Good News for Ukrainian Artillery Gunners: More Cannon, More Shells Collectively, European shell manufacturers will, per that data, probably produce about two million artillery shells in 2025, about twice the 2024 figure. Key bottlenecks include explosive materials like TNT, RDX, IMX-104, and nitrocellulose for propellants, but continental output rising to 2.4 million shells in 2026 and even accelerating after that is possible, the report said. The US, since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, has sent Kyiv about two million shells, largely drawn from existing stocks – or about 600,000 shells a year. By those numbers, a possible cutoff of made-in-USA artillery ammo deliveries to Ukraine – most recently the Trump administration stopped all arms transfers to Kyiv for about two weeks in March 2025 – could be more than covered by rising European production, the report says. What is Vatnik Soup? The Soups "Sastavili smo izbor vodećih ruskih medijskih osoba (Solovjov, Skabejeva, Kiseljov...) i istaknuli neke od njihovih najupečatljivijih izjava. Ove osobe, odlikovane brojnim državnim odlikovanjima i na cijenjenim položajima u ruskom društvu, poznate su diljem zemlje." „[Umjesto Sjedinjenih Država] bit će morski tjesnac nazvan po drugu Staljinu. I svi će se žohari utopiti .“ "Poslat ćemo trupe [u Europu] kako bismo zaštitili ruskogovorno stanovništvo. Zemlje NATO- a će paničariti! Berlin! Pariz! London! Bruxelles! Jesu li spremni izgorjeti pod našim raketnim napadima?" Trebali bismo bombardirati Norvešku jer je ta zemlja domovina vođe NATO- a Jensa Stoltenberga." "Ako mislite da ćemo se zaustaviti na Ukrajini, razmislite 300 puta. Podsjećam vas da je Ukrajina samo međufaza u osiguravanju sigurnosti Ruske Federacije." „Kad cijela ova operacija završi, NATO se mora zapitati: imamo li uopće sredstava za obranu? A ljudi? Jer neće biti milosti... Počinje rat s Europom, sa svijetom. I morat ćemo djelovati puno čvršće.“ „Zašto bombardirati Ukrajinu ili Njemačku kada je korijen sveg zla Velika Britanija? Pa, onda smo je trebali bombardirati danas kada su se svi najbolji ljudi svijeta okupili na sprovodu kraljice Elizabete II.“ „Kako bi se nosili s ekonomskom krizom, Francuzi sada štede na osobnoj higijeni... Specifičan smrad možete osjetiti ne samo na ulicama, već čak i na mjestima gdje se okupljaju neoprani, nepočešljani, rusofobni Francuzi .“ "Uništiti sve Ukrajince dovraga! Zašto? Zato što nas žele uništiti. Ili oni ili mi. Nema treće opcije. " „Evo Londona, evo Edinburgha. Bio sam tamo. Evo Manchestera, Liverpoola. Vjerojatno možete navesti britanske gradove koji zaslužuju biti pogođeni atomskom bombom. Evo Francuske - prekrasne Francuske, koju volimo. Pariz, Marseille, Bordeaux, Strasbourg… Najveća francuska nuklearna elektrana udaljena je samo 170 km od glavnog grada. „Cijela Ukrajina bit će metodično pretvorena u sanitarnu zonu, ratom razoreno područje. Neće biti struje, prometna čvorišta i mostovi bit će uništeni, vlakovi neće prometovati, a veliki gradovi neće moći održavati normalan život, jer vodoopskrba, kanalizacijski sustavi i bolnice neće funkcionirati. To će biti gradovi iz kojih će ljudi odlaziti. Postoji potpuni konsenzus o ideji da se Ukrajina mora rastaviti ciglu po ciglu, tako da tamo ne ostane apsolutno ništa. “ „Svećenici kulta 'ukrajinstva' moraju biti uništeni poput bijesnih životinja. Bez ikakve milosti. To je očito. Počevši od brisanja znakova na jeziku do ukidanja jezika u srednjim školama. Svaki pokušaj govora ukrajinskog treba smatrati iskazivanjem nelojalnosti (što bi drugo moglo biti?) i trebao bi rezultirati stavljanjem osobe na crnu listu i zabranom bilo kojeg zanimanja osim blagajnika u supermarketu. “ U vezi s brojnim učiteljima na okupiranim teritorijima koji odbijaju predavati po ruskim programima i planiraju nastaviti koristiti ukrajinske nastavne planove i programe: "Pa, u redu, možda se ne isplati pucati na njih, ali što ako ih prisilimo da jedu bankovne kartice na koje primaju plaće? Izbaciti ih iz stanova. Nešto u duhu dobrog starog GULAG-a. Očekuju GULAG, pa im ga dajte. Neka se naježe! Zašto stvarno ne uspostaviti lokalni GULAG, uredan i čist, u stepi pod žarkim suncem za učitelje koji još nisu naučili voljeti našu prekrasnu domovinu. "

Ako je ovo samo tema na kojoj se pise kako mse ko oseca trenutno, onda ok, nema smisla dalje pisati. Ako je pak mogucnost da se raspravlja o odredjenim emocionalnim stanjima onda ... Prvo ide prvo, posle ide drugo. Naravno da je moj savet naivan i plitak (mada u sustini ispravan). Njegova namera je da se dobije odgovor. Drugi korak je ovo sto ti pises - pitanje o uzrocima neke emocije / psihickog stanja. To se ne moze resiti na forumu, ali donekle se moze videti o cemu se radi. Dakle, @božija noga zbog cega se ti zapravo nerviras ? 🙂

@mrd Kao sto sam pretpostavljao - US bajka za naivne vs evropski kapitalizam sa izgradjenim mehanizmima socijalne zastite. Kad stignem postavicu par misljenja US Amera koji su "otkrili" Evropu i koji potvrdjuju da je US propala drzava, velikim delom jer su ih ubedili da je ono sto je dobro za bogatase dobro za sve i da je pohlepa osnova ljudskog bica i drustva.

Nisam mislio na bukvalni prevod vec na BS objasnjenje koje stoji iza te tvrdnje i koji cini US banana drzavom ljudi ispranog mozga. America's debt mountain is in acute danger of collapsing The United States has long been living beyond its means. But now, for the first time, Donald Trump's gigantic budget deficit is threatening its creditworthiness – and the global financial system. The US president himself is deliberately destroying faith in his country's solvency.

Dobra ekonomska analiza. The long shadow of austerity ... The greatest tragedy of the last three years is that the Kremlin showed it can “just do things” on a large scale when motivated to. That the regime never once considered a similar mobilization of money and other resources to improve people’s lives systematically speaks volumes.

‘Well, we all are going to die': Joni Ernst spars with town hall crowd over Medicaid The Iowa senator shocked constituents Friday when she defended Republicans’ reconciliation package. ... Initial estimates from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has found that the bill could lead to 7.6 million people going uninsured. https://www.reuters.com/business/tru...fTh3t2LBCWtDDw "Trgovinski rat predsjednika Donalda Trumpa koštao je tvrtke više od 34 milijarde dolara u izgubljenoj prodaji i većim troškovima, prema Reutersovoj analizi korporativnih objava, danak za koji se očekuje da će rasti jer stalna neizvjesnost oko carina paralizira donošenje odluka u nekim od najvećih svjetskih kompanija. Diljem Sjedinjenih Država, Azije i Europe, tvrtke uključujući Apple (AAPL.O), Ford (F.N), Porsche i Sony (6758.T), povukle su ili smanjile svoje prognoze dobiti, a velika većina kaže da je nestalna priroda Trumpove trgovinske politike onemogućila točnu procjenu troškova. Reuters je pregledao izjave kompanija, regulatorne podneske, transkripte konferencijskih i medijskih poziva kako bi po prvi put skupio snimku dosadašnjih tarifnih troškova za globalna poduzeća." "Problem s politikom općenito je što ljudi vide ono što se radi, a ispod radara prođe ono što se spriječava napraviti, odnosno troškovi u ovom slučaju koje su reforme Trampove administracije učinili. Birači to slabo ili ne registriraju."

George Carlin pre 20 godina: " But there’s a reason. There’s a reason. There’s a reason for this, there’s a reason education SUCKS, and it’s the same reason it will never, ever, EVER be fixed. It’s never going to get any better, don’t look for it, be happy with what you’ve got. Because the owners of this country don't want that. I'm talking about the real owners now, the REAL owners! The big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians. They are irrelevant. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice! You have OWNERS! They OWN YOU. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying, to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I'll tell you what they don’t want: They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. Thats against their interests. Thats right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and think about how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want that! You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shitty jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you sooner or later cause they own this fucking place! It's a big club, and you ain’t in it! You, and I, are not in the big club. By the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table has tilted folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care! Good honest hard-working people; white collar, blue collar it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest hard-working people continue, these are people of modest means, continue to elect these rich cock suckers who don’t give a fuck about you….they don’t give a fuck about you… they don’t give a FUCK about you. They don’t care about you at all… at all… AT ALL. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. Thats what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick thats being jammed up their assholes everyday, because the owners of this country know the truth. "

Postoji jako mnogo indikacija da US zaista propada, polako, ali sigurno i to ne zahvaljujuci nekim spoljasnjim neprijateljima, ili imigrantima, vec usled inherentnih katastrofalnih postavki samog sistema. Najcudnije je da sami US stanovnici to ili ne primecuju, ili im nije jasno koji su uzroci tog propadanja, te da nade u boljitak polazu u stabilnu budalu i one koji su do takvog stanja doveli. "That's why they call it the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it." -George Carlin I ne radi se samo o parama vec i o poverenju koji je svet imao u US demokratiju (iako su na indeksu demokratije tek negde oko 30-tog mesta). Najzalosnije je sto njihovi problemi uticu na celi svet. U sustini najbolje bi bilo kada bi se US, russija i Kina razbile na vise manjih drzava.

Trump’s Republicans are leading America to fiscal Armageddon Never before has the U.S. accumulated such high levels of peacetime debt, yet Congress and the Trump administration continue to spend. The results will be catastrophic. Is anyone steering this ship? Anyone following the current budget debate in Washington will inevitably ask themselves this question. Trump's «Big Beautiful Bill» does nothing to get the country's dangerous budget deficit under control. On the contrary, it is leading the U.S. closer to the abyss. America has been living beyond its means for years, and it should urgently start saving. But the majority of legislators in Washington don't care. So far, they have been able to safely leave the mountain of debt they have accumulated to the next generation – after all, future children cannot vote them out of office today. Unwilling Congress Republicans, described by the American media as «moderate,» want to postpone any savings measures until the day after tomorrow and are instead calling for new tax deductions for their own clientele. President Donald Trump has also promised austerity measures, but he has not delivered. His trade disputes and constant tariff threats – most recently against the EU and Apple – are a distraction from the hole in the national budget, but they hardly contribute to a solution. Meanwhile, the DOGE efficiency commission led by Tesla boss Elon Musk is turning out to be a useless PR stunt. Musk's people didn't even dare to tackle the really big spending items – Social Security, the military and health care. How the big, beautiful and expensive bill could cost you “The US is heading in the wrong direction. This bill would be one more nail in the coffin of a country falling under an enormous debt burden,” said Kristina Hooper, chief market strategist at Man Group, the world’s largest listed hedge fund.

Gravity Payments In 2013, Dan increased pay for all employees earning less than $100,000 by 20%, as a response to the lapse of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012. The company also provides unlimited paid time off to employees. Repeated pay increases resulted in "surprising" productivity jump from 30% to 40%, as did overall company profits. The company faced harsh criticism from Fox News and Rush Limbaugh who said he hoped the company would become "a case study in MBA programs on how socialism does not work, because it's gonna fail". ... Svakako bih jedan deo novca upotrebio za sebe, ali to bi vise bile neke sitnice, jer uglavnom vec imam sve sto mi treba. Veliko pitanje je na koji nacin bi se, sa vecim delom tog novca, moglo na najbolji nacin pomoci sto vecem broju ljudi ? Sin se trenutno veoma angazuje u pokretu Effective altruism.

‘It’s open season for corruption’: How Trump turned the White House into a cash cow Naked profiteering by the US president and his family has triggered alarm bells in the Maga movement Ben Shapiro, one of the most loyal soldiers in the Maga cavalry, said on his podcast this week: “I think if we switched the names to Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, we’d all be freaking out on the Right.” President Trump’s legacy of corruption, four years and 3,700 conflicts of interest later January 15, 2021 US federal judges consider creating own armed security force as threats mount Federal judges are discussing a proposal that would shift the armed security personnel responsible for their safety away from the Department of Justice (DoJ) and under their own control, as fears mount that the Trump administration is failing to protect them from a rising tide of hostility. The Wall Street Journal revealed on Sunday that the idea of creating their own armed security detail emerged at a meeting of about 50 federal judges two months ago. A security committee at the twice-yearly judicial conference, a policymaking body for federal judges, raised concerns about the increasing number of threats against judges following Trump’s relentless criticism of court rulings against his policies.

How the USA is losing importance In his second term, US President Donald Trump is abandoning America's long-standing global responsibilities. This creates opportunities for new players—particularly Europe and China. ... While the United States is indeed a significant trading power, its trade share of annual economic output (GDP) does not reach the level of China or the European Union. China is the most important trading partner of approximately 120 countries, the EU of approximately 80, while America is number one for only about 20 countries. And now that Trump has imposed or threatened comprehensive tariffs on friend and foe alike, the United States' position is likely to deteriorate further.

@ters Nevezano za politiku - skoro sam citao jednu veoma zanimljivu knjigu "Die Entdeckung des Unmöglichen" (The Limits of Science and the Science of Limits - 1998.) od John D. Barroa*, profesora matematike i fizike na Cambridgu. Knjigu preporucujem svakome ko se interesuje za nauku. Na puno primera on pokazuje veoma temeljne probleme i granice na koje danasnja nauka nailazi i prilicno je pesimistican u pogledu daljeg razvoja i otkrica, pre svega u oblasti fizike, ali i generalno u oblasti drugih oblasti nauke. Jedno slicno razmatranje od John Horgana (Barro mi se vise svidja, ali neka razmisljanja su slicna). *John Barrow is increasingly recognized as one of our most elegant and accomplished science writers, a brilliant commentator on cosmology, mathematics, and modern physics. Barrow now tackles the heady topic of impossibility, in perhaps his strongest book yet. Writing with grace and insight, Barrow argues convincingly that there are limits to human discovery, that there are things that are ultimately unknowable, undoable, or unreachable. He first examines the limits on scientific inquiry imposed by the deficiencies of the human mind: our brain evolved to meet the demands of our immediate environment, Barrow notes, and much that lies outside this small circle may also lie outside our understanding. Barrow investigates practical impossibilities, such as those imposed by complexity, uncomputability, or the finiteness of time, space, and resources. Is the universe finite or infinite? Can information be transmitted faster than the speed of light? The book also examines the deeper theoretical restrictions on our ability to know, including Godel's theorem--which proved that there were things that could not be proved--and Arrow's Impossibility theorem about democratic voting systems. Finally, having explored the limits imposed on us from without, Barrow considers whether there are limits we should impose upon ourselves. For instance, if the secrets of the atom are to be found only by recreating extreme environments at great financial cost, just how much should we devote to that quest? Weaving together this intriguing tapestry, he illuminates some of the most profound questions of science, from the possibility of time travel to the very structure of the universe.

"Extreme financial inequality is the biggest problem on this planet" The start-up founder Sebastian Klein made it to the multimillionaire with his app turn signal. Then he gave away ninety percent of his assets. He says: wealth is toxic.
