An empty land is also very suitable for the small part of Jewish people – living all around the world countries (IRAN, Russia, India, USA,..) without having any sanctions or deadly threats outside Israel, but in UKRANIA ! – So Mr. Methan-Yahoo: give you the knife, pls. into Your heart, then you’ll be free and can return to your Zionist devil, your Zionist master!
US-Gov + its sponsored (Harris 350 mn$ ad hoc from whome?) deep-women black&white Trans-Gender UKR proxy is the same proxy master as before in Afghan/Irak war. So no illusion on future help of billionaires like Musk or Durow , .. exept re-acting strongly!

….,…………,…..,.
For some time have entertained the notion that there is a greater than 50% chance that one of the intended results of the SMO is to depopulate Eastern Ukraine if not Central Ukraine as well.

Mission (mainly) accomplished.
But almost 20 million went west, it’s a question of time before they understand thab being serfs in the west is much worse than a rebuilt ukraine with a thriving economy linked to the RF
Someone was talking about empty country… plenty to take it back

Which you can do when you are adding lift not drag
Posted by: Yarpos | Aug 31 2024 11:06 utc | 456
The wings are a uniform, untapered profile. With fixed drag losses at the roots and wingtips, simply increasing the wingspan, while leaving all other parameters unchanged, will at least preserve the existing lift-to-drag ratio. It’ll actually improve it a little, within practical limits, and up to an asymptotic maximum, the wings already had quite a high aspect ratio.

^^^^ Sorry, I got that a bit mixed up, increasing wingspan in the described scenario is enormously beneficial, up to practical limits of materials and structure weight.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift-induced_drag
… According to the equations above, for wings generating the same lift, the induced drag is inversely proportional to the square of the wingspan. A wing of infinite span and uniform airfoil segment (or a 2D wing) would experience no induced drag.[11] …

Last night’s attacks on Russia were pretty serious, it looks as if power and energy wars are in full swing.

german nazi-outlet welt.de once again:
How Moscow is acting to trigger a new refugee movement in Europe
sadly behind a paywall, would love to read that drivel. somehow germany never sees the refugee crisis made by america and nato. cucks.
Russia is once again supplying more gas than America – these figures show where Europe’s gas really comes from.
With “Freedom Gas”, the USA wanted to free its European allies from Russian energy dependency. However, current data shows that the Putin regime has even been able to expand its position as Europe’s energy supplier. An extension is also in sight for the Ukraine transit.
paywall again. little usual jabs at the “putin regime”

re: green lights
I was just quickly scanning the thread (too much troll scat polluting the place for a close read) and noticed people talking about green lights from aircraft in the Ukraine and wondering about lasers and such, but I didn’t see the link for the imagery/video so I cannot say for sure, but it definitely sounds like laser scanning: alien green lights in Florida.
Normally, you cannot see the laser beams themselves because collimated light beams (lasers) do not “leak” light to the sides for your eyes to detect. The photons are all travelling parallel, and normally none take a detour off to the retinas of observers on the sidelines. That said, in humid or dusty conditions some of those photons will collide with obstructing junk in the air and scatter, making the beams visible.
“But those videos show cones of light, not beams!”
It is indeed just a thin beam, but it is scanning either side-to-side, or in a circle very quickly; much too quickly for your eye to see the motion of the beam.
Think of old cathode ray TV sets. The images on the screen were “painted” with a single electron beam (or three in the case of color TVs) scanning the screen. Could you follow the beam with your eyes as it scanned? Of course not. All you see is the completed image. The laser beam from an aircraft doing mapping scans is likewise too fast to see the beam itself, and instead you just see the beam’s swept area, and then only where there are enough particulates or vapor in the air to scatter the beam.
My money is on these images (that I have not seen) depicting laser scanning from an aircraft in humid or dusty/smokey conditions.
