Yes this is the short-brief war (mostly punitive oriented) stuff. Expanding this to the scale and frequency needed (annually like reforger) for sustained wars remains to be seen...and the capacity to learn and implement (without upsetting ppl stuck in certain nodes all along it). There is a...

This starts to take the contours of a pyrrhic victory that the CCP really does not want (to show to its people). Why pyrrhic? Taiwan has layered (with help from US, Japan and Israel) its defense network concerning its military among its densely populated island. There is no delineation of...

Maybe folks should reach out to her to get in touch with Indian embassy in Ukraine, they are helping neighbouring countries as well in various capacities from what I seen in some news.

history doesnt repeat, but it certainly rhymes - Mark Twain The Odessa Opera house... ============================================== Hard pressed to say it any better than this gentleman just did....my respect to him and his country Kenya. @Joe Shearer

From a few hours earlier: Ukraine's Secretary of the Security Council announces that the elite squad of killers sent by Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov to kill Ukrainian President Zelenskyy on behalf of Putin have been eliminated.

My apologies if this is re-post: U.S. believes Russia has committed more than 80 percent of pre-staged troops into Ukraine: senior U.S. defense official. Russia has not been able to advance on Kyiv due to fuel & sustainment problems. "Not only are they running out of gas, they're running out...

According to Ukraine MOD:

Welcome to the forum! (despite the circumstances we meet under). Hope you are staying safe friend (if you are in Ukraine).

After getting off phone with UK friend in know just earlier, I can tell you that NATO is doing a lot of logistical analysis real time....on exactly what time and space ukraine should interdict certain convoys etc....and factoring for what ukraine has (and what will arrive for later and so is...

Yup....but typical mouthbreathing mob doesnt care and has now got their way on this. I was lookign forward to this being another example of good IND-TR relationship like with the HSL replenishment ship stuff. Sigh!

We can agree to disagree, its no biggie. You are telling me that money that goes to the tsar + boyars suddenly doesn't matter in the end if its non-military in original intent? Interesting. (you know how finance flows + diversions work in the end?) The west should surely apply that principle...

A very unfortunate thing that has played out in the end as it has....

Lets revisit all of this after we see how it goes with Russia this year....the dust needs to settle and we need to look at the larger situation that prevails in the world settings and levers. This is not small stuff.

Xi will wait and watch this year (especially since hands full on how these things now settle with Putin and West to take forward). Usual flexing on taiwan strait might increase a bit....but I really do not think they want or are even prepared for that war with Taiwan. It would be another...

Well they don't give us a whole lot to go upon since the 79 debacle with Vietnam. PRC has changed a lot since, but it has not done a huge mobilisation to study stress and strain....maybe it really does not want to find out too much about itself and keep that kind of thing as an unknown. It is...

Yep, very well said. It's not for nothing that my buds that are in the know stateside have told me US army seriously needs a decade or more to "unlearn" all the COIN bad habits it has picked up for the last couple (in AFG and IRQ)....to make it more a regular conventional army (to deal with...
