Is this the way potential victors interact with each other. None of us on PDF know the real military situation but this is blame game and open verbal hostility (first by Chef to the military, and then Chechens to Wagner) is a better indicator of the state of things than any thing else. This is...

These set of moralities, what specific treaties are you referring to (I am saying it in ernst to learn): were these put in place post WWII ? Or later or earlier? Or more after the 70s? I am not sure that looked objectively what happened by bombing Hanoi would be considered much different than...

The approach in Afghanistan was not one of wokeness by the military but by deliberate design of the Neo-cons at the time to re-draw the influence map of the region (thank Paul Wolfwoitz, John Boulton and rest of the clowns for that) that included Afghanistan and Iraq. . That for some reason US...

Russia misinterpreting signals that somebody not siding with EU/NATO/US does not mean those countries are in Russia's camp. They are (and rightfully so) not on either side. https://www.reuters.com/world/brazils-lula-said-spoke-putin-war-declined-invitation-economic-forum-2023-05-26/

You are in Germany? 2.6% growth in GDP . Capitalism is about creative destruction. Some companies thrive others fail. 2.6 is not a definition of recession. Some companies will leave some new will come. Intel commited $19BN to invest in Germany...

All this proof business is hogwash. Only people on this forum even care about proof and potentially in twitter verse (where I discontinued my use) where all garbage from both sides is floating. Ultimately, straight targeting of cities does not break morale of any country , and attacking...

Strategic miscalculation: Europe reduced its supplies from Russia by 71%: huge dromp in consumption of gas supplied from Europe. https://digitaledition.ft.com/article/281517935491586 Fall in EU gas demand set to outweigh flows from Russia in blow for Kremlin ▸ Bloc beats targets for reducing...

Most are familiar with the colonial/expansionist role of European countries and somehow the people in those countries were stupid enough to fight in World Wars on behalf of the colonizers. Even Belgium, who was really late to the party, joined the party of occupation in mid-1800s under the...

He wanted to get out and yet he also wanted Ukraine to be weak by playing politics with its aid program. He said he wanted to get out but he waited right till the end of his term to do this and cause a disaster Why do you care? You don't live in any country nor would you ever be allowed. Why...

The countries that are supplying are already introducing F-35s and have surplus F-16s. Ukraine will likely be able to absorb 20-40 max. Thats well within the surplus of Falcons coming out of service for these Air Forces. I assume thats the reason US is not adding though in principle it...

For Ukrainians , I am not sure what more damage can be given everything that Russians can thrown in a conventional war is being thrown at them. Bakhmut pretty much leveled. What is it that the Ukrainian military should be worried about Russia unleashing at this point? Ukrainians are not...

I look at claims initial like this with a bit of skepticism since it may be for consumption but certain things are factual: 1. Wagner Chef (not Chief) keeps on making video recordings about pronouncements on whats going on and threats and battle cries. 2. Its clear its not an easy victory for...

I agree that no news is trustworthy on this as its one twitter feed vs. another. But circumstantially, the Russians launched another strike the day following and most got intercepted. Only one person died. So despite a similar sized salvo being launched and most got destroyed then it would...

At least the world is accepting him for whatever reason. Putin is only welcomed in 4 countries. May be instead of venting and calling names the thinking should be why is Putin not able to go anywhere, other than Iran of course. Bitterness results in name calling of course and a laughing emoji

Because carpet bombing with missiles is a very expensive proposition. Missiles likely have a target. Shooting them down means they didn't reach their precise target (whatever building or part of infrastructure it was intended to destroy). Patriots or other SAM systems don't vaporize the incoming...

Its a bit too late for that: other than may be giving tactical nuclear weapons, everything from high-end SAMs, armor, and now even long range air to surface missiles supplied. I don't think Russia is showing up to the party with any more retaliation

Grand chess board ? Seriously, one that only they started playing a 100 years ago? Positions of power: how many US presidents have been jewish? Its only globally acknowledged by people like you. Thats why none of the heads of the top 4 tech companies are jewish (they are Indian origin). What...

thats how a publicly traded company works: any organization with capital and wants to invest it can. Sometimes its US, sometimes its Gulf sovereign funds. And Germany GDP per capita has been growing up every year outside of the 2 years in pandemic, so your fellow Germans are doing just fine with...

This same worth less Russian airframes (mig or su doesn’t matter) that half the Iraqi Air Force (that was not destroyed) managed to fly to Iran and then be part of Iran’s Air Force so they would survive? And these are the only DajJan videos in all of YouTube i.e. there isn’t another lunatic...

Just by that you admit superiority of west. There is not a single Russian that would be allowed to express his view against the war and not go to jail. There was a specific law passed around that. THere is a big difference between in the west not agreeing with the view (for which Russia would...
