Well, howdy there internet people? Let's bow again. So today we are going to talk about cold

weather gear, Finland, Sweden, Ukraine, and Russia and how something as simple as the right cold

weather equipment might make a huge difference.

Okay, so at this point we know that the

militaries of both Ukraine and Russia are having a hard time obtaining cold weather

gear for their troops. These are jackets, gloves, neck warmers, hats, sleeping bags, tents, tents, stoves, stuff like this.

When it comes to how important cold weather gear is, it really can't be overstated. If your troops are fighting to stay warm, they have absolutely no interest in fighting the opposition. Now we can kind of infer the state of Russian cold weather gear from everything else that's come out of their stores.

They probably don't have it.

They probably do not have adequate cold weather gear

for their troops.

And at the moment, it doesn't look like Ukraine has it either.

If neither side is able to get cold weather gear,

there's probably not gonna be a lot going on over the winter.

The lines will be pretty static, which is not good news for Ukraine. Static lines favor Russia right now.

So the question is, who can get Ukraine the cold weather gear, Finland and Sweden,

both of which have announced new packages. This will be Finland's 10th, and it's

worth roughly 55, 60 million dollars. Keep in mind I did the currency conversions like

check those. The military there, they're pretty quiet about what they've sent and what they're going

to send.

They don't broadcast it the way a lot of countries do.

You know, the U.S. we like provide an itemized list.

I don't necessarily think that's the best idea but I don't know.
