Only God is bigger than the individual. Anyone thinking otherwise is just manipulated by those profiteering from their sacrifices. Since you think Putin is such a great strategist with a long term perspective that will help Russia flourish and become more powerful, I decided to make a...

The terrorists from IS that blow themselves up at least expect some virgins in the afterlife, but imagine the stupidity of dying for Ukraine’s riches. I wonder how do those dead Russians will benefit from the “richness of Ukraine”?

What they actually need is cheap long range drones to attack Russia non-stop. Russia is using S-300 missiles to attack Kharkiv because it doesn’t need the missiles to defend its territory as the attacks are very scarce. The best defence is always offence, and in the case of air defence, it is...

That’s why the US is so hated all over the world. Their pity internal politics always trump the serious issues of other countries, and this creates the image of an arrogant country that doesn’t care about its allies. When the US cares more about oil prices in an election year (despite the fact...

It is essential that the Czechs continue their effort of securing shells from all over the world. It took only a few weeks to find funding for the first batch, so money is not the problem. The coalition should make sure they buy all the shells available anywhere in the world and put them to good...

The Czechs need to find additional shells, as the donations needed to purchase them keep piling in.

It’s not the warfare that will ruin their lifestyle, but the economic cost of the war. If Russia continues on this war footing for a few more years, the Russian people will be impoverished to levels not seen even in the 90s. Russia has no way to win a prolonged war against Europe, as the amount...

I know you meant opton #2, but the funny thing is that what you wrote is actually the truth. Any sensible Russian would choose option 1 rather than the continuation of a ruinous war that would end with Russians living like North Koreans. If this war continues for a few more years, the 90s will...

Actually it is the best use of taxmoney. The main task of a government is defence, as this is something that the private sector can’t provide. The most rational way to spend taxmoney is for defence, and helping Ukraine destroy Russia’s military is the cheapest way Germany can invest in its defense.

Russia had good relations with the EU before the invasion, but Putin destroyed it all when he started the war against Macron’s pledges not to do it. The EU wanted to build good relations with Russia, but Putin saw this as a weakness, and he thought the EU will allow him to take Ukraine. He was...

I think Europe’s biggest mistake is focusing on defense (which is very expensive and ineffective) instead of focusing on offense (which is cheaper and more effective). All those interceptor missiles you mentioned are extremely high tech and expensive, and they are produced in low quantities. On...

If the French will join the war (which right now is still a very unlikely possibility), it will probably be in a way that the losses they sustain will be minimal. It’s not like the French will send people in the trenches or storming units. However, the French could support the Ukrainians with...

No, the prime instigator of this war is Russia, and it is not benefiting from it. Russia is losing thousands of young men, has had a huge outflow of migration of skilled labor and its economy is in shambles. The instigator is not doing well at all. The US’s “hand” in these conflicts is...

Conscripts are basically treated like slaves. They are forced to work for their country against their will, and they don’t even get the right to vote. But you will hear people talk about the male privilege and how bad women have it. At least women ae not forced into slavery for a good part of...

The so called far-right has risen too much in the polls in France, so Macron needs to do something to reassert control and to show strength. France is the most powerful European country from a military perspective, and the second most powerful country in NATO, so it is natural for France to...

The US also has the advantage of being the world’s biggest producer of oil, with an abundance of cheap natural gas as well, so from the perspective of energy independence, the US is in a privileged position. As for the political system, the two-party systen in the US is superior to the...

I think that the best solution for Ukraine right now would be if a few European countries would decide to send troop in Ukraine, but not to the frontline to fight Russia, but at the borders with Belarus and Transnistria. That would allow Ukraine to unblock the troops currently guarding the...

Ukraine has lost more men than the 31k said by Zelensky, but 500k is way over the top. The number is obviously pretty high, and the injured add up to the killed, so the losses are surely significant, but nowhere near 500k. That may possibly be true. That could explain why they need more men...

The Ukrainian military has not yet answered Zelensky’s question about the 700,000 mobilized people that haven’t participated in combat. It is hard to have a mobilization when the military has 1 million personnel of which only 300 thousand have participated in combat. Why do they need civilians...

This is the result of the stupidity of the Trumpist Party (former Republican party or GOP). By withholding US aid and the delivery of artillery shells from US stockpiles, Ukraine is starved of ammunition and it loses much more expensive equipment it previously received from the US. In the end...
