    The *OFFICIAL* Russia Is About To Invade Ukraine Thread

    It is sad that both Pakistan and Iran have praised Putin's invasion. I thoguht, that Pakistan has tried really hard to show that "we are perfectly OK country, come visit us" and that Iran has learnt something since they killed those in UIA 752 flight in 2020.

    The *OFFICIAL* Russia Is About To Invade Ukraine Thread

    Sorry for the dumb question: is the price same per barrel when buying oil in big quantities whether from Russia or Saudi Arabia or USA? If yes, then probably Russia benefits anyway? The cost of manouvers is probably much cheaper in Russia than in USA. A la moving troops from Vladivostok to...

    Just for comparison and to stimulate thoughts: Not sure how it was in USA (between 1945-1990), but at least in Soviet Estonia medical science was pretty much free of different politics. Obviously, the leaders at local communist party had a special hospital with better food and better beds, but...

    I am certainly not a fan of a Taliban group, but i guess the "you have to lie" was said to woman because even if the Taliban leaders would like/love to start from a clean sheet and be the best leaders of the world, the population (and different tribes and their mentality) in Afghanistan are what...

    Something is really wrong in the world, if (assuming it is true) the Taliban states that "you are welcome and as safe as possible" to a pregnant NZ woman while her home country just states "you bad, no chance to get here"...

    the sentence: Nii nagu me haigestume igal aastal nohusse, jääme tõenäoliselt ka koroonasse. Ja kui see väljendub nohus või kurguvalus, siis tuleb inimkonnal sellega leppida means: Like we get runny nose every year, we are also going to get some kind of coronavirus. And if the experience of the...

    IMHO, again a good article from a Dr Edward Laane (use built in translation in browser). https://saartehaal.postimees.ee/7441276/nakatumisnumbrid-on-suured-kuid-ei-koorma-enam-haiglaid?fbclid=IwAR1Brc2kr0RQVQL5pzMlwv36Hnh-FkEp5Q2i31LpILX_TgpNtBQcQuytwGE How is the general situation in Alaska (as...

    When i was at the secondary school (when my age was between 15-18), then at first year (Estonia still belonged to USSR at that time) we had a special class (twice a week, one 45 minute session), called "How to protect your country". Mainly it was about warfare, how guns operate, the difference...

    Last good song you listened to?

    IMHO it was a good touch that Maurice Ashley was the chief of the press conference and main announcer at WC in Dubai. I mostly followed the games either via Judith Polgar/Anish Giri duo and sometimes via the Levitov Chess channel (Peter Svidler mostly). Too bad that the Nepo's performance was...

    Chess has probably never had that good coverage that it is getting now.

    Why do you need to give me a hot tip :-)? How is it being entitled if you do not have COVID vaccine? I know that crime rate in Australia is kind of low, but isn't it a waste of police resources to chase Djokovic instead of potential drug dealers, gang members etc etc. Of course i know that last...

    I am not disputing the statement "our country, our laws". Just the general witch-hunter-style-hysteria even among those who claim to believe science. If it is for me dangerous to shake hands and have dinner together etc etc with Djokovic according to Australian scientists and medical...

    2019 he would have been perfectly OK person. I guess, that even having HIV (i do not know the spefic rules about IITF whether HIV complicates anything or not) would not have been a blocking factor? Now a non-vaccinated healthy athlete is considered more dangerous than some vaccinated drug...

    Isn't it absurd and sad at the same time, that a healthy person can't entry to Australia/Melbourne? Who would have thought/bet that in 2019? What are australians afraid of, should Novak wander in streets?

    Gameface, By "hysteria" i meant mainly border closures and other major restrictions by the government. Otherwise it is getting quiet (at least in local media in my country). The conspiracy theorist inside me guess :cool: , that either the published numbers in China are wrong (actually the...
