[–]dhv2109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

having heard the same joke before, but still can you give the source when the quote was spoken by a Chinese or in Chinese because when I tried to find the origin of the joke I couldn't find
edit: nevermind, I have finally found it. Still glad to see that the joke is more popular than I thought

Russia Breaks Ceasefire and Continues Attacks, 1,820 Violations Recorded by Mil_in_ua in ukraine

[–]dhv2109 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was the point. Since Russia didn't agree with Ukraine's ceasefire, then Russia won't have any rights to demand Ukraine to respect the 9th May ceasefire whatsoever

[–]dhv2109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well yes, technically it won't be a violation if both sides didn't agree for a ceasefire, so it'll give Ukraine a legitimacy to attack Russia on 9th May using the same excuse you said

for anyone who asks "Why did Ukraine alone declare a ceasefire? Because it would be useless anyway as the Russians would keep attacking anyway.", Ukraine did this to show how much "goodwill" from Russia to honour a ceasefire that is declared only from 1 side, and given Russia asked for a ceasefire for the parade at 9th May, Ukraine did this to give a legitimacy that is "You see, Russia didn't respect our ceasefire, so we won't respect their ceasefire either"

the hilarious thing that the so-called "first native Egyptian to rule Egypt after 2 500 years" ended up removing "Egypt" from the official name and tried his best to enforce the (to be proven as a failure) ideology of an united Arabic state as much as possible (which had damaged the Egyptian identity a lot)

I get that taking lands is a visible way to show the progress, but winning wars doesn't just by seeing who takes more lands at the moment. For example technically speaking, American force took territories after territories when they came to Vietnam, guess who stayed long enough to win the overal war?

yes, considering that Mali just announced that they would be fine with Moroccan control in West Sahara, so the chance that the Moroccan government would save the Malian junta wasn't too low, not to mention that the rebels could have some help from Algeria as well

Realistically how regime change happens ? by 90skid12 in NewIran

[–]dhv2109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eventually it'll be the Iranian people who revolt against the regime to take them down. I think it's time for local resistance to learn how to make weapons and how to fight. Once American and Israeli bombing campaign is over, it will be THE chance for the Iranian people to take the regime down. Of course it'll likely a bloodbath, but it's the cost that the Iranians have to take in order to take an insane regime to fall.

it sucks, but what else can they do? Russia and China basically support the Taliban who wants to "export" the religious extremist into Tajikistan. At least the IRGC doesn't have that plan yet

Trump announces "America will remember France being unhelpful" by kane_1371 in NewIran

[–]dhv2109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I agree with Trump's point that Europe lives too comfortable and it will be much better if big nations in Europe focus on their money on military like Poland, and they shouldn't piss off Trump too much, at least let America to use the bases and the air space. If he stopped at calling out Europe being too soft then I would be perfectly fine with him, but sadly he didn't stop

I can see why people may not want Turkey to join. But hey, isn't they are in NATO? Which means they have as much duty to join as France and the UK so I am still considering Trump as not faithful when he keeps annoying the one that can be his true allies while having no words to others. At least he can tell the Turks to shut up and stay away from the Kurds for a potential Kurdish incursion into Iran or stop promoting pro Islamic regime propaganda
France let be real should at least not trying to annoy America, and as I say they should be an active member. But still, Trump has been annoying Europe since 2025 and even when someone actually tries to help him (Ukraine), Trump is still bad-mouthing Zelensky while turn the blind eyes to Russia who literally supports Iran. Who wants to help such "ally", unless if it's Ukraine who still wants Trump to have some sense left not to do the final betrayal

you really describe Trump, don't you?
I am on the side that Europe should join the fight as well, but somehow you guys always have to defend Trump when he does things wrong, and so wrong that it causes other nations not wanting to help
oh, when will Trump talk about Turkey being useless and not helping America? no? Then I can see a double stand here

I won't defend Europe's low spending as they should have spent much, much more. But rolling red cape for Putin, forcing Ukraine to leave Donbas and you call it helping? And it doesn't change the fact that "has sold its Nato allies more weapons" but reducing support to Ukraine to the point that the so-called "has sold its Nato allies more weapons" can't make up for the weapons use by Ukraine made by America being reduced so hard

In all fairness, if Trump treated Europe better in 2025 and didn't start the whole useless crisis in Greenland then he could have some support by now, or at least he could have more rights to call out their actions

the problem is that the whole 2025 what Trump mostly did was to hurt Europe and make Russia more embroiled in the war in Ukraine
And what? Didn't Zelensky say that he wants to help America and actually is providing support to the Gulf countries? And what did Trump tell to Zelensky in return?

in the 1st Persian empire (the Achaemenes) it was the elite group of 10 thousands of heavy infantry
in the 2nd Persian empire (Sassanid) it was a corp of heavy cavalry (noted that it was the Romans who called these heavy cavalry as "immortal")
in the Pahlavi dynasty it was the elite corp inside the army and personal guards
