  2. Isn't it interesting how Russia and China have such low nominal GDP but it's complete deception as their PPP GDP is far greater. Eg. Russia is $28,000 PPP GDP/capita but nominal is only $12,500 or so. China's PPP is $18,000. I think it has something to do with how they are much more manufacturing and real goods & raw materials based countries, like the USA up to the 1950s. They are the opposite of de-industrialized and extremely financialized service economies in the West including US.
  3. With the withdrawal of Wagner PMC for rebuilding, Ukraine has begun their counteroffensive at the Z-Oblast front. So far it appears that the news flow claiming that the West ran out of reserve ammo, Western production of ammunition is poor, and Ukraine's ammunition situation is very depleted is so far evident. There are no weeks long interdiction strike operations (instead it was the Russian air force and missiles that destroyed many targets- including dozens of warehouses and ammo dumps along with strike footage of 60 Ukrainian radar and artillery systems destroyed by Kamikaze drones ) The Ukr attack performance has been quite poor from 6/4-6/8, almost no ground gained and so far it has been a turkey shoot with high Ukrainian losses of men and material. Russian forces claim up to 5000 Ukr casualties and hundreds of vehicles knocked out, including visually confirmed drone footage of French and German tanks. They also released footage of over 75 Ukr vehicles getting blown up, more will certainly appear. This appears to be first stage of the offensive, and there will be a middle and final act, still to come. What is striking however the lack of fire support, this shows that the Russian strategy to drag out the war and force Ukraine to use up thousands of artillery shells a day has had a material impact. The big 1,000 dollar question is whether or not the USA is committed enough to self-cannibalize its own ammunition stockpiles to continue the war. If they are perhaps Ukraine will have a nasty surprise up their sleeve in the coming weeks. I doubt that this offensive will last more than a month and they can terminate the offensive at any time and shift to defense. Overall, if these results continue the war may end with a negotiation in a few months due the collapsed Ukrainian ammo supply. Without ammunition Ukraine will have to terminate the war and accept a peace deal. It seems overall that the maneuver warfare and tanks have become terribly dangerous due to modern ISR, drones, artillery and PGM. It's just too easy to destroy 20 million dollar tanks and other armored vehicles.
  4. This is obviously at a party (from the books too), Geralt hates doublets. Witcher Geralt Voice Actor Has Cancer (gamerant.com) Doug Cockle, the beloved voice actor behind Geralt of Rivia in CD Projekt Red's The Witcher trilogy, has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

  6. lovely british woman, wife material
  7. modernized Cammy. They gave her crazy muscular legs and butt:
  8. Pretty sad message for the developers to know that they failed. The concept of a Gollum game is pretty bad imho. Gollum should be a side quest in a full LOTR, not a whole thing. He's really gross lol.
  9. There's a conversation path to avoid fighting Olgeird, never knew it!
  10. @Enrico_sw You might like her. She is from Wyoming so you can imagine her as someone you'd meet in Red Dead Redemption. She is also extremely fit Alex “Goose” (@gainsbygoose) • Instagram photos and videos Goose (@gainsbygoose) | TikTok

  12. TBH Carmella has the looks to be highly successful on youtube if she worked harder on her channel. She only has 8 videos. Just her physical appearance alone would guarantee thousands and thousands of subscribers. The sexy women just post videos of themselves posing and so forth and an army of people follow them. Although it might conflict with her still active career as a model if she puts low effort but super sexy (and successful) modeling content on it. Also there is enormous attention from males..
  13. ^ that is myrthe bolt kristina mendoza
  14. forgot that carmella has a youtube channel. she hasn't posted anything for 2 yrs. Hailey gave up after 2 videos (3 yrs ago). Madison headrick hasn't posted anything for a very long time. Naty roser hasn't posted anything for 2 yrs and hers was great. Carmella Rose - YouTube
  15. With Luke Skywalker, his heroes' journey was not over at the end of "Return of the Jedi". He won at the end but there is still the struggles of middle age and old age and what to change and what to do. There is a lot of stories to tell. The sequels could have been about that, but instead they ruined it by essentially doing a woke re-boot. I'm appreciating the prequels more these days.
  16. Nolan's batman films are really great, and it's amazing that he was able to film something that complex about superheros and make it believable. Have you played Arkham City? It's a great game and also very well written lore-wise and in depth. The Superman comics go more in-depth, I think one of the issues with Superman is his loneliness and purpose (as he is basically a god). Overall I prefer Batman too. Ragner Lothbrok in Vikings has the classical heroes' journey not just in his actions but in his internal struggle. Not everyone liked the road he took in Season 4 but I think it was right for him and he makes his final choices. This is one of the best Superman comics I've come across (also made into a cartoon movie): Superman: Red Son - Wikipedia
