I'll try get to some of this later in more depth I think is warranted. In mean time, what does @T-123456 think about moving this thread to the taiwan section to give that section a post boost etc...

In the end (if Putin retains his grip on power mid term to long term)....it will be useful case study to see some realised specifics on where China has actually caught up to West where it matters deep down + networking of such. Judging by the continued IP transfer numbers (that few still look...

Ukraine also needed a potent BM capability to take out rail logistics of the enemy. Russia is extremely dependent on them even to last tier delivery. Its actually always been this way...WW2 is a massive case study for it.

Send SEAD specific drones first. Next formation after it carries the munitions. This should have been what NATO helped Ukraine well BEFORE the war started. It could very likely have deterred the war from happening.

You are thinking real big picture....good lad. People often also dont account for how long it will take (and investment it will take) to get deep siberian pipelines built from Russia to China. Right now iirc, only eastern siberia has some pipelines to China. Whereas majority of oil and gas...

Yup if NATO wanted to get involved like that, it would already have done so. It is at its high water point right now as to what/how it will support Ukraine (that too after waiting to see if Russia actually would invade....rather than heavy deterrence buildup assistance before it). Land buffers...

Wanna unpack why this is?

I love both cats and dogs.... they are very different temparement of friendship.....that is why I suppose there are some strong opinions on which one you prefer (or simply accommodate for both), since us humans are very diverse too in our character. Earlier last year, my friend found this very...

I broadly agree and might get to some finer points a bit later. I am something of a sinophile....having spent much of my childhood in HK.....but I am very against the CCP overall ... as one might imagine....heh....though you cannot understand China these days without observing and learning...

Been getting into beekeeping myself lately.....observing and helping out a friend (who is far more experienced on it).... wonderful little hobby. It is even fairly simple to protect his bees over the harsh Canadian winter. I plan to start my own hive soon.

As always, I am hoping you stay safe as can be friend. Please convey our wishes to all Ukrainians around you too...

Earlier bit of convo I had with you @crixus

Didn't want to make it Off topic there....but it reminded me of why PRC has to pay carrie lam in hard cash (suitcase delivery monthly iirc) i.e Even PRC state owned banks will not operate bank account for her...she has come under a severe sanction (since the crackdown on HK) and they simply...

This dude is back after a long hiatus his stuff is real therapeutic to watch for me....

There is essentially a pretty bad CnC ladder in Russia....i.e how information, feedback flows from the operational side up the ladder.... to help correct + balance what the top-down process wants to do/achieve. Stuff that should be done in peacetime (over long periods of time, developing the...
