Just for the information (and enlightenment) of our American 'friends' on this forum. Chart one is the key point BTW....
I didn't say cell phones did I? As for the pentagon claim I never mentioned it. I do wonder why Russia is increasing its consumption of Kmart tech...
No, its geo-located photographic evidence of destroyed Russian equipment Bill taken by photographers on the ground and corroborated wherever...
Who mentioned Zelenskyy "Bill', not me. I just referred to visually confirmed Russian equipment losses and estimates of it's capacity to replace...
I read the stats somewhere in a usually reliable source on US defense policies, programs and economics. I'll try to dig it up if you request it....
He will if the West simply shrugs and retreats every time he initiates 'direct action' somewhere along it's eastern frontier! Let's be clear...
Well if nothing else it's going to be an interesting test of Trump's authority over the GOP at State level. It's going to be an arm wrestle...
Yet they are struggling to meet recruitment levels even during a period when they suffer from 20% plus youth unemployment. In reality? Very few...
Perhaps, perhaps not. I'll have to ask an army logistics/procurement expert of my acquaint for a breakdown. The fact remains however that any...
The points you raise relate to the overall size of the US Defense budget not the (small) proportion spent on arming Ukraine. Not arming Ukraine...
I 'think' that so far there's no evidence China will invade Taiwan this year and probably not even next year. I 'think' any attempt to do so will...
Only a handful of Abrams and there are more than 3000 in reserve. Stingers and Javelins? True, they are the other key items (apart from 155...
Quickly, (because I have some stuff to do if but I can? I'll try to get back later in more detail. That said. I have always referenced systems...
Firstly, all the sources I've checked including Ukrainian ones report the increased presence of Chinese made equipment on the battlefield but not...
No. I just reviewed the economic statistics (which don't lie). And you haven't answered the question. When are you enlisting?
Really? That will be news to them. Why don't you write to someone and tell them that the US and the EU are 'dying". (Compared to Russia of course...
FYI I was a (reserve) gunner back in the day. That said (in response to both of your last two posts) yes, all of those truisms have value. But!...
Waaay to much to deal with right now. Except to say your taking a Chinese invasion of Taiwan as a given without providing any evidence to support...
I can only repeat the points I made earlier. The build up, if not the 'go' order for an invasion would be detected long before it happens. Xi has...
I agree but they are learning by doing. Its just that the 'lesson's cost them most of their elite troops and two thirds (or more) of their most...
They can still conscript more, for a while. But if this war does continue into 2026 (which I doubt)? The Russian army won't be in much better...
I have to disagree with that first part (and have in the past). As I have stated int he past any war with China over say Taiwan will be an air and...
Because its a concern for the rest of NATO. That's how alliances like are supposed to work. Something that is very important to your allies is...
No problem.Russia has more 'heavy' weapons you say? NATO will just have to get by with having more 'smart' weapons I guess. Oh and more money of...
Claiming part of another sovereign nations territory is yours and occupying by force it doesn't mean you get to whine about how 'unfair it all is'...
