I am not denying the fact that Ukraine has a manpower problem, and needs more personnel. What bothers me is the way this guy expressed himself, insinuating that the West is all-in but Ukraine is not, which cannot be further from the truth. Ukraine’s effort is much bigger than the West’s effort...

Your love for terrorists is disgusting. The death and suffering of the Palestinian people is because of what Hamas did, and yet you praise these terrorists as some great heroes. Tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians have died because of Hamas, and the rest live in poverty and have lost...

This is because they fail to understand how much different the situation is now, than during the times they fougt their last war using drafted people. The last time Americans used mobilized soldiers was in Vietnam, and guess how that war ended? They lost because the people were no longer...

What a disgusting scum this guy is. In his hypocrisy, he considers the West giving some excess weapons to Ukraine as being “all-in”, and this to be the equivalent of calling up all young males to die at the frontline. If he wants Ukraine to be “all-in”, what about the West joining the war with...

I have seen the video of the meeting, and even I, as a European, I feel that the German minister was the unprofessional character. She was dressed as if she was going to the minimarket to buy some groceries, despite the fact that all the other people there were dressed like state officials...

Just like with the Malaysia Airlines plane over Donbass, the Russian air defence is expert at downing civilian planes.

After the US defeated Saddam, it turned out that the big victor in Iraq was Iran. The US seems to have learned from that mistake, and instead of overthrowing Assad themselves, they waited in the shadows ready to defend their inteests through a proxy group and win the aftermath. I think that...

I‘d say this depends greatly of which aviation we’re talking about. If a country like the US or Israel uses its aviation, the effectiveness of air defence will be zero. But for most countries which have average aviation capabilities, air defence does play a role. The fact that Russia couldn’t...

Well, those who support Gaza and the Palestinians in the West are the hard left people, so it is natural for them to also support the Marxists/Communists from PKK. They support all Marxists everywhere, and they oppose what they call “imperialism”. In their world view, Israel and Turkey are both...

Why is everyone so obsessed with AD systems? Unless you are part of NATO or Israel, investing in AD systems is a huge waste of money and resources. If you are attacked by the US or Israel, your AD systems will get annihilated quickly without being able to defend a single target. In the case of...

Any other source? That tweet is already deleted.

Ukraine will never sign away NATO entry. They won’t join NATO anytime soon, but the writing is on the wall that it will happen in the future. All it needs is a US president with balls and brains, and Putin or his successor will have to accept the inevitable. Putin couldn’t do anything about...

Russian incompetence is polluting the Black Sea: Readovka media outlet reported: “According to preliminary data, a hole was formed in the hull due to strong waves, after which the ship broke in half and began to sink.” One unconfirmed report stated: “Volgoneft-212 was built 55 years ago. It...

Putin will have no choice in this case. Ukraine will be aligned with NATO whether he likes it or not. Ukraine has decided to align with the West, and there is no turning back after this war. Putin lost Ukraine for good. What will be decided is just where the borders between Ukraine and Russia...

Allowing Russia to keep the two military bases would be a huge mistake for the new Syrian government that would have dire long term consequences for the country. If Syria wants to have a chance at a better future, it must force the Russians to leave and build good ties with Israel. This is the...

This is obviously not true. By using meat wave tactics with poorly equipped soldiers, the Russians are losing men at a much higher rate than the Ukrainians. Ukraine is playing a defensive game where it inflicts a lot of damage with minimal losses on its side. They trade territory for a much...

It’s simple mathematics. If they lose 50 men to capture one sqkm, and Ukraine has 500k sqkm under its control, they would need to lose 25 million men to capture it all at the current pace. I was just proving to you how ineffective the Russians are fighting right now, and how unsustainable it is...

Yes, but that article also shows how ineffective they are while wasting so many lives, which means the Ukrainians are still mounting a very effective defence. ISW said that Russia lost more than 50 men for every square kilometer of captured territory. Ukraine had 600k sqkm pre-war, so they...

I hope Turkey will not make the mistake to help Russia retain its Syrian bases. The opportunity to kick Russia out of the Mediterranean must be supported by all regional powers, including Turkey, Israel and the EU. This is a huge opportunity that should not be missed. Russia needs to be taken...

Hmm, you have a very strange way of evaluating the Ukrainians as “no longer able to put up much of a fight”. In the meantime, here are some of the estimated numbers from the battlefield: “Britain's defence ministry says that in November Russia suffered 45,680 casualties, more than during any...
