So Russia is losing to little Ukraine? I don't think even the Bundeswehr 'Broomstick Army' would have much to fear from this feckless bunch.
If you just look at the Western media, Ukraine has surrounded Moscow.So Russia is losing to little Ukraine? I don't think even the Bundeswehr 'Broomstick Army' would have much to fear from this feckless bunch.
Of all the different Muslims in the UK, from the pro-Western, England soccer team supporting ones, through to neutrals and the Jihadi types, I can't see any finding favour with his position. They see what China did with Uyghurs, they see what Russia did in Chechnya and in Crimea with the Tartars. And the Afghans remember that the Soviets used nerve agents and biological weapons on them.

US accuses Soviet Union of using chemical and biological weapons in Afghanistan
There is now emerging a convincing body of evidence - and important parts of it from independent sources - that the Soviets may have direct complicity in the deployment of biological and chemical weapons not only in Afghanistan but also in Kampuchea and Laos.www.indiatoday.in
Whatever the Russians are doing is not agreeable .
It will not be able to withdraw its ground troops, in 15 days it is the "raspoutitsa" thaw in Ukraine and there a large part of the South is impracticable. All the tanks will get bogged down!So Even if Russia Withdraws its Ground troops it will carry on
Air Strikes and Missile Strikes Just Like ISRAEL does EVERY YEAR on GAZA
Wartime[edit]
Rasputitsa seasons of Russia are well known as a great defensive advantage in wartime.[2][3] Common nicknames include General Mud and Marshal Mud. A spring thaw probably saved Novgorod from conquest and sacking during the 13th-century Mongol invasion.[4] During the French invasion of Russia in 1812, Napoleon found the mud a great hindrance.[2][3]
On the Eastern Front during the Second World War, the months-long muddy period slowed the German advance during the Battle of Moscow (October 1941 to January 1942) and may have helped save the Soviet capital from German occupation.[5] The advent of motorised warfare had the disadvantage that while tanks could operate effectively in summer or in winter, they proved less useful in spring and autumn,[6] when the functioning of an efficient railway system came into its own.[7]
Prior to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, some analysts identified the logistical challenges of the mud season as a likely hindrance to any large-scale invasion in spring.[8] When Russia did cross the border, many of its mobile units found themselves stranded in fields and limited to major roads, where resistance and logistical issues significantly slowed the advance towards Kyiv.
What are you talking about? Taiwan for the US will be a Naval and air defense conflict with 2-3 Carriers with two of them carrying F-35C's. USAF will have Okinawa which is 390 miles from Taipei and don't say China will hit Okinawa because that is an escalation which will bring strikes on China itself and it will be devastating. Besides Okinawa will have PAC-3 and THAAD for protection and US ISR will detect whether chicoms decide to strike Okinawa. Not only will China have to deal with USN and USAF but Nippon Navy and the Ozzies. You'll also have USMC LHD's with a compliment of 14-20 F-35Bs flying CAP.
Ukraine is Russia's first war against a real competent military (even though UKS military is small with less capabilities) since WW2 and it is showing. Taiwan conflict will be China's first real war and they will go up against the Daddy of all militaries and will have to figure out how to combine its military branches to fight as one (Joint-Command) which they lack severely. Chicoms are watching Russia struggle really bad and they are taking note and likely asking themselves wth is going on here, is it Russian equipment or incompetence?
Well it was an Indian who posted it here, so have a chat with them, since they're spreading your enemy's propaganda for them.
I do, it was Friday evening though.
You want China to take over Taiwan?
It will not be able to withdraw its ground troops, in 15 days it is the "raspoutitsa" thaw in Ukraine and there a large part of the South is impracticable. All the tanks will get bogged down!

The Russian rhetoric and justification is that Kyiv is the cradle of Russia, and that Ukrainians are a "brotherly people".Russia has Learnt enough from Syria , Chechnya and Afghanistan
Europeans can only send weapons , How many " Blonde Blue Eyed " Men are being Sent
by Europeans
Anyway Ukraine 's Military Assets and Infrastructure has been Wrecked
So Even if Russia Withdraws its Ground troops it will carry on
Air Strikes and Missile Strikes Just Like ISRAEL does EVERY YEAR on GAZA
It's not sympathy for Russia as much as detesting US & western double standards on the issue. India has for far too long been a victim of such unintended international power play in the past during the Cold War & later as well .(ps: I understand the sympathy that many Indians feel towards Russia)
Russians felt a lot less sympathy for India during our skirmish with China. In any future war between the two, Russians would be supporting the Chinese. It will be hard to drill that into the thick skulls here. Maybe they'll wake up when Petrol costs jump to ₹150 in the future.(ps: I understand the sympathy that many Indians feel towards Russia)
This guy is a real piece of work. He quotes a post saying it's become difficult for the Chinese to invade Taiwan now that Russia has undertaken what it has in the Ukraine as the US & it's allies would be that much more prepared , by starting with what are you taking about & then goes on to add two paras full of known details on US defence plan for Taiwan merely reinforcing the PoV of the original post.What are you talking about?

The Russian rhetoric and justification is that Kyiv is the cradle of Russia, and that Ukrainians are a "brotherly people".
This means that the Russian army cannot use the "good old" carpet bombing strategy in Ukraine, as it did in Chechnya or Syria, against radicalised Muslims.
In other words, in Ukraine, Russia is forced to fight with one hand tied behind its back...
+ weapons and data supplied by the West
+ economic sanctions
