Robert Clark has been dramatic in his opinion pieces.
I know if all chinese news has to go through government approval you are not used to the different voices/opinions, and changing tunes in western media.
In general though our media is overly dramatic and reactionary to short term.
Very...
Which you refuse to do and i adressed.
Head in the sand while throwing allies under the bus.

It took russians 8 months to conquer bakhmut.
We have been hearing about “pockets trapped” and “front collapsing” for one and a halg years now. Yet russia never was able to quickly advance or close gaps.
They will be unable to do so now. They better watch Tokmak…though they are free to have...
No merkel was incompetent and naive.
But allies can make mistakes. And europe is now reaching the 2% budget as requested.
Fact remains USA influence in europe and russia has been heavy.
Fact remains USA vowed to be an ally and proclaimed itself as “arsenal of democracy”
You seem to have...
Its a fire and forget system that caused masses of hits on russian armor. (Google it yourself). Especially in the early phases of the russian push to Kiev.
If it did not “hit anything” we would not have ukraine asking for more and heroing the weapon.
maybe not the best value for money perse...
hmmm lets see…javelins…trashed scores of russian tanks….himars…fucked up russian rear and even now they cannot take these systems out….excalibur…countbat…performing well. We see russia now losing the counter artillery fight…a far cry from their 10:1 advantage orevious year.
Air defence, better...
USA giving room for united states of europe with its own defense industry?
Then communicating an orderly pullback while open to russian european integration (though warning of putin threat)??
Yes please. Yesterday please!!
What happened however is an America that deliberately pitted europe...

Interesting analysis.
It will not be a gamechanger. But further strengthen ukraine and enhance its options/defence.
All with planes, associated weapon platforms and parts that will be readily available years to...
Are you kidding me?
1: America actively opposed too much european-russian integration. As such it partly made sure the “threat” remained.
2: America wants europe to buy their weapons at a premium…but otherwise remain completely dependant and subservient. Including granting America massive...

Europe has given more in total then the USA.
With a 20% smaller economy.
While having budgetted away much of their military stocks…as opposed to USA where its just sitting in the sierra desert.
As such it is sending...
Question @jhungary and @F-22Raptor
USA knew ukraine would have to fight through mines and trenches. Without air support.
Why was this weapon, and the atacms not given to aid the ukrainians pro-actively?
Why is America being so chicken-shit about “worries on escalation” while russia is...
This is aimed at two sides:
North korea: stating USA is closely monitoring it and support would have repercussions.
USA can still tighten sanctions, or increase support south korea-military.
Do you even know America gave more then a billion food aid to North Korea between 1995 and 2008? As...
But with russian anti-air that will be difficult.
It will however boost their air to air, and allow them more and easier air to ground missile attacks started outside AA range.
Including a steady stream of supplies (which for the old soviet Migs was difficult as almost no Nato country still...
Western news adjust its analysis and estimations based on facts on the ground.
Thats why we see pro-russia being constantly wrong every fucking week, 80 times in a row now. (“Ukraine stands no chance”)
And why we actually have western press admitting russians ran a more capable defense then...
Ah your talk of “imminent ukranian collapse” again.
Usually you start posting more slightly before the russians are forced to retreat or their offensives culminate.
Lets see if that trend also applies to the current situation.
