Russia Discussion

 In the last hour, I watched a N-24 commercial news piece here in Germany.  Topic?  Russia.

So Medvedev (number two guy) has done a speech this morning and says that Russia will build 1,500 tanks.....this year (2023).

BS factor (1-to-10)?  Ten....solid.

Between the drafted guys in uniform or dead....jump-starting an entire industry like this and claiming you can get out a thousand-plus tanks?  Will never happen.  If they were really hopefull....I could see 300 simplified design tanks being built.  Don't count on advanced technology being built into them.

His big claim is that they'd have 3 shifts of people working on this.  Maybe if they brought in a quarter of the folks in the age group of 12-to-14....this might work.

Then he said this amazing thing....Russia will start to aim rockets/missiles at Berlin.

What'll happen now?  I would imagine some news people will ask....does Germany have a defensive system to prevent this.  The general answer?  Well....yes.  

If 30-odd missiles were launched at one time?  I'm not buying into the idea that all 30 could be 'blasted'.  

This suddenly getting to front-page news?  Yeah....it might be discussed by people a good bit.  

All that effort to hook the air-raid sirens back up?  Well....if you go to mid-2022....that was hyped-up to ensure the national system worked.  Not a lot of details were explained about this, but I would imagine that the leadership saw this missile 'warning' eventually coming up.

With all the climate change worries going on....this Russia 'attack' business is hard to place....higher or lower than climate change?
