Brought a smile to my face just now hehe:

Current mariupol situation yesterday approximately:

At the political extremes, they start to resemble each other on far-left and far-right....give me the power, trust no one else, extreme identity politics etc. It is more a horseshoe than a linear line. (Though IMO, its more complicated than even that, but still that is illustrative enough its...

Yes the evidence is showing up in lot of areas increasingly of this phenomenon that is baked in. They’re running out of trained crews, concluding their enlisted men know nothing, and are now pissing away officers with valuable skills in other areas because they might be able to think and make...

Couple German buddies both forwarded this to me earlier: A 96 year old Ukrainian concentration camp survivor recently was part of Buchenwald camp liberation anniversary: (Sorry only German news links available)...

Of course. Bajwa asking Russia to withdraw from Ukraine etc, has not gone unnoticed by China. But the Chinese have always factored this in, if you look closely at how they have layered CPEC to begin with. It is high on symbolism more than anything truly grounded (in the economic model proven...

There will be a readjustment period, but I don' think the PRC loses that much at all. It was Sharif clan et al (again under fauj diktat just like now) that the Chinese started CPEC with to begin it (IK at that time was criticiing it fairly heavily till he came to power with fauj help and fauj...

A Ukrainian tanker recounting an engagement with Russian tanks and IFVs. Rather interesting....

If this is true, the only thing thats delivering is fucken tetanus to its handlers.

====================== It reminded me of stories of Nazi thugs beating up jewish ww1 veterans. I forget which were documented, and which were anecdotal....it was all so long ago I read them deeply. One produced his WW1 iron cross in one account, and the Nazi thugs left him alone after having...

AFAIK, generally all these countries are saying "need to resolve NATO internal commitment first" to pass the buck there etc...while they are more flexible in provision of immediate tactical weaponry etc. So it didn't matter which country UKR approached first for NATO (retired IFV, tank etc)...

Hope Macron wins, world can use continued stability from French realm. Le Pen will be shaking things up way too much on that....at time that world is going through lot of problems more than usual.

Simply the largest amounts of a reliable enough platform nearby to the war theatre. Ukraine and allies have to keep doing their best to get Germany to commit a significant % of these now....it is best to fight this war here and now rather than somewhere else later.

I will be returning to the thread soon. In the time being: The towed oldies:

Interested members can use this thread to air out their thoughts w.r.t the unfolded/unfolding political situation in our neighbour Pakistan: https://www.news18.com/news/world/imran-khan-has-been-bowled-out-of-pakistans-political-pitch-but-what-does-it-mean-for-india-4959659.html Please be...
