You're talking about China? There's no alternative to the USD, it's not like holding EUR or JPY would work any better when Xi invades Taiwan.It certainly would for authoritarian dictatorships seeking to invade their neighbors for no valid reason.

My recollection (and it may well be faulty) was that Ukraine took the US's warning of an impending invasion to be scare mongering and were initially caught with their trousers down.Tweet

They weren't, they used their capabilities at the time very well to stop the invasion. Hadn't they done that, they wouldn't have been able to defend Hostomel airport, wouldn't have been able to stop the convoy rolling towards Kiyv and therefore would have lost their capital quite quickly.My recollection (and it may well be faulty) was that Ukraine took the US's warning of an impending invasion to be scare mongering and were initially caught with their trousers down.
Yeah, that's fair enough concerning Kyiv, but in the South they were completely overrun and were fighting for control of Kherson within a day. That ultimately cost them the entire seaboard west of the Dnipro. The latter is what I had in mind with the trousers down comment.They weren't, they used their capabilities at the time very well to stop the invasion.

I think lots of that was because of corruption and turncoats. Bridges that were meant to be blown weren't and units switching sides didn't help the cause.Yeah, that's fair enough concerning Kyiv, but in the South they were completely overrun and were fighting for control of Kherson within a day.

Those snowballs will sure teach them a lesson
Wow, that is a serious hammering. I’m astonished anyone inside that tank was still able to make it move.Finally...glorious footage of Bradley v T90
Wow. Didn't think a 25mm would be able to put a battle tank out of commission like that, even with armor piercing ammunition.Finally...glorious footage of Bradley v T90
Wouldn't surprise me if elements of this are actually true.Tweet

Best explanations I've seen suggests the precision shooting probably took out a huge amount of the external optical and sensors and that the Bradley may have got lucky on hitting some hydraulics. Combine that with a decimation of experienced tank crews and that's how we got that result.Wow. Didn't think a 25mm would be able to put a battle tank out of commission like that, even with armor piercing ammunition.

You think they're going to go to a hot war with Russia because of the GPS issue ?Poland is about the only country that is preparing accordingly , war with Russia looks inevitable.
There's quite a few members posting tweets from credible sources which help to better understand the situation there. Then you have posts like the one above yours which absolutely ruin the thread.If there was ever a vote for important threads not being intoxicated by twitter then I would agree.
How's that?Poland is about the only country that is preparing accordingly , war with Russia looks inevitable.
Huh? Poland isn't going to start a war, they are simply preparing for further Russian aggression in their neighborhood.You think they're going to go to a hot war with Russia because of the GPS issue ?
I see your point. On the other hand, Poland is a part of NATO, so Russia would be triggering article 5 by attacking them. Putin is somewhat delusional, but he's not suicidal. At the end of the day, he will act out of self-preservation of his own life, and attacking any NATO nation would run contrary to that.Huh? Poland isn't going to start a war, they are simply preparing for further Russian aggression in their neighborhood.
More countries should do the same, Russia won't stop before they are stopped, or they get their empire back.
And how are they going to achieve that when they couldn't even get their way in Ukraine?Huh? Poland isn't going to start a war, they are simply preparing for further Russian aggression in their neighborhood.
