Did you even understand the post you quoted?????

Doubt it

no need abdulinov-XiSlave flaming.

I’m simply quoting your posts in this thread.

I’m still convinced you do not understand majority of things you post here, do not watch the videos or the links you post. You are only here to post hate and bigotry to elicit reactions from posters so you can report them.

Don’t like being quoted, don’t post here.

From a large variety of sources. My go-to for Russia/Ukraine are the online versions of the bigh German newspapers (both of record and otherwise), although I'm fully aware that German MSM has a pro-Ukraine slant. Zeit/Welt/Sueddeutsche/FAZ/Focus, but also other, smaller ones.


With regard to US politics, it's a mix between ABC News, CNN, NYTimes, 538 (in the past)/the nate silver blog (more recently), and of course the whole right-wing media environment (particularly RRHelections and HotAir).
Regarding wider world news, I also regularly read stuff from British media like Telegraph, Guardian and the BBC.


Contrary to popular belief here on PaRD, I am not a sheepish victim of "right-wing media" which "poisoned my mind" or anything like that - in fact, roughly half of the time that I spend on reading about politics and world events is on sites from the opposing side of the political/ideological spectrum.

You seem to keep up with a lot of global geopolitics, so was just curious.

Greece is preparing to sell 108 old fighter jets destined for decommissioning, with 32 F-16C/-D Block 30 aircraft likely to be transferred to Ukraine.

And natos running low on nitrocellulose (needed for arty shells) and guess who supplies over half? That's right, China!

Man, between how much drones change modern warfare and the critical overreliance on China for pretty much everything, the "authoritarian axis" could really have caught the West with its pants down - but they wasted the element of surprise on a relatively low stakes war in Ukraine.

This war provides is with invaluable intel on our weaknesses and gives us an opportunity to fix them.

And vice versa. That’s why drones are the new weapon of choice while big bulky hardware is more vulnerable than ever. I’ve said this a few times now, our big bulky navy is pretty vulnerable now, and the future of warfare is for sure not these huge billion dollar vessels. Sure we got good AA that can pick off these flying lawnmowers, just as we’re doing in Red Sea now but it’s really expensive and if an enemy would send a swarm of these, they could exhaust a ships defense.
