Why Ukraine is a good bet and why nobody should force them to talk with Putin when they are whipping his ass with such enthusiasm and success.

I'm proud to introduce my brother from another mother, coolest sergeant I ever knew, Bogdan, who spent 7 months in the russian prison. This is his story, as crazy as it is.

drones will really come into their own in urban fighting....house to house. they can clear a block at a time using artillery and drones

Here is what an FPV racing drone can do in a ruin as far as scouting goes, 100 grams of HE could make it a suicide drone. This would be typical of a fought over urban environment in Ukraine. Here he carries a gopro, but it could be a bomb. This is Steele Davis from Atlanta, a very skilled FPV pilot. A dji might do as well, but he has a powerful video transmitter on the drone at 5.8ghz

As you can see it can scout a ruin pretty quick and would be harder to hit than a commercial drone, the pilot flies this thing, he doesn't remote control it with a phone. Old fashioned complete manual control and no obstacle avoidance or auto leveling and hovering, seat of your pants flying. This is called Bando flying, for abandoned building or site.

Sure, they can make a few of them with smuggled technology from the west, but their problem will be mass production and the electronics to run it. It doesn't look particularly impressive to me, and I've seen a video of one used successfully in Ukraine. To make it laser proof ya got to make it shiny and that means it reflects radar easily. It has to be catapult launched and transported by vehicle.

He probably told Xi what everybody else with eyes and a brain told him. It's better to knock on Vlad's back door in Asia than to try and kick in the front door of the west by invading Tawain. The vast majority of the world's most advanced microchips are made in Tawain and onshoring the industry takes years and many billions of dollars. China gets much of its advanced technology through Tawain and they are a major semiconductor supplier to their electronics industry. Invading Tawain would hurt them economically most of all, just in trade with Tawain alone and they are already on shaky domestic financial ground.

Everybody's dependence on Tawain for chips would bring an immediate and dire response not just from America, but from plenty of others who utterly depend on Taiwan microprocessors. Going after the remains of the collapsing Russian empire with soft power would be far less risky and profitable. Everything China needs is in that direction, oil, gas minerals and other resources with rail and highway links already built into central Asia in some cases. Trade in oil and gas will mean there will also be markets for Chinese goods too because they will have oil money. Even though China's economy might not be as large as once thought, it is still plenty big enough to dominate central Asia and even future break away Russian republics with soft power. Internal continental lines of communications and close proximity makes it more secure too. Kazakhstan stretches from the Chinese border to the Caspian Sea and is rich in oil and gas, as are their neighbors. It would be central to any Chinese near term strategy in central Asia and they recently gave them security assurances as the move away from Russia and towards China. Several time zones of Siberia Forest lay just to the north in the decaying Russian Federation, and it is divided into several "autonomous" republics and ethnicities.

Starlink would make this thing jamming proof and make virtual operation possible, it could operate planet wide, not just in the black sea, the only limitation would be fuel and maintenance. Lots of allies might be looking to cut deals with Elon for military purposes so Uncle Sam will need to be involved. Put a harpoon and stingers on gimbals on it to deal with air threats and it can sink big ships too, the starlink will have plenty of bandwidth for multiple HD video and data feeds for a crew to remote control it.

the Taiwanese should very openly install explosives in all the equipment to make chips...not enough to kill workers, or destroy buildings, but enough to render every piece of equipment scrap metal. then, just let it be known that if you invade Taiwan, all you're going to get is the rest of the world hating your fucking guts...

Negotiate with who and over what?
Who do you want to throw under the bus?
Who do you want to appease and reward?
These people have no word to give and have broken it repeatedly, you might as well take Trump's word, or Hitler's. Appeasing and rewarding them is the path to nuclear war, defeating them or containing them are the only options. Nobody is gonna sell Ukraine down the river and Tawain simply can't be, they are too valuable and so is South Korea. It is up to the people of these places to call the shots, they live in liberal democracies, or close enough.

Uncle Sam has no business negotiating with Russia unless all allies are at the table and Ukraine calls the shots. It's really quite simple, Russia leaves Ukraine including Crimea, or they get their army destroyed while being thrown out on their asses in humiliation. How they deal with this is up to them, let's hope they choose wisely, because they are now in no position to negotiate anything, but are on the verge of collapse. As for South Korea, their right-wing government already announced it had all of Russia's artillery and rocket sites targeted with precision weapons. As far as Tawain goes, we get all our most advanced chips from there and the allies would be on China like stink on shit. It takes years to onshore microprocessor technology and the governments are doing it.

When was the last time we sat down with North Korea? We have no business negotiating with Russia, but we have business fighting them, and we have business overthrowing Ukrainian leadership and installing a new US-friendly government back in 2014?
