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...

What they did in Bakhmut was wrong, and a repeat of that would also be wrong. One of the reasons why Syrskyi is not trusted by the Ukrainian military is exactly the bad strategy he had in Bakhmut, because he retreated too late. In the initial part of the offensive (both Balhmut and Avdiivka)...

You mean it will add another 70 million of opressed people who want to revolt and sabotage their opressors? Do you think that people from the invaded countries will gladly join Russia’s military to help it expand further? How did the big Algerian population pool help the French in the fifties...

The people of one country are not guilty by association because some media personalities in their country have stupid opinions. The majority of Palestinians do not desreve what is happening to them just because Hamas did a terror attack. Just as Hamas doesn’t represent all Palestinians, those...

If we don’t ask for too much, can you also sum-up Ukrainian losses, so we can clearly see the difference and the loss ratio? For example, say “62 Main Battle Tanks for RU vs 14 for UA”.

So if some idiots who support Ukraine on Twitter are also supporting Israel, this means you shouldn’t piy the innocent Ukrainians that are victims of this unjust war? By the same logic, we shouldn’t pity the Palestinians being slaughtered by the IDF because some idiots who support Palestine on...

There are two types of far righters in Europe: 1) The real ones, who know history and are ultranationalists, who praise the old fascists that fought against the Soviet Union. Those are hardcore anti-Russian and are more in line with the Ukrainian Banderites (like Azov). Those type of far...

To put the 50 billion euros grant by the EU in perspective, it should be noted that before the war Ukraine’s government total yearly spending was around 30 billion euros. https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/Ukraine/government_spending_dollars/ Russia thought that it could outlast Ukraine in a war...

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-68165971 As expected, European leaders including Putin’s friend Orban, approved the 50 billion aid package for Ukraine. This also sends a strong signal to Washington that the US must step up its game and approve the aid package for Ukraine.

Present day Europeans are not Nazis (except for Putin and his supporters) or Soviets. We don’t want war, but when a Nazi like Putin tries to grab land, we will make sure that he is defeated. You are trolling, so it is a waste of time responding to you now.

All those terriotorial deals happened during times when we had non-stop wars. Because when countries are divided like that, you always end up with wars and conflict. And “we” is for, we Europeans, who are sick of wars and prefer to live in peace and prosperity. In the EU we travel freely...

Yes, I remember the times when we had those type of win-win deals in Europe, when two great powers (Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union) avoided war by dividing Poland between them. Oh, wait, they didn’t avoid war…
