How do you think of MBZ's first few months in a president's chair? I guess nothing really changed as the Federal Govt already been more or less ran by professional civil servants, and AD itself was already de-facto ran by him. I also noticed Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan got way more prominent in...

I repeat Russia is losing billions, and billions of dollars in military hardware, ammo, supplies, and troops every month of this war. It's their military which they spent 1 trillion dollars to rearm, and rebuild since 2000. Why Russia is not limiting its losses? Because Putin has no second...

It was Kiyv which cost Russia thousands of vehicles. The combat slowed down significantly after. Russians no longer lose vehicles due to logistic exhaustion because they don't move much, nor they happily drive into killboxes, and ATGM lines anymore. American hesitancy to provide more Himars...

A big problem for Ukrainians is exactly so many small towns in the east which Russian forces can hop in between, while evading detection, and artillery fire.

Ukraine completed partial withdrawal from Liysychansk, but remaining SOF, and irregulars still fight in around the city, and keep Lysychansk firebases working, and artillerymen/mortarmen there protected. I think, nearly all regulars are out, remaining ones are arty, SOF, and volunteer...

It was actually harder to brute force the Iraqi army during the first gulf war, than the second. Saddam had an army of 600,000 at his disposal during Kuwait invasion, and had technology level seriously favouring him. Just like with Putin, Saddam was a hand fed beasie of French, and other...

Ukraine commences general fallback from Lysychansk

I have lost much contact with Islamabad's Chinese crowd. Too many just went home after the initial excitement of OBOR infra project waned. So I believe is the interest from higher ups.

I think it's 10th such initiative by G* so far, and none ever materialised. Cash, cash, cash, cash is the king.

Do we have any Iraqi on this forum?

So... with current sky high oil prices, why do OPEC countries still keep the tap tight, while they see Qatar benefiting enormously from leaving the OPEC? Now not only Qatar's risky LNG expansion, which some called a failure just a year ago, scoring gold, now their oil exports are back to...

Can you read Russian? Did you study in Russia?

That's Chartered Semi former fab, and new ones being an extension of their operation. It took firing Sing bureaucrats running the fab for it to start thriving. I also have no idea how the managed to associate robotisation with labour intensity. There are simply no 300mm fabs in the world...

We will run into trouble. You see there is a very visible historical tendency: too many elites + any major shock = revolution. Qinghua/BeiDa grads almost never go to work in the government, let alone the CPC, despite a lot of them being children of CPC members. CPC sends its kids to America...

Middle class is the enemy of high class My 2 best engineers didn't even have a uni degree, but just 2 year technical college in Henan. One was a legend, preferring to work on paper when everybody was using CADs, he can make such stuff from plastic, and fibreglass with just guesswork which...

Why worry? You will just put another Hun Sen into power for for no cost.

Rather the opposite, Russia fear not so much Ukrainians, but Russian Ukrainians turning anti-Russian. They annihilated the most pro-Russian city in the whole of Ukraine, and their proxy states of DPR/LPR been turned into hellholes worse than Russia itself. Russiophiles, or russophobes doesn't...

They will go to South.

Indeed, but you can't complain that CPC can't subvert the West properly. Megatons of state money is still spent every years of this kind of lousy spycraft. Not only can't they steal the technology properly, but they don't even know which one to steal. I wouldn't wonder if the next benefit from...
