Girl dropped bomb on hospital, hundreds dead.

Love the "we don't like China because it'll prevent us from exploiting poor people in East Asia"

Didn't Ukraine literally just launch missile/artillery attacks at random civilian targets in Donetsk... The same thing they've been doing for almost a decade?

Isn't there ample evidence that Ukraine's been forcibly conscripting citizens, many of whom are ethnically Russian and don't feel that motivated to fight against, well, Russians?

Look at a demographic map. Ethnic Ukrainians are in the northwest, ethnic Russians are in the south and east. Guess where Russia is attacking?

By the winter of 1941, Barbarossa had failed. By the time the Western Front was opened in 1944, Army Group South had collapsed, Army Group North was failing, and Army Group Center was in the process of being encircled. Germany had lost, it was just a question of when. In the meantime, the entire North African campaign cost the Germans less resources than the Dnieper-Carpathian Offensive.

Friendly reminder that prior to Pearl Harbour, the US was sponsoring Japan's war crimes in China. The US made up the bulk of Japan's iron, copper, oil, steel, and wheat supply... Essentials for industrializing and waging war. Even with this massive economic power backing them, Japan had been fought to a standstill by 1940. By 1944, the Nationalists were more concerned with containing the Communists than they were with containing the Japanese.

In the case of both Germany and Japan, powerhouses at the peak of their power were ground down to a stalemate against a rapidly industrializing nation.

Anyone surprised by this is kidding themselves. Only a few countries have developed sophisticated cyberattack capabilities and even fewer are actually interested in China.

Plus, ever since China went around and started executing CIA operatives in China, the US has been operating rather blind with regards to China.

He is, quite literally, a Democrat. The fact that he is a Democrat sort of draws the line for where the "center" in the US is.

Dude's from England, cut him some slack for being oblivious. Cuba was only part of the British empire for like a year.

A fair number of bombings have been attributed to defective Ukrainian munitions...

Sovereign nations like Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, and Cuba, right?

... right?

Then lastly on Sweden. First of all, it is historic that now Finland is member of the Alliance. And we have to remember the background. The background was that President Putin declared in the autumn of 2021, and actually sent a draft treaty that they wanted NATO to sign, to promise no more NATO enlargement. That was what he sent us. And was a pre-condition for not invade Ukraine. Of course we didn't sign that.

The opposite happened. He wanted us to sign that promise, never to enlarge NATO. He wanted us to remove our military infrastructure in all Allies that have joined NATO since 1997, meaning half of NATO, all the Central and Eastern Europe, we should remove NATO from that part of our Alliance, introducing some kind of B, or second class membership. We rejected that.

So he went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders.

At least quote the relevant section ffs

Turns out that an offensive is really hard. Who would've thought? Definitely not centuries of military doctrine.
