The US and the UK continued to sell weapons, oil and many things to Japan that enabled Japan to invade China in the first place. When Japan ambition got out of hand, then the US decided to impose embargo. What a joke? You want to talk about how Imperial UK helped imperial Japan became a major power in Asia.

No need, I have already seen models of battleships built in my home town of Newcastle for the IJN in the early 20th century:)

Such ships were used by the IJN to give the Russian Navy a number of mighty thrashings in 1904-5!

Even with all those recorded 'fails', Russia is advancing ridiculously fast and outrunning its supply lines.
And of course it means lots of rear support convoys get taken out.

It's still bad to get easily ambushed, but Ukraine is in a worse spot because of the speedy advance even if the Russians are stalled at some places. Things are going to change when both sides manage to consolidate.

Xinhua reporter Lu Jinbo stationed in Belarus drove to Kiev over night. He tried to reach Beresteiska metro station in Kiev where a gun fight happened in the night between 25th and 26th. He was prevented to proceed 500 meters before.


The metro station is at 50.458611,30.419722

He was standing at around this point

There are many people and nations that grab huge benefits out of instable situations. I think China tends to be too obsessed with stability and to be risk-averse. I always see "no need", "don't play with fire" attitude and the inwardly attitude that focuses on internal advancement, here too. I think China has lost many opportunities and potentials by wanting to avoid dangers and conflicts.

Being neutral means it's hard for other countries to consider China as their ally, and that makes them choose the US who provides protection to its allies and takes their side.

I don’t think that’s a preference but a rational strategy to compete with the US on different tracks. You see the US interventionist policy might appeal to smaller countries, they also risk pissing off the regional powers, and that is basically what actually happened. Their ally can be proven to be burdens, involving them in unnecessary conflicts while providing very little benefit for the US. China’s neutral stance is more palatable for regional powers and developing countries, and more manageable since China is still developing.

A more rigorous attempt at documenting equipment losses in this war. Its been posted before, but I think its worth posting again just to remind people that propaganda is not reality.

So far by their count, Russians have lost 107 and Ukraine has lost 90 vehicles.

This website is pro Ukraine but their attempt at keeping track of things I think is legit.
