There will be a heavy protest in Russia soon, if Putin continues like this.

Oya, argue it with me. I wasn't the one but I fully represent whoever said it with all conviction.

Masterviolence:
Over the years, I've become adamant to expressing my fact based opinions because many folks here are emotionally underdeveloped.

I'm saying it today. Europe will enter into Ukraine to fight Russia with the backing of the u.s either overtly or covertly.
In response, Ukraine will cease to exist as a state.
Russia will strike Poland and other European nations, when they fully experience the might of the Russian federation, the U.S, NATO and Russia will come to the negotiation table.

But Ukraine will lose it statehood.

Time is my weapon.

This not rant bro. America is playing a dangerous game which might escalate to something tragic. U wan dey observe and enforce James Monroe doctrine in 2026 but you have military formation in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Ukraine. These are countries bordering Russia and China. If I'm Putin, I will order armed ship to escort the next badge of oil tankers heading to Venezuela. Give them absolute order to engage and neutralize any external aggression.
Erdogan should have security guarantee from Moscow. Supply more S-400. He can move mad against Israel in Syria. Host birthday and wedding anniversary to Houthi, Hezbollah & Hamas leadership in Istanbul. Once Israel strike Turkey, then NATO article five will be buried

I'm 100% in support.

I've been saying it since forever, that something bad needs to happen to Putin for him to sit up. Y'all called me emotional.

The US has seized a second oil tanker, this time in the Caribbean sea, according to the US Southern Command.

The vessel, a "stateless, sanctioned dark fleet motor tanker", was apprehended in a pre-dawn operation, the military adds.

"The interdicted vessel, M/T Sophia, was operating in international waters and conducting illicit activities in the Caribbean Sea," the US military says in a statement. "The US Coast Guard is escorting M/T Sophia to the US for final disposition."

See you in accusing others of tactical thinking deficiency when from your own warp assertions and jingoistic purview you can't even see the geopolitical abyssal hellhole the emotionally driven and covetous dump Trump regime has dug for itself ditto Venezuela.

I won't even bother to take you up on that front. Let the events as they unfold in Caracas and beyond be the 2by3 that slap sense on your head.

You are not even ashamed that your glorified leader of the free world is a common thief, kidnapper, and pirate. It's your call anyway.


On the Taiwan issue, your post reeks of sheer ignorance and severe fundamental misunderstandings of historical facts, international law, and strategic/geopolitical reality.

Here are some clear legal facts and logical reasoning you should humbly educate yourself on:

1. In terms of Sovereignty and International Law, Taiwan has been an inalienable part of China's territory since ancient times. This is both legal and historical fact, recognized by the overwhelming majority of countries through the One-China Principle, which is the bedrock of diplomatic relations with China. United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 (1971) unequivocally recognizes the representatives of the Government of the People's Republic of China as the only legitimate representatives of China to the UN, expelling the representatives of the Taiwan authorities. There is no ambiguity—Taiwan is not a country; it is a part of China.

2. On the area of Strategic Importance, your question is, "What do they want from Taiwan that they don't have?" You didn't just miss the point entirely, you bare your ignorance to the rest of the public.

The issue is not about acquiring resources but about upholding national sovereignty and territorial integrity—a core interest of any nation. Any nation would go to war if need be to defend its territory and sovereignty. The reunification of the motherland is a sacred mission for the Chinese nation. Furthermore, Taiwan holds immense strategic significance for China's national defense, acting as a crucial link in the first island chain. Its separation is a historical legacy that must be resolved.

3. In terms of using Force vs Peaceful reunification, China's primary approach has always been peaceful reunification under the "One Country, Two Systems" framework, as seen in the case with Hong Kong and Macao. The commitment to peace is unwavering. However, the right to use all necessary means, including force, is universally reserved by all sovereign states against secessionist activities. This is a right of self-defense, not aggression. The hypothetical scenario of a "Pearl Harbor approach" is a reckless and inaccurate projection. China's military strategy is defensive in nature.

But, if you think that, in the face of constantly changing geopolitical realities, especially with competing peer powers pushing beyond the limit to change the calculus against China and put her at a disadvantage, and China will not act decisively, I can only say one thing; you're living in an alternate reality.

4. You even assumes automatic and unlimited US military involvement, which further shows how myopic and simplistic you create assumptions.

US involvement in Taiwan today is purely out of fear, desperation, and bitterness of one single realization: it has lost economic supremacy to China. China now out manufacture the US on every scale and sense of the word. Even in some key military areas, the US is currently trailing China, and with each passing day, that gap keeps widening. What is happening now in Venezuela is the US lashing out trying to stall the Chinese whichever way it could. But, this tactics is not only shortsighted, but will hasten its own demise on the long-run on many fronts. Everyone is taking notes. Even her own allies are staring in disbelief. Uncle Sam is boxing itself into a bleak reality that will soon dawn on her.

If the US keep pushing and gets to the limit of China's tolerance, bros, dem go collect. Make no mistake about it. A conventional war between the US and China in the Indo-pacific would be like child abuse. I see that this Maduro's stunt has gone over the heads of most of you NVBs here. This was the same US that ran away from the Red Sea peppered by the Houthis and begged Iran for a ceasefire in just 12 days. If China strikes Taiwan today, the US would be the first to evacuate its surrounding bases and staffs. And no, China doesn't need to attack Japan or anyone else first before taking out Taiwan. You're just reasoning upside down.

Don't bother replying. I want to follow what's going on in Caracas.

⚡ Fox News reports that United States boarded the Russian-flagged Iranian-linked oil tanker, Marinera, this morning in the Northern Atlantic, before a flotilla of naval vessels could arrive to escort the ship from Russia.

Davida33:
My man, leave Xi alone.

Xi will not risk China’s economy to fight a war. By 2050, China is expected to overtake the US as the largest economy in the world. The US has both military and economic power and can always impose sanctions.

Engaging in a war right now would be foolish, as it would devastate China’s economic progress.
Let’s also be realistic, the last time China actively engaged in a major war was in the 1960s–1970s. Since then, it has focused on economic growth and supplying weapons to key allies.

China will issue statements, that is all. China that couldn't deploy troops in Ukraine.

Everything happening now is largely because Russia has been weakened. The war in Ukraine has made Russia unable to intervene militarily in other countries.

If not for the Ukraine war, Syria would not have fallen, and the U.S. would not have invaded Venezuela.
Please, let’s leave Xi alone and focus on Russia.

The real question is: by what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? What is the basis of their territorial claim?

What is their basis of having Greenland as a colony of Denmark?

The U.S. is the power of NATO.

Saladdin:
It was wrong of you to accuse others as lacking in tactical thinking.

Many here are seasoned analysts by profession or by pure self-research/enthusiasm. Plus the pieces of info and perspectives shared here mirrors that of regional and international think-tank

So I feel an extra dose of social etiquette and humility will do much good going forward, don't you think so too?

LordAdam16:
just to be clear
the houthis blew up hegemonic ocean liners and the entire world watched them burn and sink
the houthis downed more than a dozen hegemonic dozens
the houthis fired on us warships and led to the loss of two fighter jets

all of that happened within the last year
heaven did not fall
the houthis still run yemen

whatever bs putin and xi are serving is specific to them
a different tsar and emperor will act differently

if the houthis and iran can target us assets and drop missiles on us bases
xi and putin have no excuse

-Lord

LordAdam16:
the nvb 🤡🤡🤡 are a special breed

a tanker sailing for weeks
putin demanded the us stop chasing it
the us refused
putin then dispatches a flotilla to meet and escort the tanker home
the minute they heard about the russian flotilla, they hurriedly seized the tanker before arrival

all these amateurish hit and run tactics
now y'all should wait for the inevitable response
every little brick of their sh*t order is being taken down piece by piece
