Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

Russians taking to the streets and protesting in Russia.

This despite being threatened with jail time and possibly worse.

God bless those brave people.

Not just Pakistan. China’s L-15 depends on Motor Sich for engines and if I am not mistaken Turkey is collaborating with them for drone engine/helicopter engine.

My question is will the engines come if Ukraine joins NATO?

Here you go:

Perhaps for others who didnt know who he is. He is the father (or one of the fathers) of the neorealism school of thought.

Words of near prophetic wisdom.

Translation: this crisis has been created by the West, and using the Ukrainians as human shields for the West.

Another one. The former US ambassador to the USSR testified that the ' eastward expansion of Nato would be the greatest foreign policy blunder of the post-cold war era'.

They had been warned.

Article 5 of NATO:

The most serious section of the treaty is Article 5, which is known as the “commitment clause.” Within this clause, every member of NATO agrees that it will consider an armed attack against any member state, whether in Europe or North America, as an attack against all 30 members of the organization.

I think current talks from Russian side are mostly smoke. The purpose is to distract and confound. Only after the battle subsides, the talks become serious.

I believe Russia, Sweden and Finland will come to an agreement behind doors.

Finland was part of Russia for about a century.

You are correct, my mistake.
It was a autonomus part of Russian Empire

Was PDF just cyberattacked by Russians? I had a hard time refreshing it.

A senior Pentagon official told reporters on Friday afternoon that Russian forces have lost “momentum” in their invasion of Ukraine, although Russia has not yet deployed all available military forces.

“The Russians have lost a little bit of their momentum. No population centers have been taken. Russia has yet to achieve air superiority,” the official said. “They are not moving on Kyiv as fast as they anticipated it going.”

The official noted that “Ukrainian command and control is intact.”

Pakistani people forgets Afghanistan invasion of soviet union.

We were after the western propagandists and Zia both lied that USSR wants access to the Arabian Sea and the next target will be Pakistan. At that time the USA was trying to install a pro-west government in Kabul - Remember so many coups in a short span of time in Kabul? That was the result of USA interference and USSR efforts to counter them.

Thanks, ALLAH SWT we were saved from USA wicked tricks in the decade of the 60s when the USA had a base in Peshawar for intelligence surveillance over USSR.
U2 were based at Peshawar and one was shot down by USSR in their airspace and the pilot Mr. Gerry Power was arrested alive.
The results:
1- Our so-called pharaaaand USA embargoed Pakistan for weapons in 65 war.
2- USSR was angry at the time and later we paid the price in the 70s as USSR supported India with all moral/material/diplomatic means, especially weapons.
We only waited for USA 7th fleet for interference to prevent the fall of 'Dacca' but they never reached.
Till today many Pakistanis/Politicians/Generals/Bureaucrats happily try to put their weight behind USA/West - because the Russian system does not suit our elite class in terms of privileges.

If Ukraine survives. That’s the question. Also keep in mind that it takes time for the factories to ramp back up production after the dust has settled.

As wise as the phrase "don't poke the bear". This time, it means literally.

Americans are suckers for such news that always come from some senior official of some organization without giving his/her name.

Idiotic straw man argument.

I don't know why every tom dick and harry is against Ukraine in this whole fiasco. Russia is the last country you want to make good links with. It is Indias bumchum. The amount of affection Ukraine has for a free-spirited life is beyond any country on the planet. Yet more than half of everyone on here is two chokes deep on Russian klubs.
