I'm very aware of where are USA abm shields, here in Spain we have the naval base (Rota, Cadiz province) that host 6 USA warships of a USA ABM shield.

Russian nuclear tests since war started is a way to to do nuclear threats to the West. And they repeated threats several times after, talking about "nobody wants a nuclear war". Of course they use a diplomatic language and they dont say "we will kill you all if you keep making troubles, sanctions and supporting Kyiv", but that exactly is what they really mean.

I remember USA respect about USSR in cold war age, due to the danger of USSR nukes. That respect is lost, because American ABM technology have increased hugely in the last decade.

But that capability have some limits, and if Russia launch a full nuclear strike against NATO, nobody in USA would accept waste interceptors to defend European instead themselves.

Are you willing to gamble Spain, yourself and your family for that belief? It's a huge risk and what if you are wrong?:

"because American ABM technology have increased hugely in the last decade."

ISLAMABAD: The Foreign Office on Thursday questioned the accuracy of reports claiming that Pakistan was providing ammunition to Ukraine in its war with Russia.
“The reporting about supply of defence items by Pakistan to Ukraine is not accurate,” Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said at the weekly media briefing.
Reports claiming that Pakistan was providing ammunition to Ukraine have regularly surfaced in media since middle of the last year, but it is rare for Islamabad to have officially denied such involvement in the Russia–Ukraine conflict.
France 24 had a couple of days back reported that “run-down ammunition supplies are one of Kyiv’s most pressing concerns, with Ukraine and its partners resorting to far-flung countries like South Korea and Pakistan as sources of artillery munitions”.
Pakistan, the spokesperson said, maintains a policy of non-interference in military conflicts.
Many of those reports had alleged that the ammunition was sent to Ukraine via some other European country.
“Pakistan only exports defence stores to other states based on strong end-use and none re-transfer assurances. And this is the case of Pakistan’s position in the Ukraine-Russia conflict,” she maintained.
Many of the reports about Pakistani ammunition supplies have sought to target the improved ties between Islamabad and Moscow.
Raids on BBC offices
The FO spokesperson condemned the raids on BBC offices in New Delhi and Mumbai by Indian tax officials, saying these acts have tarnished India’s so-called democratic credentials.
“We believe that the raids conducted on the BBC offices in India are yet another manifestation of the shrinking space for freedom of media in India,” Ms Baloch said.
The raids were conducted weeks after India banned a BBC documentary that criticised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s role in Gujarat riots of 2002 in which Muslims were targeted.
“Having failed to hide the truth, the Indian government is now targeting an international media house. This, we believe, is another stain on India’s so-called democratic credentials,” she maintained.

Watch: Zelensky says peace deal would 'leave Ukraine weaker as a state'
By John Simpson and James Waterhouse
BBC News, Kyiv

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has ruled out giving up any of his country's territory in a potential peace deal with Russia.
In a BBC interview to mark a year since Russia's full-scale invasion, he warned conceding land would mean Russia could "keep coming back", while Western weapons would bring peace closer.
Mr Zelensky also said a predicted spring offensive had already begun.
"Russian attacks are already happening from several directions," he said.
He does, however, believe Ukraine's forces can keep resisting Russia's advance until they are able to launch a counter-offensive - although he repeated his calls for more military aid from the West.
"Of course, modern weapons speed up peace. Weapons are the only language Russia understands," Mr Zelensky told the BBC.

He met UK and EU leaders last week in a bid to bolster international support and to ask for modern arms to defend his country. When Ukraine's president asked for modern fighter jets, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said "nothing is off the table".
But Kyiv has become increasingly frustrated with the speed with which Western weapons have arrived. Deliveries of battle tanks - promised last month by a swathe of Western countries, including Germany, the US and the UK - are still thought to be weeks away from arriving on the battlefield.
President Zelensky also addressed a threat by Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko to wage war alongside Russian troops from his territory if a single Ukrainian soldier crossed the border.
"I hope [Belarus] won't join [the war]," he said. "If it does, we will fight and we will survive." Allowing Russia to use Belarus as a staging post for an attack again would be a "huge mistake", he added.

Watch: Zelensky warns Belarus against helping Russian offensive
Russian forces launched part of their full-scale invasion from Belarus 12 months ago. They drove south towards Ukraine's capital Kyiv but were fought back and made to retreat within weeks, after suffering heavy casualties.
When asked if he was surprised by Russia's tactics in the war, Mr Zelensky described them as "valueless".

"The way they destroyed everything. If their soldiers received [and carried out] those orders, that means they share those same values."
Ukrainian data released this week suggested Russian troops in Ukraine were dying in greater numbers this month than at any time since the first week of their invasion. The figures cannot be verified, but the UK's Ministry of Defence said the trends were "likely accurate".
"Today, our survival is our unity," said Mr Zelensky on how he thought the war will end. "I believe Ukraine is fighting for its survival." His country was moving towards Europe economically, as well as through its values, he said.
"We chose this path. We want security guarantees. Any territorial compromises would make us weaker as a state."
"It's not about compromise itself," he said. "Why would we be afraid of that? We have millions of compromises in life every day.
"The question is with whom? With Putin? No. Because there's no trust. Dialogue with him? No. Because there's no trust."

there were report saying Russian military specifically target Wagner solider position in a bid to blunt their advance, or "to even the field"

There are also report mentioning the riff between Russia MOD and Commanding General with Wagner and Chechen.....

Russia’s artillery flattering the Wagners would be madness I don’t think the Russians are that mad. Killing own people.
Certainly there is riff between the army and the Wagner. Think in the minds of Gerasimov, really embarrassing. a hooligan army that scores more victories recently than the 1,5 million regular army.

This is such bad logic that it boggles the mind. Do you have no idea what how geopolitics works? The US would 100% use its missile defense shield against Russian nuclear attacks in Europe.

This is not a debate, I will not debate you on reality.

You can use any insult you want, but reality is undebatable.

You're right, it's not a debate, it's a dogma of faith for you.

You're the kind of people who swallow complete all authorities fallacies, no question, no use of brain.

You must think that 911 attacks was done by Bin Laden in a Afghanistan cave too.

Unfortunately for us, your beliefs are a false delusion.

There is not enough raw materials and energy for everybody, a Europe destruction is a good thing for USA, and all Ukraine crisis is USA designed.

BTW the official excuse to deploy USA abm shield in Europe was defend Europe of Iranian missiles , they never talked about Russia in the beginning of deployment. And I'm pretty sure that in his day you believed that nonsense lie too .

Are you willing to gamble Spain, yourself and your family for that belief? It's a huge risk and what if you are wrong?:

I didnt said that I trust in the shield to defend Spain.

I would never live near to that naval base.

BTW Rota (the name of the town where is) in Spanish means "broken" (in the sense of break in pieces).

I think it's a very well name to host American aegis warships, the town name is a spoiler of his future if they keep sucking American dicks so well.

I trust in USA abm shields to defend USA, and my opinion is not based in technical information, it's based in the fact that USA elite is smart and they never would do what they are doing to Russia if their ballistics shields hadn't a error rate of 0.00%

Manual firing of 23 mm guns at snipers in Ukraine. In the video, one of the barrels of the 23-mm twin anti-aircraft gun was adapted for manual firing, note that another person insures the arrow from behind. Gun fire is said to be suppressing the point with Ukrainian snipers.

A powerful blow from a kamikaze sea drone hit a bridge in Zatoka in the Odessa region on February 10. The degree of damage to the bridge and which model of the marine drone was used are not yet known. It is speculated that the Russian drone used in the strike is based on a model of a Ukrainian maritime drone that washed ashore in the bay of Sevastopol last year. Earlier, the governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhaev, proposed to create unmanned marine vehicles on the basis of the Sevmorzavod enterprise, perhaps this was the first of the created marine drones.

The crew of the Russian T-80BVM tank spoke about their combat vehicle and the tactics of using it in Ukraine. The crew uses the T-80BVM tank, released in 2022.

122-mm self-propelled howitzer 2S1 "Gvozdika" of the Ukrainian army, came under attack from the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet". The drone attack took place near the Krasnolimansky direction, judging by the fire from the hatch, the 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled guns were destroyed.

Donetsk servicemen have developed a home-made installation for remote control of the Fagot ATGM. The installation has a Picatinny rail and a television screen and can be equipped with a thermal imager. The installation with the Fagot anti-tank system was tested at the range at a distance of 700 meters, the target was located at a height of 1 meter.

Well Ukraine has held to its territory in bakhmut and vuheledar and now Ukrainians are counter attacking in soledar resulting in massive casualties for invading russian establishment and invading russian armed forces

 

[ZeGerman]

When Soledar fell pro russians were again claiming the “lines are smashed”, “ukranian army on collapse”, “pockets forming”.

Well it has been a month and speed of advance has not increased. Bakhmut has not fallen…let alone the heavier fortified kramatorsk/sloviansk line.

But i am sure after the next village falls..THEN the whole Ukranian army will just collapse in thin air….

This isn't Call of Duty video game, we are talking about real war, real equipment, try hauling 50KG and run 100 meters and you will see how impossible it was, of course you can do it in the game tho.

Well, if you are Arnold Schwarzenegger, everything can be man-portable

Xi Jinping said that when he was young, he carried 100kg of wheat and walked for 5km on a mountainous road without changing shoulders. Running 100 meters on the Ukrainian flat plains with 50kg load is probably nothing for Xi.

He also implemented digester, during which poop split all over him.

Not many ruling elites do that, sinking in Kiddo.
