POV from a Brookings Scholar:

In Aleppo there were humanitarien corridors too and were used by the civilians...in the beginning. Then the terrorist head choppers (living now in Germany) shot at the fleeing civillians to hinder them to use the corridor. It seems that the Ukrainia gov do the same as the terrorist head choppers did in Aleppo.

"Was killed on charges of treason" ? What is the full story ? And yet the tweet has "#StayWithUkraine" ?

But why are Ukranian military's much vaunted Turkish drones not harassing Russian soldiers everywhere ? I am not much of a military knowledged person but even I have that simple question.

Maybe because before the war Ukraine only had 20 Bayraktar ? Although Turkey is supplying more drones to Ukraine.

Don't know about that, but we are definitely arming Latvia and Estonia, may not be nuclear tho, but we will see.

Latavia and Estonia , useless move , they don't have strategic depth necessary to stand against attack by a country as big as Russia

 

[SIPRA]

Look at the state of this Ukrainian Village in Donbas— if this continues there won’t be much of a Ukraine left to rebuild.

You are mistaken, Sir, if I may say. Human beings have an extraordinary capability to rebuild. World of post-WWII is a proof.

......They are in NATO, their strategic depth is the entire Western Europe......

You do know NATO is surrounding Russia on all 3 sides right?

Alaska, US from the East, Turkey from the South, and Western Europe from the West, and that's before Finland decided to join, which they are seriously considering right now...

 

[RescueRanger]

That should BE done. Just pointing out some of his sources are propagating repetitive claims

Fair enough sir.

You are mistaken, Sir, if I may say. Human beings have an extraordinary capability to rebuild. World of post-WWII is a proof.

Agreed but did you know that most of Europe and the UK are still paying war debts for the rebuilding effort post WWII?

Besides buildings can be rebuilt— shattered lives cannot.

Now this is BIG news.

the problem with arming them is that any unit stationed there would be lost in first wave of the war , they are just there to be a buffer zone for rest of Europe , its a lot better to arm the countries behind them countries like Lithuania and Poland

1. I agree with you that we shouldn't have an echo chamber on this thread and on the entire forum and I too am in the habit of writing elaborate posts to those of views opposite to me so that I can understand their POV and put across my point so that what is rational and sensible is what prevails but do look at @Messerschmitt's and @Vergennes' postings on this thread. Nothing from their postings include anything that NATO wouldn't put out in a one-sided manner. Not one post.

2. That you are a sensible person is what I judged for your posts to me and in general your posts on this thread and that is heartening to know.

3. About military collaboration between Pakistan and Ukraine, well, that is better put into context. The political affiliation of those two gentlemen, the directions given to them by the Pakistani government of that time and the fact that had Pakistani history starting with Faiz Ahmed Faiz and his comrades in their attempt to establish Socialist governance in Pakistan and if Pakistani leftists had succeeded in taking over from Zia ul Haq in the 1980s then Pakistani military would have had Russian tank engines, aircraft, ships and other materiel. Sympathy of Pakistanis in this war should not be looked at from narrow immediate collaborations but from historical as well as from moral and geopolitical point of view.

Fully agree and thank you for taking the time write such a detailed and eloquent reply.

So 269 Russian tanks lost according to pro-Zelensky newspaper The Kyiv Independent but 99 Russian tanks lost according to also pro-Zelensky Oryx Twitter source. All of Zelensky's people are lying !

@SIPRA

Maybe because before the war Ukraine only had 20 Bayraktar ? Although Turkey is supplying more drones to Ukraine.

And how does Erdogan plan to get the drones to Zelensky ? Also, aren't those Turkish drones SUPAPAWA ?

Yesterday there was a video about him being interrogated harshly by Ukrainian security forces..

Sad. What did he do ?

You cannot fight a war without any lost, if you are afraid of loses, you should not start a war in the first place.

Anyway, attacking NATO, even as small as Latvia will almost guarantee an Entire European War, set aside whether or not it will lead to Nuclear Exchange. it will trigger an attack in Russia in 3 fronts, and may even be from Finland and Nordic country. I don't think Russia can handle that kind of pressure, seeing how they fare with tiny Ukraine at the moment...this does not give me any confidence

you are talking about 2,300,000 to 900,000 troop (only counted active personnel) and over 500 million population in the West vs 150 million in Russia. I can honestly say the only thing can "save" Russia is their nuclear weapon...

Bitter fact of the life: Who cares for the shattered lives?
