And to add to my previous reply, here is a comparison between US military aid and German military aid: Military Commitments Jan. 24, 2022 to Jan. 15, 2024: USA: 42.2 billion, compared to 849 billion defense budget. This means in two years they sent 5% of their yearly defense budget. Germany...

Of course a country like the US will donate more than Estonia or Latvia and it is more important as an ally. But adjusting aid to GDP is what shows the actual effort of the helping country. In this case, the US is far from the top of the list. Even more than that, considering the fact that the...

I’m not saying this is not necessary, I’m just pointing out the obvious double counting of the US aid. They count it once when they procure it for their military, and count it again when they donate it to Ukraine. So if the US pays 1 billion to buy artillery shells to replenish their own...

This is how the US always presents its aid, to look more than double than it truly is. This is why they seem to be the biggest aid contributor to Ukraine, despite the fact that European countries have contributed much more. The US is more about marketing than about doing the right thing.

That’s why Ukraine needs more long range capabilities. This is why it is criminal what the US is doing by not giving them the weapons they need. It took so much time to give them a few ATCAMS, despite the fact that they are so useful. The US should provide much more long range weapons to...

It’s interesting that whenever Netanyahu is cornered in domestic politics and people want him to step down, Iran gives him a helping hand by doing a senseless attack on Israel, first via Hamas, and now directly. It’s almost as if Netanyahu and Iran’s leadership are best buddies.

My country doesn’t want any territory from Ukraine. We are happy to live within our borders, and we want good relations with our neighbors. Only Russia and Hungary are still dreaming about their old empires. Don’t put Poland and Romania in the same group, as we are much more civilized than that.

What Russia is doing in Mariupol and other occupied territories in the South and East of Ukraine cannot ba replicated in the rest of Ukraine, because the population is very different. In Mariupol, a lot of the local population was pro-Russia, so they can be trained and enlisted to fight for...

Of course the US has much more capabilities than Germany and could help in so many ways. The problem is the US doesn’t care at all about Ukraine (unfortunatelly Scholtz doesn’t care too), and they are more concerned about not upsetting their “partners”, the Russians. Their main concern now is...

The US continues to show its true colors, as Lloyd Austin criticizes Ukrainian strikes on Russia refineries. No wonder the whole world hates the US. No matter if you are their ally or their enemy, they’re still scum. “Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned that Ukraine’s recent attacks on...

Unfortunately it is not you who decides what NATO would do in such a situation, so your assurance means nothing. And if the US is led by Trump or someone like him, anything is possible. The fact that Poland and the Baltic states are desperate to arm themselves and increase the size of their...

Your answer shows a lack of understanding of geopolitics and history. If you think a country like Estonia is 100% safe just because it is part of NATO, you are gravely mistaken. If Russia succeeds in defeating Ukraine (despite the help it receives from NATO members), Putin will smell weakness...

That’s because you think Putin is too far to cause you any harm. Your country sits well beween peaceful EU nations, and you take your freedom for granted. I bet you wouldn’t feel the same if your country had borders with Russia, Belarus or Ukraine and you new your country could be next in line...

Can you publish the summary for the last period since the last summary? The totals for a longer period (like two weeks) are more relevant and show how the overall losses add up, and we can make an idea at the comparative loss rate of each side.

Don’t take the lies of a leftist politician as the truth. There is no 8.2% tax on billionaires in the US. The tax rate is based on income, income type and has deductions. This is why at the end of the year people end up paying different tax rates based on their individual circumstances and...

This is indeed great news. European countries should immediately secure those shells, as the price per unit is much cheaper than whatever is produced in Europe. All the old artillery shells that stay in deposits around the world should be bought and fired on Russian positions. There is really...

Russia destroys everything it touches. Apparently, there is no amount of natural resources that would make Russians afford indoor plumbing.

Ukrainians will never accept a Russian puppet as their head of state anymore, after what the Russians did to them. Russia needs to understand that Ukraine is gone forever. The maximum that they can keep is the Russian dominated Eastern part, if they manage to win the war, but there is a big...

That land could be conquered back without any nuclear war. Ukraine recaptured swathes of land (including Kherson, the capital city of a now “Russian” province) without triggering any nuclear war. If last year’s counteroffensive had been more successful, it could have recovered even more land...

They assume that role, but many of the other Orthodox people didn’t recognize them as such. Orthodox churches in other countries have never been subordinate to the Russian church. Only the Greek Orthodox church is seen as somehow more important, while since the Communist times the Russian...
