Russia actions are characteristic of a weak declining power who is boxed in a corner, with no other option except war.

China action are characteristic of a powerful rising superpower who has the luxury to choose the time, place, and location of reunification it's own terms at it's own convenience.

Also, rather than Taiwan, a better comparator would be Mongolia/Vietnam or any ex-Chinese colonies that China (reluctantly) recognized as sovereign. Taiwan is part of an unresolved civil war.

To add to that, since China is a rising power, delaying a war means that China got more time to build up its economy and industry.

That's also called "SEAD/DEAD".




Fighters don't have unlimited flares. You're not going to see flares in every 3 second clip.

Also, if Ukranian Migs wanna go on a suicide mission, they would still target the primary threat which is the Russian air force, not helos. They are much lower on the priority list.


In any case, it's clear there is no actual confirmation of many of these claims....

So take all of this with a HUGE grain of salt. This is all the fog of war.

I can understand your skepticism but when applying the limited information we have we can reasonably draw preliminary conclusions of events, like you said it’s impossible to “confirm” something when we currently aren’t in the Ukraine experiencing it first hand. However without providing context and attempting to draw reasonable conclusions it makes the whole point of information dissemination irrelevant if we simply remain skeptical of all news instead of attempting to piece together the information we do have. I’m not denying that there’s reason to be skeptical, especially when there’s a vast amount of disinformation being put out, however some things I believe we can reasonably draw conclusions to.

Yea but some of the claims are MASSIVE dude. Both from a tactical and operational perspective. The claim that Ukranian Migs are covering a base that is being re-taken by Ukranian forces is not a trivial claim.

It needs proper verification and citation.

I would think that if that AFB was retaken and Ukranian Migs were flying overhead, it would be everywhere on Fox news by now. I don't see a single citation (not even by an American MSM source) which backs a lot of this stuff up.
