  4. Not convinced by thoose pics might be natural? Agree, & I suppose that means ivy roots could also, but not seen any reference to it. As ivy doesn't spiral like honey suckle it doesn't seem to girdle above ground.

Why Russia Gets More Bang for the Ruble
  11. You could argue (and some are) that the Wests help with weapons will just prolong the war and lead to more deaths on both sides. Unless ukraine wins in the end, which atm it doesn't look good.... But then I can't see Russian being able to hold/control Ukraine either even if they initially win.?
  12. Looks like Putins calling in more cannon fodder, maybe belorussians will be used try and to limit russian deaths?
  13. Russia in many ways is still like a feudal country. Putin the Tsar oligarchs are like barons rest are serfs. US lead western "disaster captailism" has influenced modern Russia though for the worse... The Harvard Boys Do Russia | The Nation WWW.THENATION.COM After seven years of economic “reform” financed by billions of dollars in U.S. If US had helped Russian with a a less corrupt "marshall plan" instead might of turned out different today

  15. US has a defense pact with Taiwan Another problem all dictators have is sucession Putins an OAP how does he think hes gonna retire without the risk of it ending badly for him?
  16. Imagine the disaster if Trump was still president . He'd probably he supporting Putin or some other random crazy lunatic antics, like some of the many other "useful idi0t" Putins apologists around.... whataboutery Iraq etc Trump seems to have some kind of homoerotic attraction or envy for "hard man" dictators as if thats what he aspired to be? In an alternative universe, Corbyn won the 2019 election.. https://www.thejc.com/lets-talk/all/pm-corbyn-invites-russian-troops-to-britain-1SDI29qCGKXgsbeHXNQgrr
  17. The new makita 18vx2 pole saw looks decent. (esp if you already have the batteries) 1.4kw motor on boost so is powerful, reckon it would equal the 131 Downside is lower runtimes v petrol maybe long time durability? Makita - Product Details - DUA301 18Vx2 (36V) LXT Brushless 300mm 12" Telescopic Pole Saw WWW.MAKITA.CO.NZ Makita Power Tools.

  18. Of course its probably also partly racism. Ukrainians being "white" christians, but it is closer to europe and a democracy. Somalia and africa in general: do BLM as much to the news reporting wars?..... The oil and weapons trade betwwen UK & Saudi so Yemen is overlooked.....

  19. Think someone on here worked out the initial cost of the (then available) small scale retorts wasn't worth the larger investment over using a ring kilns taking into acount the bonus of the increased yield of retorts but the negative increased cost & the estimated retort/kiln lifespan/number of burns? Doesn't factor in enviro benefits.....only payback on investments...... Might of being in the TVI thread when he decide charcoal wasn't really economical/or worth the effort V firewood?
  20. Not making headline news anymore but is still reported..... Old news as its stuff thats being dragging on for many yrs V an invasion thats only days old. Also the large scale of the conflict and the associated impacts on NATO europe UK etc So I don't think its that confusing, also no reporting or news channel is un-bais or agenda free etc. Headline news is a only a limited curated selection of what they think is most relevant. Just checked last US airstrike in Syria was 3 yrs ago?

  22. Wonder why its in the amazon but not found or highlighted in other places around the globe ? I'd of of thought similar processes would of occured in many other locations creating such anthropogenic soils, unless there is a specific component or technique used that only occured in amazonia.....
