Hoo boy, they really showed Stalin with that one, hm? Really threatened his position and power there, by giving a destroyed city deep inside soviet controlled territory food and coal, that scared the living daylight out of him and the kremlin! Ever heard of Lend-Lease, where the British and...

There's a fair chance that the US will end up in a civil war anyway, once Trump returns in 2024. Not going to be pretty, but honestly, good riddance at this point

How exactly did the west stand up to Stalin?

The forum rules state that: Insulting & Name Calling Defence Hub wishes to be a platform of productive exchange of ideas. In this context insulting & name calling other posters, countries, country leaders, ethnic / national / religious identities are strictly forbidden. So saying that Xi...

Since we're on the topic, do you or anyone know how far along are they on the Dalian-Yantai tunnel construction?

I genuinely believed that she'd get off without any consequences whatsoever. But then again, this is America and she has only been found guilty, not sentenced. Knowing how their "justice" system tends to work, some poor bastard they picked off the streets who carried 10g of cocaine will probably...

Anyone know who will be replacing him?

I'm guessing you're referring to Uganda and the Entebbe Airport here. Just checked the GDP figures for Uganda and they've been on a steep rise since 2016, from 29 Billion up to 37 Billion in 2020. That Airport cost around 700 million if I remember correctly, there was a 7 year grace period for...

One thing thats very important is the long-term picture, I think. With China, you know that the leadership will likely remain stable and infrastructure investment into ASEAN and other places a top priority of the government. It's the main foreign policy objective and a well known goal that...

You make a valid point here, no doubt. But how desperate are you, as a pregnant woman, to cross the English Channel in late November, with little more than a rubber dinghy? An overloaded one at that, because I doubt that they are made to carry 29 people, let alone across unruly seas.

I mean, I doubt that they would directly strike nuclear facilities with conventional weaponry. Think back to the Stuxnet virus and how much damage that did to the program, a computer virus achieved more carnage than any bombing run. And I'm not an expert by any means, but the most vital...

Pentagon Watches Possible Russian Troop Buildup Near Ukraine The Pentagon is monitoring the Ukraine region closely amid reports of a new buildup of Russian troops on the country’s border, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Monday. According to The Washington Post, US officials are concerned...

Sudan's Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok was put under house arrest after an unidentified military force besieged his house early on Monday, Al Hadath TV reported on Monday citing unidentified sources. No independent confirmation was immediately available. A military force stormed the house of...

How likely is it that Taiwan will be invaded by 2027 (The most specific I would say is April 2027, as the 12th of April 2027 would commemorate the centennial of the Shanghai Massacre of 12th of April 1927)? The invasion capabilities of China would be sufficient enough by that point, and it would...

Not quite sure why you'd use that picture. Finland, Sweden, Ireland, Switzerland and Austria aren't part of NATO and have no obligation to fight for the US, Germany has no desire to choose sides in a conflict between China and USA, the submarine deal has severely snubbed France and I doubt that...
