Agreed. Putin is neglecting Maslow's hierarchy of needs, especially the two foundational ones, at his peril.An unexpected impact of the war on Russia itself is the weather. Russia's infrastructure was always unreliable but its this kind of thing which can make people turn
We need to get that in the response bar.

As Vladimir Putin is spending billions of pounds on his war in Ukraine, people across Moscow have been left freezing without heating or hot water. Temperatures in the capital plummeted to -30°C, and the old heating network is reportedly unable to withstand the weather. This has meant that more than 20,000 residents have been abandoned freezing in sub-zero temperatures recorded in their own homes for days.
This comes amid rumours of an incident at one of the largest ammunition plants in the town of Klimovsk, which some claim is connected with the problems. According to reports, Klimovsk 'is heated by one departmental boiler house of the local cartridge plant', which has broken down.
This has resulted in temperatures INSIDE the apartments reaching -10C and there were spontaneous protests in the town. A resident complained: 'The police arrived quickly to disrupt us. I wish they would bring back the heating as fast as they dispatched the cops [to disperse us].'
Nicely ironicThat must be a big misunderstanding. It was Europe who was expected to freeze during winter.

Agreed ..... 300,000 a month is.... 10,000 a day ...... roughly 400 an hour or 1 every 9 seconds. Not buying it. And 5,200 operators. From where? EXisting troops re-tasked? New recruits (and we've seen how well new Russian soldiers perform.....)?again, hoping that these are falsely reported numbers:
Russia produces 300,000 FPV drones monthly, trains 5,200 operators
In a 2023 report, cited by Russian state media, Russia's Ministry of Defense revealed the training of a remarkable 5,200 FPV and other drone operators.bulgarianmilitary.com
And we have seen that Russians have a history of over reporting production outputs to their leaders.
I've made that request before. Apparently the forum uses a set package layout. We managed to remove the "Dumb" response icon, but adding an Off Topic" one is not feasible. Shame.We need to get that in the response bar.
