You see me, I'm fully aware of International Laws and the Rights and duties of States to each other, but you see, I'm not a bury your head in the sand kind of guy. I see ground realities and I indicate them as such

Unless you just want to be up in arms, nothing in anything I wrote justifies either the positions of Russia, or Ukraine, I made mere observations as a neutral analyst

I can sum up your reply to me as "if wishes were horses", this is Geo-politics, morality is usually secondary to the players

Once again, I'm an academic observer

Well back to where this all started from is the post on Hamas being a civilian resistant groups so it's unjustified to attack them. The reason why I bring up the Ukrainian draft comparison.
As long as a fighter civilian/military picks up arms, shoot rocket to attack, the rules of engagement describes them as all combatants and they can be engaged.
But how do you know separate combatants from non combatants.
This is where the isrealis has acted poorly, and it's sad thousands had loss their lives in this man made war.

You guys don't interpret well. What you should have understood is that the Iranians have the ability to assemble a nuclear bomb in a short period of time, it's the same thing as having nukes. It's just like a soldier saying he doesn't have a rifle when his rifle is disassembled, but you know he can assemble it in a very short period of time.

Exactly.

I've said the same thing here twice before.

Iran already has weapons-grade enriched uranium which is the more technical and time consuming part of making nukes.
The easier part is weaponising already enriched uranium.
Iranian officials have also said several times that they can produce nuclear weapons in weeks if the Ayatollah permits. Assembling it is clearly what they meant.

Iran is currently helping Sri Lanka to build nuclear power plants, it'll be foolhardy for them not to have nukes by now and for us to believe they don't already have it.

⚡The UK government insisted on Monday that the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands and Gibraltar was “not up for negotiation” after it said it would return a remote archipelago to Mauritius.

Britain announced on Thursday that it would hand back the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean to former colony Mauritius but that it would maintain a key military base there.

Argentine foreign minister Diana Mondino reacted by saying that Argentina would “recover full sovereignty” over the Falklands — the disputed British overseas territory in the South Atlantic Ocean.


“We celebrate this step in the right direction,” Mondino said in a post on Instagram, hailing the move as a “milestone”.

“Travelling the path we have begun, with concrete actions and not empty rhetoric, we are going to recover full sovereignty over our Malvinas Islands,” he said, using the Argentinian name for the archipelago

When asked about Mondino’s comments, Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s official spokesman told reporters that the return of the Chagos would have “no bearing on other overseas territories”.

Explosion was recorded in Iran last night Similar magnitude of the Sedan U.S Military Underground Nuclear test which recorded 4.7 on the Richter scale.

Iran already have tested and assembled it but they just want to lipstick the matter.

You are still a kid with a lot to learn, keep working hard, you will get there someday.

1. Stop copying other people's thoughts e.g "aggressor" only became s thing with pro Ukraine propaganda.

2. The fact a russian says something doesn't imply it is false and a product of propaganda, all I stated are verify able facts and if you were old enough you would have seen those with your own eyes like I did.

3.Your knowledge of history is fuzzy at best. Ukraine was created by joining Russian, polish, Hungarian and even Romanian people and lands together. Unfortunately kids like you believe Ukraine has always existed and was distinct from Russia. You don't even understand the difference between Russian empire, the USSR and russian federation.

4. Little hint: Russian federation and Ukraine didn't exist before 1991.

I guess you're the one deserving of the history lesson.

Ukrainian federation has existed long before soviet union. What forms the soviet union? A balkanisation of individuals state each with its own culture and identity.
Ukraine and Russia has always been at loggerhead from historical perspective before the union and break up same with other states. We could argue about the boundaries and what not is what, but the distinctiveness between the 2 states trace back to history.
Now the last recently well defined boundaries was drawn in last breakoff in 1991, so why would Russia all of a sudden want to change that? And you said they not AGGRESSORS? Maybe rather, INVADERS.

I don't really have too much time to waste talking to a kid who believes he's smart. You aren't smart enough to know how dumb you are.

Little hint: a soviet republic was to the USSR what a state is to the USA, just administrative blocks.

This should be a simple Google search.
Did Ukraine only start exist after 1991?
A simple logical analysis should have been from what clamor the rise for independence of the balkanised soviet union. how they broke into their different distinct units/countries?
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Ghostagain: 9:15pm On Oct 07
Google generation, zero braincells but athletic fingers for keyboard communications with your lord google. Ukraine SSR was just an administrative block of the USSR.

The fall of the USSR is what gave room to its administrative block "Ukraine SSR" to become a country "Ukraine". If Nigeria were to fall, there might be a country called Abuja. That doesn't mean that there has always been a country called Abuja.

Talking to retards might be making my own intelligence reduce little by little.

False. There's has been a republic of Ukraine before the Ukraine USR. I think you need to learn.
Thanks for bring the Nigeria comparison.

Nigeria was amalgamated in 1914, long before then we've had our classical historic borders. The Oyo empire and larger yoruboid group. The fulani, hausa and sokoto caliphate protectorate and that of other minor or major groups. All these borders follows coherent cultures and beliefs.

Using same logic if Nigeria should divide in the future would we now say the western Nigeria, Yoruboid territories has never existed, forming only after the break up?

Even now many still despises Lugard for the amalgamation, and some are clamoring for independence yet in this same unified Nigeria.
In some cases no matter how long a unified entity, people would still clamor for independence and they would follow their original historic demarcation based on common values and culture shared.

cool Your frustration is showing, and it stems from a devoid of logical counteractive response. I understand why you choose the insulting tone.

But if it's one thing you learn today. The Ukraine we now know did not start from 1991 neither does it start from the soviet union. Whatever entity of Ukraine it was called in the past, it maintain its quo as an independent state a testament to it current resolve to maintain its sovereign charting its own course against any cohesive interest.

⚡South Korean JTBC is reporting that Poland's procurement of the FA-50 light fighter/Attacker is running into problems as KAI now says they will not integrate US made A2A weapons on them.

Poland states that such integration is part of the agreement for the procurement of 48 FA-50 while KAI says no such promises have ever been made while claiming the contract only ever called for a feasibility study of a potential integration.

⚡An international nuclear fusion project including the EU and Russia will continue despite a “rough sea” and “difficulties”, its chief said Monday during a visit to Russia.

“If you are running a marathon, you have to keep going. You can maybe slow down a little bit,” Pietro Barabaschi, director-general of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project, told reporters.

Installed at a site in southern France, the project aims to prove the feasibility of fusion as a large-scale and carbon-free source of energy.

The decades-old plan has a history of technical challenges and cost overruns.


“I think it’s important to keep a certain pace in research,” Barabaschi said, comparing the current international context to “trying to cross rough sea”.

ITER was set in motion after a 1985 summit between US president Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.

Its seven partners are China, the European Union, India, Japan, South Korea, Russia and the United States.

Facts 💯
The British and the Americans only entered the war after the Germans had a crushing defeat in the USSR. When the British and the Americans were marching against the Germans they met a very weak opposition and resistance, and this was because the toughest German army formations and their war machines had already succumbed to an overwhelming defeat in Stalingrad, Minsk, Kharkov, Leningrad, Kursk, Smolensk, Sevastopol, and Moscow. In that war the Germans put in their very best efforts and threw all their resources in a war of attrition there weren’t prepared for.

I guess wasted alot of time arguing with someone too shortsighted to only stick to contemporary history. He said 'history in reverse' I guess your history is revised forward.
All what I posted just need a bit of thinking analysis which I'm disappointed you barely applied. Instead you round them up in a history fairytale, or religious connotation even when I have not made any reference to any religious agenda.

I just laugh at some assertions by people who don't know history. Ukraine is made up of 3 parts; Western Ukraine from Polish, Hungarian and Romanian lands, Central Ukraine (e.g Kiev) from ancient slavish kingdoms related to the Russians, and Eastern Ukraine which is ethnically Russia and speaks Russian. Crimea and Donbass were added to Ukraine SSR by the Soviets. They were part of the Russian empire.
