You do realize that Turkey is the country hosting the most refugees in the World right now? With 3.5 million refugees, it has many more than any European country. By comparison, the countries with most refugees in Europe are: Germany - 2 mil Poland - 0.97 mil France - 0.6 mil Basically the...

They get paid in the local currency in the West as well. It just happens that the local currencies of the US and most EU countries are very strong currencies.

But you have lots of refugees from Syria who are a big burden on your country.

They would be better off if they started a war for independence of their republic instead of helping Russia destroy Ukraine. Now it is the best time for Russian republics to seek independence, because the Moscovites would not be able to fight on multiple fronts. This is why they send their...

It’s good that they finally retreated. They clearly overstayed in Avdiivka and incurred avoidable losses, but at least they didn’t insist in the mistake for too long. Hopefully they will learn from their mistakes and won’t do this again in the future. The life and morale of their troops shold...

Not only Scholz. It was Merkel who started the downward path with her abandonment of nuclear power and her open invitation for Syrian refugees. Merkel was Putin’s puppet and her goal was to make Germany dependent on Russian gas. She was even worse than Sholtz.

I totally agree with you here. Ukrainians don’t have the pilots and infrastructure to use F35s, and even the F16s are a very difficult weapon to implement in such a short period of time, but I agree that they have been extremely slow with weapons deliveries and F16s should have already been...

I actually agree with you that the social welfare programs in Western Europe have destroyed the young generation, but I think the Netherlands are an extreme case, considering they are also leading in the drug use and LGBTQ degeneracy. Not all European countries are as bad as the Netherlands in...

Good, there are lots of artillery, tanks snd IFVs lost by the Russians in a single day, with very few Ukrainian losses.

While I agree with your points, the problems you mentioned (except for energy maybe) are self-inflicted and can easily be resolved through changes in legislation. The people who are on state programs could eaily be turned into a workforce if those programs were to be suspended. Of course, for...

You’re making wrong equivalencies. Iraq was not Georgia. It was one of the most heavily armed countries in the world, with a military that had over one million in personnel (one of the largest in the world). Defeating Iraq was theoretically harder than defeating Ukraine is today, and look how...

The harsh CO2 regulations could be easily removed if Europe decided to move into a war footing. This is something self-imposed, and it is characteristic of a peace time economy. If Europe felt threatened in a real way, it would ramp up military production and suspend all the regulations that...

You do realize that Iraq was one of the most heavily armed countries in the world at the time, with one of the largest armies? The fact that is was defeated with so few losses is an exceptional achievement from a military point of view. As for the 34 against 1, you know very well that the war...

Russia is now fully mobilized for war with its economy turned into a war economy. They consume all their resources on the war effort, and yet all they can show is some tiny advances on the battlefield. The fact that even after they fully mobilized their industry for war they are unable to...

And how did that serve the people of Iraq? Saddam led his country to pointless wars he could never win, killing hundreds of thousands of his people and leaving behind a fractured state rife with terrorists and under the influence of foreign powers. The only good leaders of Arab nations who...

It’s probably meant to put pressure on the House to pass the Ukraine aid bill. If Russia represents a big threat to US security, than it would be irresponsible to vote against military aid for Ukraine, who is weakening Russia. I hope the trick works and the House passes the bill.

So you are ok with using missiles to hit shopping malls and killing civilians? I guess this really explains why you like the Russians so much.

My opinion is that the strategy was mistaken, and the decision was made not only because of strategic reasons, but also because of political reasons. Zelensky doesn’t like to show defeats on the battlefield (he is very much like Putin in this regard), and Syrsky is a very loyal general to...

While there were also positive aspects in defending Bakhmut for such a long time, the overall result was bad for Ukraine. In Ukraine’s situation, one of the most important things is to keep troop morale high and maintain a population that is willing to join the war effort. From a psychological...

Janissaries were raised and trained from the time they were small children. It took a generation to raise a unit. Even if Russia would try to use the same concept with annexed territories, it would be almost 20 years before they would be able to field such troops. In the meantime they would...
