Russia can consider whatever the hell it wants a threat to its national security, the only time the USA ever invaded Russia was by sending the US Expeditionary Force through Siberia and that was during the time of World War One, so it would be even easier today. Eastern European nations were the...

After this showing, I think Turkey could probably solo Russia. Might be a Russian false flag. Wouldn't put anything past them.

Pushed Ukraine into what situation? Getting invaded?

See, this is why I find Russian reports to be regularly unreliable. They will literally post some stuff with zero context and no way to discern who, what and where and claim it's evil Ukrainian Nazis shooting their own countrymen.

It's possible for some but there was a video of a Ukrainian soldier interrogating a Russian one and when the Russian soldier tried to feed him that line, the Ukrainian one dismissed as nonsense that he's heard before during the 2014 invasion. So it might be a prepackaged line fed to them by...

By the way, who's guarding the Russian border with China?

This...is gonna get ugly. Russia has threatened nuclear strikes over this before.

I'm still not sure who to believe here but the Ukrainians are putting up a hell of a fight. One thing for sure, this war seems to be shattering Russia's aura of invincibility. I mean they still have nukes, the great deterrent, but if they can't even decisively steamroll Ukraine, this bodes bad...

Is anyone paying attention to Taiwan? There's a weirdly large build-up of Chinese ships in the area.

Anyone else find it amusing how the international media always make sure to say that "this is all Putin's fault but Russians are totally innocent and they hate all of this violence and bloodshed"? I keep seeing it everywhere on the news, how "great Russia" is being led astray by the "evil Putin"...

Um, no offense but have you actually looked at the current battlefield projections? There is a lot of misinformation but it's fairly clear that: a) Russia's offensive from the east got beaten back with zero gains. b) At Kharkiv, they got stopped. c) Moving towards Kyiv from Belarus, they got...

I've seen this video before and it was said to be Russian soldiers killed by Ukrainian forces.

Why is everyone giving up on Ukraine already? Look at the conflict map, Ukrainians are actually doing fairly well in holding them back. Russia is shelling everything but it still doesn't seem to be enough, so they are preparing for another round of heavy bombing to try and soften up the...

I don't think the agreement means much. We have signed "agreements for cooperation" with Russia before. My best guess is that Aliyev agreed to sell Russian oil through Azerbaijan, thus allowing Russia to bypass some of the sanctions and possibly also agreed to not permitting NATO bases on...

Look, I'm not gonna get into this whole shitflinging contest of Russia Bad vs. Russia Good but you are incorrect about several point: 1) Access point means nothing if the Black Sea becomes Russia's plaything. At that point, Turkey either bows to pressure or gets ready to fight for everything...

Germany is hardly Turkey's best friend. The Turkish-German alliance of the 19th century was basically an attempt to soft colonize the Ottoman Empire and make it a part of the German Empire, even the agreements on military and economic cooperation were signed with the caveat that the Ottomans...

Iran started in the 90s with stuff from Russia, officially opened their space agency in 2004 and made their first launch in 2008/2009. Turkey only really started, what, a year or two ago? That's a pretty good track record. A work-in-progress website for a space agency isn't the...

Why are you guys creaming your pants over some fancy lights displays? We're talking about the UAE. Those guys have so much money to throw around that they could do shows like this every day for a whole year and barely make a dent in their profits. :LOL:

Huh? Iran literally shut down their space program due to funding cuts.

Ukraine has those too. It's going to end up a game of "who can disable the other guy's artillery first" since the Pion is designed to be mobile enough to avoid quick counter-battery fire.
