Na to warn them about how devastating the sanctions can be. Let's be reminded that it was sanctions that dropped Russian rubble to 100 rubbish to 1 dollars after its annexation of Crimea. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
A new devastating one after the 10,000 sanctions?
Trump himself said he's not sure if the sanctions would affect Russia again, but gbelebo here said a new devastating sanctions is coming

Lol.

I believe Witkoff's visit will be to discuss investments between both countries. It's why he's meeting Kirilev, Russia's foreign investment fund chief.

If it was pertaining Ukraine, then Rubio and maybe Hegseth will be present.
He also met Putin.

The Kremlin is only being courteous.

The answer to the ceasefire question remains "no".
Washington should do whatever they like.

We've gotten so used to the idea of just fighting guerilla wars and fucking fighting terrorists and everything else that we kind of forgot what it means to actually fight a war," he said.

The conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan were real wars that came at a severe cost in human lives, but the war in Ukraine is industrial warfare at levels of destruction like the world has not seen in a long time.

With the focus on the wars in the Middle East during much of this century, the US and some of its NATO allies in Europe allowed the skills needed for this kind of conflict to atrophy.

The veteran said that when he went through training, he never got any real training for peer-on-peer conflict. "A little bit of talking about it and just a little bit of training, but nothing to the point that would have prepared me for the war in Ukraine," he recalled.

He said that he has seen a lot of Western soldiers struggle in Ukraineas "they already have a set idea about how things should be and everything, and it's just not that way out in Ukraine."

You can read the article in the link. NATO is not ready and invisible planes wonโ€™t save them.
This to a large extent is true of the US, got a few buddies in service over there and they to a certain degree somewhat validate this. It's almost as if they're resigned to the idea that modern warfare doesn't require much of field engagement man-to-man. They've got highly trained gunslingers who would even take aim at a needle tip and get it shot but the idea of actual battlefield situation isn't really something they care about.
But you shouldn't be piloting this idea as they might actually not be true o. There soldiers and there are soldiers!!! E go shock you.

โšกUAE-Linked Ship Held in Greece Over Libya Arms

UAE-managed cargo ship AYA1 was held 96 hours in Astakos, Greece, over claims it carried SUVs and possible arms for Libyaโ€™s Haftar.

AYA1 left India, stopped in Dubai, and was seized by EU forces before being escorted to port by ITS Morosini.

Declared as electronics, the cargo hid military vehicles; Greek officials took no action.

After secret NATO coordination, the ship reached Misrata on August 1; cargo details remain unknown.

That's what scares them the most. Russia's wars are always World War-Like.

While their own wars feels like an FBI sting operation.

They still train their so called elite forces in that way.

Russia trains with Artillery, Missiles, Rocket Launchers while the US trains with guns and night vision ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿ˜ญ

It doesn't seem you followed why integrity was brought into the question, the writer guy said he can't sell his soul for money or visa, isn't that rich coming from someone advocating for another country for a fee.
The last disagreement I had here was with Gbadebo, I'm certain you're aware, he defended the Nigerian army til the very end, I was forced to give up.
Does that mean he supports everything the Nigerian army does ? No, he was being patriotic ( I hope )

When we criticize a country for it actions, I want to believe we all do that in hope the country does better and not a case of giving a dog a bad name just to hang it.
I hope that's lucid enough.
I've been very busy lately and I follow the updates in descending order. I get the context now although I doubt that anybody is getting paid here.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/china-is-choking-supply-of-critical-minerals-to-western-defense-companies/ar-AA1JQ1qs

Earlier this year, as U.S.-China trade tensions soared, Beijing tightened the controls it places on the export of rare earths. While Beijing allowed them to start flowing after the Trump administration agreed in June to a series of trade concessions, China has maintained a lock on critical minerals for defense purposes. China supplies around 90% of the worldโ€™s rare earths and dominates the production of many other critical minerals.
The squeeze on critical minerals highlights how dependent the U.S. military is on China for much of its supply chainโ€”giving Beijing leverage at a time of rising tensions between the two powers and heated trade negotiations. Defense manufacturers supplying the U.S. military rely on minerals that are mainly produced in China for microelectronics, drone motors, night-vision goggles, missile-targeting systems and defense satellites.

If youโ€™re wondering why trump is avoiding china in the tariffs on Russian oil, read the full article in the link.
And while they will be struggling to find alternative supplier of refined rare Earths for their arms industry, China is already rolling out prototypes of their 6th generation fighters. I heard China is even rejecting their Nvidia chips. Person wey done big, done big abeg.
