US will be the first one to shoot it down, or at least manipulate it in a way so that it gets the authority to command a combined EU army akin to South Korea/Japan. I'm sure I don't need to convince anyone about the paranoid desire in US NatSec establishment for total security.

First UK and now Singapore, two of three largest offshore RMB clearing centers are now in effect hobbled by sanction compliance issues if China wants to aid Russia. All eyes will be on HK next.
I'm getting Rafael Spike ATGM ads on this website, so why not Norinco or Poly ads?
4300 deaths and 146 tanks is exactly the same number, not similar, to what Ukraine reported as losses. That should tell you it was a hack, or more likely a random PDF created.
In my opinion China should go all out supporting russia in this war except actual military commitment. Besides its direct effect on russia, it sends a clear message to west that their influence can be directly challenged first time since fall of ussr. That will make them think twice before salami slicing. Like what Mao has said "throwing out one punch to avoid 100 punch coming in." This is like korean war. This has serious remification across the globe. Should Russia win it could buy china more time to develop.
I have a feeling that the increase in military spending will be eaten away by salary increases, frivolous spending ie. $100 coffee mugs, and MIC grift as in case of most liberal democracies. But Europe can prove me wrong.
So some follow-on from the DPR report of ending general mobilization.
Could be this case.
Is this just posturing? Does EU have tons of SU-27 and Mig-29 jets to provide to UAF? Or will Ukrainian pilots magically learn to operate an F-35 in the next week to stave off a collapse in Kiev? Almost as useless as Putin's random ICBM deployment, but not quite.
