The primary purpose is to ensure neutrality/no nato membership. Ukraine can probably negotiate peace on just those terms and claim victory for remaining nazified.

Russians have food and vodka. It is likely the most self sufficient industrial/war nation on earth.

You don't have to believe his denials. Listen to what he is saying now.

Getting military to attack the "enemy within" with specific examples of Adam Shift and Nancy Pelosi is extreme fascism towards zionist neocon allies. Or other examples in general "lunatic radical left" is reference to squad.

mass deporting 10m+ people is only practical without any due process whatsoever. Deporting an entire Haitian community here legally because someone reported a cat missing (came back next day) or geese are gone for the winter is pretty extreme fascism. It's as though he was as mad as being fact checked over his hurricane sharpie, and attacking any journalist who points out his absurdities would follow suit.

No one being allowed to protest against genocide is anti American. Calling everyone who disagrees with genocide pro-hamas anti semites is already a thing, but legitimizing the accusation as fact is fascism.

H2 only FC ebikes are not well developed or popular yet. Drones with FCs are actively developed as density/weight is a huge factor for range. Very small fuel cells, 500w or 1000w have applications in powering a home (with solar supplement) because they can run 24/7 and charge batteries. Hooking up torches or burners to these cannisters can also provide clean indoor cooking or heating a box of sand/water in a room.

For an ebike, it is touring/camping applications that this really enables. Charging a battery when you need extended range, and it becomes worth the extra weight. Even a 100w fuel cell slow charging a spare battery while riding is big range extension, and provides overnight full charge. Combustion cooking and heating is fine for high supplementary energy.

A H2 economy would have these cartridges in similar locations to swappable propane tanks.

Now they just need to solve the energy consumption and cost parity questions surrounding green hydrogen.

Toyota research and products are ahead of their time relative to cheap green H2. This is an advance over using 300bar "paintball tanks" by going to 525bar, and it looks a bit like an apple product design. Needs far more electrolysis production capacity and deployments. The global project pipeline is long though, so we should get there. Current focus is on large scale electrolyzers with specific offtakers which is slow, but a step towards broader distribution.

PE pipes used for NG seem "good enough" https://www.pe100plus.com/PPCA/HYDROGEN-TRANSPORT-IN-POLYMER-PIPES-FOR-NATURAL-GAS-DISTRIBUTION-TEN-YEARS-OF-EXPERIENCE-p1737.html

PTFE is known to be better. Fiber reinforcement is mostly an outside layer to increase pressure resistance. Putting PE or PTFE inside existing steel pipes would also work.

Spoolable FRP pipes up to 4" in diameter can fit on a truck. Rated for 200bar. Pre covid, this was quoted as $50k/km as full deployment cost with 10s of km per day buildout rate. Spoolable pipe that can fit on ships has no diameter limit.

I don't know details of manufacturing process, but spools, plastic pipe extrusion, and fiber reinforcement should be highly automatable.

This has been reported for possibly being unreliable fact/source. Israeli source claiming it already happened: https://www.timesofisrael.com/iran-and-saudi-arabia-hold-joint-naval-exercise-in-sea-of-oman/

China did broker a peace/reconcilliation between KSA and Iran earlier this year. At the same time, US has promised KSA nuclear weapons if it stays onside with Israel's genocide more recently, even as it pretends to advance ceasefires that KSA positions to support.

KSA's alignment is not 100% to US empire any more, even if this announcement embarasses the empire.
