You never said military alliance

Countries that asked Russia for military assistance include Syria and Niger that's just from the top of my head (there's a bunch of African countries IIRC, you can google it)

Saying I am dodging? What? deflectjunior :rofl: You thought BRICS was a security alliance.
Its a loosely aligned economic collective.

Even funnier you believe Russia is the senior partner of BRICS, Russia is Chinas bitch for eternity thanks to the invasion you somehow believe was necessary to prevent NATO expansion.

Side splitting stupidity, do go on comrade.

This is going to make some heads explode

U.S.-provided precision-guided munitions have failed in mission after mission in Ukraine, taken down by Russian electronic warfare. On Wednesday, the Pentagon revealed the latest casualty.


Quote
A new ground-launched version of an air-to-ground weapon developed for Ukraine on a rapid timeline failed to hit targets in part because of Russian electro-magnetic warfare, Bill LaPlante, the Pentagon's acquisition chief, said at an event held by think tank CSIS.


Quote
The weapon LaPlante is referring to is very likely the Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB) based on his description, according to Bryan Clark, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute.


How's that nice testing ground treating you :rolleyes:

Every few hundred pages of this thread I feel obligated to return to the fundamental point we started with 10 years ago
How can anyone argue that the Maidan was legitimate? That the post-revolutionary regime is anything but a minority of foreign-backed usurpers who overthrew a lawful and legitimately elected and representative democracy, putting in place a puppet regime?

Ukraine had its fraught elections before Yanukovych, but the 2010 elections were recognized by east and west as legitimate, recognized by NATO and Russia and the EU and every other country, no matter Tymoshenko's sore loss. The Donbas is more populous and the majority of Ukrainians opposed a pro-EU future in favor of the RU-leaning path. The people voted and had their own representative self-determination. And that was overthrown by force, a bitter minority who refused to accept Yanukovych's continued administration rioted and revolted, committing a coup d'etat. A democracy was replaced by an autocracy, there were massacres of the opposition like in Odessa, a civil war erupted, the most popular and lawfully ruling party was banned and those that opposed the US/EU backed revolutionary regime were violently suppressed by actual Nazi death squads like it was 1939 all over again.

Its the simple fact, a democracy either is, or isn't. If the people are ruled by their elected representatives, you have a democracy. If they are ruled by a man with a gun who has put himself in charge without the people's consent, it isn't.

Agree with the above just gonna add that Zelensky's five-year presidential term expires on May 20, 2024

No democratic elections and most opposition parties banned anyways, autocracy confirmed

Yet he enjoys unconditional support from the West, funny how that works

No one cares lmao. Things like 'rules based order' is just a mechanic to maintain our supremacy. We decide what the truth is and then the media peddles it, not only in the US but largely across the globe. Even our democracy is largely looking like a sham, there's so much gatekeeping and lack of accountability. I'm surprised someone like Trump was able to somehow make it through and in many ways is one of the main reasons why the machine has treated him like a foreign virus since 2016 with non-stop assault at preventing him to come to power again. He's certainly the exception, the rule IMO is you conform or you get spit out.
