Ukrainian War Developments

The Ukrainian labs, maybe. It will depend on the evidence collected by Russia.

But not other bio labs, in particular those in the US. If China did bring it up, in a counter measure, the US could demand UN inspection on the Wuhan Virology Institute. Not that China is hiding anything, it's about dignity and sovereignty. Neither side would cave in. Such motion in the UN would not go anywhere.

China allowed the visit by WHO. That's it.

WHO is UN body charged for medical activity. So case of Wuhan lab is done and over by UN.

Yellen lied about inflation to push the nearly $2 trillion spending bill through congress and she also lied about the US having tools to fight inflation. Kinda like Powell to.

Truthfully, it’s very unlikely Yellen or Powell doesn’t actually know what’s gonna happen. They almost certainly know the consequences but it’s their jobs to lie and not create panic. However, their elitist friends probably knows already.

She is just another Dr. Fouci who rejected the usefulness of face mask in the early stage of the pandemic even though he as a medical doctor should know very well why he himself and all his colleagues use masks for a reason.

Tanks are the Cavalry Archer.
Lancers are Mech infantry.
Catapults are Air Power.
... according to theory.



Technicals have always been part of armies, but they are only relevant in small-scale battles in constricted terrain.

They can't survive in the open against a combined arms force.

I'm not sure about tanks being cavalry archers when technicals are faster, nimbler, stealthier and their ATGMs outrange tank round (although tanks can fire ATGMs too).
I feel tanks are becoming more akin to knights from the middle ages, especially with their ability to form armored pushes into fortified areas.

If you look carefully at the video second by second, the attack by the Ukrainian ATGM team did not succeded in their ambush. They were attacked by 2 tanks behind the one that was hit, and probably they were eliminated by the tank gun fire

Also, the tank that was hit and burst into flame and smoke kept on moving, and the flame extinguished. The missile seen to be just skid the hull of the tank and caused explosion and fire on something on top of the hull, the missile landed at the road side after hitting the tank. Probably the fuse of the ATGM failed to detonate.

The fire and smoke of the tank was probably from the reactive armour module.

From this National Geography experiment, one can see that the explosion of the reactive armour module is pretty dramatic. But the the tank turret is intact.

[VIDEO] EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE shows 200 Russian Spetsnaz taking control of Gostomel airport about 2 weeks ago. The most revealing part to us from this footage is the Ka-52 helicopter differentiating angle of attacks and specific weapons. At the end, you can hear the KA-52 helicopter’s voice assistant saying “attack from the front by stinger” at which point it deployed electronic counter measures. Pretty hard to shoot down those Ka-52s

video on RT. It has external fuel tanks in every Ka-52. airfield seems not very developed so it will be closer to battlefield.
choppers are moving in formation not stand alone chopper. i am not sure how manpads deal with formations. with with both dumb and smart payload.

I think partition is against the will of the Ukrainian people. but given the fact that east and west Ukraine had existed separately for a long time, partition maybe doable.

which ukrainian people?

the ukrainian people of the eastern ukraine or that of the west ukraine?
