Yes, of course they continue to try to scare us, all to make us reduce support for Ukraine.

Can’t find it.

Not sure about the full outcome, but the main scenario, I’ll check what I wrote

This is starting to get a little worrying now….

😀

Here you can see who is importing crude oil or products from Russia.

Pretty much who you would expect, I think. With the addition of the Netherlands.
I assume that if crude oil has been to India and turned around and comes back as gasoline or diesel, it is not counted as an import from Russia but as an import from India.

When it starts to go so far that the population can no longer trust those who are supposed to protect the population from crime, it is no longer a civilized society.

Now, there are always bad apples in most areas, people in positions of power may decide to exploit that power for their own purposes. The selection process for those applying to the police should be very strict, better one less police officer, than one police officer who risks becoming a criminal.

Increased imports do not align with the Eurostat statistics I managed to obtain. I think I did it correctly, but I haven’t worked with this statistics before.

Ditto for oil and products

It is also possible to retrieve the imports for individual countries.

Yes, Russia relies on its ability to withstand losses, or rather, the regime’s ability to control its population.

It might well be what is needed.

Our power grid should probably handle a lot, there are loop feedings, etc., but for example, Sweden has been very dependent on the transmission from north to south since the nuclear power phase-out.

The underwater cables will probably break pretty quickly if things heat up.

Stop the shadow fleet, and monitor Russian ships, then we are much safer.

Belgium will receive its first or ninth (depending on how you count) F35a on Monday. 8 units are in the USA for pilot training. Can you simply exchange a new plane for an F 16 that is then sent to Ukraine? That sounds optimistic. The Swedish Air Force will receive its first Gripen E the following Monday, but these need to be prepared for deployment, etc. It usually takes a couple of years before the planes are operational in the squadrons. But apparently not in Belgium.
