You're telling me it's easier for Wagner to kill Ukranians and then change into their gear just for photo ops, than for it to be just Ukranians?

And btw nearly all Ukranians speak or understand Russian.

F-35s acquired by South Korea have been out of service 234 times in 18 months due to malfunctions, including 172 emergency landings.

SU-35s are more superior than F-35's imo.

10 years before blowing up Nord Stream pipelines, the US started a proxy war in Syria. Why?

The US wanted to build pipelines linking Qatar-Syria-Turkey-Europe.

But Assad refused because he wanted to do Iran-Iraq-Syria-Europe.

Wrong narrative entirely. Russia has underestimated and treated the Ukrainian offensive right from the start. They should have gone shock and awe right from the start.
VictorUSA:
Is it not a shame that the almighty Russia who some claim can nuke heaven and earth building up nuclear just to fight little Ukraine? The whole Russia cannot fight Ukraine in a conventional war and they have to use nuclear?


Is this the country that will fight France and Germany and win? Let's keep USA aside.

Iranian cargo planes continue to arrive in Russia.

Yesterday, a heavy transport aircraft Il-76 (EP-PUS) of the Iranian airline Pouya Air, affiliated with the IRGC, arrived at Vnukovo Airport from Tehran.

What he delivered to Moscow is unknown, but most likely a fresh batch of drones.

Blah, blah, blah...we've heard this before. Russia didn't underestimate anything. They planned for this war for almost three months before invasion and they are still struggling till now.

The Washington Post reports on the state of the Ukrainian army

The Ukrainian military has been at the front for eight months now without rotation and rest, the shelling of Russian artillery and the news of new mobilization reserves of Russia are causing a drop in discipline among the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine against the backdrop of a lack of people and resources.

The article says that many units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were overwhelmed by a wave of demoralization, as there were "too many losses."

Ukrainian soldiers believe that over time the situation at the front will only worsen, because soon the new Russian military reserves will receive the necessary combat experience, and winter cold will begin in Ukraine itself. Also, many are demoralized by the destruction of a thermal power plant in western Ukraine.

Only a slowpoke will compare Su-35S a 4th gen fighter with the state of the art, 5th gen fighter F-35S

SU-35s is not a stealth fighter it cannot even go supersonic without afterburners

any where that jet go na so e go pup up for enemy radar.

The F35 has stealth . In a visual dogfight the Sukhoi matches up.
Stealthy F35 means it sees the enemy on radar and downs it beyond visual range.The Su+35 never knows who hit it.

I am very correct on my assertion. As far back as December 2021, Russia was already sending troops to the Ukrainian border. They had over 3 months of planning to do before the invasion while pretending as if they were negotiating and lying to the entire world.

I believe the country that poses more threats to the US is Russia, militarily. China on the other hand pose more threat to the US economically. Russia is the only anti-west country in the world that can challenge the US and without fear, openly send military support to any country invaded by US or a country with which the US is fighting a proxy. China, India, Iran, North Korea don't have the balls to challenge USA that was why the US had to trap Russia down first. China should get prepared as the US is planning to make it a pariah and Taiwan will be another Ukraine.

This is the first time you said something both reasonable and factually verifiable. Kudos. cool

This oligarchy thing that is being bandied as a Russian thing is so wrong.

The Russian business men and billionaires have barely little to no say in the control of govt. If anything, those guys are in the firm grip of FSB and FSB controls them mostly.

The country where oligarchy exists is the USA , because it is the business men and billionaires there that control the govt and decide on what policies they should pass. They disguise it as lobbying grin

In summary, Contrary to what the western media tells you, the west is being control by powerful oligarchs, but Russia is not.

You just educated a lot of misinformed people here. Kudos.
