This is the second time that claim surfaces in little time. Both from indian sources. India is not overwhelming friendly to China. Sincerely, looks more an attempt from the indian side to lay rocks between China and Russia than a true ambition from China to grab Vladivostock.And so it begins Putin, you dumb potato.
I've been wanting to troll some orcs with "Free Haishenwai NOW!" but I was afraid of Kharmic backlash. It would be worse for AUKUS if China got Port Arthur back. The PLA Navy ships seems to be able to make it out to sea and back under their own power.And so it begins Putin, you dumb potato.
If the British had recognized Manchukuo the Japanese, as Australia was pushing in 1935, Japan might have once again been on our side. Why we GAC about China to the point of risking world war, IDK. As Napoleon said, "China is a sleeping giant, let her sleep, for when she wakes, she will shake the world."Can we invite Japan in? It would've been nice to have them in NATO.
Yup, I know enough geography for that. Hence my wistful tone. But how 'bout AUKUS? I must admit I'm feeling raucous for AUKUS.Japan is a member of the G7 nations and all those nations, save for Japan, are NATO members.
Japan's physical location excludes it from actually joining NATO, though.
Anyone heard/read anything about a surprise Ukrainian offensive near Kharkiv. I started to see some tweets just minutes ago.
Is it real? It's a distraction from Kherson offensive.? Was Kherson the distraction?
And so it begins Putin, you dumb potato.
And destiny is all (apologies to Uhtred of Babbenburg).China's One Child policy has created a demographic arc that will see India surpass China in a few years. Demography is destiny.
Starve aggressors, don't feed them! Stuff their mouths with a taste of their own "medicine". Let 'em reap what they sow.Putin's nibbling away at former Soviet sattelites amd an open assault on anotjer such former satellite comes rifht out of the pages of the middle 20th century - today's people do not understand that you cannot negotiate with such a person who'll smile, shake your hand, sign whatever treaty you put before them and then use that treaty as toilet paper as they proceed to carry out their conquest.
Me too, but I date from the bomber crisis, and grew up to the strains of "duck and cover" and the two tone wail of the air raid siren. Fallout shelter in the school basement, complete with Civil Defense supplies (including WWII 10th Mountain Division skis). Tense times during the Cuban missile standoff. Local airport hosting B47s and KC97s. Air Guard F89s on 24 hr cockpit alert armed with Genie nuke AAMs. B52 base across the lake likely high on Kruschev's target list.Growing up, Russia was a very real threat (I was born during the Missile Crisis) and I remember clearly, the nuclear attack drills in school and the wall of the air raid siren tests when I was a kid.
