Correctly predicted Portugal to win Euro 2016
Time to start buying goods NOT made in China (it's very difficult, but we should all try).
That makes sense. Thanks!" We need carbon dioxide in the filling process, among other things. Bottles or kegs are charged with CO2, which prevents oxygen from getting into the beer. Large amounts of CO2 are required in a brewery because of this process. Extra carbonic acid is only added to drinks such as soda or mineral water. "
Say goodbye to any piece of technology, then

Yeah no, a ton of chips are diced and packaged in China, and with semiconductor shortage at the moment, you'd be totally fecked.
My phone is korean with chips from taiwan. My screen is korean too, gpu taiwanese. It's the cheap shit that's chinese.
Sony produces a lot in Vietnam now. Thailand is also a manufacturing center for technology. I said it would be difficult, but we should start at least with all the china junk we buy because we can and it's cheap.Say goodbye to any piece of technology, then
Only in good beer.Isn't the CO2 in beer a result of the brewing process!?
You could use nitrogen for filling. The only absolute need for CO2 is if you pasteurise your beer and have to regassify it. Make better beer and filter it properly, problem solved."

UK Russia relations are at an all time low. The UK have been on the ground training troops alongside the US for years.Bear in mind when the war broke out the former British PM was in a very tough spot domestically with a series of scandals involving himself and his party with pressure on him to resign. So the invasion came at a very convenient time for Boris to distract the public from his and his party's behaviour by throwing his support behind Ukraine.
Would the same level of support that Ukraine have had from the UK been forthcoming if the war had broke out when Boris and the Tories were in a much more comfortable position?
I have my doubts personally.
I would honestly recommend you to read more about Bandera and try to understand it from a Ukrainian POV before calling any Ukrainian a nazi for heroising his movement.Except that isn't what happened and what happened in this thread, it's just rhat frostbite hates Germans.
The big diplomatic issue at the time was that the Ukrainian ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnyk was acting and talking like Germany wasn't a souvereign state and essentially ordered Germany to do this or send that. He was truly unbearable and on top of that is a Banderista, so essentially a Nazi and therefore a PR disaster for Ukraine in Germany.
In the meantime he got replaced and that's why we don't have this kind if discussion any more.

And all this just because someone used the acronym PIIGS.Except that isn't what happened and what happened in this thread, it's just rhat frostbite hates Germans.
The ending of that translation - is it preparing the Russian people for a more widespread mobilisation and widespread conscription? "Only a complete military victory of the armed forces of the Russian Federation over the so called Ukraine can break this trend. For which alas self-mobilisation and collecting convicts from the bottom of the barrel is not enough", or am I reading too much into that?Tweet

Girkin seems to think Ukraine might've offered Russia peace terms to withdraw to February 24th frontlines and staging a legitimate referendum in Crimea. Think Ukraine can do better. Once they get to Mariupol and get to show the world what Russia has done there, penny will drop in terms of arms supplies and views towards Crimea
It's truly fascinating that one of the most radical nationalists appears to be one of the very few Russian voices who still see the reality. I don't know if this offer he talks about was real, but his analysis of Russia's military (and diplomatic) problems has been on point all the time.Tweet

Igor Girkin has been calling for official war and full mobilization basically since the war started. But he has been out of any actual power for years now, so whatever he says isn't official policy but far more hawkish. That might align again if Putin takes his view again, but he is in no way speaking for Putin.The ending of that translation - is it preparing the Russian people for a more widespread mobilisation and widespread conscription?

How is he still alive? Maybe he has serious influence with the GRU although no longer there (officially?)Igor Girkin has been calling for official war and full mobilization basically since the war started.

You can add India to the list too

It's not 90s anymore. I have a Huawei phone for instance.

His world view aligns pretty well with Putin, so no need to silence or even kill him. Allowing a certain spectrum of public voices around the government position allows to create the illusion of free speach in Russia.How is he still alive?

I've had one too (bought when they were super cheap because of Trump ban) but it was shit. The older generation Samsung I had before that held up way better so I've gone back to Samsung. The only thing China is leading in is building cheap copies of stuff invented in the free world. I don't know a single appliance / gadget / piece of tech that was actually invented or developed in China.It's not 90s anymore. I have a Huawei phone for instance.
That's a completely other theme, who invented what. And the thing about Samsung being better or not is just preference.I've had one too (bought when they were super cheap because of Trump ban) but it was shit. The older generation Samsung I had before that held up way better so I've gone back to Samsung. The only thing China is leading in is building cheap knock offs of stuff invented in the west. I don't know a single appliance / gadged / piece of tech that was actually invented or developed in China. They just copy whatever other people make.
That's your own fault.It's not 90s anymore. I have a Huawei phone for instance.
That's your own fault.

For instance who invented mobile phones and laptops? Whoever produce those things know is copying the guys who invented it in the first place, by your logic.
Your first reply was its the cheap, crap stuff they're producing and that's a notion which is completely outdated.
You quoted my reply to someone saying we would need to say goodbye to modern technology if we tried not buying chinese. Which is nonsense because nothing modern originated in China. That's all I'm saying.
(Sorry for being off-topic in this thread).
Thats like last decade. Biden's policy of trying to impose sanctions and isolate them will only force them to build stuff for themselves and in a big way.I've had one too (bought when they were super cheap because of Trump ban) but it was shit.

I guess cheap and crap are a matter of perspective. I stand by what I said. I actually think it's true more so now than 5 years ago, but maybe I've just become more aware of it. Even the chinese know it which is why NIO etc. develop their cars in Munich.Your first reply was its the cheap, crap stuff they're producing and that's a notion which is completely outdated.
It's a matter of facts. We'll have to agree to completely disagree on this one. Cheers.I guess cheap and crap are a matter of perspective. I stand by what I said.

Are you telling me you bought the Huwaii for another reason than the price? Be honest... (And even Huwaii has TSMC chips in it, does it not? Why?)It's a matter of facts. We'll have to agree to completely disagree on this one. Cheers.
China has been closing shop ever since winnie the puh started trying to outshine Mao and Deng Xiaoping. Everyone can decide for themselves if that will keep / bring them to the cutting edge of technology. I'm not convinced.Thats like last decade. Biden's policy of trying to impose sanctions and isolate them will only force them to build stuff for themselves and in a big way.
China Will Soon Lead the U.S. in Tech
Beijing pulls ahead in 5G and artificial intelligence while catching up in semiconductors.

I bought it cause it's quality and I'm really happy with it, just like I bought the previous one too.Are you telling me you bought the Huwaii for another reason than the price? Be honest... (And even Huwaii has TSMC chips in it, does it not? Why?)

That's absolute bollocks, tbh.I've had one too (bought when they were super cheap because of Trump ban) but it was shit.

Give me some examples then!?That's absolute bollocks, tbh.
As I say I have my doubts personally.UK Russia relations are at an all time low. The UK have been on the ground training troops alongside the US for years.
Boris hammed it up, but in all honesty could have had any British PM in power (bar Corbyn) and the support would have been similar. If we were still in the EU Britain would be leading the European effort to support Ukraine and I’m convinced you’d see a more coordinated effort.
