Contacts eh? Wouldn't you like to know.

Jokes aside I'm feeling very sad and worried for those poor Ukranians. Looks like they're on their own. That baztard Putin's gonna get away with this and he always knew he would.
Poor Alex the stabwood guy....he's based there.

On occasion, going back awhile, he's posted his opinions about 'things' leading up to the Russian invasion on his FB page. A few times he posted asking for more military assistance from the West. He left them up for a bit and then deleted those.

Well I hope he's ok!! I've been saying all along that an equal reaction from NATO regarding the troop build up along the borders would have just resulted in a stalemate and better outcome. This has set a very worrying precedent for more aggressive acts of war.....and not just by Russia either!! We'll see. Why can't Man get along....anyway I could go on but political stuff is a no no for me here....

Hope all is goung well J.

What exactly do you guys propose NATO and the US do?

NATO and the US are not looking to get 'into it' with Russia (as in WWIII). A war with Russia, in all likelihood, would escalate very quickly, and in a not so pleasing direction, as Western forces overran Russian forces.

Push Putin into a corner with Great Risk. Don't forget the world power who is supporting Putin. China. Funny, the last US president is currently blabbering on about how this wouldn't have happened under his watch (he is a supporter of Putin ;)).

Putin has been planning this for many years.

I'm not saying we should sit by idly and let Putin have his way in Ukraine. What I am saying is any response needs to be VERY well thought out by NATO and the US. Frankly I don't see NATO and the US doing much of anything once Putin grabs the land he's after and replaces the current Ukrainian government with puppets who support Russia.

Historically the Ukraine has been a pawn in many wars going back hundreds of years.

Economically things will get very rough for everyone in our World.

Folks need to remember that Russia exports an awful lot to the rest of the World in our global economy.

The west have done a crap job of defending the Ukrainian's IMO....:-x
Well...

I 100% agree. I hope they can hang on until the rest of the world wakes up.
Well...

    We could always just send in Chuck Norris. He could clear them out in a few hours.

    Morning shinies ;)

    Please do tell :thumbs: !!

    It was a while ago. I was flick drying the Dvarw deck in the sink and it went flying. I checked that the coil survived, it had so I rewicked it. Then I tried to attach the chamber and it wouldn't fit. I looked at it a bit closer and saw the massive huge dent in my deck :ohmy:

    Any other sub ohm tanks you guys can recommend for RTL/DL?
    Gotta be well known so there is a higher chance for me to get coils from vape shops in Spain,also would prefer a wide selection of coils so i can which suits me the best.

    Another good one from Vaporesso is anything that uses their GTX coils - there's a GTX 22 tank if you can find one locally:
    GTX TANK 22
    The 0.3ohm is my fave :thumbs:

    Well...
    Exactly.
    There's no way the US can go in with troops. There never was and Putin knew it for all the reasons you stated.
    Biden knew it too. He made it clear weeks back that it would be too dangerous and would escalate into something much worse.

    This is why as much as the Ukrainians will put up "a helluva fight" they're on their own and have no hope long term against Russia's military.

    Wondering if there is an anti shiny thread lol.

    2 headphones ordered from Amazon and both faulty,oh well they coming to pick it up tomorrow and I'm getting my money back.

    Placed an order for some e-liquid and Z coils,oh boy this is one weird order:

    ODD.JPG


    Yet another try to see if i can discover any new flavor i like...tired of spending money and vaping something i don't like.

    Got 30mls of Soft Mint from Creme Kong,dude from the store said it was similar to my usual Shiva from A&L aroma but ''different'',so i am giving that a try.

    Then i kinda came up with a weird mix,i did enjoy some Red Bull like aroma in my Shiva,also liked some Melon so i bought 2x10ml of Melon and 1x10ml of Red Bull,add some WS-23 cooling agent to the mix (gotta love the freshness) and i might like it...i gotta keep on trying,right?

    Asmodus wise i think @Daniel Forsyth is going to be proud.
    Did some translating of some flyers for a Solar Panel store located in town and they seem pretty happy,so I'm getting a nice bonus,after paying bills etc etc i might have enough for 2 Asmodus i got bookmarked.

    Problem is It's 3 different models so i gotta decide on only 2 lol.

    Asmodus Amighty 100w+Minikin v2 (Amighty in red,gotta love the rubber feel)

    or

    Asmodus Amighty 100w+Minikin v3

    or

    Minikin v2+Minikin v3

    or

    Minikin v3+Minikin v3 (One black and one in purple)

    Got no idea which one to get,not too keen on the battery door of the Minikin v3 kinda like the v2 more....

    Decisions...decisions

    It's a head scratchero_O
    In my Asmodus opinion a Mighty Almighty would suit you fantastically:thumb: A single 21700(with sleeve for 18650) and Mighty comfortable in the hand!!
    And the Minikin 2 was my very favourite mod for a long time and is the one I prefer out of all of my Asmodus mods! That's why I have so many of those:w00t:
    Verdict: The Asmodus Mighty Almighty Minikin 2;)
