What comes around goes around. Korean military hardware gets battle proven, meaning that weaknesses can be adressed. Also Korea gains easy entry to EU markets. Third in an event of a hot war with NK, NATO could support SK with spare ammunition, especially if they start using Korean gear.

There are pros and cons that the government must weigh.

At least India is sovereign and does not have foreign military bases on its soil and not some lapdog of the U.S. as Germany is

They could kill their officers and surrender.

Maybe yes, but i dont think its highly possible when theres people who wants to imigrate europe trough turkey. Eu still pays billions to turkey to keep them there.

Not to mention years of ignoring clear safety issues going all the way back to before they even built the plant

The Russians simply moved some troops from one area to another. These are not “ gains “ . They took pictures outside an already abandoned village which has no strategic interest.

The reality is human wave attacks with limited armor support has created a bloodbath for Russian troops. They try to cross open fields grouped together and get wasted by artillery being guided by drones in real time. Stragglers get wasted by drones dropping grenades.

Ukraine just brought up a fresh battalion to start counter offensives. The defensive units are being rotated out and new troops are moving in.

You talk of sanctioning China when the U.S is already doing everything it can to limit China's growth without calling it sanctions. New restrictions—including on exports, imports, direct investment, and financial securities.

Like shutting down Huawei and their 5G network, removing Huawei's position as the second-largest smartphone maker in the world.

An extension of Trump-era tariffs on Chinese solar

Sanctions on DJI, a company which had close to an 80% market share in consumer drones in the US.

The recent chip export controls.

There's also the global perception war, in which Congress proposes $500 million for negative news coverage of China .

Funny how a country that always complains about "interference" when anyone else comments on human rights concerns etc is always hot to pull up a phone whenever a foreign government, news agency, etc so much as talks to Taiwan etc...

Many Russians are dying, needlessly too. They don’t have anything to do with as you know. It’s all Putin.

Lol. Headline tomorrow: 'China SLAMS Czech President-Elect for Taiwan call.' Or better yet: 'China SLAMS Everyone for Everything.'

Even if it was done in Israel's interests, the attack still also greatly aids Ukraine as it either directly damaged drone or missile development, or at the very least diverted resources from Irani weapon development.

Irani weapons, as we all know, are actively being used by Russia.

The only lives and property that I care about at this point in the invasion are Ukrainian.

Sorry, what I’m trying to say Russia started an unprovoked war and the goal is to stop Russia

Exactly that is happening.

Isn’t that redundant?

It's the bribes that can't be replaced.

Hopefully he will have a big defeat in May.

Estonia and Finland can't secure baltics that well, we don't have that much equipment. US air forces is needed also in southern if war occurs between NATO and Russia, northern countries likely covers air mainly by themselves. It's not about can we fet, but will we get supplies trough Sweden. Uncertainty is not good thing, with NATO membership, it is certain.

And Sweden can sign their own treaties, but will they?

Same could be said for you.

Unfortunately it won't in any way replace the huge amount of exports we lost to the EU because of the distance. There's good reason anyone who isn't an absolute idiot is pretending they didn't vote for it to happen.

"Russia claims..." is just as unreliable as "Trump claims..."

In the USA you can't use one because private contras get mad and send you broken shit.
