    Has Johan woken up with a horse’s head in his bed? Did the Italian boss catch him with a yellow wall? Or did the Old Man show up after crossing the Atlantic and drunk Johan under the table?

    Haha, something like that 😳

    A lot with the contract but also working on a HUGE post.

    There will be a shorter one on Friday and another almost finished.

    205 – date for offensive start, around May 8-12?

      “Syrskyi did not provide absolute figures but noted that the number of Ukrainian offensive actions exceeded those of Russian forces as of May 14, which may indicate Ukraine contesting the initiative at the tactical level and engaging in more active counterattacks.”

       

      Compare the picture in the answer above: on May 13, the AFU reported for the first time a ratio exceeding 1.0, meaning more unlocated battles than located ones. Then the ratio fell below 1 for a few days before exceeding it again on May 16.

      You have a difference of one day in the calendar during the 1548-day-long war.

    Hidden purpose of the nuclear weapons exercise – to get tactical nuclear weapons into Belarus.

    The defensive anchor no one will attack.

    UA is probably preparing for something up north as well.

    For Trump, it is probably worth it, he and his family walk away many billions of dollars richer – it also means that they can bribe their way out of problems in the future.

    I believe greater freedom for the union leaders is behind much of the positive things we see.

    They are still upset with Sirsky but he is not interfering at the micro level.

      Getting the corps staffs operational might have triggered complaints from brigade commanders who were used to being the top dogs. But it is certainly necessary if Ukraine is to achieve more than local successes.

    Off Topic: Why the UAE left OPEC

    The reason the UAE left OPEC was that they found more oil. But that oil lies beneath the desert and requires different technology to extract. That technology is held by the USA (fracking). Normally, when a technology is needed, one invests in a company that has the technology and lets the company extract, in this case, oil. The problem was that the USA sees this technology as a national security interest, which blocks foreign investments without approval from American authorities.

    So the UAE went to Mar-A-Lago to talk with Trump. Trump then wondered why he should support them when they belonged to OPEC? So the UAE had to leave OPEC to gain access to the technology, and instead, the USA, Canada, and the UAE will create a new cooperative organization (shale oil alliance something).

    The find is estimated at about 250 billion barrels of oil; today, the UAE has a quota at OPEC of 3.5 million barrels per day. If they were to double production and extract 3.5 million barrels per day also from the shale oil, that deposit would last nearly 200 years. The deposit is located near the border with Saudi Arabia, which means they also have undiscovered deposits as a low-probability chance.

    One barrel of oil can be translated to about 400kg of CO2 (if Google’s AI is not lying) after the oil has been refined and used.

      Exciting 🧐
      Where did you find this information?
      I asked CoPilot (i.e. Chat GPT) to check, but it couldn’t find any information.
      “Most of this story is a combination of real events and pure speculation. It is true that the UAE is leaving OPEC in 2026, but the main reason given in several sources is that they want to avoid production quotas and be able to utilize their increased capacity – not a new gigantic oil discovery or access to fracking technology.
      There is also no credible evidence that a “Mar-a-Lago deal” with Trump was behind the decision, or that the UAE needed to leave OPEC to gain access to American technology. Cooperation with American companies around shale oil is already happening today without such requirements.
      The claim of a discovery of 250 billion barrels lacks support in established data – the UAE’s proven reserves are rather around 100–110 billion barrels.
      Conclusion: The story mixes real trends (the UAE wants to produce more and cooperates with the USA) with unconfirmed or incorrect claims about the reasons and extent.”

    “Practical launches of ballistic and cruise missiles will be practiced during the joint drills of the Russian and Belarusian nuclear forces,” Putin announced. Rattle-rattle-rattle of a nuclear saber… Putin and Lukashenko conducted a joint nuclear forces training session via video link

    ▪️Belarus and Russia are not threatening anyone, but they stand ready to defend their shared fatherland from Brest to Vladivostok.

    ▪️Belarus will be drawn into the war in only one scenario – if aggression is committed against its territory. The country has no intention of getting involved in the war in Ukraine, as there is no need for it, either civil or military.

    ▪️Lukashenko is ready to meet with Zelenskyy “at any location – in Ukraine or Belarus” to “discuss the issues in Belarusian-Ukrainian relations.”

    Sure, here is the translation:

    Sure looks quite satisfied, doesn’t he?

    “❗️Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha took a selfie with a JAS-39 Gripen fighter jet and wrote: “This is what effective security and peace guarantees look like. Gripen. We are working on the tasks set by President Zelenskyy,” — Sybiha wrote.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”
