For Russia, certain. For Ukraine, how so?
We have no idea what the actual figure is. By the looks of it they are trying to mobilize everyone they can so I suspect it's higher than 300k. This...
Ukraine can take their sweet time with the Kherson Kessel and limit own losses. It was a brilliant lure to weaken other fronts and shift Russia's focus away from where they actually wanted to attack...
Absolutely. In addition to all the external factors you mentioned one has to consider the sheer logistical nightmare of trying to occupy a country as large as Ukraine. Russia has, so far,...
Fortunately the United States, unlike Russia, is not forced to having to live with such a character for several decades. While the Democratic party is still in shambles (thank you very much Mr....
Tbh giving Greenland the autonomy to actually do something like declaring independence is imo one of the biggest geopolitical mistakes that Denmark has made since the whole debacle in 1864. Greenland...
Well they just gave us the family tree. Another 4 years perhaps?
Would it be possible to disable pocket transport ships and have armies rely on fleets, akin to NTW? That could potentially solve the problem while making navies a true asset to invest in.
Loving the mod so far, but I have a question (playing seleucids) Why can't I have Antiochos II declared to be the heir? It states that he isn't part of the dynasty and it seems there is no way of...
Well my "nerdy" GF didn't like one bit of her - or the entire plot around her. As someone already mentioned Trans character feels like an awkward cosplayer that has no place in a SW movie. Personally...
My only "major" gripe is that CA hasn't considered that 800AD Britian looked geographically different from today - It would be a very nice touch to have. Also, If I buy it I would eventually want to...
That doesn't change the predatory business model used by EA. Unfortunately people will buy it in droves and affirm the EA decision makers that their strategy works. Micro transactions and Pay-to-win...
Short answer is no. Germany essentially lost when Hitler declared war on the United States (which imo is the real turning point). This mean that the Allies would have overwhelming superiority in...
As one of the few that actually liked BvS, I loathed Justice League. It was a Marvel movie in everything but name and that wasn't what I was paying to see. The villain was uninteresting and comically...
So in 13 years China will design and build +10 new Ford-clone aircraft carriers, and somehow attain the same level of operational skill and proficiency, which the USN has perfected for over half a...
People have been talking about reforms for decades and as customary nothing happened. Anyone talking about reforming the EU (e.i. diverting from the current disastrous course) at this stage is either...
Considering the type of games these blokes have made previously I'm surprised that so few saw this coming... However, I didn't imagine they would actually charge AAA price for a :wub: indie game. And...
The PAK/FA must be no different then... Execpt being inferior in everything not related to airshows.
Yes, and like we have seen over the past 20+ years now, none of that will happen.
By having Merkel and Hollande running the show? How about no thank you very much.
Juncker and all the other cronies (Schultz, Van Rompuy, Tusk, Barroso, etc) aren't going anywhere. Unlike the UK the EU doesn't have any democratic accountability and these people can do whatever...
Most of which properly looks like this now:

It is not a fact that such an event will never transpire, and with the recent aggressions from Putin's regime it has certainly moved closer towards the realm of being a possible outcome. Actually, a...
Imo all three candidates were :wub: for us, and I really don't understand why Boeing wanted to sell us F-18s enstead of far better suited F-15s. In any case I really hope there is a back door...
The Australian frigate program also looks rather interesting. Something like $30b, which is nearly as big as the submarine contract.
The "possible" candidates, so far that I've read about:
Type...
Have you, or are you just pretending?
And that doesn't change the reality that if Russia fails to regain control over their former puppet it will eventually join either the EU or NATO (or both) once criteria for membership are meet. So...
We just love being told what to do by Sweden :)
And now we would expect you to elaborate as everything about Putin points in the opposite direction. If anything Putin is a KGB/FSB asset.
I've always assumed that swedish politicians were a level above retarded, but that just blew my mind.
There were more than 10 incidents during the Cold War where the Soviets shot down american aircraft and as you said, no nukes were dropped. Perhaps Russia has learned something today, though I doubt...
How about a second activation of Article 5?
And it absolutely pales in comparison to the one you provided us, HH.

Meanwhile Russia bombs MSF in Syria.
It's a shame that the US cannot force other NATO members to fight its' wars then, and it is also too bad that the US cannot force the elected governments of NATO countries what stance to take against...
And how does that change the fundemental function or behaviour of said organization?
FSB and KGB are very much the same creature.
Not really. The politics of the EU is much to blame for the rise and it is only going to get worse unless fundemental changes are made. Just take a look at Sweden and please tell me you don't find...
I'm way more inclined to credit Anatolij Sobtjak for creating Putin than Berezovskij. I also find it funny that you're seemly ignoring just how deeply routed Putin was with the KGB and that he was...
The Muslim Victim Card is getting old, Porus.
