It doesn’t matter which are the direct buyers of Ukrainian grains. As long as they get to the market, all buyers of grains benefit from bigger supplies and lower prices. If Ukraine would be unable to ship any grains to Europe and China, the Europeans and the Chinese would bid for the remaining...

That’s a French SCALP missile. While similar to the Storm Shadow, it should be called correctly, since it has the name written on it with the colors of the French flag.

In theory, you are right, but this is taking the things out of context. This war is not just Ukraine vs Russia. It is by extension a war between the West and Russia fought by the Ukrainians, and it is the moral duty of the most powerful Western military to help them win the war with the least...

Even if that would be its best use, it would still save lives (mostly civilian lives in this case) which still shows that delaying the delivery is a criminal act.

Of course it would have been legitimate. If a country is invaded and bombed by another country, it has the right to retaliate. The invading country may call the retaliations as acts of terrorism, just like Russia calls the Ukrainian attacks terrorism, but this doesn’t mean they are not a...

There is a difference between a country retaliating in a war after it has been invaded, and a terrorist organization organizing terror attacks. Is it that hard to see the diffeence?

Of course not. Nobody says it would. But it is also undeniable that a few dozen F-16s armed with modern munitions would have brought a significant boost to this offensive. When we’re talking about thousands of young men being sent to death, there is no excuse for not sending additional weapons...

He didn’t have to declare war on Russia, but he could have given Ukraine a few dozen F-16s, as well as a few hundred JASSMs, JDAMS, ATACMS and Tomahawks. It is a shame that to this day Ukraine only has a few cruise missiles from the UK, while the US has yet to deliver any. They should have been...

This is criminal from the part of Zelensky and Biden. Throwing good people to die with low chances of success because of politics is just criminal. There is no excuse for the so called “civilized world” to not provide air support for Ukraine when doing such major pushes. The lack of meaningful...

Unfortunately Macron always considerd Putin and Russia as a potential ally and this war went against his geopolitical plans and ambitions. He hoped the war could be ended rapidly through a negotiated settlement and relations with Russia returned to the pre-war era. France started to send more...

So far Europeans have given more aid to Ukraine than the US. Here‘s a statistic: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1303432/total-bilateral-aid-to-ukraine/ You can see that if you add the EU Institutions, UK, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, you get a total of 70...

They don’t need to send their “most advamnced” weapons. They need to send ATACMS, AGM-158 JASSM and F16s. Those two missiles and the addition of F16 jets could very well tip the balance on the battlefield in the favor of Ukraine. The Storm Shadows have helped a lot, but Ukraine is very lmited...

More advanced weapons to Ukraine, until they manage to break through Russian defences. They still have very few cruise missiles and a very outdated Air Force. If the US would start to be serious about helping Ukraine win the war, it would be possible to end it with a Ukrainina victory. But for...

17-23 is still less than 36, and this is only about replacing the modern jets lost. Now add the Su-25, Su-24, Migs and Helicopetrs lost (which are far more than the new deliveries), and you see a big decrease in combat aircraft. On top of that, we must also consider the pilots who were killed...

That tweet presumed 4 jets have been delivered this year to the VKS. They lost much more than that this year (they lost two jets in a single day in May). Now add the high number of helicopters lost (they even lost some in the Wagner mutiny), and the crew that died in those crashes. The VKS is...

Yes, the West ordered Putin to invade Ukraine, in order to fulfill its Machiavelian plan of ruining Ukraine and Russia at the same time. It is always the West’s fault.

I think Kaliningrad should become an independent state of pro-West ethnic Russians. It should be like Taiwan, and it could become the 4th Baltic Country, joining the EU at a later stage. It should not be annexed by Poland or Lithuania, as this would be a Putinesque imperialistic action, and it...

This is simply wrong. One thing cannot be black on a personal level and white on a grand scale. Stealing on a grand scale is not civilized. In most capitalist economies, there is nothing such as ”stealing from the poor by the rich”. Generally, it is the rich who pay the most taxes, and the poor...

What you consider “civilized” is more accurately referred to as “developed” or “advanced”. The term “civilized” implies some moral standards and manners. One of the definitions of the word “civilized” is “polite and well-mannered”. You can’t be polite and well-mannered while waging war...

But don’t you remember that the rest of Europe intervened in the war to stop the Serbs from commiting more genocide? Most Europeans clearly didn’t agree with what the Serbs were doing, and NATO interfered in the war and the leaders of Serbia ended up at the Hague. That was not very different...
