shoodboi2:You think it by scribbling Long epistles enhh mate??, so the criticism is that LordAdam is calling out Iran over women dressing code, that's criticism to you?? Dress code?? Iran is killing and jailing protesters and your fallback is someone is been critical of dress code, 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂, So you think we pro west guys will be arguing with you guys if all you guys criticism of the west is just based simply on western dress code and corruption 😂😂😂,. They are countless of articles of mass media of western origin who are very critical of Israeli operations in Gaza's, that is popular knowledge, How many Russian Mass media is critical of Putin war in Ukraine?? None right?? Crimea is traditionally a Russia island that's your excuse?? Texas was part of Mexico before becoming an independent republic and then joining the United States hope you know that right?? So Mexico can wake up morning and invade and take it back because it was once Mexico right?? Russia can invade alaska because it was once Russian territory or Nigeria should invade Camerron and take back the bakassi peninsula right?? Dose it make sense to you?? Russia is not killing civilians right? The 14k civilians that have died in Ukraine, how did they die, they were killed by the Ukrainian military right?? Who killed them??, 51k Palestinian is genocide but 14k Ukrainians is what now??collateral damage?? Russia is fighting a conventional military in Ukraine while the Jews are fighting a foe who camouflage with civilians, What do you expect mate?? Even a kid knows the media in the US didn't support the Iraqi invasion, When Russia invaded Ukraine, how many Russian Mass media protest against the move? When Russia invaded Georgia how many Russian Mass media protested. We can point to many instances of US mass media criticism of sitting US president and its polices, show us one major Russian Mass media or Chinese being critical of Xi or Putin How many civilians died in the gulf war when the US aided Kuwait and the total combatants?? Help yourself mate, stop being emotional😂😂😂😂 When it comes to WW2 victories Russia won the war, when it comes to regime changes The Soviet Union is suddenly not Russia again. 😂😂😂😂😂 A Russian court sentenced its own soldiers fir war crimes https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn012ed0z2ro.amp https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/09/world/europe/russia-ukraine-war-soldiers-family-killing.html |

LordAdam16:I think China will lose more, in the sense that China is more developed than the US now, in terms of infrastructure, technology, industries etc. America is finished already, they have nothing to lose except their precious citizens. |

FoolishBoy419:Firstly, I think Iran should increase the range of their missiles to the level where it can reach the US mainland before testing the nuke. If not it won't stop the US from attacking iran |

According to multiple sources, the total civilian casualties of the failed Soviet Union invasion of Afghanistan is close to 3 million, The war lasted for 9 years, The war fought by the Soviet Union was an asymmetric war like the one being fought currently in Gaza, In 9 years about 3 million Afghans loss their lives that's about 300,000 deaths each year, any war were the the adversary is not a normal conventional army but an insurgency entity, it is very hard to keep civilian casualties at a bare minimum, Hamas don't have military bases, they don't put on uniforms, the battlefield isn't defind, they are no frontlines, no supply channels, no definite structured territory, no humanitarian corridors, no nothing Yet our friends here are expecting that the casualties recorded should be ten civilians |

23jerryking:The most intelligent person I have ever met is Chinese we normally plan chess and I have never for once beaten the guy. He always plan ahead and I think that's a Chinese thing. Because throughout history except during Britain's opium poisoning of the Chinese masses. The Chinese have always been visionaries always thinking ahead. And as much as mao was a terrible person he too was a visionary and thought ahead of a present situation. Same as china today. They will always wait for the perfect time to do a particular thing and the have a road map follow it to the fullest. Chinese mega cities are one of the best in the world their food is also good |

WriterrNg:Sure, I give it to them though strategically, they are still maintaining their global influence through military superiority (world's largest defense budget, 800+ bases), economic dominance (dollar as reserve currency, tech innovation), alliances like NATO, and soft power via culture and media. |

Alamkiir:You’re right china has too much to lose. That’s why they’ll wait for the empire to collapse internally due to its debt crisis. Everyone knows the only solution to USA debt is default or massive budget cuts that’ll lead to a depression. It may happen soon or take a while but whenever the debt bubbles pop the empire is gone. Chinese a patient people they’ll wait it out. |

Obedience40:Baba I think you missed the point A few days ago Russia was condemned even by its most ardent follower here (Writerng ) for being an unreliable ally. I have not seen you admit or condemn any foreign policies by the US. Perhaps it's time you and Writerng registered as a foreign agent lol |

usmanpogo:That's not criticism mate, I have criticized the US for not giving critical weapons to Ukraine on time, I have been critical of Biden slow response to Jewish needs during the war in Gaza. The type of criticism we are talking about, is the type they leveled against the West, Genocide, Regime changes, freedoms suppression, Forcefully take over of territory's, invasions, etc They are critical of Palestine deaths why not also extend that to Ukrainian civilians?? They condemned the Iraqi invasion, while applauding Russia invasion of Ukraine, They say Israel is bombing cities, while they hail Russia as she levels Ukrainian cities, They say US in enabling regime changes, while Russia is sponsoring coups in Africa, they call US military installations as occupation, while Russia is strategic partnerships Those weren't criticism, They were simply pointing out Putin's inadequacies, Hope you get my point mate?? Foreign agent🫣 |

Alamkiir:I think you're talking about ICBM, only a handful of countries have that capability. I don't think Iran wants nukes, it appears they're indecisive though. The first thing any serious country that's in pursuit of nuclear weapons does is to withdraw from the NPT. As long as they are a signatory to the NPT, they MUST submit to IAEA inspections. Before you bring up Israel, bear in mind Israel is not a signatory to the NPT and Israel maintains a very cautious ambiguity about possessing such weapons. The question people aren't asking is Why are the Iranians enriching uranium close to weapon grade ? I think most of us grew up watching too much Hollywood movies where people believe the US doesn't negotiate with terrorists, well all that is a lie. The US is a country that responds to force, that's the only language they speak. When an organization or a country speaks the same language fluently with the US, then they'll be willing to negotiate. This language is a leverage that can get an organization or a country a sit on the negotiation table. The Iranians spoke this language fluently recently, we all saw what side asked for a cease-fire, after initially aiming for regime change. I believe the Iranians would agree to any deal that includes lifting of all economic sanctions and the agreement to civil use of nuclear technology. The Ayatollahs have banned the development of nuclear weapons since time immemorial. The only reason they could be enriching uranium is for leverage. Another example of a country that understands this language is Pakistan. There are rumors that Pakistan is very much interested in developing ICBM. A means to hit the heart of mainland US, This news has spooked Washington. However, the Pakistan government is sort of broke and they are looking to secure some loan from IMF. In other words, Pakistan's loan would be approved and they would jettison any idea of developing ICBMs. |

Obedience40:Are you saying the west didn't commit genocide, regime change or invasions ? Technically you didn't criticize the US, you only pointed out their " inadequacies " in Ukraine. Both the Russians or Soviets and the West are very much guilty of all of the above. |

usmanpogo:Genocide? The "West" is a big group of nations, of course they are certain elements of it which have committed genocide in the past, The nazi Germany, the fascist Italy are all guilty of genocide. What we are saying here is that there should be an equal balance of criticism, you can't be critical of the US and the West over a particular thing, while the Russia, the China you are supporting is doing same or have done same. |
| Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by LordAdam16: 8:43pm On Jul 04, 2025 |
Alamkiir:This is an involved thought process. Don't have the time to lay every single component out, but will give some sort of synopsis. The US relies on air and naval power. No one is thinking of conventionally invading China. That is not an objective. For air and naval power, they'll need bases and superior manufacturing. China has them beat on manufacturing supremacy. On bases, they'll have to be close to China. Look up Pacific island chains. It's this concept in military strategy of a ring of island chains that the US has to control to have a pincer around China to be capable of hurting China. As with the Gulf bases and Iran; the US so-called unsinkable carriers are Japan, South Korea, and to some degree Philippines. Thailand, Malaysia, India, and a few others maybe may contribute to the war effort. This is where it gets tricky because WW2 and the cold war is over. As I told Writer, pull up Google Earth. For every 1 million casualty in China, at least 3 million plus will be eliminated in those vassals. South Korea will be taken off the board in days. Japan will be crippled. Think the status of the Low Countries during Hitler's march. Philippines will sign an unconditional surrender. India will stay out hoping to pull a US where it will wait until both sides have wrecked themselves before aligning with the winner. Then it's about China pumping out enough materiel to crowd out US assets in the South China sea and pushing the US to the second island chain. A reverse of what the US did to Japan during WW2. Casualties from US attacks will at worse plateau at this point and fatalities in mainland US will start rising rapidly. I don't see China pushing further into the Western Hemisphere unless the US collapses under its own weight. But this is the point where all of China's innate brutality and manufacturing supremacy will have the most devastating effect. Think about what's happening in Ukraine currently. China will send waves after waves, non-stop of incendiaries, until it achieves its war goals. The US will seek to blunt the attack but China will keep at it and systematically degrade the US militarily because it will simply make more stuff that go kaboom. That is why I said it'll be a mauling. It'll be the Dragon just drowning continental US in unrelenting fire. A malaise the US has never experienced. The Western seaboard will be decimated. Panama canal destroyed. Population centers in eastern seaboard cities will become kill zones. That is the definition of "unrecognizable". Will China suffer huge casualties in a total war? Yes. But at the point where it's lost 100m people, every Asian country that is a US vassal today would have either capitulated or be destroyed. The US itself will bear the brunt during the war. No more destroying some other region, and decimating that region's population and industrial capacity while paying little price. Then it'll become how much punishment they can sustain until they sign a treaty that makes China the clear, undisputed Superpower. This will be a war that dethrones the US. The $ reserve status. The so-called rules-based order. All of that bunkum. China will put in a coffin. China is preparing for the war. And part of the US starting fires all around is trying to rope in China into costly foreign debacles before it hits its own military milestones. China knows the US will not go quietly into the night. A mostly peaceful collapse of the US will still have a shooting war component. That's why the Chinese Foreign Minister told Kallas earlier this week that while it will not allow Russia to lose in Ukraine, it hasn't really provided military help to Russia. Because if it had, the war would have been over. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3316875/china-tells-eu-it-cannot-afford-russian-loss-ukraine-war-sources-say Russia, Iran, the Koreas, even Taiwan. All the provocations aim to get China to stumble. But Beijing is not biting. The export controls and restrictions are also to slow China's military modernization. China is currently building a military command center in Beijing that is 10 times bigger than the Pentagon. They're not doing that to seize Taiwan or because of Japan. The CCP don set date for the US. When the time comes they'll either accept a diminished role or be made to. A multipolar world is the diplomatic compromise. But China knows that after 2500 years at the top, old habits die hard. So it is preparing for what it considers an inevitability. A showdown with the US. -Lord |

Gerrard59:The first awarded comment is literally: Imagine retooling that place for military purposes during a time of war.They see it. They know what's coming. And they're powerless to stop it. India admitted it lost 3 Rafale jets. The PL-15E air to air missile armament of the J-10C is entirely made by robots. Imagine what a missile factory city with robots working 24/7 can output in each day. Uptime will be above 90% with no chance of the US matching it even if they want to copy because as Apple CEO Tim Cook said and I'm loosely paraphrasing: "You could fill multiple football fields with tooling engineers in China, while a meeting of such professionals in the US might not even fill a room." China is on another level. -Lord |
