Use of naval and air power has been pretty limited and use of naval power in Black Sea came later in the invasion. That’s what those pro-western articles don’t tell you. Again they have been fighting this war with their C grade forces.
As of today Russia has blocked off and controls much of...
Yes it's minimal for a country with 900k active duty soldiers. The invading force they used was 130k troops most of whom are conscripts, paramilitary (Chechens), and some regular military. Ukrainian military in total is 200k active duty soldiers. In the first wave of the invasion they used 1/3...
Exactly, Russia is using the minimal amount of force and resources it needs to take and complete its objectives. The rest of the force and resources are on standby in case NATO gets involved or the homeland comes under attack. On top of that Russia is fighting this war mainly with conscripts...
Highly doubt US is going to give a non-NATO country any cutting edge technology such as 5-6th Gen fighter jets in the years/decade ahead. Unless that tech becomes 2 gens behind maybe.
Also it’s hard to put a timeline on this projection as he didn’t specify. However, I think the timeline will be...
With world conflicts intensifying and accelerating amongst re-alignments it could happen sooner than people think. China has two objectives secure Taiwan and border/land with India. China giving Pakistan J20 makes objective #2 for them easier and safer. Not to mention offering J-20 to Pakistan...
Ok tell me about these "international accreditations" you speak of. Being global vs having "international accreditations" are two different things. Anything on the internet/world wide web is technically global. 😅 Even my tweets are global.
As I said its not just skin color, if you don't look like a typical Bengali/Indian you wouldn't be treated or viewed as such by the average white person. I have people in my immediate family who are viewed as Italian by average and well traveled white people--because it's not just about skin...
The best solution for Ukraine is to be neutral/non-aligned but Zelenskyy had pushed to align with western Europe/America/NATO. He got played bad. Ukraine != NATO, no obligation to defend them.
In 1994 Ukraine was verbally told by America/NATO if they gave up their nukes, their sovereignty of...

Russia set to capture Mariupol, this will connect Crimea to Donbas region which also has a coastline w/the Black sea. Kharkiv also under siege and only matter of time the city is taken by Russia...
That's the thing you wouldn't know if you're a dark skinned south Asian. My experience as a Kashmiri/Pakistani has been different and people's first though isn't Indian. I do agree if you look close enough you will prob get lumped into the broader category of Indian or South Asian by...
They can do that, and could be doing that. As for what I am aware of is individual European/North American countries using private contractors. Rather than a joint-NATO weapons distribution program. I do suspect they probably are using uninformed soldiers.
I disagree with this 'averaging' out point. On average Pakistani ethnic groups are phenotypically different from most Indian ethnic groups. Pakistani Kashmiris, Pathans, Balochis, and like 40% of Punjabis (IMO) are on average different looking to Indians of different regions. It's not just skin...
Many societies and people judge by genetics and looks even if they deny it. It is human nature. Vast majority of CEOs of large companies around the world are 6' or more, that is no coincidence.
These aren't 'evacuation' flights. They didn't evacuate them from Ukraine where the war is actually happening, but from Poland, Hungary and surrounding areas after those students 'evacuated' themselves from Ukraine and were already safe. What a clownish narrative Indian media is trying to play...
Article VI provides stipulations for Article V, and according to Article VI the answer is yes. With that said NATO is sending in weapons to Ukraine using private contractors, not uniformed soldiers, and they aren't crossing over the border into Ukraine rather driving up to the west of the...
They have over $640bn in foreign currency reserves, gold, and other things. Also Europe is still paying Russia $1bn (rough estimate) a day for oil. I think they'll be fine for some time. Passing sanctions on a country cuts both ways.
