The Beirut explosion in 2020 was caused by 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate (equivalent to around 500 - 1,100 tons of TNT)
Judging by the before/after images will be more than enough.

The Beirut explosion in 2020 was caused by 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate (equivalent to around 500 - 1,100 tons of TNT)True. I have this dream of Ukraine filling a Russian-flagged cargo ship with twenty-thousand tons of TNT and sailing under the Kerch bridge, and then boom. For comparison, when the SS Mont-Blanc entered Halifax harbour on December 6, 1917 her cargo was 2,300 tons of picric acid, 500 tons of TNT, and 10 tons of guncotton. The resultant Halifax Explosion levelled much of the city and killed approximately 2,000 people and injured about 9,000. Perhaps 20,000 tons is overkill, as we don't want the explosion to appear as a WMD to both NATO and a nuclear armed Putin.

In the future, there will be those who fought and those who refused to do so. I would not want to be one of the latter and live as an outcast or in shame. This conflict will define Ukraine for decades if not centuries to come.Will Ukraine's young men readily step forward, or will many run for the border.
Most definitely. Anyone who think women are the fairer sex and not up to fighting have not come across a real women - just look at the likes of this video I posted recently or read up on what women warriors have done many times in history:Is it time to conscript single women?
Israel is an interesting case (and one that could prove to be a model for a future Ukraine) in that the culture is very much "one family" with a sense of service to the nation inculcated very strongly.The Israelis fight as one people, because as Golda Mier said, they have no where else to go.
NATO salesman of the year for 3 consecutive years is an outstanding achievement.And now the award for the best NATO recruiter...
While it is amusing, I also fear he is going for the big prize of influencing/arranging one big member to pull out.NATO salesman of the year for 3 consecutive years is an outstanding achievement.
