He won her heart through (accidentally) showing he can fix a broken car without calling for assistance. A funny thing, considering both are graduates of arguably snotty and elitist British unis.

Which ("one of the most respected statesmen") does not stop him to be fast with his fists.

There is a paper to be written to identify where the Russian market system fails in adopting the new desired product. Because the customer (military) clearly would want it.
Initially Ukraine had similar problems with small drone production, but this was because the military undervalued it.

5/5 Only to make a malevolent man into one of the most powerful on Earth.

4/5 First time was with the takeover of Twitter “in the name of free speech”. And now with DOGE, “in the name of transparency and efficiency”.
It is amazingly effective. Think of people devoting their lives to save Earth (Tesla) or to realize dreams of interplanetary travel (SpaceX).

3/5 Because for a while whatever those missionaries do is justified to them as “we work for THE LIGHT, in a clearly dark world”. This technique will maybe even confuse the very people those missionaries burn at the stakes, in the name of THE LIGHT.
Musk used this technique at least twice now.

2/5 But this is not the main story here.
Perhaps it is a social technique for a leader to indoctrinate his people with legitimate high ground ideals, and then send them on a questionable mission.

In a way, this is big, as it concerns one of very few world-recognizable brands/products created in the Belarus and Russia. At the same time, it is a routine confirmation and example "what it means if a country has no rule-of-law and no property laws". You property can be taken any time.

How far from the frontline were these Iskander launchers?

Twisting otherwise worth pondering facts into a distorting propaganda, and/or swinging from one extremism (Thatcher/Reagan) to another (Lenin/Marx) will not help people.
UK has a dozen times larger population than Norway and a different resource situation. Have respect for the numbers and facts.

2/2 At the cost of 150$ per 24hrs truck+driver, this is (rounding) 100K$/day cost for the economy, assuming a stop takes only 5 minutes. If the queue at the checkpoint is 100 trucks long, the cost is 10M$/day.
A year like this would costs more than the value of those bombers.

1/2 250*10^9 ton*km road transport per year in Russia. Assuming a 40t load semi is checked every 100km, this is 170000 searches/day. If a search takes 5 min, a loss of 600 man-days per day. But.
If there is not enough people to search trucks without waiting lines, the cost (delay) explodes.

2/2 Ukraine did attack and destroyed Russian subs in the past, but again, only those which were used in this war.
So I guess Ukraine will not go after Russian strategic missile subs, unless those join the fight.
