    Unlike EU that is hoping that Russia can be defeated, the US seems to be quite satisfied with the current status quo - which is to keep Russia bogged down in Ukraine as they ratchet up their partnership with China.

    The EU and Ukraine are the two biggest losers here and the US and China are the two biggest gainers.

    Blackman wrote " The US has wanted and talked about attacking Iran since 2004. And hasn't. And even allowed Iran to shoot at a US base in Iraq. And Iran has no nukes. Russia has more nukes than all other countries combined. Attack Russia ? No problem. Take Crimea for Nato ? No problem. They are working on it as we speak . " The USA waits for an opportune moment to attack weak ( relatively speaking ) unfriendly nations , not in their sphere of influence , for regime change ! Biden even said recently " ..we should free the Iranian nation ! " This was at the height of the Mahsa Amini protests . When the country was in turmoil . But if Iran had Nukes , then he dare not have " freed" Iranians by democracy bombs , even during a turmoil . And they have attacked Iran since 2004 , by sanctions and sabotage many times , even stealing oil Tankers on the open Sea ! What has stopped them from full scale war , is first the unity of Iranians to defend country , and second the closeness to oil fields in ME . All the oil will go up in smoke , and Europe and China will collapse . In case of Russia , even if there is turmoil or collapse of central government , the USA will dare not attack it , not so much because of Russian oil , since that will be going to China , and is a less serious threat to European / American capital investment there . But because they will be Nuked ! So highly unlikely that USA will ever attack Russia . For now Russian oil , keeps China close , even if USA tries to put pressure . Iran needs Nukes to ensure there is no invasion . Everyone needs Nukes , not just the few .

    Russia and India, not China.

    China is the biggest ally of US and UK. Kissinger's recent meeting with Xi, Chalie Munger's recent outburst against India and support for China are clear indications of who the west considers to be their ally.

    China is US/UK ally ?ekhm, there is no love in the world of geopolitics. Kissinger is an old fart short before dying. His sponsors probably want to have china set against India or Russia but there are no 2 first places in the world...Welcome to the multipolar world Smile

    That's a pretty radical take Sujoy

    Kissinger only went to China in the hopes of a deal to divide Russia between them. But why would China want that. They already have their pick of Russian resources and in Russia a valuable battering ram against the West. They gave their old lizard friend a courteous reception, listened him out and bid him on his way

    In reality, the US's main target is exactly who they say it is - China.
    And they're busy kissing Modi's ass and whispering temptations into his ear in the hopes of turning the two Asian giants against each other while they relax same as what they accomplished with the Sino-Soviet split.
    Not to say India doesn't have legitimate gripes with China and China isn't acting retarded. Because they do and it is. But none of this will benefit either side in the long run

    China released its latest map last week where it shows Russia's Bolshoy Ussuriysky region as part of Chinese territory. They generally do this with their foes like India, Taiwan.

    They don't need to. As I've mentioned on this forum in the past as well...Modi is a CIA agent.

    Yet in 2020, the US got China to invade India and not the other way round.

    Apparently, his cousin is a member of SBU in Kharkov.

    https://t.me/rybar/51502

    Yesterday, the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine has somewhat clarified the situation with the Russian Mi-8 helicopter that went missing in August, by posting new footage of the aircraft and an interview with one of the pilots.  In the video, he claims that he was recruited by the Ukrainian special services and escaped.

    ▪The appearance of these materials is already a more serious argument in favor of the fact that it was precisely a planned action, and not a forced landing on enemy territory.  The fate of the other two crew members remains unknown: this suggests that they were either killed, or they knew nothing about what was happening and were captured.

    ▪In statements, the GUR claimed that before that they managed to “secretly withdraw” from Russia the relatives of the pilot shown in the interview.  But he didn’t have a family: he didn’t have a wife and children, his grandfather died, and there was no father at all.  Of his close relatives, he has only his mother, who, according to some reports, does not live in Russia, so “evacuating” her would not have been difficult.

    ▪ From a technical point of view, the Mi-8 is of no particular interest to the Armed Forces of Ukraine - the aircraft is not much different from the US-supplied "Afghan" Mi-17V-5.  They will not be able to decipher the codes of the “friend or foe” equipment (if they have not been erased at all), and it is hardly possible to find anything new against the background of the Ka-52 inherited from Gostomel by the Americans in the spring of 2022.

    As for the person involved in the interview, if no new facts appear that refute his work for the GUR and prove that he made all the statements under pressure, then he can be considered a defector and a traitor.

    Well, what they do with such - does not need a separate comment.

    And there will be more valuable uses for that metal than a new cathedral I trust

    But it cost a lot of our own money to scrap and breakdown that material, not to mention the lives lost in the process. Junk all the same.

    The problem with India is how they treat foreign companies, they have 4 massive conglomerates, the biggest being the Tata group, if one of the conglomerates want to buy the business and the business refuses to sell like Wistron did when Tata tried to buy them, Tata paid off the workers to go on strike, vandalise the factory and set parts of it on fire (Wistron is a partner of Foxconn) eventually Wistron agreed to sell it's Indian business to Tata and pulled out of India, Tata then targeted Foxconn and the same things happened at the Foxconn factory, but instead of selling to Tata, Foxconn pulled out of India all together, Tata wanted a piece of the "Apple" pie in it's Indian operations without there main supplier Foxconn, Apple is supposedly quitting India citing productivity issues, this year alone more than 1200 businesses have left India, citing corruption and fines by the Indian government crippling there operations, take Xiaomi as a prime example India claimed that Xiaomi was falsifying there figures and India fined Xiaomi more than 10 years worth of profits, Xiaomi has been hit with several big fines from the Indian government and they ware not alone, India is a potentially huge market, but it's very corrupt, in the 10 years of operating in India Xiaomi has made a big loss due to the fines

    The efforts of the British MoD to protect their muhInvinCible Challenger II have long gotten to the point where this farcical episode will do more damage to the tank's reputation, than whatever footage of it actually being wrecked

    First of all, customers will note the lack of confidence of its own manufacturers in the machine. Secondly, who the hell will want it if its going to come with 1001 restrictions related to how it can be used?

    Will be a sore blow to many if true. Heard about the article touting the "sniper" qualities of the chally.

    I also heard of a new variant being developed. Touting the specifications listed below:

    Dorchester mark 5 armor made of ununpentium carbide sheets orthogonally stacked with stabilized electron degenerate matter. The new rifled 155mm tank cannon can yeet an unbelievably long 300mm fin discarded sabot shot at an approximate speed of 1300 m/s. Also accompanied by quantum hesh rounds which cause a temporal shift in spacetime which causes spalling to even the most advanced armors. The engine is brand new and puts out an unheard of 1500 horsepower. Truly the deadliest tank of our times. And yeah it boils water too.

    I also heard of a new variant being developed. Touting the specifications listed below:

    Dorchester mark 5 armor made of ununpentium carbide sheets orthogonally stacked with stabilized electron degenerate matter. The new rifled 155mm tank cannon can yeet an unbelievably long 300mm fin discarded sabot shot at an approximate speed of 1300 m/s. Also accompanied by quantum hesh rounds which cause a temporal shift in spacetime which causes spalling to even the most advanced armors. The engine is brand new and puts out an unheard of 1500 horsepower. Truly the deadliest tank of our times. And yeah it boils water too.

    The funny part is, that western shitstream is really not so far from the irony you have just placed.
    Reading about how triumphant they made a U turn, replacing the gun used to be a commercial bogus with a standard NATO one was hilarious. Or knowing that in the middle of the third decade of XXI century, they finally put a laser warning system on the tank, stepping proudly into 7 decade of XX century Laughing

    British-made tanks are about to sweep Putin’s conscripts aside


    As a former tank commander, I know the Challenger 2 vastly outmatches what’s left of Russia’s armour
    s a former tank commander, I can say one thing for certain: Putin’s demoralised conscripts are utterly unprepared for the shock action now hitting their lines. Ukrainian armoured formations are beginning to meet Russian forces in battle, and they are going to pulverise Russia’s defensive lines. I am confident for one simple reason: Ukraine will follow the Western ideology of manoeuvre warfare in a combined arms context, while the Russians will follow Soviet doctrine, relying on attrition and numbers. The Russians will find that the armour of Western tanks is far more resilient than flesh and bone, they will die in great numbers, and they will lose.

    We can laugh all day long, yet it isn't funny.
    It is all part of the same shit.
    I have watched some podcasts where they have cited some studies made in the US, and it turns out that there is some recognizable number of people ... believing in that idiotic crap.
    Imagine, that we face a generation (?) of people rised&breed on this fukin' phantasies ad attacked with this so heavily that consider it a true. They really believe in supa dupa black hidden civilization in Africa Shocked
    There is not a single doubt that it is a targeted mission, and the people who are being told about heroic Ukro victories are sitting in the same boat.
    They will create a non existing and dump people into that.
    This "ex officer" is not that stupid.
    Not a single officer I know believes in that crap. Sure they must comment this or other way as it is politics, yet none of them is stupid enough to believe in it.
    It is addressed to the common people, and most of them are defenseless against the mass and heavy propaganda.
    Today a friend of mine said that "one Challenger means nothing". Sure it does not, but it is only one revealed, and still represents 7% of the whole stock they have been given.
    People lack perspective, or the perspective presented to them is spoiled.
