Ender Hypersonic August 18 Share August 18 Question I have is what are being discussed on how far to go with their involvement of Kursk incursion? Are they getting cold feet that Challengers tanks are inside Russia firing at Russian troops, or are they going to say let's give them more tanks and IFV? Anyway Germany got cold feet liao. No more new aids, but they will still deliver what was promised. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender Hypersonic August 18 Share August 18 I didn't know Ukraine has the Thermobaric launchers too. Always thought Russia was the only one using it against Ukraine. Wonder which country gave them that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mearshimer already warned that once Iran reaches nuclear capable. Israel will launch pre emptive strike. Bilahari in a podcast 1-2 months back recently said he also sees this as high probability. You can argue that the story line in top gun maverick is potentially what the Israelis are surely planning already. The balance is delicate. Thankfully asean is nuclear weapon free zone. What we say here isn’t going matter one iota at the international level of geopolitics and foreign relations. We don’t need to look to TG: M to have a clue what Israel would do - they have done it for real in the past on both Iraq and Iran. And for the record, TG: M’s strike is very similar to Star War’s trench run where the entire Death Star was undone by 2 photon torpedoes into a 2 metre ventilation shaft without using targeting aids. Which itself was inspired by the 1960s film 633 squadron. And no, with the FPDA and nuclear-armed navies conducting FONOPS in the Malacca Strait and SCS, ASEAN isn’t nuclear-free - they just don’t own them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No nukes owned by asean members good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ender Hypersonic August 19 Share August 19 Frontline changes. While Ukraine gains Russian territories in Kursk, Putin is gaining quickly in the Eastern Ukriane. He may have diverted some armies to Kursk, but the bulk of them are still in Ukraine and advancing. Putin is not going to push the red button anytime soon going by frontline movements.

No he cannot go nuclear because he lives in Russia. It's not like like he can nuke Ukraine and go and live on a beach in Tahiti. So if he nukes Ukraine and the radioactive ash blows into Russia he will need to live in an underground bunker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you need for someone to be there personally to see the destruction done to Ukraine. It might change his mind. That's why Zelensky keep asking Trump to visit Ukraine. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
