Pity for the crew that it was at nighttime. Couldn't take nice close- up pictures similar to those of the cold war era pilots decorating their walls at home and giving them fond memories of times...

That is a genuine middle finger towards Putin. Together with China showing interest in Russia's far East, Putin should be more wary of China than of the West. The West will not grab parts of Russia...

A direct Landing Assault on Taiwan would surely be not so easy. Distance to mainland is 4 times the Channel. That gives ample warning time for Air Defence against incoming helicopters and coastal...

Not quite, yet.
China has <<1000 Nuclear Warheads, the US has >5000.
Conventionally the Chinese Armed Forces are surely the closest competitor to the US. On the Nuclear side of things Russia is...

Indeed! Their interest in Taiwan is not due to a military strategic background. It's not a lever for them. For them it's the (historic) main price and they are looking for levers to gain this target...

I consider it more a sign that Xi won the internal power struggle wthiin the CP. Which in itself I consider not being a good thing.
The risk for Taiwan will very much depend on whether Xi and the...
