Reply to comment by Deep-Mention-3875 in China accuses U.S. of ‘disinformation’ over warnings it’s considering sending artillery and ammo to Russia by diana321
You think 100 nukes won’t end the world? Where the fuck do you live in la la land and how is the weather? I can’t imagine being so delusional and in denial of basic fucking reality to think that 100 nukes would not end the world as we know it. Yeah I’m sure everything would just be all hunky dory.

Reply to comment by CuriousShower9 in Macron flies to Africa to counter waning French influence by HRJafael
France always kept heavy ties with Africa ever since colonization ended. Mainly in the financial and military sector with the positive and negatives repercussions it dragged. Also Northern African and ex-colonies diasporas are massive in the country. Both of those points "legitimate" our position in Africa compared to China/Russia.
I'm not saying I agree with this strategy but you can't compare that to "Nato vs China/Russia". It's mostly about France trying to protect their influence in the region in awkwardly manners.

I don't know what you mean, regardless even Russia should keep out of Africa.
As any other major powers that has supported dictators, coups, harsh economic sanctions etc.

Oof.... this is NOT going to end well. Either bbn of 2 things will happen.... 1st, they escape... 2nd, they are executed. Keeping them long term? Not going to happen.

Reply to comment by BigBeerBellyMan in France, Germany, and the UK offer a plan for Ukraine that doesn’t include NATO membership by Core2score
Yes. First; you're quoting a study regarding enlargement guidelines. These aren't hard rules. They don't show up in the Treaty text.
Secondly, it states it's a factor in deciding whether to invite a state to join. In other words, this is not a hard binary yes/no. It's not saying that countries must have settled their disputes to be members (or many existing NATO countries should not be in NATO); rather that they must show a commitment to settling them in that manner.
Furtherrmore, given that these guidelines are not part of the treaty text, NATO can simply change or override these rules if desired. So again, the decision on whether or not Ukraine can join NATO or not, is a political decision, and not an automatic one based on this rule you're imagining is a hardcoded one when it isn't.

The warhead needed to sink something in that tonnage is pretty hefty. You’re gonna need a drone with a lot of payload and kinetic energy to do serious damage. Not to mention CIWS and other defensive countermeasures.

What's the range on those things? How long do they need to hut each target to knock it out? Once someone figures those numbers out it's fairly easy to figure out the number of drones needed to swamp that particular defensive system

I see them as colonialists, as they have political influence over many central Asian countries.
Now they are in Ukraine

Russian partisans have been quite active since the war started. Lots of train derailments, supply depots and factories attacked as well.
Jake Hanrahan of 'Popular Front' did a great release earlier this year after interviewing a number of Russian partisans and highlighting the internal battle that's being executed by a small but dedicated number of Russian anarchists who are trying to do damage to the Russian war machine.

The clarification is necessary.

Haha you're probably correct. The question is, what type of government.

Russia can end this war by pulling out of all Ukrainian territory. Russia is the one who started this war by invading another country.
