I usually refrain from commenting on real-time battlefield situations in the Ukraine war, but check this out:

Apparently, that wartime chef (Chef Zhenya) has never heard of something called Meal, Ready-to-Eat (MRE). MREs, despite being well known to have sh1tty tastes, can actually last for years instead of just one week.

Does he really believe that he could cook mom's dishes and have them served to the troops at the frontline when the opposing forces are actively shooting at them?

Besides, I don't think frontline troops would truly care about whether their meal are tasty or not, when all they are concerned about is to finish their meal, get re-energized before going back into the fight.

Here's more:

Is he suggesting the troops to carry a microwave and a generator machine to the frontline to reheat the food? What the hell?

The culinarily right thing to do is to bring an air fryer to the frontlines. Then they can enjoy fries and chicken wings while lobbing grenades

Archives showed that Prime Minister's Office Readout (between Trudeau and Xi's earlier informal 10 min talk) issued on the 15th was deleted or didn't exist already by the 17th. People on twitter couldn't find the official readout on the 16th which means Trudeau had it deleted soon after running to the washroom.

Looks like 很天真 understood what 创造条件 meant. I just didn't understand why Trudeau couldn't have gotten the video recording censored considering it was Global News (Liberal Mouthpiece) reporter that recorded it, which would have saved all the humiliation. I think the drama teacher decided to embrace his humiliation in order to paint Xi as a bully instead.

This is what doesn't make sense to me
Global News only reported that those candidates were part of the alleged network. There is no evidence that Chinese officials ever directly funded their candidacies.

"no evidence" and "only reported"
That sounds like some people made it up and they just reported it without any basis in fact.

Ukraine probably doesn't have the ability at the present time to produce any MRE.

From the looks of it, he is making boil in a bag meals, so they can pop it into a pot of boiling water heated by a camp stove (typical way to reheat MREs, besides those heating bags)

Honestly, if he is making this work, I'm sure the soldiers appreciate it.

Qatar signs world's 'longest' gas supply deal with China​

QatarEnergy announced a 27-year natural gas supply deal with China on Monday (Nov 21), calling it the “longest” ever seen as it strengthened ties with Asia while Europe scrambles for alternative sources.

The deal “marks the longest gas supply agreement in the history of the LNG industry”, said Saad Sherida al-Kaabi, Qatar’s energy minister and QatarEnergy’s chief executive.

Asian countries led by China, Japan and South Korea are the main market for Qatar’s gas, which is increasingly being sought by European countries since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Negotiations with European countries have struggled as Germany and others baulked at signing the type of long-term deals made with Asian nations.

Qatar is the main alternative to Russian gas. Oh butthurt European boys.

Well, if you were to believe our NATO friends in the other thread, the Ukranians aren't hungry or cold unlike the Russians who run around naked and begging for food or something

I mean, us troops (and pla) use flameless ration heaters.
ukraine gets us equipment, so warming up stuff without a fire is not hard

But they are rations meant to be heated that way with the appropiate packaging. I doubt the twitter dude has access to chemical warmers, the packaging that can sustain the chemical reaction and so on, though.

Also, the size of the thing seems to be too big to be warmed apropiately by a single chemical heater.
