I have started many cars that have sat multiple years. It depends how they were stored. Outside with no maintanence? Yeah good luck with that. Inside with regural turn overs and other maintanence? No problems.

This is anecdotal, hearsay and probably not true, but a digger driver once told me that the reason theres so many chinese diggers and other heavy equipment over here these days is that if you are a chinese company and want to buy 1 western machine, you need to buy 10 locally manufactured ones and keep them for x amount of years.

So according to this dude the chinese companies would buy like a 100 local diggers and 10 western ones, park the locally produced ones in a storage until the x amount of years have passed and then sell them to the west.

Again, this was according to just some dude who digs holes in the ground. No idea if its actually true, if anyone knows I'd be interested to hear whats the reality.

Well maybe a bit. But it also does other things. Like sanction russia.

I dont care if the US gets richer if the reason is russia getting poorer. But you care. So, why do you imply its bad that US economy might grow a bit?

Seeing south korean self propelled artillery in Ukraine would warm my cold, mosquito infested Finnish heart.

Oh I see. So the US master plan was to make putin attack Ukraine, give Ukraine loans, ????, putin pulls out of Ukraine, Ukraine now in debt to the US, ????, profit?

putin must be a complete moron to go along with this. Unless you are saying that hes also psrt of the evil capitalist world order?

Now I'm imagining him at some garage, a mechanic asks him to bring a screwdriver and he goes out and brings a screwed driver from his golf bag.

I know. But the mental image of him trying to use one is hilarious.

Or maybe he accidentally bought a cheap and fake Milwaukee electric drill for his home improvement project.

You can get one for free if you want. Theres still wild horse populations.

But if you want, you can spend hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions on a horse. You could also probably get one for a few hundred but that one is already on its way to a glue factory.

I'm not sure what your point is? You had a bad experience with some completely different person and based on that it makes sense to you what this particular person did?

Well, who owns the ship is the important bit. Where the ship is registered is irrelevant because its done for tax etc purposes. The crews are often subcontractor kind of deals. The ports that the ship left/was going to dont matter either, the ship is just a glorified floating lorry, you wouldnt consider a arson attack against a polish lorry to be a attack against germany just because the lorry was going to frankfurt.

If you ask me personally this was an attack against the west, not any individual countries.
