    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    Listen to me now: I feel truly sorry for any civilian or person suffering due to a war - especially for those sufferings and misery caused by irresponsible politicians. So read my posts or ignore my posts - up to you. Your neighbor might see them as liberators - so do likely the majority of...

    China In an EV world, Europe’s automakers are even more reliant on China

    Basically the vast majority of those German companies wanting or already pulling out of China are those that haven't been able to draw a single cent of profit since their initial investment in China - especially those having invested since 2000. Simply due to poor management and not recognizing...

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    Any real military expert will know that without a specific military component - Ukraine will never be able to win that war. So this whole thing is just a show. Played out on the backs of Ukrainian civilians and Ukraine soldiers more or less dying for nothing. There is no way for any army to...

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    Depends as to who the aggressor is - was the USA termed to be an aggressive nation, upon attacking Iraq for a 2nd time? or Granada? or Serbia? or Syria? or... One always needs to understand both sides - just condemning one side for it's actions doesn't solve anything or future disputes. My...

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    As I had stated already many times, it all starts off with Ukraine breaking the Alma Ata Declaration. The Baltic States never signed this, since they were not the founders of CIS and were never members of that organization. Off course Ukraine is also free do so - but then a responsible...

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    There is no question that the U.S. and NATO — President George Bush and Secretary of State James A. Baker — made a deal in early February 1990 with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze. According to documents declassified in 2017, the deal essentially was...

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    From Russia's point of view - that is a nonsensical excuse - since clear verbal statements had been made by NATO; not one inch East. NATO could have said NO - to any applicant if it hadn't had the intention to expand eastwards. Those former East-Block countries could very well have formed an own...

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    Yes encouraged Russia to take further actions - but the war/issue in 2014 and 2022 started due to Russia not willing to accept NATO's continued expansion - specifically not towards Ukraine.

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    i don't see that happening (yet) - the issue was as to Russia having bases for it's Baltic fleet - which they have.

    USA The US is heavily reliant on China and Russia for its ammo supply chain. Congress wants to fix that.

    Same news as during Dumb Trump's tenure - US action taken = 0 to irrelevant. There are plenty of issues were the US relies or is totally dependent on China. China is a dominant force when it comes to generic drugs in particular, which account for the vast majority of medicines that Americans...

    Biden announces Indo-Pacific economic pact to counter China

    China is investigating onto the claims. Keep in mind that there are no "100% private" banks in China. In the past a lot of mismanagement (corruption and illegal banking business) has been conducted. Lot's of "illegal obtained" savings have also been accumulated. Rest assured that legal savings...

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    Absolutely correct - but as long as Russia is not able to hold the coastline, e.g. via taking Mykolaiv and Odessa - this island is meaningless since it is not defensible against long range artillery. And it serves no tactical value in regard to supporting an amphibious landing - since it is far...

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    I don't see it as a military setback at all - it's the right thing to do. Since oil and gas can't be exploited presently - it serves no purpose at all. That Ukraine will use this to highlight moral and the will to win is understood - after all the Ukraine just lost 1000km2 in a week plus...

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    Presently certainly not - depend on how this war will end. As for Snake island - especially in view of long range artillery this mini-island becomes in-defensible. So Russia is doing the right thing - they really don't need it to block wheat shipments or whatever - this island only becomes of...

    Biden announces Indo-Pacific economic pact to counter China

    hmm.. you are starting to bring in unsubstantiated statements again - China's banks are not bankrupt and 600 million people do not "earn" less then US$140 but have a disposable income of....., and it is not hard to feed the 1.4 billion people. And you can be very sure that China will not lack...

    Apple to produce iPad in Vietnam for the first time

    Yes - this is presently happening - due to the trade war, but mostly in regards to making more money in Vietnam and hoping to compensating lost market-share in China via the Vietnamese market. Which is a substantial market (100million people) and a rising GDP. The same reason applies towards...

    Former US Defense secretary says China ‘could bring Taiwan to its knees’ without invading

    Not sure what you mean. Essentially those two only need to agree that the province of Taiwan will be governed in regards to national interests, such as defense and foreign affairs by Beijing - just as any other Chinese province. As for Taiwan let them keep their parties and who ever has the...

    Former US Defense secretary says China ‘could bring Taiwan to its knees’ without invading

    They should definitely reunite - and I am sure they will, but the ROC system of governance wouldn't be of any benefit to 1,4 billion Mainland Chinese. No one there want's to go back to the disastrous corruption practices and economic/social inequality of the KMT or former and present ROC system.

    PLA's Y-20 cargo planes deliver disaster relief supplies to Tonga in record-breaking mission

    Hmm.. I love this aircraft. I am aware that PLAF send 6 of them to Serbia in April this year. China’s state-owned Global Times reported that the Y-20 large transport aircraft is expected to switch to domestically developed engines with a high bypass ratio. Military experts have claimed that...

    Since China is likely to be the first nation to send a manned mission to Mars - has any real-estate been claimed by anyone yet?
