Come on, that's a great Beaverton headline. The fact that people kinda believed it makes it perfect satire. Now, should we rip on Whiteout for posting it like that? Absolutely.

Lol I was more or less commenting that it was underhanded even for the beaverton. It's too close to reality to be satire. Whiteout posting it without disclosing satire - pretty much the usual

I am assuming those Chinese soldiers are mercenary volunteers and not regular members of the Chinese military. Still, I believe they have laws about their citizens fighting in foreign wars outside of government instruction. I wouldn't put it past them to be quietly letting those guys go to fight on behalf of Russia.

They're transitioning into Leopards, according to Wiki they should currently have 42 of those.

This transition was in part helped by the German government, who donated them some older refurbished Leopards so the Czechs could donate their old Soviet tanks to Ukraine. (The Czechs have also ordered new tanks to be delivered in the next few years.)

Thanks, it's kinda what I reckoned.

Allows them to modernize and get rid of the #### equipment from the USSR.

It's a win win

Absolutely insane footage from the air attacks on Kharkiv recently. The Orc army has been pushing hard the past few days trying to get into both Sumy and Kharkiv Oblasts over the past few days. Not a lot mentioned in the mainstream news about it but it's been non-stop recently. Wife was on the phone with her friend a few nights ago who lives in her former neighborhood in Kharkiv city and she could faintly hear what is assumed was the buzz of rockets on her speaker phone.

But Zelinsky didn't wear a suit, so they really get what they deserve.

Unfortunately air defense is one area where US support is somewhat irreplaceable :/

The only thing the ceasefire has done is taken away the one way Ukraine was hurting Russia - attacking its refineries and oil storage. With that threat removed the US and Russia are slow-walking the rest of the process. If i was Zelensky I would give them a deadline, then fire everything I've got at those targets.

Putin’s meeting with Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, lasted more than four hours. Meanwhile, Reuters reports that about a week ago, Witkoff told Trump that the quickest way to achieve a ceasefire would be to give Russia four regions of Ukraine.

The most insightful thing I’ve heard anyone say about China this week. While not a China “expert,” I’d also add Xi is not in any rush. Their culture is strategic, calm & thoughtful, and he plays the long game.
