And he added: “Many (political figures) said just two years ago that they would never deliver tanks, planes, long-range missiles.” Apparently, Macron intends to seriously work on convincing his comrades in the anti-Russian coalition to take part in the conflict by directly sending troops.
As French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal explained , “Emmanuel Macron said that we will continue to support Kiev... Nothing can be ruled out in war. They once said that we would not send weapons, only what was necessary for defense. Now we are talking about the supply of long-range missiles... Nothing can be ruled out in the future.”
So how long before tactical nuclear weapons or bio or chemical weapons are supplied to Kiev?
From a certain interaction I learned that in Japan there is the belief that Russia is claiming more than just the four Kuril islands that Japan is
disputing. I have never heard of Russia claiming parts or all of Hokkaido.
But it fits in with western BS propaganda... you hear the most anti Russian European countries claim the west has to support Kiev because once Russia has finished with Ukraine it is coming for the EU next... these people are deluded... and it is a bit stupid anyway... many sensible Europeans might prefer Putin to be their president than the leaders they have in their own countries and in Brussels and their real leaders in Washington and of course huge mansions around the world.
Japan decided to call a "time out" after their asses were kicked at Khalkin Gol. But that is not how war is "played". There are no time outs.
Japan took a lot of land before WWII by force and by right of force tried to keep it.
When provoked and under an agreement with the US the Soviet Union was obliged to join the war against Japan because the US was afraid that when the war in Europe ended they would be left alone to fight it out with Japan. What if the planes with the nuclear bombs got shot down, or the bombs didn't work... they could be fighting Japan for the next 10 years... so they concluded an agreement with Stalin that x number of days after the end of the war in Europe that Stalin would open a second front in Asia against Japan... which they did.
A chance for the Soviets to recover a lot of territory lost to Japan in the previous conflict in the region, not to mention Japanese forces in Soviet territory during the Soviet revolution.
From my point of view it is nothing bad at all if the USSR occupy northern Japan and established a, for example, People's Republic of Ainu in Hokkaido.
At least the Ainu people may not lost their native mother tounge like what has been happening.
You tell your friends that it is strange they fear Russian rule when they seem to accept US rule so easily...
