Yup, a troll and flame-baiting as well huh? Reported.Oh poor you. Most people would rather be friends with China. The only people preventing it are the Chinese government. Claiming half the world then planning to take it isn't the way to wins friends and influence people. But yeah, big old mean West.

So contribute if you want, but leave the moralizing at home.
Not really, most Japanese, South Koreans, Hong Kongers and Taiwanese view China much more positively when China is poor. When China becomes much more wealthy, these people can't no longer look down at mainland Chinese. Their superior complex took a crash and since they always feel inferior towards Westerners in the first place they got a dilemma. In order to resolve the dilemma that they are not better, these people become anti-China.
As a Hong Konger, I know so many these kinds of people. When the wealthy mainland Chinese came to Hong Kong spent money at those luxury stores and those employees bend forwards to please them, Hong Kongers' sense of superiority took a nosedive. That's why South Koreans, Hong Kongers, Japanese, Taiwanese hate China and mainland Chinese because they are jealous and envy. It has nothing to do with your version of being with the West becomes richer. It is more like China is getting richer without being with the West that hurt their feelings.
For all intents and purposes the Ukranian navy no longer exists in any capacity. They still had a few operational coastal missile batteries that struck a Russian cargo ship but since then it’s unknown what became of them; most likely they were abandoned as Russian forces pushed along the coast.
Report away. What did you expect? Did you even read what he wrote?
No, not really.
I totally get the reason for US imperialism, since I studied McKinder and other geopolitical scholars. If I was america, I would also try to constantly destabilize the continental powers to keep them from becoming stronger than myself. Willful "allies" like Ukraine, Japan, Taiwan etc are useful idiots for me.
But the US should not be surprised if one day a power rises up that will end their hegemony. Can the Americans expect any mercy? I doubt it.
With all due respect, one road can simultaneously let through only this much.
Especially when you are trying to not ride over every single civilian vehicle you meet, and leave some space to maneuver.
p.s. furthermore, it's widely considered now that precisely lack of immediate second echelon - i.e. attempt not to fight a proper war - was the mistake here. This left logistics vulnerable.
Russian POW from incursion, the one that rolled in with bronekapsula and Tigr.
Ukrainians are forcing him and threatening to shoot him if he doesn't say slava Ukraini. He eventually says... Glory to Ukraine... And to Russia...
He has some balls, all POWs in this war just parrot what their captors say. Hope exchange can be made.
