Nigel described Russia taking causalities due to stupidity of their commanders.
That is not Russia waging an attritional war on Ukraine, that is Russian field commanders being idiots.
The goal of attritional war is to destroy the fighting capabilities of the enemy's armed forces at a faster...
I am certainly not a bot and can definitely tell you in my part of Germany (former East) that if the Russian military showed up here, they'd be greeted with sausages and vodka at the border with maps pre-translated into Russian of the quickest routes to the Kanzleramt.
Nigel,

Without a doubt the reason for Germany's slow-down post-Euro is multi-faceted and its not exclusively the fault of the euro - but the euro did play a non-insignificant role in its slow down.
A "hard-locked" currency was initially thought to be beneficial for Germany as seemingly overnight, the...

An example - a political party cannot directly send state contracts to entities that donate to them. That is per se corruption and strictly...
Wow everyone, thanks so much for your answers.
I saw the topic come up over and over again - so I will address this - "Why American gear"
Basically looks, size and price. While it is possible to get native 240/440 stuff in German that is both adequately sized and looks nice, it runs around...
Hey All,
I am in Germany and will be importing an entire kitchen from the USA to Germany. I have a few questions for you high-voltage guys and would love to pick your brains.
