Zoraptor Posted Wednesday at 08:17 PM Posted Wednesday at 08:17 PM No kidding about that being an annoying article. Somebody putting their creative design degree to too much use. 'Ukraine/ western sources say' doing an awful lot of heavy lifting in it too. (Not much doubt about the supply; but the number of Korean troops is completely unsupported. Indeed, the Ukrainians trumpeted capturing 2 out of 150 Chinese nationals, yet only managed 2/15000 Koreans despite the 'thousands' of casualties? That's some Ghost of Kursk like numbers. In the end the absolute lack of any sort of actual critical thinking makes them just another Nigerien Yellowcake type intelligence laundering) 6 hours ago, Gorth said: Just waiting for Trump to declare war on Ukraine so US troops can attempt to seize the rare earth deposits Might as well declare war on Narnia to get theirs, it would cost less and they have nearly the same amount of rare earth deposits.
Malcador Posted Wednesday at 08:49 PM Posted Wednesday at 08:49 PM https://kyivindependent.com/denmark-to-send-unarmed-soldiers-to-ukraine-for-drone-warfare-training/ Bit of a statement, very timid at least, sending soldiers into Ukraine to be trained. Not like the Ukrainian forces training them going to Poland would hamper the effort as they're hanging out in the western part of the country anyway. Why has elegance found so little following?

pmp10 Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago Trump seems to still be pushing that mineral deal so it seems unlikely. Unless he can get a political 'win' somewhere else.
Zoraptor Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago Trump (supporters) would definitely take no minerals deal but also no more 'free' weapons/ money as a win. He can always say he's going to get the 300bn 'repaid' by other means like, haha, tariffs. At this point the threat is likely false, but pushing for a ceasefire when neither side really wants one is a losing strategy in the medium term and gets more so the longer it goes on. Throwing up your hands and saying that it simply can't be done (now) then becomes a valid bail out option.
