Well, well, well..... Surprise, surprise, surprise:

Raytheon Technologies says it cannot quickly make new Stinger missiles, which the US has been sending to Ukraine. CEO Greg Hayes says the company must redesign electronics in the missile and seeker. "That's going to take us a little bit of time

Perhaps Russia has been playing the old "Rope A Dope" (Muhammad Ali).....

My guess, they need to change some code, so the misses can't be locked on to friendly airplanes.
I mean, they've been producing the fk'r for the last 30 - 50 years and all of a sudden, they can't? Please........ Next, you'll hear, they are waiting on their chips from China, supply chain, and putins fault.

I believe they have moved on to other, newer designs. Requiring restarting production on something they phased out.

Russia cuts all gas supplies to Poland??

Can anyone confirm this?
Click to expand...
The source of that is a pro climate change media outlet out of Poland. Sounds like Bull Shit, as the Russian, Polish and Gasprom its self have said nothing.

It’s a reverse psychology way of them to admit that they’re still buying Russian gas... because now they gotta come out and make a statement saying they’re still buying it. Just climate activists being fucking climate activists

Russia is suspending gas supplies to Poland, Bulgaria

Officials in Poland and Bulgaria say Russia is suspending their countries' natural gas deliveries starting on Wednesday.

I can see them cutting it off. If Poland won't open an account with the Russian State Back to pay for gas. Russia is not stupid. If payments are made to banks outside of Russia they will never see the money, so it would be just giving away the gas and that would be stupid.

It's not just gas..... It's everything else the country of Russia produces. Think about it.

EDIT after some thought:
Altruistic behavior can be easily defined as a selfless concern for other people. Caring about the needs of others comes very naturally to an altruist. Altruism is the practice of having the best interests of others at heart, rather than acting based on one's own self-interest.

We are witnessing this phenomenon in America. There is a culture (Government and Private Sector) developing in which people will forfeit everything in an effort to save other's.

It's more like they are happy to squander your money for others and expect you to make concessions on thier part for others.

Fuck them both.

Nothing in this statement makes any sense. We have more Marxist indoctrination in our military ranks than at anytime in US history. What does this have anything to do with access to resources and money? It's undeniably established that Ukraine has been rife with Nazis since WW2. Many of the Axis soldiers at Normandy were Ukrainians. Russia does not have Nazi battalions. By no means is Russia free of Nazis but it's not integrated into their culture compared to Ukraine, quite the opposite. Did you read up on the Ukrainian national hero Stephan Bandara?

I keep waiting for Ukraine to blow the gas line.. then Russia can't move ANY gas
Click to expand...
The Ukrainian gas pipe is just one of many , Why do you think it was never damaged or shut down by Ukrainans? , Ukrainians are actually pressuring other European countries to shut down other gas lines and only use ones going through Ukraine as a way to make EU consumers pay Ukraine more $$ for the transit (Pipeline is probably the largest moneymaker in Ukraine at this time) . I am surprised Russians haven't bombed the Ukrainian pipeline as a way to force Europe to bypass Ukraine ,depriving Ukraine of billions in transit fees. As US can't fill even a fraction of the shortfall spice Gas will continue to follow Europe cant go without it. or governments might find themselves on another side of the regime change game.

I'm waiting for a large contingent of Ukrainian forces to end run Russia with Western resupplied arms and attack a couple of Russian Cities just for the shock factor. A lot of Russian soldiers and conscripts will not be amused if while they are off blowing up Ukraine the Ukrainians go to their homes and level them and kill their families. That would make this Game interesting.

I heard the other day that Zelensky has a list of heavy weapons he EXPECTS the USA to give him. He also EXPECTS the world to give him money to rebuild Ukraine. Fuck him, fuck his regime, fuck Putin and fuck this whole proxy war.

Our economy is going down the drain and our Representatives are mainly focused on "helping" Ukraine, hemorrhaging money while printing it as fast as they can, and ignoring the problems we are facing in this country.

I got asked to give my change (coins) to "help Ukraine". I had to bite my tongue to keep from losing my shit on the gas station clerk.

At the rate buildings are being blown up and trees knocked down, there will be less of a demand for gas to heat. When there is a demand for heat, there is an abundance of firewood and biomas. with the mass exodus there are less residents needing heat. Before there was natural gas in Ukraine, their energy supply came from coal.... Not hearing about any shortage of coal. No solar setup's to mention...

Is there a real need for natural gas at this time ?
