@Harry__Faulkner Internet says...
* US imports 12 mil tons from Canada
* Belarus produces 6 mil tons total & is landlocked
* Moisture doesn't play nice with Potash, so ocean shipping seems sketchy
* Saskatchewan is the main producer. Shipping to US Midwest is easy
Trump is likely lying (again)
@wartranslated Ukraine has achieved
* Intelligence on which targets to hit
* Developing weapons with the needed range
* Good enough accuracy for the weapons
Based on the above, I have them able to overcome the netting & penetrate the last few meters to hit the target.
Plastic netting?
@Mpolymer@nytimes The US massed huge numbers of troops to oust Saddam 2 decades ago. The US military never came close to massing enough troops to change Iran.
Trump was quite dumb to think Bibi's plan of airpower & some Kurds would be enough to changes things in Iran.
Now the world suffers.
@Tendar At 38 Seconds, a woman is limping through the door wearing a T-Shirt with what looks like a North Korean flag on the front.
Would many non North Koreans wear that type of clothing?
@AdamKinzinger I don't remember Ukraine having much in the way of large aircraft that the US is using to launch munitions into Iran. So it is quite unlikely that Biden was sending those types of munitions to Ukraine.
So Trump is doing a *Sleight of Hand* (Lie) when he suggests that.
@wartranslated@DrnBmbr Lead drones take out the nets with drones for the targets following.
They might have enough spare manufacturing capacity to make nets, but I doubt that they have enough spare capacity to make the structures to support the nets.
It will take a while to install all of that.
@Tendar Since Russia has been unable to stop the drone attacks on their facilities in Russia & Crimea, their repair crews are in a losing battle.
Even if they are able to quickly return a damaged facility to service, there is nothing stopping Ukraine from hitting it again.
@Mirosla91247253@Tendar Crimea is also part of the battlefield since the Russian Mil is there. If the logistics problem for Crimea gets so bad that the Russian Mil has to retreat to Russia, is advancing a few more km in Kramatorsk - Donestsk worth it?
They follow orders from Putin...until they don't
@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Trump had US Mil doing Red Carpet for Putin in Aug '25 because he had Putin as special. Now the same Putin isn't even able to solve fuel lines in Russia.
How many in Putin's security detail? It might not be large enough to protect him.

@citrinowicz Insanity Is Doing the Same Thing Over & Over Again & Expecting Different Results
Trump isn't very bright, but TBD is if he is Insane. There are a few Iran Hawks, but majority of US opposes *Boots On The Ground*. He doesn't want defeat, but he is not close to getting a victory.
@paralucent@Tendar I understand that, but is there good data collection, analysis & projections on how the situation will be for Russia with fuel over the next
* Two Weeks
* One month
* Two Months
We all see the videos of important things being blown up in Russia, but I would like to see analysis
@Tendar Are the small box trucks being used for Local deliveries or Long Haul?
If they are being used for Long Haul, then that is inefficient and suggests that Russia is running out of trucks for transport.
@Tendar Russia hasn't been able to protect itself from Ukraine drones for a while, yet Russian civilians continued to stay in Crimea. If Russia is unable to protect it's interior, why did Russian civilians think that Russia would be able to protect Crimea?
They should start thinking.
@michaeldweiss Russians going back to Russia will also bring an end to the conflict.
It took a few months, but Trump finally accepted that he wasn't getting a win in Iran in the near future
Russia - Ukraine has been going for over 4 years. Worse consequences for Putin if he doesn't get a win
@NightShiftMD It didn't matter what Trump, Bibi, Reza Pahlavi etc said about regime change, the only way that it would/could happen was with *Boots On The Ground*.
Actions speak louder than words & the US never acted to have enough troops to invade.
Trump. Bibi. Reza etc just spout Words.
