The People's Republic of China and its master, the Chinese Communist Party, are mainly interested in how the current situation in Europe would resemble anything similar if/when the PRC invades Taiwan.
 
Sadly, the war is now as good as over. With Steven Seagal training Russian forces in forbidden martial arts techniques it's now only a matter of time before they march into Kyiv, having dispatched the entire Ukrainian Army using Aikido death touches.
 
Zelensky is now doomed!
 
Arranging a war in which hundreds of thousands of ukranians die "for NATO" (in the words of Ukraine's presidential aide) is "humanism"?
Repeatedly spurning, and ordering them to refuse, negotiations to end that war is some common cause for humanity? I don't think so.

Someone actually socialist (hint: you can recognize them by asking what they thing of this organization, NATO, friend or enemy of the left in the world) could argue that this "western" eagerness for war at least has hastened the liberation of humanity from the past (it's done) political hegemon. But the US imperium was decaying already and weaponizing Ukraine was it attempting to stave it off. It would have been better if that failed to produce the desired war at all.

My point to you is: no socialist with any knowledge of history confuses Washington's establishment and NATO with the "common cause of humanity". Ultimately there are many thousands of millions of humans outside the US and its vassals, less than a thousand within. The "common cause" of most of humanity was to see "the west" lose its explorative hold on the rest of the world. Dealing with the next hegemons will be a new problem. But the most immediate one has been the hegemon and its acolytes attacking and wrecking one country after another. And no one outside its full-time propagandized vassals believe it has good intentions. And those who believe the nararative, they carre as much about the ukranians as they cared about "afghan women", or "kurdish freedom fighters", "syrian refugees", or the mythical libyan democrats. They never cared nor care, ukranians were and are just tools to "weaken Russia".

For 20 years, every war arranged and propagandized about by Washington - Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, just to name the most notorious - have been cheered on by the liberals here. Every war was presented in a "freedom versus tyranny", "good versus evil" narrative. Every war came with promises of it being about "helping out the people there". Every time all that were lies. All those countries were wrecked and dumped. And that was the goal all along. The empire maintains its hold over the world by spreading chaos and wrecking others as an example for any who disobey.
Moderator Action: This thread is about the current Russian invasion of Ukraine. Stop bringing past events into it. Birdjaguar

And you now think that "supporting Ukraine" is humanism? You're being played, have learned noting from the past.
I generally do not agree with the parallel universe and alternative reality.
There are 450k Ukrainians in my country,they want just return home and live peacfully but they have not such option.
If we will not match the reality, than its useless continue the discussion.

What else would expect from a regime that tortures and excited civilians, bombs hospitals and people sheltering in an auditorium? The cruelty and barbarism used by the Putinists is deliberate terror calculated to break the will of the Ukrainian people to resist the Russian soldiers invading their country. However, such usage of terror tactics was misapplied in this situation. Terror bombing of Rotterdam early in WW2 working because it was a sudden shock two days into the invasion of the Low Countries. In Ukraine, however, the terror attacks ramped up several months into the invasion, meaning the Ukrainian will to resist had already hardened.
 

Spain will send its first 6 modern battle tanks to Ukraine by end of next week, Defense Ministry says​

Spain is expected to send its first shipment of modern battle tanks to Ukraine by the end of next week, once officials have completed final firing tests in the field, the Spanish Defense Ministry said in a statement Thursday.
The six Leopard 2A4 tanks have been undergoing final checks at a weapons factory near Seville in southern Spain, the statement said.
Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles visited the factory Thursday and said four more Leopard tanks due for Ukraine will arrive there soon for inspection and testing.
The first group of Ukrainian troops to learn how to operate the Spanish tanks are wrapping up training at a military base in northern Spain, the Defense Ministry announced last week.
Some background: Robles initially told Spain's parliament last month that the country would send six Leopard tanks to Ukraine.
A day later, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez made a surprise visit to Kyiv on the anniversary of Russia’s invasion. He met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and announced Spain would bump its commitment to 10 fighting vehicles.
 
As a Spaniard i feel ashamed. Investing some minimally serious money Spain could send like 100 Leopards A4 to Ukraine easily instead of 10 without undermining the army a bit, but the central, regional and local governments prefer to waste huge loads of money in the most absurd ways.

"Special Military Operation" starring Steven Segal, Vlad Putin, and a cast of millions...makes sense. All of Segal's movies had three-word titles.
 

Ukrainian officials say Russians sustaining heavy losses in three hotspots along the front lines​

From CNN's Tim Lister, Svitlana Vlasova and Olga Voitovych

Ukrainian officials say Russian forces have kept up their bombardments across Donetsk region, with more than 200 strikes against the Bakhmut area alone in the past 24 hours — but they claim the Russians are losing hundreds of men a day across the front lines.
The eastern city of Bakhmut remains "the focus of the enemy's main attack," according to Serhii Cherevatyi, the spokesman for the Eastern Grouping of the armed forces. Cherevatyi said it was difficult to tell whether the intensity of Russian attacks around Bakhmut was waning because of factors such as weather, the rotation of units or reserves being brought forward by the Russians.

However, he said Russian tactics have remained the same with small tactical groups "trying to deplete our defenses." He said soldiers from the Wagner mercenary group are near Bakhmut, with Russian troops providing reinforcements where necessary.
“We knock them out. In fact, there will be no more Wagner fighters in a little while if they continue the same dynamics," Cherevatyi said. Cherevatyi drew a distinction between the battle for Bakhmut and fighting elsewhere. He said further north, Wagner was less in evidence around Lyman and Kupyansk, where regular Russian forces, supported by the Luhansk militia, had made more than 400 attacks over the past day.

“The main task now is to withstand, to deplete the enemy's forces, while units are being trained both in Ukraine and abroad, equipped with new defense equipment, and coordinated,” Cherevatyi said. In and around the town of Avdiivka, in the Donetsk region, intense Russian bombardments and air strikes continue against Ukrainian defenses. "All the time we were in the city, there were explosions. We did not see a single building that was not damaged. Unfortunately, there are still civilians in Avdiivka. People live in basements," military spokesman Oleksiy Dmytrashkivskyi said.
But he said many of the civilians were unwilling to leave, especially the elderly, and there has been no electricity in the city since May last year.

Dmytrashkivskyi said that the Russians were trying to bypass the town “and these attacks are constantly accompanied by shelling. Yesterday the enemy managed 26 attacks and suffered quite significant losses. More than 100 people were killed and more than 240 wounded,” he claimed. “During the day, they attack with the help of aircraft, artillery and manpower. They are suffering heavy losses in manpower and equipment.”
 
Putin keeps moving towards Authoritarianism
Now not even minor dissent will be tolerated

Nobel Peace Prize winning organisation Memorial targeted by Russian government​

raided the flats of nine employees of the liquidated Human Rights Centre Memorial and the centre and the original organisation’s two Moscow offices.
A criminal case under a different, more “modern” article — repeated “discreditation” of the Russian army
The human rights centre’s office was also raided in the morning.
They both worked in Donbas in 2014. While Russian human rights defenders were still allowed to go there, until they were banned from entering. Their report on the 2014 referendum, about how fake it was — it deeply concerned our authorities

 
Good guys fighting against evil Western hegemon indeed.
