Remember the same law that prevents the US military from taking down these drones is the same law that prevents the US military from being used against Americans. And Trump is also talking about that. China or Iran is behind it. What a good excuse to repeal the law under the guise it’s a national security threat.

It's mostly the pro-Russian pretending like they have only altruistic goals and never hurt non combatants. The reality if you know from Ukrainian on the ground is that they're essentially doing what Israel wants to do with their neighbors. Displace and kill everyone that doesn't subject themselves. Except they're more succesful as they've driven away millions and killed about as many as well.
Not really. If Russia had just razed every city regardless of military presence, this war would have been over long ago. I mean, the estimated deaths in Gaza sit between 600k and 1m, we are talking about half of the population exterminated in a year while the Ukraine war's civilian death toll have yet to break 15k in 3 years of all out war.

There is no contradiction between winning on the battlefield and decapitating enemy leaders. Quite the contrary, because without leaders Ukraine would have lost on the battlefield long ago and would have become a new Syria faster, completely harmless to its neighbors.

If "decapitating enemy leaders" doesn't affect the outcome or your goals, then its just a PR coup and little else plus a waste of usable intel resources that might get outed for it. Basically what Ukraine does

"Experts say Abrams tanks will bolster Taiwan's ability to repel PLA landings
M1A2T tanks and AH-64E Apache helicopters could strengthen Taiwan's defenses" by Keoni Everington

Ah yes, the heavy mbts like Abrahams will definitely do well in the mountainous terrain in Taiwan.

Zelensky was more useful to the Russians alive than dead. They were under constant pressure by their partners/friendly stats to have discussions with Ukraine. The Russians being open for talks and the reluctant agreement to negotiations being hosted by partners like BRICS, India, China etc. Those same partners went to Ukraine who told them to buzz off and slammed the door in their face. Giving Russia a diplomatic way out of the foreign relations dilemma with their friends/neutral partners. Now there isn’t much news about non-western aligned countries attempting diplomacy or negotiations.

Are they going to discriminate land ownership?
Seems like the idea that spy drones don't install ultra-bright lights is just too abstract for the American mind to process.

Imagine a country with average IQ of 70 going to war against a country with IQ of 110....

Actually this could explain a lot about why Americans are obsessed with stealth or don't think China has any submarines.

Yes hence why not China talk? That’s how you shake down American confidence. The Chinese don’t need to lie. The “truth” is right there in their own media. So there’s nothing wrong in using it.
They do, Chinese companies say they have the best EVs, they don’t steal IP, they aren’t starting wars, but the general western population is either too stupid or too crazy.

Canada is a great example of talk-talk-talk. The Prime Minister’s Office just released a list of 300 guns to be banned (including the T97) talking about showing the commitment to safety, meanwhile a dozen jewellery stores were just robbed, none of them with T97s surely.

People here are still talking about Huawei stealing from Nortel, that’s 20 years ago, totally irrelevant at this point. We were barely doing 3G in the world let alone a poorer China then, and it’s 5G now.

Another example from the internet, China stole the IP for the Su-27 and Su-33 prototype! Another stupid bit of history. A plane like the J-16D doesn’t even exist in the Russian military. The Su-33 prototype was 30 years old, smartphones were more powerful than the computers used back then to do the design. Materials and manufacturing are all more advanced, EMALs was basically sci-fi, but Westerners sincerely believe that China would be lost without it.

If people are going to be so stupid and ignorant, no amount of talking will convince them. Basically like your Marine acquaintance.
