“Divide et impera” is from the Roman times. Nothing new about this.

Not only Armenia, but also China! So much with Putin’s eternal friendship with Xi.

So you think 3-5 million people left to starve to death while the food they produced was being exported was an “improvement”? This is how it looks from the outside? Genocide is an improvement?

We can only hope that they will succeed.

You summed it up pretty well.

They simply can’t do better than that. At least the whole world will finally see who they really are, because their massacres during WW2 and the communist times have not been publicized since they won the war.

I don’t think the WSJ would have published that leaked document if it ws actually true. The way I read it, the leak is about emboldening Russia to use their jets over Ukraine, in order to down some Russian jets.

The problem is that this casualty ratio was achieved when Russia had much more firepower than Ukraine, and at the cost of lots of tanks, artillery pieces and ammunition. Russia had a huge fire rate of artillery shells that it cannot sustain long term, and they still managed to lose more men than...

Poland and the Baltic states have been Ukraine’s greatest allies.

I think the West has chosen a slower approach where equipment flows in small steps and gets adjusted based on the battlefield results. NATO doesn’t want to make Ukraine‘s army stronger than most NATO countries. I think they will be helped to recover the lost territory, but with smaller steps...

I don’t think Rafales are in the cards. If Ukraine gets any French planes, it will get the Mirage 2000.

They should just use Bitcoin for trade, instead of using the US dollar. No more sanctions, no more forced kyk, blocked accounts or blocked transactions. It’s senseless to try to make new arrangements to trade in very weak local currencies that nobody trusts, instead of moving directly to the...

The big difference is that the Ukrainian government is a natural one supported by the people of Ukraine, while the Afghan and Vietnamese governments were artificial ones with very little local support. There’s a huge difference between the two. The heavy task of changing the natural government...

Again, you are comparing two very different wars that have nothing in common. In Afghanistan, the US went without local allies to topple a regime and impose a friendly one (something very similar to what Russia tried initially in Ukraine). The US had to create a friendly Afghan regime from...

In both Viet Nam and Middle East, the US had boots on the ground. This means dead American soldiers, coffins flying back home. This is something the population doesn’t like and can turn against pretty quick. In Ukraine, there are no American troops doing the fighting, so the main problem from a...

Interesting one:

We in Europe all hope you will be successful and defeat the Moscovite empire. We will help you as much as we can.

There are still lots of weapons that Ukraine is aksing for and the West is not providing. They still didn’t get the ATACMS, fighter jets or cruise missiles. If you think Russian oligarchs would accept the lifestyle of North Koreans, you are mistaken. If Putin can’t deliver enough wealth for his...

You’re hilarious. I’ve heard Ukrainian military bloggers who say they would like Russia to use a tactical nuke, because it would have very little effect on the battlefield but it will force the West to give more advanced weapons to Ukraine. It’s basically what the Ukrainians want.

Russia using some low yield nukes in Ukraine is NATO’s wet dream. Such a reckless action would give them cover to offer any kind of offensive weapons to Ukraine, except for nukes, as the Russians would have escalated to a level that would make sending F16s or ATACMS a joke. Also, this would...
