“… 16.5 million US dollars per hour spent by Russia for war in Ukraine…”
*********************************************************************

So how many million US dollars per hour are being spent by the US for war in Ukraine?

Can you tell where American taxpayers injected billions in debt money to Ukraine?

“So how many million US dollars per hour are being spent by the US for war in Ukraine?”

Figure about $100B divided by 4,000 hours (for round numbers), so roughly $25M per hour.

So Russia wins, yet again. And the thing is, once they finish liberating at least the Eastern half of Ukraine, they’ll have a HUGE BOUNTY of oil and gas - something that the Globalists were salivating over when they attempted to start the war in February (but Russia beat them to the punch). The Globalists, of course, were not going to cash-in on those resource, but instead would have locked them down, as per Greta’s instructions.

Hmmmmm...

TENS OF THOUSANDS Protest in Prague Against Skyrocketing Energy Prices and Globalism – Prime Minister Calls Them Pro-Russian Extremists. Czech leaders continue to export electricity as their own citizens pay the highest rate in all of EU and fall further into debt.

Sounds familiar, doesn't it...

I guess the Germans and French still haven’t learned their lessons about fighting Russia during winter.

“Minister Calls Them Pro-Russian Extremists.”

Yep, at least under Soviet Domination they had a government that actually supported the people (even though their options were extremely limited). And don’t forget, in 1989, the Communist government GOT OUT OF THE WAY, when the people there said it was time for a change, and let them cross into Austria, being the first country begin the quick break up of the Soviet Empire.

Sounds like this government (engineered by the Neocons, by the way) looks like they’re getting ready to use AK’s on their protesters.

“A windfall tax on energy company profits would also be used to mitigate bills, Mr Scholz said.”

Vilifying energy companies in the middle of an energy crisis. That’s the ticket.

Agreed, the EU is nothing but centralized planning. The Nazi originators are finally winning. The biggest threat to the world are “world leaders”. Their arrogance and contempt for the average person has no bounds.

And to add to what you have said, it isn’t just the Nazis and Marxists who believe in the merits of central planning. Almost every elected official believes he or she can run the world from their perch on high (this despite the fact that they almost never have had ANY experience actually managing ANYTHING).

Now that they’re freed from all that crap, they can build and sell cars for far less than the $30k plus average price in the West.

Does that mean an ICE vehicle that can be repaired by the owner will come from Russia?

Can US gearheads please do that here?

Technically...but then you have to get them past Customs to import them - and good luck on that?

“Can US gearheads please do that here?”

Technically, but how many Metrosexuals know which end of a screwdriver to hold...and how many American ‘men’ are NOT Metrosexuals, these days? Not many...

I’d recommend buying something like a 2000 era Buick with a 3.8 V6 that’s spent most of its time sitting in an old persons garage.

Oh, agreed and agreed.

However, because my Boomer husband is a wanna-be gearhead, I do get shown all the indie garage vids and we do know a talented Gen X mechanic. The talent is there even if the present market is limited.

I know about the regulations & the supply chain and lack of mechanics 1st hand. It is just so frustrating.Let the kids have their expensive servicing options and cater to a niche market. I bet that market would expand if the options existed.

Instead, the options disappear, the market contracts, the prices/costs go up and mechanics all need extra credentials like they are computer hardware servicers. All designed to destroy the industry.
