No no no Germany will try to spend 2% GDP in 2024 and that is if the economy allows them. Also why Xi care if Europeans are going to concentrate in Europe instead of Asia? like if Japan rise their defense to GDP to 2% then that is another issue.

He didn’t target anybody. He’s alright!
it looks like they're keeping their ENTIRE strategic aviation and naval aviation on reserve. They seem to be expecting foreign intervention.
As I pointed out earlier, ATGMs only shine in open areas. In close quarters they're a lot less effective. RPG-7s are underpowered for modern tanks but something like an RPG 27 will do just as well.
And, you would be correct! Which is why I’m concerned as to how far a desperate country might go to not lose!

All you require for effective ATGM operation is distance. From the footage we've seen there is ample clearance between Ukrainian resistance and the Russian armor. It doesn't help the Russians that they tend to drive in columns as if they're oblivious to the fact that there is armed resistance hiding and waiting.
Could be just covid social distancing
What’s with the Cold War mindset? Nobody wants to be “your” enemy, a full decoupling is not good for both parties, not to mention that it’s nearly impossible. China has a lot on her plate realizing the shared prosperity promised to the people. And externally there are many issues too, third world countries waiting to be lift out of poverty and to be integrated into the world economy, conflicts needing to be negotiated, and COVID to fight … All these CAN be achieved if the world work together, the US just have to accept they are not a unipolar power anymore and be willing to make compromises to regional powers, and own up to the colonial/slavery/imperial/interventionist/… history, and just deal with their internal issues instead of exporting them.
let’s make roads and ports and trades, not wars, cold or hot.
