Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[zartosht]

Sergei karjakin.. one of the best chest players on earth and a famous ukrainian-russian . just got banned by FIDE chess for daring to support His Countries military.

Russians have the choice of openly denouncing their country or getting kicked out of any international competition, event or at minimum facing an avalanche of abuse and harrasment

Isnt it the mother of all Ironys though. One of the best chess players on earth (soon to be THE greatest chess player)alireza firouzja was stolen from Iran with western money. and heavily used as propaganda because he couldnt openly play against zionists he had to leave Iran.


Now "free" France bans him from playing against Russians .... you really cant make this shit up anymore.

Luhansk front seems to be actually collapsing on the Russian side. Ukrainian regulars who were there from before the invasion fighting separatists, ground through Russian regular army, and is now only facing conscript staffed units, and mobilised civilians which surrender by whole companies at a time.

If you look at the rail map, Luhansk has much weaker supply line to Russia, as they have no rail connection.

Contrasting Russia's invasion of Ukraine with America's invasion of Iraq

It's not a channel to be taken too seriously.

The Russian Kinzhal missile has a speed of 12,000 km an hour 10 times faster than sound. watch the reporter's astonishment when he saw that he had hit a Ukrainian arms depot 136 meters underground, knowing that thee Russianss have a missile twice as powerful as this one, with a speed of 27 thousand kilometers per hour, called Avangard, which has not been used yet..

The US will try to make it a 'with us or against us' binary choice as usual, but the Europeans, Chinese and Russians will allow countries to adopt a 'spread your chips' approach.

Spread your chips, but there is certainly less enthusiasm in Beijing. OBOR is on life support only now, because they can't let Xi's project to be seen rolled back.

OBOR is on life support only now,

In Europe only, because of the war, but it is going ahead in the rest of the world.

In Europe only, because of the war, but it is going ahead in the rest of the world.

True. A hiccup. A bump. Nobody should expect the war lasts more than a few months. Why are people exaggerating the death of OBOR when the bumps are short in duration and regional only?

@LeGenD you were asking about Armata's absence repeatedly. This may be the answer
