Maybe so. This forum is light years better than most (than for example Cornu) because we avoid personal attacks and emotional outbursts. I thought you liked that too and therefore expected low tolerance for rudeness.

But, keep up the style and don’t let crap through! You’re doing this really well! It’s possible to disagree and challenge opinions without personal attacks and belittling.

I can see that you are grasping at straws… 😄

It would take much worse things for me to stop something (e.g. if someone repeatedly is really unpleasant and starts threatening others with murder).

Relax now, my post doesn’t contradict yours, but rather complements it, and since people are satisfied now, it shouldn’t have had a significant impact on the election this time.

Yesterday, the AFRF🇷🇺 launched 90 air strikes on the positions of AFU 🇺🇦 and populated areas, dropped 139 UAVs, and used 2,506 kamikaze drones to attack them. The AFRF🇷🇺 also made 5771 artillery attacks, including 145 from multiple launch rocket systems.

Over the past day, the aviation, missile troops and artillery of the AFU 🇺🇦 hit eight areas of concentration of personnel, weapons and military equipment, two command posts, one air defense facility, three missile troops and artillery facilities of the AFRF🇷🇺.

It may be that the Trump administration believes that the balance began to tip too much towards collapse (wrong from a US perspective), as our No.1 often points out. That there is a difference in the assessment of how bad things are in Russia and that the current assessment in the US (Trump administration) is that one must hurry, so that the house of cards in Russia does not collapse.

N Eklund. I think you are close to the truth. China has problems with all kinds of raw materials, ore, oil, coal, food, etc. If China can secure a supply that cannot be shut down by a fleet of submarines and a few aircraft carriers, then it could be dangerous from a US perspective (or mostly Taiwan’s…).

👍

If the USA is to wage a war against China, China has over 200 times the shipbuilding capacity of the USA. China is a factory and they will be able to adapt. Right now, there is talk, for example, that the USA does not have the capacity needed to transport fuel to Asia if a war that the USA must engage in breaks out there.

RU is not just a gas station, they also have other natural resources, natural resources that China and the USA need. RU and China must not become BFFs.

China has four times the population of the USA, if the USA is to keep its distance from China, it will require a lot from the USA, and if one can then slow down, or at least not let China accelerate as much, much is gained.

And not to forget, if Trump can force Ukraine and RU into peace, he has shown who is in charge.
