The War: 20 Apr 2022

 1.  Statement released by the German gov't this morning....indicating that heavy weapons (meaning tanks) probably will not be released by Germany to the Ukraine.  Lot of explanation is that these are still needed by Germany for 'obligations'. 

2.  The German Federal Minister for Development (SPD Party member) made a statement this AM that a clear policy on global food 'security' needs to exist.  In her remarks.....she hints that Putin is using food as a 'weapon' (meaning lack of food).

3.  The EU suggests (without a lot of facts) that around 20k mercenaries are in the war now....for Russia.  BS-factor?  Maybe a '8'.  Curiously, you'd have to pay them way more than the conscripts.  I'd be thinking of a factor of 20 to 50.
