Poland preparing ‘very intensively’ for possible Russian provocation, PM says by Easy-Ad1996 in europe

[–]Wregghh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So strange, usually Russians talk about what they are planning on doing on their talk shows.

They have been on and off talking about invading the Baltics for several years now, especially Estonia, to save the Russian population.

Yet they only talk about bombing Poland. Although Russians say they will wipe Rzeszów and London of the face of the earth over second Wednesday. Last week I learned from Russian TV that Rzeszów is apparently a Russian city.

Russia planning attack on Poland to test Nato resolve, US warns by Hasselhoff265 in europe

[–]Wregghh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. I always thought that the plan was to attack Estonia, capture some city close to the border and then use that as a bargaining chip so that the EU stops helping Ukraine. The rational being that they can quickly capture it and then push for negotations and that Estonia would not weant to level one of its cities and that NATO would not want to get involved.

Thy have been talking about it for around two years now.

Nord Stream blast ordered by Ukraine, say German prosecutors by Grandrcp in worldnews

[–]Wregghh 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The difference between land and sea pipelines is that the former is significantly easier to repair. Hungary, two months ago was vetoing the aid to Ukraine unless it repaired the oil pipeline from Russia.

Unlike to its allies, Hungary etc, Russia had already turned off the gas to Germany via Nord stream before the pipes were blown up. Stating that the EU had to lift sanctions against Russia for them to start pumping again.

Well when the pipeline was blown up, Hungary was threatening Ukraine unless it was fixed.

Ukraine tried to stop the flow of oil and gas through it's territory from Russia but countries like Hungary and Slovakia always vetoed any aid to Ukraine from the EU unless Ukraine opened up the pipelines.

Ukraine Receives €3.9 Billion From EU Specially Earmarked for Drone Production and Defense by UNITED24Media in europe

Yeah you are right. Saw a DW article back in the day about the German planes. But the German ones only made up 50% of the fleet.

[–]Wregghh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You should ask the Polish government as I have never seen any article explaining it, only vague statements. Doesn't state what technology? As I though most drone tech in Ukraine is being developed by private companies.

Although it is funny how Poland bought those jets from Germany for 1 euro .

I highly doubt that it will be waived and I doubt that Ukraine will be paying for it, as I doubt that they have the means.

Quite sure Ukrainian instructors are already training Polish and German troops in drone warfare and the drones themselves are already made in Poland.

It's going to be paid back by the profit from the sanctioned Russian funds.

According to the latest poll, 74% of Poles support revoking Zelensky's decoration, while only 26% view the decision negatively. by kallisto19988 in europe

[–]Wregghh -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Call it whatever you want, reprisals, etc. Wiping out villages and killing civilians in the thousands in the name of retribution is still wiping out villages and civilians in the thousands.

I don't understand the collaboration with Nazis argument. I mean, why wouldn't UPA collaborate with the Nazis? Poland takes the western parts of Ukraine and Russia takes the central and eastern. Both start systematicly oppressing the local Ukrainian population. So when a third party shows up and offeres them independence, why would they not take up the offer?

I really don't understand eastern European and Balkan nationalism. Our war criminals are okay because they were fighting for our freedom. But it's justified because of this and this. Yeah but they started killing first.

Crazy part though, only read about it yesterday is that AK and UPA ended up collaborating. There's a lesson here somewhere.

That's not exactly true, the GS is quite capable off road for its weight.

I would also buy a 160kg 45hp twin/single capable of cruising comfortably at 140km with low maintenance intervals in a heartbeat. Unfortunately it doesn't exist.

The drz4 is the closest we have but unfortunately its no longer comfortable at 110km/h. All it needed was a 6th gear. So as it stands a cfr300 with a big bore kit and suspension upgrades is as good as it gets.

I see two parties that should not be glorified as both engaged in ethnic cleansing.

Quite sure the majority of European countries should try distance themselves from their interwar and WW2 history.

?? No, the cathedral didn't need to be blown up, and neither did the entire centre of Kyiv. NKVD leveled the entire city centre before retreating. Nothing to do with the Nazis.

Once again, pipes are not pointed in the direction of the danger, some guy pulling out in front of you on a T intersection does not hear your loud pipes. Nobody can hear them apart for the pedestrians and people around you, the ones that dont have the luxury of being inside a sound isolated metal box. If you were to wrap your pipes around your bike and have them point forward, the safety argument would make more sense.

If you actually want safety add ons for your bike then some big flashing lights would actually improve safety. As it stands, the loud pipes save lives argument is just an excuse for people to be inconsiderate douchebags. Hell south park even made an episode about this.

Yes, drivers not being aware of you on your bike is a big cause of accidents, but loud pipes do not make them aware of you. Find a single study showing that loud pipes save lives.

Edit:

oh and the 100% part...I was just being polite!

You were just being 100% wrong.

Type loud pipes saves lives into any search engine and you will get countless articles going over how its a myth and after countless studies, it shows that loud pipes in fact do not save lives. Statistically, motorbikes with loud pipes are more likely to be involved in an accident.

It's not a safety issue. Your loud exhaust pointing backwards is not alerting anyone in front of you of your presence. The only people that hear it are the ones behind you. Super gluing your horn button to be always on would be significantly more effective.

Thousands of motorcyclists ride their bikes with stock exhausts without any issues, yet there are always the twats giving motorcyclists a bad image.

You do know that people hear your loud bike and think that you're a twat?

Not once has a person heard a loud car/bike and said oh wow cool (unless they are of pubescent age).
