 a year.
PD-8, PD-18 and PD-35 are separate engines. he explained it by separate gas generator for PD-8.

The copium just keeps on coming.

One look at the graph, you will understand why COSCO Shipping wants to hold some stakes of the Port of Hamburg. I don't think China has any nefarious intention.
