Before thinking about Kyiv again, they need to take Avdiivka first. The question is, can they do it without depleting all the ground offensive capabilities? So far, the losses on the Avdiivka offensive have been huge, with very little to show for.
European countries are allies, and part of the common economic bloc named the European Union. While it is true that each country has individual interests that many times are divergent, it was in the common interest of all Europeans to defend Ukraine and stop Russia from advancing West.
In the...
This is why your judgement of the whole situation is wrong. The Arab states are not an extension of Israel. They are independent states that try to look after their own interests, which is how states should act.
For the wealthy Arab states, Israel is a more natural ally than the Palestinians...
I think the Saudis, UAE, Bahrain and Qatar are the only countries right now that are actually trying to kickstart that vitality back into the Arabs as a civilization.
You don’t kickstart a modern civilization by waging militia warfare and ruining your country. The Syrians, Iraquis or Yemenis...
If I didn’t know you are serious, I would think this part of the post is satire.
You are advocating for people living a good life to start a militia and to live and die like rats, just because you think Saudis should sacrifice themselves for a far away place known as Jerusalem.
His chances of...
This is true as long as Ukraine doesn’t run out of soldiers. This is why I think the West should supply more long range weapons that can improve the kill ratio of Ukrainians. It is important for Ukraine to inflict the maximum amount of damage with the lowest possible loss of troops.
The common...
Why would Arabs in Saudi Arabia, Jordan or Egypt want to drag themselves in a perpetual never-ending war that results in only death and suffering for them?
Why would Saudis want to be like Lebanon?
Saudi Arabia is a wealthy country where most people live a good life. Why would they want to...
Good! The Archers are thought to be some of the best artillery systems in the world. We’ll finally get a chance to see how they performe in real action.
Artillery is the main tank killer in this war, and generally the main killer. The combination of reconnaissance drones and precision artillery is very lethal and cost effective. This is what Ukraine and the West should focus on.
But who says the enemy tank was not destroyed as well? From what I’ve seen on some Youtube channels reporting about the war, there have been some fights were tanks on both sides have been destroyed, but the crews of the Leopards survived, unlike the crews of the Soviet made tanks.
The Saudis realized it is better to be on the winning side. They want to enjoy their wealth and integrate in the high-tech wealthy Western world, instead of being dragged into other people’s conflicts fanned by terrorist groups.
I am not condoning the brutality of Israel and the...
Germany was never known for freedom of speech. We’re talking about a country that bans certain political parties once they reach a significant level of support. Very much like Russia. What do you expect from them?
The difference is Hamas doesn’t have artillery. This is what makes the Russian-Ukrainian war so special, because it is the first war in a long time when both armies have heavy capabilities and are able to use them on the battlefield. Most other wars are conflicts when one side has excessive...
And why would the Chinese want to repeat the Japanese error and start a losing war?
If they’ll wait for Russia to close in on Kyiv, they have a long time to wait, so they can stick to their long term army modernization plans.
Refraining from carpet bombing Gaza would have been a good faith way of demonstrating to the Saudis that Israel is a country worth fostering relations with. But they missed that chance.
Netanyahu is too worried about clinging to power. He doesn’t care about the long term interests of Israel. He...
Add drug consumption, the Welfare State, high salaries for state workers and high pensions compared to private sector pay, and you get high youth unemployment and a declining population.
Defending Ukraine is in Europe’s interest. Sending aid to Israel would make no sense and be extremely...
I don’t know about that. I know that the propaganda they put on TV is still pro-Israel (they still show only the families of the Israeli dead from the terror attack every day, as if that day was the only day when people died), but I assume that the more knowledgeable people are not pro-Israel...
Yes, that is totally ridiculous. The US is embarrassing itself by licking Israel’s boots.
The Evangelical Christians in the US are for normal Christians what ISIS fanatics are for normal Muslims. They are a nutty bunch, a deranged sect that has nothing to do with mainstream Christianity...
