    Lets put it this way. I think he will not invade. You think he may invade. Maybe you are right. Now lets see what happens. ;) So far he is busy in Ukraine.

    Of course I know that. I was describing situation before the war. Norway joined nato. Spy business would be expected by russia. Especially infrastructure.

    Hmmm? Good question. Let me try. Why Turkey has not joined EU, they applied as early as 1997? Turkey is interested to join, prima facie, just by that fact. Suffice to say, somebody does not want them in. In Russian case they were not interested. They never applied to join. If they never...

    Invading western Europe? For what? This is the key question, please memorize it till I get down to point.

    You dont learn from recent history, dont you? ;) You are still imagining top gun dog fights? "Goose, I am switching to guns now!" Sharp manouver and getting that mig at electronic crosshairs. New war is fought differently Ukraine had nothing to match Russian strategic bombers' - yet they hit...

    I find this interview very interesting. But unlike many similar political interviews and "experts" - this guy has a sense of humor. Never heard of him before. Had to search on google and AI, to see his background. It will take 1 and a half hour of your time.

    Russian "blitzkrieg" failed at first attempt with 150.000 troops on much smaller country, then they switched to war of attrition and mobilization of 30.000 per month or more. Now deploying 450-600.000 as per AI. Who knows what lays ahead?

    When did you first truly awake to “The Horn of the Hunter”?

    For me: most likely when I was pre school age. I had toys of plastic animals, while all other kids where playing with toy cars. I watched all african safari movies, and animal documentaries on TV. I dreamed of hunts. I was begging my granpa (A hunter) to show me his guns on weekly basis when...

    There rests the risk and danger of situation in the long run, and in case of prolonged war. This morning I've been reading US forces withdraw from bases to hotels. Bases are under fire, by drones, and missiles, unsafe. A video came out of one chopper being destroyed by FPV drone on tarmac. (A...

    What is the Standard payment structure for booking a hunt?

    I share your concerns in full, because I have experienced the same! I have experience of only one hunt in Zimbabwe. Ele. I had to pay 50% in advance, 50% before getting there. So, 100% paid before actual hunt. My expereince before that: Caprivi hunt on buffalo: 2/3 paid for booking to...

    It seams, Ukraine no 2 unfolding. Major global power entangled in asymmetric war. I wonder when and how this will end.

    question on the physics of obturation

    Make the casing, pour the lead. Choose proper hard lead alloy for each section. A frame, make bonding in front. (probably all patented) Why? Simplification and economization of production process. I was reading John Noslers "Going Ballistic", his autobiography book. When he started he was...

    A Journey to Africa

    I write my diary, every African trip. (2017, 2018, 2022, 2024, 2025) For my first African trip, I printed it in hardcover. Main reason, for the day when I am gone, my kids to have idea of what I was doing there, and to understand the story behind trophies on the wall.
