Big development in Ukraine? - Asia Times OK, well you said economic output, which I took to mean GDP, thus my disbelief. We've given Ukraine...
How does $1.7 trillion compare to the aid we've given to Ukraine? You're the one who claimed that the aid we've given to Ukraine is equal to...
I agree with that, but you're missing a very big 3rd component. What's NATO fighting for? Equally importantly, how much resolve does NATO's...
I think too many here only started hearing about Ukraine in 2014. If one has been following the Ukraine/Russia dynamic for a long time, one would...
Rare are wars won because one side ran out of men, it doesn't happen very often even for individual battles. They're typically won when the morale...
See how you used the word "want". No, the Russians are not good at producing what people "want". They are, however, good at producing what people...

The Germans aren't stupid, they know who did it. The blowback probably won't happen until years from now, when the German industries are on their...
Besides it not being a Leo, it's also not that relevant if it is. I'm sure some of them will be lost during this war, even the Kurds busted a few...
Right, if we're talking strategic results, I think it's a bit too early. We'll have to compare the West + Ukraine from before and after the war,...
The methodology of the Brookings paper is far beyond my understanding, but they did mention and address some of my immediate questions....
Got it, so bad news is true, good news is false. You see how that can get you a biased view, right? The debt crisis is of course impacting China,...
Reading some more about it, it seems like the impact on both sides would be limited. It appears that the bottom part of the dam is holding, so it...
Other than fusion, which is perennially decades away, it's yes to all of them. Nothing is being kept quiet, you probably just only read western...
More concerning IMO is that it supplies the cooling water to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, the largest nuclear plant in Europe. Without cooling...
