Russlands invasjon av Ukraina [Ny tråd, les førstepost]

[jallajall]

Citing low munitions stockpiles, the Pentagon is urging weapons contractors to accelerate missile production, doubling or even quadrupling production rates, to prepare for possible war with China.

Moreover, Washington needs to assess its current foreign commitments, primarily in Ukraine and Israel, before it depletes its current stores further, requiring more money, more industry, and more time to get back up to fighting shape. In other words, say experts, put the much needed focus back on the U.S. national interest even if that means turning off the spigot for other countries.

Experts told RS that ramping up missile production, in the way the Pentagon wants, could take years, and likely new weapons manufacturing facilities and infrastructure.

The U.S. stockpile is low because the Pentagon has burnt through many of its munitions in ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Israel — at a rate faster than it can replace them.

Riktignok mye gamlinger her, russere som har bodd i Latvia siden Sovjet. 
Bedre sent enn aldri kansje, men er jo litt spesielt å se at de over 60+ setter seg på skolebenken for å lære seg latvisk. Er nok dyrt for mange også, spesielt om testen koster 60% av den måndelige pensjonen for noen.

"I didn't take courses because I simply don't have the money," one Russian-speaking woman told Current Time outside a language testing center. "I receive a pension of 340 euros every three months. And they sent me a piece of paper from Riga saying that I have to pay 70 euros for this."
 

Er det urimeleg å forvente at desse har lært seg språket når dei har budd der i snart 35 år?
