bosstrabs The India-Russia ‘strategic partnership’ balances China-Pakistan in Asia. Russia builds energy plants and sells military hardware to India. I know many in the West see China and Russia as on the same side, but it’s more intricate than that.
bosstrabs It’s no wonder you’re uselessly shit at ‘Biz Trans’ when you can’t even be educated on basic strategy, Wrongbuzzer.
hugopal Dan Anyone been in the cadets? Or fired a rifle? Asking for a friend… I’ve been clay pigeon shooting, if that counts?
bosstrabs hugopal I have also shot clays, in the highly hostile environment of a muddy field with barbour-clad Tories in Range Rovers. On the fractious England-Wales border.
Homegrove Dan I spent six months in the Finnish military when I was 19. It’s either that or the civil service, if you’re a man in Finland. The latter is a year. We have reservation army system. I shot at the range with an assault rifle there many times. In the shooting test I did alright, would have done better if in all the excitement hadn’t put two in the mark next to mine. That mark’s owner got gold though. 😂
Homegrove Mad_Cyril I would’ve also been kicked out of the family. My grandfather died fighting the USSR in WWII, my big brother is a colonel in the Finnish army, and my father is a retired cop. Let’s just say civil service was not an option.
bosstrabs Homegrove retired cop Do the police and military get along though? They have sneering disdain for each other in a lot of countries.
Old-Dutch Apparently Russia has now been kicked out of The Eurovision Song Contest. FINALLY A SANCTION WITH SOME TEETH!
