Russia's population is 140 million. They're not going to run out of people. 17% of those or about 24 million are fighting age males (18-44). If you really need to you can definitely recruit 15-60 and woman. Not sure if this is wha

Nothing happens in China without government support. In China you either do what the government wants or you are in jail or dead. If Xi wanted Russia to stop the war, Russia would stop the war. The war is useful for China because it splinte

Is the threat of Russia using nuclear weapons enough to let it take all of Ukraine? Other countries? Russia is not going to use nuclear weapons.

The word on the street is that he's using North Korean soldiers because he can get them and he prefers that they are killed and not Russians. But he'll send Russians too. You're applying western thinking here. The same sort o

I (obviously) did not mean "dependent" in the sense of can't survive without it. The energy prices in the US reflect the low price energy products they buy from Canada. It's ridiculous and false to say that in general Ca

North Korea is a China agent in this context. China is pretty much supplying all the goods that went away due to western sanctions, everything Russian factories need, and buying all the exports that the west is trying to sanction. My statem

Trump is pushing it after having talked to the Russians. I mean I don't have a direct line to Putin but if Russia isn't open to a ceasefire then none of this even matters. The fight between Trump and Zelensky is about Ukraine agre

As long as China supports Russia there is no way Ukraine is going to break Russia. Putin cares nothing about the human cost from his side and it's unlikely Ukraine can have enough of an advantage to be able to push back. See the "

The asymmetry in the taxes is related to US dependency on Canadian oil. If the US were to tax our oil at 25% every American would feel that at the pump and in their pocket. They're gonna feel it anyways but more so. The Canadian conser

I think what makes this better is the emergence of new competitive business areas. E.g. AI companies are fighting for talent because they want to grow fast and beat the competition. Established companies sitting on a revenue stream and pile

It's really hard to time selling and buying back even if you're right and a crash is imminent. On the other hand, other than the great depression, most crashes recover fairly quickly (a few years). If you're invested for the

Once you've seen enough similar systems you have a pretty good idea. You'll ramp up much faster than someone who has not. It will take time.

Chesterton's Fence is also just an argument for conservatism and never changing anything because there is no end to the argument that you don't really understand how things are done and why. Maybe "Academia" does need

As the joke goes only two things are certain in life, death and income taxes. Seriously though- yes. But it moves the needle a little bit on the expected value. If the tariffs survive for a year it'll move the needle more.

What specific tires do you have on those vehicles? Performance motorcycle tires wear much faster than non-performance (or your average car tire). Sportier car tires generally have softer compounds that wear faster. How you drive your vehicl
