Hope all the military aid has come to you to stop this cruel war!
January - March:
Taiwan's presidential campaign heats up, with a pro-independence candidate gaining significant traction. This candidate's platform includes a potential referendum on Taiwan's formal independence.
China responds with strong rhetoric, warning Taiwan against any moves towards independence and conducting naval exercises near the Taiwan Strait.
April - June:
The U.S. conducts a series of freedom of navigation operations in the South China Sea, challenging China's territorial claims. These operations are accompanied by joint naval exercises with allies such as Japan, Australia, and the Philippines.
A minor incident occurs in the South China Sea when a Philippine fishing boat collides with a Chinese Coast Guard vessel. Both sides blame each other, leading to a diplomatic standoff.
July - September:
The pro-independence candidate wins Taiwan's presidential election. Celebrations erupt in Taiwan, but China responds by cutting off diplomatic ties and increasing military patrols around the island.
In response to China's actions, the U.S. sends an aircraft carrier group to the region, signaling its commitment to Taiwan's defense.
October - December:
A U.S. reconnaissance plane and a Chinese fighter jet have a near-miss in the airspace near Taiwan. Both sides accuse each other of aggressive behavior.
ASEAN countries, concerned about the escalating tensions, call for an emergency summit to address the situation. The U.N. also gets involved, urging both sides to de-escalate.
Backchannel diplomatic efforts intensify. Russia offers to mediate between the U.S. and China, while European leaders urge restraint.
By the end of the year, a tentative agreement is reached. China agrees to reduce its military presence around Taiwan, and the U.S. agrees to limit its naval operations in the South China Sea. Taiwan, while not formally declaring independence, gains more international recognition and support.

In a few years from now, Chinese astronauts from PRC will be walking on the Moon, with red flag waving in vacuum, but meanwhile there will still be some cocksucker on Earth saying
>But acshually, the real China is this little island of Taiwan, and they have to rule over this bigger more succesfull nation next to them and only this politician elected in this tiny island of Taiwan have the right to speak for over 1.3 billion of Chinese who not voted for him. I am actually very smart, and this is fact, you know. When i expressed this on reddit, i got 1000 upvotes, so it must be true."
Imagine in case of Sino-American war - China would start to mass produce these kamikaze sea drones and just pumping them into ocean. Whole Pacific will be a battle zone, with ships just daily dying same as soldiers on Russo-Ukraine border.
the exchange of good via ocean will be risky. Ships will be just "disappearing" crying SOS and then going dark, captains will refuse to go, some island nations that rely on sea will be in crisis
Looks like so obvious false flag? y/n

They could probably jam a tunnel with that.

They also double attack sometimes, two troopers with two rpgs shooting the same target, to counter reactive armor.
Btw in all the videos I've ever seen when they fire with assault rifles they all shoot high. They point higher than the horizon to begin with, and then the recoil pushes the barrel higher and higher. Sure some cases they might target targets on elevation, but not all the time.
Luhanks, Donestk and Zaporizhzhia are now 1 year old russian republics. Kherson and Odessa will be next, hopefully.
Post some fucking Republics of the Donbas!

And one had the means to travel then there are many options of socialist guerrillas in the world.
There's the new people's army or the communist party in phillippines, the kurds in Turkey, Syria and Iran, Arauco-Malleco and Weichán Auka Mapu in chile, the disidencias del farc and EPL in colombia, Oromo Liberation Front in ethiopia, Epanastatikos Agonas and rebel sect in greece, communist party of India, communist party of iran, FAI in italy, EPP in paraguay, and of course, the zapatistas and the EPR en México.
But before, one should read marx, lenin and dussel.

Dear diary, today putin was a fag inside a container box and cried and peed himself. The azov batalion and assorted banderists danced around in in a circle while chanting "sub-human orc♪ is worst than pork♪". No children, elederly, homosexual, tranny or mentally chanllenged person could be seen for hundreds of miles. Just manly men, all alone, upholding banners of Stephan bandera and Joe Biden. Some had Trump imagery too.
Then the russians confused one of our tanks for one of their own and we blown them to bits! LOL! This really happened. By the evening I was tired so I had some russian women's genitals for breakfast. I was so hungry I only stopped eating russian pussy to scream "HAIL!" and take deep breaths at regular intervals.
The night fell and captain father priest zelensky came to visit and he said he loves us and gave me a javelin. God bless him, he is the less corrupt and more smarterer. Now I need to say my prayers and go to sleep, good night!
What, exactly, makes a war a "world war"?
It can't be because the war had battles across every continent of the world, because the First World War didn't have any battles on the Americas, and the Second World War didn't have any battles on Antarctica. And yet those two wars are considered world wars.
Is it because those two world wars had battles across more than one continent? There have been numerous wars (besides the first and second world wars) that had battles across multiple continents. The Crimean War, the Napoleonic Wars, French Revolutionary Wars, American Revolutionary War, Seven Years' War, War of the Austrian Succession, Anglo-Spanish wars, War of the Spanish Succession, Nine Years' War, Dutch-Portuguese War, Ottoman-Hapsburg wars, Byzantine-Ottoman Wars, Crusades, Arab-Byzantine Wars, Byzantine-Sassanid wars, Great Roman Civil War, First Mithridatic War, Roman-Persian Wars, Roman-Seleucid War, First Punic War, Second Punic War, Wars of the Diadochi, Wars of Alexander the Great... just to name a few. And yet none of these are considered "world wars".
Is it because the two world wars had enormous casualties? The First World War is believed to have had somewhere between 16,563,868 – 40,000,000 casualties. There have been numerous wars with as many (if not more) casualties than the First World War. The Taiping Rebellion (20,000,000 – 100,000,000 casualties), Qing dynasty conquest of the Ming dynasty (25,000,000 – 25,000,000), Conquests of Timur (15,000,000 – 20,000,000), Mongol conquests (30,000,000 – 40,000,000), An Lushan Rebellion (13,000,000 – 36,000,000), and the Three Kingdoms wars of China (36,000,000 – 40,000,000).
There are some who are now saying that the Cold War and War on Terror should be considered world wars.
So what is it? What makes a war a "world war"?

I'm reading disturbing reports about the Russian military.
Basically, a lot of the soldiers sent to Ukraine weren't told about the situation. They are young conscripts and were forced or tricked into going, had their phones taken away and worried families are now searching for their sons.
On the front, the Russian military uses mobile crematoriums to immediately hide any evidence of losses.
Thoughts?

Comedy gold.
Well Putin has to show he can't be extorted. But perhaps with the fresh decoration he can be sent into retirement. Health issues, or whatnot. And/or claiming he wants to focus on his own private military company, what's it called. But then this could be too transparent since it was already said that Dyumin takes over, if he does it wouldn't matter they can't save face.
What a situation.
