2020 Collapse

How southern Spain's Cordoba (famous tourist destination in Andalucia) looks like nowadays: closed-down shops, "haunted" empty streets, countless shop spaces out for rental (just that no-one rents them out), homeless people sleeping on the streets... very sad.

12-13% of Spain's economy comes from tourism. The entire tourism industry has collapsed. Dragging various other connected activities/branches of the economy: food industry, transportation, entertainment...

Economic Collapse here in Cordoba, Spain! Looks like a ghost town.

Skid Row in Los Angeles is a hellhole. I believe it has been run-down full of poor people for a very long time, but for some reason Skid Row makes a great place for filming collapse videos. Regardless, it is worth watching!

Putin was threatening harshly yesterday. I don't know if you know about that.

What happened that today they suddenly decided to withdraw like a castrated bear?

Did someone scare them? Why the sudden unannounced withdrawal 1 day after Putin's rough threats?

My next thought is: I wonder if the US/NATO will also do the same or, if they stay there in Russia's backyard to keep showing of their force.

The Americans de-escalated by removing the ship, he has no good reason for pick out a fight at that time, so decided to end the "training". It's interesting how they think. It's like medieval times when you will challenge someone and unsheathe 20% of your sword, but if the other guy doesn't touch his sword, you can't strike him.

Of course, the hand still remains on the handle of the sword. :D

The UK is on track to sign a free trade deal with Australia in June after “major breakthroughs” in this week’s negotiations, international trade secretary Liz Truss has said this afternoon.

She added that the remainder of the details would be sorted out in a “sprint” over the next few weeks.

“We have made major breakthroughs over the past few days and an agreement is now in sight. I want to thank Dan personally for the contribution he has made and for his desire to get this deal done”, a statement read.

“This is a deal that will deliver for Britain and all parts of our economy. It is a win-win for both nations. It is a fundamentally liberalising agreement that will support jobs across the country and help us emerge stronger from the pandemic, strengthening ties between two democracies who share a fierce belief in freedom, enterprise and fair play.

“We will spend the next few weeks ironing out details and resolving outstanding issues, with a view to reaching a deal by June.”

City A.M. reported earlier this year that trade negotiations with Australia were centred around areas such as telecommunications, business visas and agricultural exports.

UK negotiators are keen for the deal to extend free mobile roaming for Brits travelling to Australia and to open up the country’s market to UK telecommunications companies, while Canberra has been calling for reduced tariffs for products like Australian wine.

I know about that. That was 10 days ago.

They decided "not to deploy" some ships. By no means, did they "remove" any ships from the Black Sea.
And this happened last week, so I don't think this explains why Russia immediately withdrew like a castrated bear.

You right, there's some other reason for it. Maybe some behind the scene deal. But the most important reason might be the massive deployment made no sense in the first place. The longer the troops are out in the field, the greater the risk (and the costs) because troop morale can be affected if they are deployed to do nothing.

Putin and the Ukrainian fellow had a private phone call, and they decided to delay the party until Biden kicks the bucket.
 
the missiles on ships are far longer range than on land, this rule is set by US to their advantage
with hupersonics, this lightweight are on planes and super fast and longer range for other air planes
so for China, they need subs that can carry 200 nukes as an effective deterrent in 10 years, so each year will have 20
this is a small number as compared to the Russian 6k+

They didn't "just send" 100+ thousand troops. It was either just an intimidation tactic from the start and the West blew it up as an "invasion attempt" or, there was a secret deal behind (or threat?).

I am very curious now, whether there are any US/UK/etc. ships in the Black Sea. Not sure.

See the 3-way competition in the region between Russia, the West, Turkey. Biden slapped Erdogan by recognizing the Armenian Genocide.
I think that was also a "sneaky tactic", not a recognition. They just wanted to kick Erdogan's ass.

To me it was odd how the West quickly withdrew its troops from Afghanistan. And Russia quickly withdrew their troops as well.

Then the US recognizes the Armenian Genocide.

Sounds like madness how all these things happened so fast, at the push of a button. These are all very big steps.

Why?

The pro-russian site ZH didn't report any allied ships in the black sea.

Not surprising, the soldiers are now basically bounty targets in Afghanistan. Anyway, the Taliban government is winning the war. The war is lost.

Don't know much about ships nowadays, can't see the sense of using them nowadays. Can be sunk easily and fast, can be detected even faster.
They are far from the major battleships (like the legendary Yamato or Bismarck, which were "sexier"), they're mere boxes of steel nowadays with a bunch of sailors, cruise missiles and just a few guns.

I guess they are good for "show of power"?

War ships are just floating target practice. You can launch an F35 from a fishing boat.
