No shit sherlock. It would mitigate the problem of logistics that Ukraine is having. The problem is the US can't manufacture those cheaply. Try checking out the price of an Excalibur GPS round. So of course the US isn't sending any. You are lucky enough to be getting GPS guided MLRS rounds.
The War in the Ukraine

- Start date
It has been a while since The Copium Zone put a massive cope article in a while, but here we are. Apparently Russia not having enough operational subs, somehow is an Ukranian victory
Now we know who revived the "Russia is running out of missiles" narrative, also.
If it is a Kh-22, that's a 1ton warhead crashing into the place at Mach 4. Could have just probably destroyed the place on kinetic energy alone

Major cities like Melitopol, Kherson and even Mariupol has electricity. where do you think biggest Nuclear plant and thermal plants operating?. only old industrial areas are destroyed. they will be rebuild or may be rebuild to some thing different.
but these are minor things in overall context. it is integration of water and Agriculture of Ukraine and Crimea thats the prize.
Ukraine used to export $80b a year exports mostly Agriculture/Minerals. that value is before the rise of Grain prices to current level. Now with larger investment and land area of Crimea included the value of Agriculture will multiply.
why you think Agriculture is 1% modern of economy?.
you may want to look closely to Europe / Turkey to understand the cost of living now when they are in German system and those countries had opportunity to develop in low cost environment with massive investment from Persian Gulf.
this person was worth $4b early 80s and he not consider Royal.
I think Russia has enough clout to sell anything.
Germany can absorb high commodity prices but it does not mean German vassals can absorb it.
Crimea has world class infrastructure now and that is before the abundance of water at right time that can create agro industry. construction still going.
Just wake up and found out i have been missing out 7 pages since i last active on the thread
What has happened? Any super substantial breakthroughs at the moment? Did Lisitschansk and Donetsk cauldron already closed??

If Putin decides to cut off gas to Germany on July 1:
The suspension of Russian gas means losses in the first six months of 193 billion euros for Germany
A sudden cut in gas supplies from Russia would lead to a 12.5% decline in the German economy, and 5.6 million people would lose their jobs.
This is the result of a study presented by the Bavarian Business Association on Tuesday. "The federal government has already announced the level of gas alarm," said Bertram Brosart, managing director of the association. "Russia's actions remain unpredictable."
The calculations made by Prognos AG, an economic analysis company, are based on the suspension of gas supplies from 1 July.
"The dependence of the German economy on Russian gas is underestimated," said Michael Boehmer of Prognos AG.
The consequences would be:
► Sectors directly affected, including the glass industry, steel processing and the food industry. These sectors will have to bear a loss of 49 billion euros. This corresponds to 3.2 percent of total value added in Germany.
► Losses would affect production and supply chains in other industries. Losses of 144 billion euros are expected in the second half of 2022, a drop of 9.4 percent.
► Together, this leads to losses of € 193 billion over six months.
► 5.6 million people will lose their jobs
Boehmer: "Germany will fall into a deep recession."
The Ukrainians fled, but a small number were surrounded.
Does the western world want China to choose to help Russia?
This is the news at the beginning of the war. It seems that some people really want us to be on the opposite side.If this continues to happen, I can only wish the western world “have a good luck”.

They left Severodonetsk for the most part towards Lysychansk but they are currently stuck there for the most part. Most of the heavy equipment seems to have retreated like last week towards Bakhmut but most of the men are stuck at Lysychansk still. The Russians probably allowed them to withdraw so they wouldn't have to do heavy fighting inside the Azot plant. I for one would not want to do combat near nitric acid. I would rather fight with sticks of dynamite next to gasoline. It is that bad.
China does not want to disengage from the global trade system but the idea they will just passively accept every single US demand is callous behavior on the US' part. The US likes to engage in salami slicing tactics and this is how we got to the Ukraine situation in the first place. The US should cool down or they risk really getting China against them too.
Most of Russia is worthless ice desert. The black sea coast of Ukraine is worth a lot more than the same area would be in Siberia. The agricultural industry alone will give Russia a huge international influence.
Ukraine conducted an online census in 2019, finding that the population was 37 million, 20 million women, 17 million men, 20 million of which are working (or military) age. Since the war started, about 8 million people have left Ukraine and 2.8 million returned (). Most of the refugees will be working age women. The recent attacks on civilian targets in Kiev should increase the outflow of people again, but they should still have a few million military age men.
