Because the future does not depend on past. You were talking about what happened in the last 75 years. That has no relation to what (God forbid) may happen tomorrow.Then why did you ask the question?
Not the economic ties, but the military ties that may have worried Putin.You just don't get it, do you. It makes no difference who was the president. It was the economic ties with the west that Putin objected to.
Did I comment on something that happened in WWII?Pro tip: to preserve credibility, don’t start lecturing people on stuff you don’t know much about and haven’t paid much attention to. Lessons you have not learned are not a solid basis for making policy recommendations to others who know more about it.
The other possibility is that the others are being stupid.Repetition does not make you right. If you’re wrong, it makes you stupid.
I read a translation of paper by a Russian officer. He said it was difficult to prepare for war with the USA by studying their manual on tactics. When a battle begins they don't always follow the book.
Answer the question man from India. Should India give land claims and acquiesce to Pakisatn and China?I read a translation of paper by a Russian officer. He said it was difficult to prepare for war with the USA by studying their manual on tactics. When a battle begins they don't always follow the book.Islamic militants and Chinese are way ahead of others in springing surprises. In Galwan attack in Ladakh the Chinese used barbed-wire wrapped on wooden clubs (no gunfire). Of course, the attack did not go well for them.
JFC! There were no military ties in 2014.Not the economic ties, but the military ties that may have worried Putin.You just don't get it, do you. It makes no difference who was the president. It was the economic ties with the west that Putin objected to.
Let me answer for him - No, they shouldn't. In fact India should go and do to pakistan what Russia did to to Ukraine.Answer the question man from India. Should India give land claims and acquiesce to Pakisatn and China?
A yes or no question.
Not me, ukrainians say that.Yeah, you say a lot of shit.According to ukrainians that training is useless, just sayting
Answer the question man from India. Should India give land claims and acquiesce to Pakisatan and China?
A yes or no question.
You are still talking about things which happened 2.5 years agoI an wondering if there are more than one person posting under Barbos.
Just with my cursory knowledge of militray history the invasion was ridiculous
A convoy in the open with unprotected flanks and no coordinated air support. A stunning blunder.
Wide open to hit and and run attacks which the Ukrainians used. Apparently the Russians were not equipped with good maps and GPS, or the Russian version of GPS.
Right out of a WWII movie Ukrainians changed road signs and blew up bridges..
When I was at Lockheed there were always militray journals laying around. The Cold War Soviets kept the lower levels in the dark. No maps or briefings, just given a direction to advance.
After the failures in North Africa Eisenhower initiated headship training down to the lowest ranks.

Of course it is different. That is what Netanyahu says about the death and destruction in Gaza...I read a translation of paper by a Russian officer.

In Galwan attack in Ladakh the Chinese used barbed-wire wrapped on wooden clubs (no gunfire). Of course, the attack did not go all that well for them.
Russia was afraid that they would come. Ukraine did not do enough to remove this conception from Putin. It talked of war to free Crimea.JFC! There were no military ties in 2014.
Oh, thanks for your kind thought. Should we do the same to China too? But Modi does the thinking for us at the moment. Whatever he decides.Let me answer for him - No, they shouldn't. In fact India should go and do to pakistan what Russia did to to Ukraine.
CIA chief had a long term apartment lease in Kiev.Russia was afraid that they would come. Ukraine did not do enough to remove this conception from Putin. It talked of war to free Crimea.JFC! There were no military ties in 2014.
Yeah, it does not matter. It is practice, assessment of preparedness, etc. Chinese attackers in Galwan were not expecting Indian reinforcement so quickly in the last skirmish.Makes sense to me. What's a few artillery shells among friends, right?
Still the question regardless of any agreements why not just give Pakistan and China the Indian land they want?
If it is the right thing for Ukraine certainly it must be the right thing for India.
It is relevant to today and the poor performance pf the Russian army. Communism,Stalinism, and Putinism has bred out the kind of independent thinking that we have in the west.You are still talking about things which happened 2.5 years agoI an wondering if there are more than one person posting under Barbos.

looks like you are unaware that USSR won war with Nazi Germany.It is relevant to today and the poor performance pf the Russian army. Communism,Stalinism, and Putinism has bred out the kind of independent thinking that we have in the west.
