Great stuff.

Macron adds France to list of countries ponying up money for Pavels artillery plan.

Does it at the same time he refuses to rule out troops so it hardly gets noticed but it's a done deal.

Macron lacked will to deal with wagner in africa due to "escalation"

Zero chance for boots on ground

You’re a bright one, aren’t you ?

Here’s alternative: start treating every non western country with respect and consider their security concerns. That solves everything

Lmao yeah right, one autocrat's "security concerns" are another nation's sovereignty and cultural identity lol

 

[GhostZ06]

Well, in theory. Looking at Russia's performance in Ukraine it's likely they would get bogged down in Poland or even the Baltics. But they certainly had more troops, tanks and planes to be able to launch a broad offensive.
For example, their Su-27+ planes are broadly similar to the F-16 but they are shooting their own planes down lol.

35S, 30SM, 30sm2 which are the advanced more capable aircraft.

Also fun little fact, it appears Su-34 has usually escorted by 2 Su-35s(seems to be the tactic)

much like how Su-25s always operate in pairs of 2

Yes, I'm lumping all of these as Su-27+ as they're variants. But the point is that they had enough to deal with the weaker NATO states, in theory.

Yeah, didn't watch the interview but my guess is he got a stupid question and just gave what he perceived to be the tougher answer when there is a less than 0 chance of it ever happening.

There's probably another 10 major escalations Europe can implement before they start running out of options.

Hell Europe is still sending 40% of produced artillery to other countries that aren't even fighting wars.

What cultural identity ? Unlike Ukraine, Russians don’t topple Ukrainian monuments and don’t prohibit Ukrainian music. Check how Crimea is doing, Ukrainian is STILL an official language there

 

[PEB]

The British Government been quietly working on the AN-225 with Ukraine as well as British and private parties have put up the nearly 1 billion dollars to restore the Antonov AN-225. They stripped off much of what they could from the destroyed plane to be used to help maintain the other Antonov planes. Apparently progress at the right pace and we could see it in the hanger by 2026. The British Government in regards to their involvement they require all who work on the plane Go through high level security training and selects the best from these classes. The level of security as well has selecting the best though the school.

Putin doesn't even believe there is such a thing as "Ukraine" lmao

 

[Denter]

Has it though? Seems to me like "Russia" is whatever Moscow can control via force and in the end "Russia" is just an absolute monarchy, the State exists to serve its ruler who is supported by loyalists, loyal to Putin, not loyal to the country interests.

It's tradition at this point.

Weird, the notoriously anti-Russian ISW said that despite their initial assumptions the percentage of ethnic Russians (Russkies) fighting and dying in Ukraine was proportional to their overall representation. Muscovites, however, weren't being drafted in large numbers.

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, December 9, 2024

The Kremlin continues to cautiously signal that it can ensure the security of Russian military bases in Syria in the short-term but notably has expressed uncertainty about the long-term future of the military bases against the backdrop of the volatile and rapidly evolving political situation in...

I think it's probably analogous to military recruiting in the USA. New York City is probably underrepresented in our military too

 

[Strychnine]

Yeah, thats exactly what happened. Even on Feb 24, Russia made an ultimatum to Zelensky to implement the Minsk accords that Ukraine SIGNED. He declined.

Oh, yeah... It was THAT that started the war! <Lmaoo>

 

[Strychnine]

Lmao not a good look

There's always Myanmar.

Wrong War,

The Palestine, Israel War thread is that way ——>

There are already people who want peace in the Middle East. This thread has way too much warmongering mentality. Just trying to find some balance.

The war is over, Ukraine lost badly. Not many left to fight as this is turning into a genocide.

Oh, I get it, let's send NATO troops in there and mop this blood stain up.

You are hitlerite and Putin is Nazi.
Russia is repeating Hitler's textbook from 1938 th and you are russian troll not willing to help your Hitler Putin in trenches.

Puffy cubicle and paycheck for posts comrade....continue dear.
While really it isn't worth to read your s**** posts.
Hitler's excuses 1938-1939 I had to read and Huilo is promoting the same boring excuses....

He's been pretty accurate with his analysis & predictions throughout the entire conflict. That's what happens when one has a decent understanding of history and can look at events objectively. The Ukrainian cheerleader channels on the other hand have been doing about as well as Ben Hodges.

what's your excuse for the russian war crimes of targeting civilians?
