    According to MIL, people our age or older are not buying any of the BS. People under 30 though are buying it hook, line and sinker. The middle generation is mixed although the sanctions will definitely hit them hardest especially in the large cities. The rural areas though are firmly behind Putin.

    According to social media—which everyone here has access to by the way so there's no need to guess—this is pretty much what's going on, although it seems that not all young people are buying it.

    ...then again my definition of "young people" might need some recalibration. I'm old now.

    Please love yourself.

      Too lazy to look up the details, but it was maybe 10-12 years ago Orbital had a rocket blow up on the pad at Wallops Island.

      It was a Russian rocket, supplied to Orbital, that blew up. I talked to the guy who was buying those Russian rockets (former Shuttle and Station commander). At the time those were the only option. Although they continued to use Russian rockets for a while, that explosion gave incentive to make more American rockets available.

        In the twitter thread, someone commented that the US has at least 10 US manufacturers of rocket motors from which to choose. I have no knowledge if that's true.

        MAGRA!

        That would be MARGA. Posting for a friend.

          All right, all right. Very funny.

          Just wait until you fuck up some inconsequential detail. Then I'll have you!

          I was only joking

                              ...then again my definition of "young people" might need some recalibration. I'm old now.

                              STFU.

                              Comments like that are completely expected and the main reason why I say such things here!

                              You do realize that in 48 hours I will be closer to 100 than I am from my birth?

                              Hey I'm busy planning out my Planning on. Down midlife crisis, I can't also take on yours!

                              Pffft… Planning on dying at 70-80?

                                  No problem we'll just switch to electric produced by nuclear.

                                  We should be able to get that done by the end of the week.

                                    Be certain, that the Empire will strike back seeing all of these efforts as "starving" Russia. Putin will likely respond in kind - likely cyber, attacking financial and electric infrastructure. He will never want to appear "weak".

                                      Russia's second-largest internet provider cuts off Russian websites

                                      For better or worse, Russia's internet just got kneecapped.

                                      Cogent Communications is cutting off internet service to its Russian clients, the Washington Post reported on Friday. This puts it in league with companies like Meta, which has blocked Russian state-affiliated news agencies on Facebook in Europe; Twitter, which slaps a warning label on tweets from state-run Russian media outlets; and others.

                                      Cogent is an internet infrastructure provider that serves international clients, including many companies in Russia. In fact, it is the country's second largest internet service provider, according to Reuters.

                                      In addition to the traditional war it has waged on the ground since invading Ukraine, Russia has staged cyberwar offensives against the neighboring nation's military and banking websites. It is also using its state-affiliated media outlets and bot propaganda networks to put out a version of the country's invasion of Ukraine that is favorable to Russia.

                                      Cogent told Reuters that it made the decision to cut off access in order to counter "outbound cyber attacks or disinformation" staged by Russian interests aligned with President Vladimir Putin. However, the company also noted that it was "a tough decision," since keeping Russians connected to the internet is crucial for them to get non-state sanctioned information.

                                      Other companies that have stopped doing business with Russia include tech giants like Microsoft, Apple, Google, and others, as well as Visa, Boeing, and even Harley Davidson.
