Ukrainians seem to be losing taste for this. Big shock they don't want to be American puppets. When your vets aren't interested in returning to the fight to 'defend the homeland' you are in trouble.

Reni, a Ukrainian city that sits right on the border with Romania on Danube river was attacked with drones last night. Romanians captured a video of it. Pretty incredible, seems Russia is hell bent on destroying Ukraines grain infrastructure.

China secretly sends enough gear to Russia to equip an army

“What is very clear is that China, for all its claims that it is a neutral actor, is in fact supporting Russia’s positions in this war,” said Helena Legarda, a lead analyst specializing in Chinese defense and foreign policy at the Mercator Institute for China Studies, a Berlin think tank.
Russia has imported more than $100 million-worth of drones from China so far this year — 30 times more than Ukraine. And Chinese exports of ceramics, a component used in body armor, increased by 69 percent to Russia to more than $225 million, while dropping by 61 percent to Ukraine to a mere $5 million, Chinese and Ukrainian customs data show.

Who is suprised ? Anyone supporting the piss plan ?

It's hardly a conspiracy theory that countries want to battle-test their weapons and proxy wars are a great way to do it. It's field testing It's analogous to internal testing vs releasing a game where the players find bugs that the developers can't find, etc.
It's really just of practical engineering.


Starting with U.S it became "countries" or whatever "central banks" (jesus)... Any war is a test, any interaction is a test.

You can know what you will lose but you can hardly be sure about what you will get next and further. IMHO: Reality is certainly much more complicated than simpleton conspiracy theories... Which are (surprisigly?) pushed by foreign hostile powers.

Thanks for posting this. I am viewing this the same way I view AI (chat/image etc), in that seeing is believing. technology is advancing so fast and science fiction is becoming reality. scary stuff.

When the goalsposts move from capturing Kiev in a matter of days to hoping that the Ukrainians just give up.
That's when you know Russia is a paper tiger.

Laughing stock :rofl:

I would add something on this: like posted earlier the concept of ESCALATION can be linked to mistakes done by leaders who overestimated themselves due their lack of advices/advisors or incompetence:
This is exactly what happened with Putin who failed tried to seize Kyiv, failed dramatically, and then let his army to make war crimes: he's totally esponsible for the ESCALATION.

a surprising statement coming from someone who previously subscribed to the "for eight years, ukraine has been shelling the shit out of its people for absolutely no reason, and russia simply intervened to protect them" lie that moscow favours...

when someone is able to post their position without referring to the opposing sides as pieces of shit or excrement, or pedo's, or w/e, I feel an acknowledgement is not hard to give, therefore I complemented him.

again with the hilarious and selective pearl clutching. you might want to revisit the "piece of shit" incident again though: YOU were the one who called ME a "piece of shit" without any provocation, lol: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=92094408&f=119&p=608081118

you're also chummy with someone who tells people to "guzzle cum" and other disgusting things. you only ever pretend to care about that stuff when you need an excuse to dodge people who call you out for being the a war apologist who uncritically buys into russian propaganda, never when guys like hamster, ampoo, djunior, and all the russian bot accounts flame people...

anyway, so you now acknowledge that ukraine hasn't been shelling donbas for shits and giggles, and that russian unmarked troops had been instigating a military conflict in order to create an excuse for an invasion, just like they have repeatedly done in the past?
