Thank God someone knows what's going on.......................... China’s New Ambassador Warns US Has ‘Gone Too Far’ Over Taiwan - link In 1966, China was the most backward and inward looking insanity on the Planet. Out popped an Ambassador who hasn't the slightest clue how grateful his entire nation and self, should be towards the West. Was China hated, wiped off the face of the Earth? No, it was embraced and coddled into the stupidities manifested today. Silly, silly people.

Yaw n..... Droning on. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-62578235 I was remembering how Nazi Germany's social democracy and communism overcame bitter hatred of one another to divide up Poland between themselves. Russia is ripe for that plucking and the saving of the World. Dear Mr. Xi...... How about a half each of the federation reconstructed as twelve new nations under joint shperes of influence?

My dear fellows, if we are to practice what we preach, each nation is soverign, and it should not be our aim to break them up, partition, or in the extreme wipe them off the face of the earth. That goes against everything we believe in. That attitude of - I'll fix you - is what got the world in the place we find ourselves now.
Instead we must be willing and able to confront our enemies and adversaries with all the tools at our disposal from nuclear weapons to popsicle sticks. We must never show fear. We must never be bullied. At the same time we must constantly be ready to extend our hand in friendship. The two most formidable adversaries faced by the west, China and Russia, are in reality a house of cards, ready to topple over, as soon as someone opens the window in the card room. It is our job in the west to open that window, and let the sun shine upon our adversaries. They won't like it one damned bit, but in this age of global communications in seconds, there is not a hell of a lot they can do about it. It will take time and patience on our part, ans we must be able and willing to fight them to the death at the drop of Uncle Sam's hat. We must not purposefully provoke them, but at the same time be willing to go about our business internationally undetered by their attempts at intimidation.
This is hard shit and that's why we have Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Oxford and Cambridge, to train those of us who must unflinchingly confront them. That;s why we have Fort Leavenworth, Carlisle Barracks, and Camberley too.

Unfortunately, Russia is nuts and the squirrels are hungry. The new and free Babushka states - Putin free democracy endorsed by Xi.

It's not Russia or China. It is the leaders in Russia and China.
The world is full of nut jobs and we are not immune here either. Maybe we should send some of our walnuts and pecans to Putin, and Xi. That would fix them good and proper. They could show them both how to piss in their own Chop Suey and Borscht.
HR: Thank you again for posting those Merkava close up photos. Had to experiment with the proper paint mix, but the first of five turned out real well thatks to your thoughfulness.

Devil Dog that's Marine crap. Dogface, and proud of it.
Yes the Merkava is one of my favorite tanks, exceeded only by the German "Big Cats" the Leopard 1 and 2. After I finish the other four Merkavas in 1/100 scale, I am going to start on a 1/35 scale Leopard 2 A6 which is one of the three or four Leos I am missing in my collection. After that, I am on to a Canadian, Dutch, and Spanish Leopards. All are different in some respect, having been built by the Germans to each of those countries own modification specifications, and of course improved and further modified over their service life span.
I am happy to see we have a new member, and look forward to those contributions.

It looks as though NATO will have to involve directly in Ukraine to reclaim the nuclear plant and at minimum provide a perimeter excluding direct and rocket fire. That will extend about 350 kliks out from the site. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-62602387I understand thinking is to leave Russia hold the plant but push back their forces inside their border and declare South Western Russia an exclusion zone for Russian military. Very reasonable. As usual ourPC geniuses at BBCville have missed or avoided the important reality that nuclear fallout from the impending 'accident' ruins the Eastern Ukraine crop yields for..... 10,000 years ringing global starvation. Russia has now gone too far. There is no way for responsible governments to avoid this conclusion as their economies unravel and their people starve. As this takes hold in the EU, there will be a complete shift towards radical militarism and only one political solution. The World changed. A facist bully caused it and will continue until stopped. We have been here before. Bye the way, China will not survive the economic and agricultural devastation coming its way from Russia. Putin is playing World domination. I would expect the UN to collapse by Christmas. Not joking about this - it can be seen now for what it is - wishful thinking. Therefore, I am going to solve the logistics issues facing Operation Ghengis. The past 75 years of binding the Nations of Europe into pacifist EUtopia has ended. I say this confidently based in the profound history of Europe during the past 2,000+ years - History is there to teach. Central to all European conflict is Russia. At it for 2,000+ years and now run by a complete lunatic.

Not in complete agreement HR, but pretty damned close. The only way to stop a bully is punch him in the nose, then kick him in the scrotum. Then you pee in his face, before you turn him over to his own people, for his just reward for screwing over them for so long.
