What are cassette bearings?
It is a bearing that allows the axle connected to the wheel to rotate within the truck for a rail car. When they wear out, they start throwing sparks and dragging on the wheels, and eventually can cause a derailment if they fail completely. A not insignificant number of brush fires get caused every year by bearings going bad on rail cars.

They've been warning about this for a bit. The Ukes cleared some of their own minefields in a couple of areas earlier just before/after the mobilization. I hope they can do this and cut off Crmiea. The panic would be real and further strikes on Kerch? *chef's kiss*

I would agree, but I am not sure on their quality.

Bearings are one of those things that quality pays for itself.

I understand that China has made significant strides within the bearing market and can replace Japan for most applications, but I guess the Russians will find out how good they are.

Pro-Russian/Iranian Euro camp really trying to throw shade at Israel for the possibility of siding with Ukraine.

It is worse than you think Iran is working to induce russia to nuke us believing they have a win win if this occurs. This said we should stop playing patty cakes with them and hit them hard and stop the supply. Those bigger missiles carry over 1000lb warhead and if the russians send a couple into heavy civilian population it will be another serious escalation.

As for Israel it won't be the first time they have been instrumental in supplying weapons against russia they helped the cia deliver stingers to Afghanistan way back.

Yep. You're seeing North Korea and Iran coalesce around Russia because they see it as a chance to instigate chaos and then possibly fill any resultant vacuum in their region. There's your axis if Putin decides to send things off the rails.

at 18:50, he states that Russian to Ukrainian losses are 6.5 to 1.

Has anyone found a source for this?

chinese bearings don't hold up well in farm equipment, particularly disks
NO AMNESTY!

in order for democrats, liberals, progressives et al to continue their illogical belief systems they have to pretend not to know a lot of things; by pretending "not to know" there is no guilt, no actual connection to conscience. Denial of truth allows easier trespass.

Strangely enough, this is one of the more understandable mobilization videos. Still insane though.

Musk analogy may be close to being correct, but this would be like if Japan managed to invade Hawaii and take Pearl Harbor and we wanted it back a few years later. It doesn't matter how much they want it for their global strategy, it's ours.

Really stupid assertion there by Musk. The Russians had a lease on Sebastopol in Ukraine just like the US does on Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. No one challenged that. Putin wanted the entire Crimean peninsula in order to control the coast and limit Ukraine's access to the Black Sea. There was no legitimate military reason why Russia needed to seize Crimea. NONE.

There was if he's been planning to invade Ukraine for over a decade. All the signs exist that he's fully intended and been preparing to do this for a very long time.

So many people just gloss over it and ignore the plain evidence that's staring everyone in the face because "there has to be a legitimate reason". There is a reason but not one that "rational" people have an easy time accepting. He wanted complete control of the land, resources, and people and doesn't care how many people die for him to get it. He's a sociopath.

So a bag of vegetables to have your son go off to war and he killed …. Wouldn't it be worth more to just have your son till a garden and you can have thousands of bags of groceries each month ? I guess my Puttie math doesn't add up .. or maybe just get confused easy

So musk may be a genius at science stuff but failed history. I guess we should not ask him if russia should take back alaska or we should take over cuba.

Musk should run these through a PR person or fire the one he has.

Maybe because 75% of Ukraines economy involved Crimea before 2014 when Russia annexed it. Russia is a dying country and they did a land grab to get more resources. Countries have been doing this for thousands of years

Those clowns literally have no idea what they are to get into. Probably haven't seen one second of realistic coverage of the war. Nothing even close to being indicative of what's really taking place or they'd be sheeting themselves with that plastic armor.
