Ukrainians want to survive this war, and that's becoming increasingly difficult. Zelensky and the radicals around him are essentially committed to fighting this war to the last Ukrainian. I'm certain that Mr. Zelensky and his associates are eager, at some point, to retire to their estates in Florida, Venice, or Cyprus to capitalize on the billions they've managed to steal or siphon from the aid provided by the US. Remember, Ukraine is arguably one of the most corrupt places in the world. A friend of mine who spent time in the old Soviet Union and also lived in Mexico returned from a visit to Mexico and said it's hard to believe, but Ukraine is more corrupt than Mexico. Fourteen million Ukrainians have left the country, presumably never to return. When asked in Germany, France, Croatia, Spain, or wherever they go, they respond that they will never return. There will likely be a significant effort to regain control of this situation in some manner, but it may not succeed once this war ends with a complete and utter defeat of the Ukrainian regime. Russia today is stronger than it has been in 30 or 40 years. The Russian military establishment is now more potent and capable than it was in the mid-1980s, as wars typically degrade a military force. However, the Russians have been very careful, deliberate, and cautious about the expenditure of life. Looking at the Russian casualties in this war, there are probably 50,000 killed and maybe another 40 to 50,000 wounded, compared to the Ukrainians who have recorded 400,000 dead. So, the ratio is one to five. Manpower is leaving Ukraine as quickly as possible because people don't want to be thrown into the meat grinder. You can't defeat what the Russians have built. They were the first, back in the 1970s, to understand the criticality of linking intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance in space, as well as on land and at sea, with strike weapons. What are strike weapons? Rockets, missiles, and guided artillery for precision. They've done that extremely well. So, that's one of the reasons they have thousands of guns, hundreds of rocket launchers, hundreds of ballistic missile launchers, cruise missiles, and so forth. These are then linked to ISR, so the response time is almost instantaneous. For example, if the Ukrainian formation is located at this spot next to this building on the outskirts of, say, Kharkiv, they can have missiles, rockets, or drones on the way to those targets within perhaps five, six, or seven minutes. This is a very well-structured, well-organized machine. The machine is grinding up everything in front of it, and it's not going to be defeated. On the other hand, much of the equipment we send over to Ukraine is, quite frankly, obsolete; that is, it's very old. We've given them a few new items, but not much. We sent them some Patriot missiles, which are the newest items we've sent to them. That could cost about 750 million dollars, covering just 33 Patriot missiles. These missiles are used to shoot down aircraft or incoming cruise missiles. Opposing forces, every time you talk to air defense personnel, will tell you that if there's a target out there, you shoot at least two missiles at it to ensure you hit the target. With this rate of expenditure, you'd run out of our missiles in a matter of days. 33 missiles would be gone in two or three days. You can't possibly defeat the thousands of projectiles being hurled in your direction. #spunt #russia #douglasmcgregor #putin_zelensky #putin #biden #joebiden #scottritter

Ukraine has lost a lot in this war with Russia, Putin is seen as the vilian, but right now it is clear that if we continue with this Russian invasion of Ukraine which has been on for close to 3 years now, we are likely heading to World War three. If we had followed due counsel from President Donald Trump, we should have ended the war. But it is still not late to end the war in question and pull back from Ukraine. The big question remains if we continue with this war, we should be finding out how is the readiness of the current US Armed Forces compared to that of 1975, at the end of Vietnam war?. Will the US survive the war at this time? Or is it time to give it a rethink? In terms of morale and discipline, we are close to where we were in the late '70s. We have a lot of people that are confused about what needs to be done. We've lost a sense of what's right. In other words, you don't have people that have served long enough in formations to know what right looks like, so that you can see a battle group, whether it's a battalion size or brigade or larger, and you know what makes things work, you know what it takes to fight in battle. We don't have very many people like that because since 2001, most of the fighting has been on a very small scale against a fleeting enemy, running around in sandals with an AK-47, relying heavily on explosives, mines to kill Americans. About 87% of our losses were really a result of explosives that came from mines. This is not an army that is accustomed to fighting anybody who can fight back. If we compare it to an army, a better comparison would probably be the French army before the Franco-Prussian War. Because the French had fought Mexican bandits, Mexican rebels, they'd fought Arab bandits, Arab insurgents, they'd had a little experience fighting disgruntled, demoralized European troops, Austrians in Northern Italy. But they hadn't faced a truly modern enemy. But people were convinced that the French army was the greatest army in the world because they'd fought in North Africa and Indochina, Mexico, all over the world. That war was a catastrophe for France, and that army was decimated in months by a Prussian army that was a modern force, highly disciplined, very confidently led, trained, and equipped. So, the US is not there. We have equipment that is decades old. For example the tanks that were used for war in 1990, were virtually brand new, state-of-the-art, but in today’s modern war dynamics, you cannot imagine that those tanks are still out there. They've been rebuilt, but they're not new anymore. They're no longer as capable as they once were. We also have a turbine engine in the M1A1 series tanks, and that turbine engine burns up as much fuel sitting still as it does moving because it's a turbine engine that was designed to be used on an aircraft. We put them in the tanks, so that means you've got an eight-hour tank. Every eight hours, if you're operating, you've got to refuel this thing. This thing also burns fuel at a very high temperature, over 1,000 degrees, and there are 40-plus connections around the engine that are very brittle that can easily cause fires if accidentally they touch these little tubes that carry various types of fluid. If they actually touch this engine that's burning so hot, so the engine is so hot that you can track the movement of US Army Ground Forces with tanks from low Earth orbiting satellites. So, if you think you're going to hide or conceal yourself or outpace somebody, you're just a glowing target from space. #spunt #douglasmcgregor #scottritter #russia #putin #putin_zelensky

Pretty much everything that NBC News and the New York Times have told you about the war in Ukraine is a lie. The Russian army is incompetent, they claim Ukraine is a democracy, Vladimir Putin is Hitler and he's trying to take over the world. Thankfully, the Ukrainians are winning. None of that is true; every claim is false. The last one especially: the Ukrainian Army is not winning. In fact, it's losing badly. Ukraine is being destroyed; its population is being slaughtered in lopsided battles with a technologically superior enemy or scattered by the millions to the rest of the globe as refugees. Ukraine is running out of soldiers. As that happens, the question will inevitably arise: who's going to replace them? If the Ukrainians can't beat Putin, who will? The answer, of course, will be us. American troops will fight the Russian army in Eastern Europe. That's most likely, and the assumption is we'll win. But will we win? Probably not, says former army colonel Douglas McGregor, a decorated combat veteran who advised the Secretary of Defense in the last administration. The US says McGregor is on the brink of a catastrophic war that could very easily destroy us. Few Americans seem to understand that, but they should. At this point, all of the lies that have been told for more than a year and a half about the Ukrainians winning, the Ukrainian cause, the Russians are evil, the Russians are incompetent—all of that is collapsing. And it's collapsing because what's happening on the battlefield is horrific. Ukrainians now, have lost 400,000 men killed in battle. We were talking about 300,000 to 350,000 a few months ago. Within the last month of this supposed counter-offensive, which was to sweep the battlefield, they lost at least 40,000 killed. We don't even know how many people have been wounded, but we know that probably upwards of 40 to 50,000 soldiers are amputees. We know the hospitals are full, and we know that Ukrainian units at the platoon and company level—that's anywhere from 50 to 150 to 200 men—are in piecemeal fashion surrendering to the Russians. Not because they don't want to fight, but because they can't fight anymore. They have so many wounded they can't evacuate them, and commanders are saying, "Well, if I can't evacuate my wounded, I'm going to surrender," because otherwise the wounded will die. And so they call the Russians and they all speak Russian and tell them on the radio, "Look, I've got 50-60 wounded here. I'm going to surrender because I don't want them to be killed." And the Russians, from the very beginning, have always treated the Ukrainian soldiers very fairly and very gently. #spunt #russia #nato #ukraine #ukrainerussia #putin_zelensky #putin

Tucker Carlson - Could foreign DNA enter your cells through the mRNA COVID vax and change your DNA — and humanity itself — forever? Sounds nutty. It's not. "Absolutely that could happen," says Dr. Joseph Ladapo, the surgeon general of Florida. A shocking conversation.

The dersert finally got its desired life. Have you ever wondered how we can quench the thirst of arid regions and tackle water scarcity in some of the world's most inhospitable environments? With the advancement of technology, scientists and engineers have been hard at work developing innovative solutions to harvest water from the desert's air. In this article, we will explore the groundbreaking methods and materials that are revolutionizing the way we extract this precious resource, providing hope for a sustainable future. One remarkable development in the field of water harvesting is the creation of a new generation of machines that can generate water from the atmosphere. Watergen, a company initially acquired by a Russian investor, has been at the forefront of this technology. Their machines utilize a unique technique known as atmospheric water generation (AWG), which extracts water from the entire air mass. However, a new player in the field, H2oll, has taken the concept even further by introducing second-generation AWG machines that yield significantly higher water outputs. These cutting-edge machines incorporate a superabsorbent hydrogel, a revolutionary material that has caught the attention of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This hydrogel has the remarkable ability to capture and retain large quantities of water vapor from the air, even in the most arid conditions. By leveraging the hygroscopic properties of the gel, scientists have achieved remarkable success in water extraction. One of the key advancements in hydrogel technology is the development of a superabsorbent, salty hydrogel. This innovation, which was recently reported in the scientific journal Materials, has the potential to revolutionize water harvesting in desert regions. By incorporating salt into the hydrogel, researchers have significantly enhanced its water absorption capabilities. This means that even in extremely dry conditions, the hydrogel can draw moisture from the air and convert it into usable water. The unique properties of this salty hydrogel stem from its ability to efficiently interact with water molecules in the surrounding environment. As the air passes through the hydrogel, the material's hygroscopic nature attracts and captures the water vapor, effectively pulling it out of the air. The captured water can then be released through a controlled process, providing a reliable and sustainable source of freshwater. But how does this hydrogel compare to other water harvesting technologies? Traditional methods, such as condensation-based systems, often rely on cooling the air to reach the dew point, where water vapor condenses into liquid form. While effective, these systems can be energy-intensive and may not work optimally in arid climates. The superabsorbent hydrogel offers a more efficient alternative, as it can capture water vapor directly from the air without the need for extensive cooling processes. Furthermore, the hydrogel's potential goes beyond water harvesting for human consumption. It can also be utilized for agricultural purposes, providing a sustainable irrigation solution for crops in desert regions. By extracting water from the air, this gel has the potential to transform barren landscapes into flourishing agricultural areas, bringing economic stability and food security to communities facing water scarcity. In addition to the superabsorbent hydrogel, other materials have also emerged as promising solutions for harvesting water from the atmosphere. Organic crystals, for instance, have shown great potential in extracting moisture from the air. These crystals can undergo reversible changes in their structure, depending on the humidity level. As the air becomes more humid, the crystals swell and capture water vapor. Then, as the humidity decreases, the crystals release the water, ready for collection. The development of these innovative materials and technologies has not only addressed the urgent need for water in arid regions but also holds promise for combating global water scarcity. As the world's population continues to grow, water resources are becoming increasingly strained. By harnessing the power of these advancements, we can tap into a virtually unlimited water source-the atmosphere -and alleviate the pressure on traditional water sources. One of the significant advantages of harvesting water from the air is its potential for scalability. Unlike conventional water sources such as rivers, lakes, or underground aquifers, the atmosphere is accessible almost everywhere on the planet. This means that water can be extracted from the air in remote desert regions where traditional water infrastructure is limited or non-existent. The ability to generate water locally reduces dependence on long-distance transportation and allows communities to become more self-sufficient in meeting their water needs. #waterharvesting #Desert #firstflix #airwater
