This. The US is no longer the superpower it once was. It is no longer a uni-polar world. The US may be a falling star, but China's wolf warrior diplomacy made it a lonely star. The USA has friends now, powerful friends, friends who we are just now realizing how powerful they have become.

Japan, South Korea, Australia, Taiwan, Vietnam, and the Philippines*.


*ignore the rhetoric and look at the basing map



China's navy will have to contend with shooting it out with multiple foes. Air, land, and sea simultaneously. China's supply lines are exposed. It needs to import coal, oil, food, etc. To secure them China will have break out past the first island chain, pushing back South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, and the US.

Sadly, this didn't need to be. It's sad to see the promising freedoms under previous CCP leadership get stripped and dragged backwards. It's no coincidence that business is stagnating and people's lives are worse off with Xi in power. Oddly enough, this seems to be mirroring the conservative efforts to drag us back into the stone age.

Looks like the Russians may have finally bagged themselves an M270. Pity. Heroyam slava. 2+ years though, wow. A testament to the power of proper shoot n scoot, though sometimes the bad guy gets lucky.

They hate the M142/M270s so much they keep Iskanders on call for priority strikes. Sounds appropriate.

Absolutely not. With an exception of sanctions which Biden should impose after Europe does and not before, I do not support any action that Biden should take in support of Ukraine. This is really Europe fight, they need to deal with it. This is not US fight.
Are you forgetting we made an agreement in the 90s with Ukraine in exchange for them getting rid of their nukes we would help in their defense.

You saying the rest of the world they should not trust the United States to keep their word.

Democracies abiding by agreements and authoritarians wiping their asses with them always seems to be a non issue with some people, I've never understood it. More surprising to me is how they still don't get that the US doing nothing for Ukraine will ensure this becomes an American fight in Europe. I'm so thankful the Biden administration and the Pentagon aren't as myopic or unconcerned with American lives.

Isolationism doesn't work, see WWI. Democracies need to stand up to genocidal fascism because indifference and appeasement do not work, see WWII.

People who don't want to see Americans dying in Europe to protect it during WWIII should be first in line to voice support Ukraine, it's that simple.

If you told somebody from the 80s that you could kill practically the entire Soviet land army because it will just slowly march itself into a meat grinder in Ukraine and that you could accomplish it for the fraction of the US yearly defense spend they would look at you like you're a crazy person for not taking the deal. The stuff that was thought we'd need to do, including turning the entire country of Germany into a nuclear battlefield, was insane.

Been hearing the Russians have seen an uptick in 'code 500s,' or people refusing to march into the chipper.

Yeah, sounds like the desperation went up a notch or two



"Soldiers of the 26th Armoured Regiment of the 47th Division of the so-called Luhansk People's Republic have published a recording claiming that the command sends them "straight from hospitals to combat missions, even though many of them can only move with crutches."

From the hospital straight to the front line. Sheeyit. Just imagine two guys on crutches, trying to share a motorcycle to the 'zero line' while dodging craters, drones and artillery the whole way. I think I feel bad about laughing at this one. Sorry Yuri, you guys aren't being sent in to attack, you're being disposed of.
