No it is not. The war is in Ukraine.
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

What about the mobile Russian rocket shooters?
The ones with like 8 cannons pointed upwards?
Gonna need a screenshot so my eyes can follow this but I see something at 9 sec right above the explosive cloud that hurdles above and out of the pic to the right. Is that what you guys are referencing?
Would likely take out the wiring between the hull and the rocket pod. A good shot might burn out the cab.
I would not want to face a contingent of folks like him in battle. He is gonna be a force to reckon with, given the right opportunity.
I hope they know what they're doing, sounds very risky (course what the hell do I know?!?). They're doing a good job of bleeding out the Russians in the current situation.
Again, I hope they know what they're doing.
I don't think I'm blaming anyone who didn't go. And Macron appears to still hope to be a mediator.
France is also probably like the US. Their President isn't going anywhere without their security people approving.
Hitler gave Manstein the ability to employ this strategy after the fall of Stalingrad in the spring of 1943 and the Germans won their last great victories of pretty much the rest of the war.
I don't know if it's ironic ironic or Alanis Morrisette "ironic" in relation to the current war that the highpoint of the German counteroffensive in the spring of 1943 was retaking Kharkov, or as we now know it Kharkiv.
The weather or spring thaw led to the cessation of the counter offensive, which left a big bulge in the German lines, leading to the big battle at Kursk.
Even though the Germans retook Kharkov, destroying large numbers of Soviet troops, the spring thaw stopped the counter offensive, and we all know what impact that had on future operations.
I live in Colorado and all of our electricity comes from coal. We burn it much cleaner than China does due to our regulations.
Man, I'm agreeing with this guy, but you're right. NATO is NATO, I doubt any NATO country or countries in Europe could operate militarily independent of the rest of the alliance.
It looks like China may send military aide to Russia

Poppycock. France operates militarily in Africa, they’re part of NATO. US invaded Iraq and Afghanistan and are part of NATO. Turkey intervened militarily in Libya in 2020, they are part of NATO.
About time! We have to do everything to help Ukraine eliminate the Russian artillery and rocket launchers bombarding their cities and killing civilians. We have a drone that can independently target and destroy 18 tanks in one sortie. Real game changer here if we get our drones involved.
This is one article with three others disputing this. The fact that China stocks went up today seems to suggest this is not a fact. China for all its bluster does not want sanctions. Say what you will, but they let Russia be the Guinea pig, they will not follow in their footsteps.It looks like China may send military aide to Russia

Yes let’s be sure we tell the Russians exactly what we’re doing. But truly I’m just wondering why we haven’t sent over several hundred already.
I have Yum China stock and it’s going to have to go up a TON to get back where it was two months ago.
Your personal war on Chinese arteries?
He said the Euro countries’ ability to operate independently, so toss what the US does essentially alone.
And he’s right.
When the French bomb Mali it’s like 4 Mirage fighters to send a message and a few dozen guys on the ground while they provide equipment to the locals.
Turkey has sent some material, and a very limited set of things like SP artillery and air defenses, but they relied on Syrian mercs for their ground contribution. Good read on the recent parts of the conflict here. The part about the Turks developing wild weasel tactics with their drones is cool.

It appears that the drones from Turkey have been very effective. At this point they may be free anyway, but they cost a fraction of what the super duper US drones cost.
Plus apparently, the Turkish drones come with Turks to operate them!

Turkish-made Bayraktar armed drones deployed by the Ukrainian army to destroy Russian military targets in the recent conflict were apparently operated by Turkish personnel provided by the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to the disposal of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s government in Kyiv.

I wonder if Ukraine at this point has a net GAIN in tanks.
