The threading going on has been ridiculous. I've skipped posting now over a dozen things I've seen in the last week because of them having little relation to one another either than somehow related to this war in a broader sense.

Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine
And now I think a nuclear reactor has been hit?

Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Beware or hyperbole where the nuclear reactor is concerned. There's a lot of it. Here is a helpful mini-thread.

It seems, to this political paranoid, that Vlad is almost daring the west to get involved in the conflict.

Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine
There will be so many consequences from this war. On the less important, but more personal side the company I work for will be impacted seriously because we used to work a lot with partners from both countries and for some things alternatives are difficult to find. Maybe in China, but it will take some time to organize.
A bit more importantly there will be a serious crunch in availability of space flights for satellite launches. With Russia and Ukraine out pretty much the only company with any meaningful extra capacity is Elon Musk's Spacex. ULA is very expensive plus all launches are booked till 2025. Ariane has no big rockets right now and all other providers have very small rockets or can launch 2-3 per year max. Not counting Chinese which Western companies can't use anyway.

Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine
I think China is going to be the one winner in all of this. Besides the impact of sanctions turning global companies towards them, the Russian market is going to be a lot more attractive to them since they offer cheap things and there is no better alternative.Suliso wrote: ↑Fri Mar 04, 2022 8:23 am There will be so many consequences from this war.

For example, Russian car manufacturing is pretty much halted because of all the global companies that have production in Russia pulling out + Russian manufacturers won't have access to parts (lots of them use parts from European companies) + no demand for pricier vehicles due to the economic crisis. Great opening for China to overtake that market.

But generally you're right, most often it will be Chinese companies benefiting. Maybe a bit also elsewhere in Eastern Europe, but the scale is not the same.
We'd happily collaborate with Middle Eastern or South American chemical companies, but they simply don't exist beyond some basic generic manufacturing.
