You are once again repeating Russian talking points (the actual fallacy) designed to minimize the scope of the military defeat it suffered in...
My guess is “strongly suspected” is a better expression than “know,” but recent Chinese behavior toward its people in Hong Kong more or less...
A bit more on Xi preparing his military for war with the U.S. MSN
What an F16 can or can’t do would depend on which country donated and what kinds of bells and whistles it would come with. The specific weapons...
Nor am I. I think the maximum we should do in another country’s domestic politics is protect our property and our citizens. If we could undo our...
Bearing in mind I have absolutely no information that you don’t on that topic, then yes. I would find that more likely.
I suppose not. It’s also possible but not likely the aircraft strayed too close to the front without such orders. But if I had to put money on it...
Well, I hope not. Because the moment Xi thinks he has an overwhelming advantage he is going to make his move. And the President will have one hell...
Very good. You have correlated our forces ship to ship. Now what is your assessment of their standoff missiles designed to sink our ships before...
They are originally designed for aircraft, not missiles, so yes. And the range is farther than what you posted. But, still, it stretches...

Hope it’s true. That would be a big loss for Russia.
If true, galactically stupid for them to fly an AWACS that close to the front. The whole point of airborne radar is that you can keep it well to...
You don’t think? Now that we know how bad the Russian air forces and air defenses are? Actually, I think that if Russia crosses a line we cannot...
And do you know how you know that? Because Xi has been cracking down on corruption and arresting officers who falsify readiness reports. This...
No, I don’t either. But we don’t need the extremes. We need the larger center to embrace itself instead of its two extremes. That’s far more...
Sadly, just about every country has a fall harvest festival in some form or another. So even that is not strictly true. If you want something that...
The truth is, because it is difficult to prove a negative, we never are quite sure when deterrence succeeds. But we are certain when deterrence...
Surely, this is a topic we can mostly agree on and leave Trump out of?
That’s the problem with using code words like “mostly peaceful.” They eventually bring instant recognition as to their true meaning.
