Hey Germans. Winter is coming...

 

The title was tongue in cheek mixed with a huge dose of fucking with Freder. Seriously though, I'm kinda amazed (kinda....it was easy to see this coming), that it will finally take a few cold nights (guess high gas prices weren't enough) for people to get behind the idea of getting the opposing sides to the table to talk this craziness out.

The psyops boy have got it down pat on how to ramp up peoples emotions over certain causes.

They still don't have a clue on how to ramp those emotions down once they've been stirred up.

Things should get real interesting right around Thanksgiving.

Pic of a child with basic food items showing boundless joy. Is this our future?

 

Seeing this pic of a child with simple food items (bread and milk) is eye opening.

Christmas is coming and if you have small children and you gave them this gift you'd hear crying to the depths of your heart.

Even worse is that you'd be the source of ridicule by family and friends.

Yeah I know.  Different times and economic conditions.

But its really mind blowing to see a child that is over joyed at the receiving a simple (I'm assuming) gift of milk and bread.

We're living in luxury and don't even know it or appreciate it.

QUESTION EVERYTHING!

That is all.  Have a good one! 

Pfizer Director makes a stunning admission. We were all played...

This is getting a little play on conservative Twitter but the reality is that this should be a much bigger story. Covid is the biggest scandal of the last 100 years. The effects of the vaccine on healthy individuals will change the course of their lives for as long as they live. Our military and society was turned upside down over a false debate. Surely people need to go to jail over this.

Things are getting dicey in France over petrol...

Could Saudi Arabia go full rogue after Biden threatens consequences for oil cut?

 via Financial Times

Joe Biden warned that Saudi Arabia would face “consequences” for defying Washington by announcing large cuts to oil production last week as he vowed to re-evaluate the US relationship with Riyadh in talks with Congress next month.

“I’m not going to get into what I’d consider and what I have in mind. But there will be consequences,” the US president told CNN in an interview on Tuesday night. “When the House and Senate get back [after the midterm elections] . . . there’s going to be some consequences.”

Last week Opec+, which is led by Saudi Arabia, the world’s top oil exporter, and Russia, announced that it would cut its oil production targets by 2mn barrels a day, despite pressure from Washington not to go ahead with the move.

Saudi Arabia said the cartel took the decision because of market conditions amid fears of a global recession, and to preserve prices as the kingdom pushes ahead with highly ambitious plans to modernise the conservative nation. But the move infuriated the Biden administration as it prepares for midterm elections next month and as the world grapples with soaring energy inflation triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The action/reaction aspect of this thing is fascinating.

First you had the Biden admin come into office calling the Saudis a pariah nation.

Then you had Biden trying to make nice with them.

Then the Saudis give Biden the middle finger.

Now you have Biden saying there will be consequences.

Wonder what the Saudi reaction will be.  Will they go full rogue? Will they further develop the basket of currencies that they sell their oil for?  Will they impose pain and start another oil embargo?

Interesting times!

J-20 second pilot in J-20 2 seat version is confirmed to be the drone pilot. Each J-20 will control 3 GJ-11 attack drones, each carries around 2 tons of ordnance. Renders of J20s and GJ-11s [1920x1080] via Reddit

I wonder why they're pushing for the backseater in these fighters to control drones? US Airpower (Air Force & Navy) seems to be on the same track. Wouldn't it be better to put controllers in G-650s?
