Russia has lost a lot of senior officers already which will affect their overall operational effectiveness. Senior Officers need many years of training and experience and can't be easily replaced.

What kind of antisemitic, communist, muslim fundamentalist terrorist are you to suggest such an outrageous idea?

The whole thing is stupid and pointless. Murdering people is just what they do.

The current move towards electrification would not have happened or would have taken a lot over without Tesla. The Model 3 really was a huge breakthrough by showing that you can build a car that people actually want to drive and make it affordable. That pretty much made all the excuses of the incumbents moot.

This sort of thing has always been standard practice in the automotive industry. The point is, this won't work to paper over the cracks in China with their massive oversupply.

The Chinese EV industry is overdue for consolidation. There are too many players chasing too few customers. This could be done in a relatively orderly fashion that leaves a few big players that are internationally competitive. Or they can keep kicking the can down the road and hope for the best, until the inevitable collapse. Gee, I wonder which option they'll choose.

I can positively confirm that the German mainstream media game never reported on my vodka fuelled antics. Might have to do with the fact that I prefer beer anyway.

After the third bottle of vodka, I too like to threaten everybody with nuclear war. The mainstream media are suppressing that information, though.

Always was.

I'll bring the sandbags, you bring the ropes.

Also, the truck in question will be pretty cheap and suitable for developing countries, so that's Jeffie accidentally doing the right thing for once. Just because he's involved in financing some project, doesn't mean it's bad.

I wanted to go to the US since the eighties but I couldn't afford it back then. By the time I could afford it, 9/11 had rolled around together with the suspension of civil rights and all the associated insanity. Then I thought I'd wait for sanity to return. I'm still waiting and I'm getting increasingly pessimistic I'll live to see that.

I think this is also the reason they have so many failures lately. They used to have no problem attracting top talent. I don't think that's the case any more.

Of course! Because Jesus loves you!

About time too.
