The global supply of urea was already being impacted by ongoing supply chain issues, but this worsened after the invasion of Ukraine on February 24.



Russia's government has also weighed suspending fertilizer and urea(used for DEF fluid required in diesel vehicles) exports, while China, another major exporter of urea, has placed restrictions on exports.


Believe it or not, DEF production and use creates shitloads of CO2.

I don't know anything about DEF. But, this link says it lowers C02.

Its the production process. Its made from Natural Gas

DEF's main function is to break down oxides of nitrogen. I saw in the article you linked to that they make the claim that it lowers CO2 but I've never read that in the technology papers so I cant comment on that.



Ironically, the entire diesel catalyst system produces tons more CO2 over the life of the truck. I'm not necessarily against that. Its just a fact that combustion reactions all get turned into something and there's no way all emissions can become water, nitrogen, and CO2 without adding energy to the process. It used to be, any engine converted fuel into moving energy and whatever spewed out of the tailpipe, who cares. Turbocharging was added to make more power but consequently aided in a more complete combustion process. Electronic fuel injection was added in the 90's which cleaned it up greatly. It was decided to remove the particulates about 10 years later and Diesel Oxide Catalysts (DOC's) and Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF's) were added to the exhaust system. In order to make this system work, a diesel fuel injector had to be added after the turbo to add heat into the exhaust stream to aid in the combustion process. This costs 1MPG. Now that doesnt sound like much to a car driver but a big rig got about 8MPG and it cost them 1MPG which is pretty big. This process eliminated about 95% of diesel particulate emissions in comparison to 1989. The trade off was a large increase in CO2 production. Finally, they instituted the SCR which uses Urea derived from Natural Gas. All these chemical reactions come at a cost of producing something that someone has demonized.

The Biden administration on July 8 announced it is sending another $400 million in aid to Ukraine to "meet critical needs for Ukraine's fight" in the ongoing Ukraine–Russia war.



The money comes from a Presidential Drawdown (PDA) of equipment from the Pentagon's inventories—the 15th such authorization for Ukraine since August 2021 under the Biden administration.



The security assistance package includes four additional High Mobility Rocket Systems (HIMARS) and additional ammunition for the systems. The systems have a range of about 40 miles and allow Ukraine forces the power to strike faraway targets with more accuracy.



The senior defense official told reporters the additional HIMARS would bring the total number of these systems to 12.

NATO has become the new corona vaccine.



Any kind of critique towards Nato leads to a lot of hate.





It used to be cool to hate Nato... People used to think of it as a warmongering organization.





Greta Thunberg shared an anti-Nato photo and she is getting hate for it.

You nailed it.

DEF is about reducing real pollutants not C02.


Yep. Its about reducing oxides of nitrogen.



The problems are:

1. libtards declared CO2 a pollutant.

2. libtards say they hate carbon energy (yet waste it and create more CO2 producing DEF)

Same with wind and solar. Mining for rare earth metals produces more C02.

Is he blocking Sweden and Finland's NATO bids?
