Reply to comment by TallAd3975 in Russia Says Ukraine Using Long-Range US Artillery by TallAd3975

My thought was more along the lines of Russian propaganda needing to keep up the general narrative that Russia is not fighting a "fair" fight with Ukraine. They are fighting against the entire western world.

When the war drags on, and Russia keeps having setbacks, they will say it is because they are fighting the West.

If they really were fighting against all of NATO (they would be crushed), and were doing as well as they are now, that would be impressive instead of pathetic.

And if Putin ever is actually forced into peace talks where Russia gets less than they have been demanding, it is important for the Russian public to believe that this is a war Russia was fighting against the entire world, for their survival. Not a war against their much smaller neighbor in an attempt to expand borders.

Well luckily Russian warnings are about as serious as Chinese warnings.

Actual Russian territory has been struck (Belgorod as one example) and Crimea has been hit very hard a few times.

The only retaliation was yet another cruise missile strike against civilian infrastructure, that would have happened anyways.

The oligarchs won't nuke shit. The moment they do they know they get into a war that's fought inside Russia rather than in Ukraine which will, regardless of any other outcomes, end their lives.

For many of these stuff, many of the manufacturing and crucially, supply chain down to sourcing of raw material had been completely moved over to China over last 30 years or so. Most of us focus on assembly of the final phone, which is not yet fully automated, in part due to stringent requirements and labor cost (humans are still cheaper), but more and more aspects of the manufacturing process is and will be automated. Just a matter of time.

Russia WISHES it was 15%

For instance , on PAPER Russia has 10,000 T-72 MBTs and have "only" lost 1200

So is Russia just mobilizing thousands more T-72s to fill all the losses?

No... They're also being forced to dig up arcane T-54s and shipping them to the front

15%? It's closer to 85% for Russia

Reply to Cases of Marburg going unreported in Equatorial Guinea, WHO says by Every-Philosophy-719

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 84%. (I'm a bot)

> The Marburg outbreak in Equatorial Guinea continues to grow, the World Health Organization said Wednesday, as the global health agency stated that it knows of confirmed cases that the country has not yet reported.

> "WHO is aware of additional cases and we have asked the government to report these cases officially to WHO," Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during the WHO's weekly press conference.

> The additional cases are laboratory-confirmed, said Abdi Mahamud, WHO's director of alert and response coordination, though neither he nor Tedros revealed how many additional cases the agency has learned of.
