⚡A number of drones were spotted over and near RAF Lakenheath in England on Nov. 20, the Air Force told The War Zone in response to our query about the incident.

“The number of UASs fluctuated and they ranged in size/configuration,” a spokesperson for U.S. Air Forces in Europe – Air Forces Africa (USAFE) told us “The UASs were actively monitored and installation leaders determined that none of the incursions impacted base residents or critical infrastructure.”

Then I misunderstood what he meant I thought he was referring to invading a country like the way Russia invaded Ukraine. And yes the sanctions are fine by me.


You can't equate Nateyahu to Hamas.


He is defending his nation.


The ICC is filled with criminals.
So are your saying Israel in their war against Hamas has not committed war crimes?

⚡Zaluzhny says that NATO is not ready for a "war of attrition" with Russia since the arsenals of missiles and drones of the alliance countries are not comparable with the capabilities of the Russian military-industrial complex.

"The question is; which NATO country is ready to repel an attack by 2,000 targets today? And the trend will be toward increasing the number. Already this month, the number will reach 3,000," Zaluzhny said in an interview with Ukrainska Pravda.


He stressed that the "means of resistance" provided to Ukraine remain "too expensive" and their quantity is too limited. At the same time, the former commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces expressed the opinion that for the same reasons, "neither Britain nor other countries will be ready" for a potential confrontation with Russia.

"I have some doubts. Again, for the same reason that they are very expensive, and, as a result, it is impossible to have a lot of them because producing them is a problem. Therefore, based on this military component alone, we can say that they (NATO countries) are probably not ready," he concluded.
The myth about the superiority of western military capabilities over Russia became an obvious hoax thanks to this war.

Russia is significantly more powerful than you can imagine. With the budget they currently sit on, which cannot be compared to their adversary the u.s let alone the collective NATO, they're seen as a very capable and feared military power.

If not for the capability of the Russian military, NATO would've invaded Russia like they did Libya,Yugoslavia etc

I don't think NATO would dare, considering the size. Wether Russia is military capable or not, it's a lot of work.

They could try to break it into smaller bits then invade.

The only nation capable of destroying Russia (or breaking it into smaller bits) is Russia itself. Such destruction cannot be initiated by an external power it must come from within, much like the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Every other option, apart from the one discussed, carries unimaginable consequences especially the use of force against Russia.

History has shown that attempts to invade Russia with military force have often ended in failure, with invaders being driven back.

This is the 21st century, and any nation that believes it can invade Russia, as Napoleon once did, should understand that the outcome would be far worse. Instead of retreating home, they may find nothing left back home but radioactive dust.
According to Russia's nuclear doctrine:
It doesn't matter if you're capable of nuking Russia; if you invade Russia, you and your gang will be wiped out of the planet Earth and beyond.

You are right, and in addition to what you wrote it should be noted that The Soviet Union was practicing Confedradralism and the principle of the right of secession was enshrined in it's constitution. This right of secession means any member of the union is free to leave the union whenever they wish. This was the main reason why Gorbachev couldn't stopped the other nations from leaving the Soviet Union.
Czechoslovakian is another good example of a Confederation when Czech Republic and Slovakia came together to form Czechoslovakia, the Union also dissolved peacefully, same as Senegambia.

The Russian federation on the other hand is practicing a federal system of government and in a federal system of government there is no right of secession, the only way out is insurrection, and resistance just like the case of the Jugoslavian war of secession.
Russia is too mighty for any force to invade and completely subjugate.

Look what a supposedly intelligent guy keeps typing. Let me school you a bit.

Now, russia and the Soviet Union are not the same thing. The Soviet Union was a communist state that existed from 1922 to 1991, comprising 15 Soviet Socialist Republics, including Russia, Ukraine, and others.

"Ukraine and the others weren't just republics" They were independent countries with their own governments, economies, and cultures. When the Soviet Union collapsed, these countries became independent nations, with their own sovereignty and international recognition.

Now, how can you compare that to states in the US?😂
Yes, US states have a degree of autonomy, but they are still part of the United States of America, with a federal government and a shared national identity.

Like you stated "If Texas and 10 other states were to break away from the US, they would likely form their own independent countries, with their own governments, economies, and international recognition just like Ukraine. And, please, we would still refer to their past achievements as American, because that's their shared history.

So, do not get yourself twisted. Russia and the Soviet Union are not the same thing, and Ukraine and the others are independent countries with their own identities.
Educate yourself please. Lol
Only 3 countries existed pre-sovient era.

You no sabi history reach that level?

What nonsense are you talking about? 🤷‍♂️
Soviet era refers to the period from 1922 to 1991, when the Soviet Union existed. So, if we're talking about the pre-Soviet era, we're looking at the time before 1922.

There were loads of countries that existed before the Soviet Union came into being.

Take a look at some of the countries that existed in Europe alone, pre-1922. You had the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy, and many more. And that's just Europe. You also had countries like China, Japan, and the United States, which all existed before the Soviet era.

I don't like arguing, you said 15 independent countries came together to form the Soviet Union.

I said only 3 were existing countries that even 2 out of the 3 joined the Soviet Union years later.

If you believe what I wrote up there is a lie, kindly name the 15 countries that existed pre-soviet union era before forming the Soviet Union.

While at it, also name their presidents, Capitals and including their various currencies.

To make it easy for you, just send a link listing these names that were already independent countries before agreeing to form the Soviet Union.

Thank you
