Russia's economy is smaller than California's, yet we still pretend that they're a massive threat so that we can continue buying aircraft carriers. Graphic should have USA fish about 10x bigger than Russia fish.

Also, needs Iran and China fishes.

... and the opposing fishes should be shown buying Russia's oil with their frowny faces. "I can't believe that you're making me buy your oil, you are deplorable. Here's 50 billion dollars. Jerk. You're a jerk."

In a way. But Russia is a lot more willing to spill blood.

They're regularly having weeks as bad as 9/11 and they're just not all that notable.

If it came down to both countries fighting for their lives like WWII, then yeah, the 20x would be accurate.

Russia used to have a lot of tanks left over from the soviet union. Ukraine has blown most of them up.

Electrified everything I own because fuck Putin. I think the next think to look at is a battery to use off peak energy. Just looked and it appears some much better capacity/£ options are available since I last looked. Its always looking more and more tempting but then I always think about what if I wait for the next one to come out which is even batter?

Some companies offer modular batteries, so instead of buying like one big 15kWh battery, you can get 3 5kWh batteries. And there's usually a cabinet or server rack where you can put them together.

That way it's more scalable and easier to add capacity. And when it's time to upgrade or replace them, you can do that in smaller steps instead of all at once.

Have wondered about those, not sure how hard it would be to connect to the whole house. A single ring I could probably do quite easily. Think you need proper sockets/plugs to do it safely rather than the technically works but you may die if you touch the pin kinda cable. Then just flip the circuit breaker to remove that ring from the grid.

But that wouldn't cover cooking or my heat pump. Not sure if that could properly be done as a DIY job.

Though doing 1 ring from the battery would make it pretty easy to measure my non cooking/heating energy usage. Suppose lighting is separate but that should be all LEDs anyway.

To be completely fair, Russia has been the number 1 donor of tanks to Ukraine, so they weren't all blown up.

And we need all the fish on the right giving missiles to Israel and Israel as it slaughters a little Palestinian fish and they should be sucking off America as they both try to kill the Iran fish.

Trump asks Zelensky to not attack Russian refineries.

Imagine your country having been invaded, Russia is trying to kill you, has brought in soldiers not just from Russia but from other countries. You've toured countless bombed cities, and regularly see soldiers and civilians, men, women, and children missing limbs. You regularly get casualty numbers, names, and stories of your fellow countrymen.... for years. Year after year.

...and some fat American President who watches Fox news and is a child rapist, is telling you to go easy on the country invading you.

I think at least China, Iran and North Korea could be added as participants on Russia's side

Are we counting Belarus as its own country or as the puppet state it actually is?

The pedant in me cant help but point out that that isnt how shark anatomy works. Male sharks have two analogous structures, called claspers, and they are located on the back of their pelvic fins.
