Bullshit.

In 1997, the borders of Ukraine were the internationally recognized borders it inherited upon the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, which included its territory from the Black Sea to its borders with Belarus, Russia, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Moldova. This was confirmed by the 1997 Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation, and Partnership between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, known as the “Big Treaty,” which legally bound Russia to respect Ukraine’s existing borders.

So Russia agreed to respect the 1991 borders. Then broke that agreement.

Besides the point. Ukraine only indicated a desire to Join NATO indicating a desire. Even in its constitution is not breaking the agreement. But a act of democratic will.

You are basically arguing.

"Oh it looks to me that Ukraine’s population wants to break a treaty we have already proven we will not abide by. We had a right to attack in the past. "

You are talking out your arse and have absolutely no fucking idea what you are talking about.

Goodbye.

So after Russia invaded breaking it’s treaty commitment to respect the borders and sovereignty of Ukraine. Ukraine no longer followed it’s commitments under the broken treaty.

Yes that is the way things work.

Now maybe Russia should hand back the fucking nuke it got in return for agreeing to respect that soverinty.

Your argument are no more then trollinsh bollocks with zero merit.

Ukraine never joined NATO. Inventing bullshit arguments about friendships with nations you dislike. In no fucking way counts as a treaty violation. Invading another fucking nation dose.

Why recent. Do you think treaties expire when your friends don’t like them any more.

They have not been first to break an international treaty they signed since leaving the USSR. Russia broke several when they invaded Ukraine.

Nations that thrive on war tend to invade other nation. They do not wait for other to invade them.

So why the fuck did Russia need to be the one to start it.

If they thrive on war. Surely they would have been invading russian territory. Rather then sitting and Following the treaties with Russia. That Russia chose to break and invade Ukraine.

It’s a fucking stupid argument.

You will likely need some form of support structure. L Angle welded as a pitched frame is my plan. A d some seal between each panals.

But for a single story shed structure yes.

Also rent but social so I have a bit more stability and flexibility. Sorry an advantage of being old and disabled. Was able to get a place while it was still possible.

I fully understand how fucked over a high % over my age voters left your age group.

Agreed, just a little annoyed is all. I’m thinking of building a gazebo in my garden with solar cells on top. Seems like they some Aluminium l angle with a little fibreglass will act as a bloody cheep roof ATM.

2 years ago I spent £200 on 2 41pw panals to fit my brother and my small boat. Thinking that price was too cheap to miss. Knowing it would be this winter I was able to fit them.

Talk about a bad choice. Can’t really complain though.

Not that I know of. ATM 410w panels are £45 each, having dropped hugely over 2 years.

Agreed. It’s also happening in the UK slowly. We are now 80% renewable 10% nuclear. 10% fossile. Given our use that is impressive. But also we are starting to see low price solar inverter kits that can add as additional power.

A bit late. While much of Africa has unreliable power. Including many more industrialised nations. Solid fuel power stations and majority urban areas have been wired for decades.

Solar has just been a needed backup for well off homes. That is now dropping to others.

Had no idea germans were so into mushrooms.

Each to there own I spose.

Agreed. Likely in the low millions £ to fix by skilled specialists.

Just to be clear sorry paint over flight surfaces is not something anyone flying can just ignore.

It is very able to bring down an aircraft if the wronge surfaces are stuck due to such paint. And most modern aircraft surfaces do not allow huge movement spaces. (Excepting some limited early stealth models that needed to grow at speed. But materials tech has hugely changed since early 60 when early stealth aircraft leaked fuel at take off)

Is it terrorism likely not. I at least cannot make an argument where tempory lack of 2 aircraft is a threat of terror.

But it is damage to the aircraft that requires funding to correct before use.

Exactly. No matter the y dimension. Barcode data is only stored in x. Whereas QR uses x and y for data.

They also use the corner squares and a few specific dots to allow scanning from greater angles. Basically allowing the data to be read in 3d space. Even though only 2d is used to store that data.

This is why QR can work well with cameras. Whereas bar codes are designed for very short range laser reflection.

PS lots of info on QR online including open source programs to make your own.

The same goes for bar codes. But readers involve some very simple maker skills. Making simple barcode readers was a common school science project in the early 90s.

When has any global standard ever been elected. What process even exists to do so.

The whole idea that some other nation gaining power post ww2 being more democratic is just crap

The pre WW2 world was far from some democratic ideal. The US just took over from Europe’s fiscal control using exactly the same techniques. Just as the UK took over from Spain etc.

Is it shitty yes. But the idea that if any of these nations sat back. Some peaceful agreement between waring nations would have evolved. Is just fantasy. It is looking back with a modern mindset that simply did not exist in any power regime at the time.

Well yes. That is why it was respected. America used it’s delayed entry to build it’s reduction capability. Used that to help win. Then not having exhausted it took advantage.

But while correct. It’s a more accurate way of saying the doller was respected. As a strong trade currency other nations could use.

Countries that value financial sovereignty.

Keep it by storing a tradeable reserve in other currencies. And or gold and silver but that has become less common.

The doller has won purely because it is respected around the world. Because most nations have some desire to trade with the US.

As that desire weakens sovereignty or your own currency is less strong if you are holding less stable currencies. And the doller is looking less and less stable every time trump talks.

BRICC current dedollerization has more to do with his tarrifs attacks harm to international trade then then anything else. Making trade with your nation less profitable. Is a rather stupid move if you want the world to use your currency to trade amounts each other.

When the global currency is run by a petty man child. It is the nations not making an effort to move away from it that are more worrying.

You are failing to understand my point.

I don’t disagree with the birth of capitalism. Although it is basically a new name for imperialism. It is the obvious effect of the post fudal middle class becoming the leadership post aristocratic rule. But it can also be an idea independent of its birth and leadership.

Where I disagree that anything currently existing can push those processes towards socialism. BRICC members are far from a socialist majority. Most nations in BRICC are equally supporting of the ideas of Capitalism. At least the ideas sold by those that use it for imperialism.

It is entirely possible. (Although far from probable) That BRICCs or a descendent from it. Will lead to the global south rising to take over from the current western default rule.

But for that future to be socialist it will need the leadership of those nations to think on socialist ways. And most simply do not do so ATM. Nor dose any probable event indicate a change in how these nations would run the world economy.

Unfortunately for Socialism to thrive. Yes you need opinions to have a major effect on world politics. Without it socialism as an ideal is impossible.
