silentbob Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I wonder what is happening in to GTA because of this. A lot of drivers from old work place said that a lot of their kids played in some sort of hockey league. Tons of Russian kids play on these 18+ leagues and are sent here to live on their own. Now for that to happen, these Russians must have some good cash behind them. So I wonder if these sanctions will either 1) force these kids back to mother Russia or 2) parents were aware of what was coming and loaded them with money ahead of time?

Zaku3 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 From most of the pics I have seen the destroyed/knocked out vehicles have been mainly BMPs. Perhaps Russia is onto something with the idea of the T15 heavy IFV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share Posted February 24, 2022 If nothing else, this invasion should solidify the global security issue of moving away from gas/oil. The EU is afraid to go hard on Russia (for good reason) because their gas will be cut off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well US oil and gas is about to make a ton of money selling to Europe and probably about to see US production explode again, a big factor in why it was so expensive before this in the US was because producers were sending more to Europe where they could make more money.

Stuxnet is impressive, but just the beginning. Some of our private companies can more than hold their own against Russia as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
