exactly,Erdogan knows this too,so we will see how the elections go if there will be another coup attempt like last time
Its a good thing that the Social Democrats back the Kurds, Turkey may well be a more potent and violent threat than Russia in years to come.
It's long conducted a campaign of genocide against the Kurds. It should have been expelled from NATO long ago for multiple reasons.
The Russian offensive has already started a few days ago in South Donetsk-Zaporozhzhia
Its going... not so well for them. Rebuffed already from several towns and villages near Orekhov and Huliapole
I absolutely agree, Turkey have a long history of engaging in genocide of their neighbours, be they Kurds, Armenians, it doesnt matter to those who seem themselves as the successors to the Ottoman Empire.
However geopolitically its important Turkey are both in NATO and aligned against Russia. A potential Turkey+Russia+Iran coalition of chaos is the opposite of what the west wants for the region.
Looks like Challengers ETA is end of March but I presume training will start very soon
One wonders who the Russian federation republics would wish to align themselves with in future. Some are very small and might wish to stay within the federation but places like Tatarstan and Dagestan would probably wish to go it alone.
It's likely they would be secured and eventually moved to a safe country for disposable
This is happening regularly for months
I don't recall fighter jets been high on the list when they have their discussions. Sure there's not much else to ask for 🤣
How about asking for ‘Nukes’….? Enough war heads to flatten Moscow and St Petersburg 😀
What could this be those Boxes dumped by accident that had electronic systems in or the Missiles that and small decoy countermeasures in them Any Ideas ?
The tanks were the red line NATO couldn't cross, Now they have crossed it, its better to give the Russians another red line that cant be crossed then the tanks red line isn't a big thing anymore
Always keep the Russians fearing what NATO might decide next and forget what's already decided
I think they realise now that the only way the war can end is for Russia to be completely driven out of Ukraine. Otherwise we could be stuck with a seemingly never ending war that goes on for years and with Russia still in position in eastern Ukraine, perhaps even into the 2030s.
By who?
Men in Yellow with large tongs.
Jets and submarines.
And Nukes there's still nukes 😂😂😂😂
Likely the UN and the atomic watch dog If I remember correctly
I suspect its significantly more likely you would need significant ground military forces to try and secure them from the inevitable warlords who would arise in the fractured state, many of whom would be not very keen to give up such power.
Dealing with the nuclear weapon issue post USSR breakup was a massive issue, yet would seem like child's play compared to handling a fractured Russia (Russia remained the obviously dominant power and "successor state" of the USSR - it is hard to know what would happen in an equivalent Russian breakup scenario).
The problem can not be dismissed so readily.
The atomic watchdog could do little but ask nicely, and the chances of being rebuffed would, I suspect, be relatively high.
Not that its a reason to not fully support Ukraine. But it is a serious concern.
Most likely some jamming equipment that have caused the ukrainans headaches lately,Russia have some good jamming equipment that can jam radios,artillery radars,satellite communications,or it could be radar frequencies to s300/400 radars etc
We will probably hear about it once countermeasures are in place
Ah yeah so those Boxes they found. And they also captured a mobile CC did they not.
They're jammin' in the name of the Lord
NATO bombing Serbia for two and a half months in 1999 would have definitely pushed the Serbs into the arms of Russia. And that attitude prevails to the present day for many Serbs. I was in Belgrade recently and in the "Pectopah" I was in, the news came on, showing Russian forces being attacked with himars or other shells. To put it mildly, the attitude and sentiment was definitely anti-Ukraine. Shouting " Slava Ukraine" there would not be recommended.
An odd bunch. Have chatted to some very nice likable until someone introduces russia goes down hill pretty fast. Your pretty safe if you speak to a Serbian speaker not always but it's a good indicator if they say it's nothing like russian.
That will be very interesting so, Putin's latest Kremlin rant is about protecting Russians from the decadent west, specifically LGBT. Any mention of Gay/Lesbianism etc. is to be removed from all educational literature, and banned from all school discussions or any public advertising etc.
Also protecting russia from those considered russian as Ukraine does not exist by sending there sones into a meat grinder never to come home.
I would guess some of the recent war crimes such as the bombing of Donetsk have hardened NATO positions and a realisation that Russia may have to be comprehensively defeated in Ukraine in order to end the war.

Found on /r/yurop.
They did back in the beginning of the invasion,some parts of the jammers Russia use
Should that not be a dove in a Leopard tank.
Didnt Russia cross the red line by invading Ukraine?they keep forgetting that
Or an Abrams?
