Ukraine received 909 bodies of Ukrainian fallen soldiers, and Russia received 43 bodies of Russian fallen soldiers. Ukraine and Russia Exchange Nearly 1K Bodies of Fallen Soldiers

Now CPC needs to find the CEO of an insurance company to be its leader, and his campaign slogan should be "After liberal banker has failed Canadian, Conservative Party will insure Canada's future.... "😜😂 LOL. In China, there is a common saying 时势造英雄, which means "When a nation is in crisis, it offers an opportunity to a true hero to lead". What Trump has done creates a national wide crisis in Canada, and it also creates a stage for Canadian politicians to show Canadian what they truly are. But what we have seen from those conservative politicians are: 1) First a few day after Trump's BS, all conservative politicians just acted like some puppets without someone pulling strings. They kept saying Fentanyl, border, Fentanyl, border....obviously didn't know what to do. 2) Then they finally came out a campaign slogan which was copied from Trump: Canada First. Just imagine, Winston Churchill gave his audience a Nazi salute to show his resolves when he made his famous "We should fight on beaches" speech... 3) Now under panic of losing the election, conservatives begin to speak out their routine "liberal did this wrong, liber did that wrong....". They don't realize under current circumstance, most voters favor future tense rather than past tense... It only proves that the party has become rather like a cult than a political party, just like the Republican Party in US. The typical symptom of cult members is that they all act like robots. They can't be reasoned with and they absolutely will not stop to follow the leader of the cult, even if this leader is obviously speaking or doing BS....😢 The definition of a cult:

Your statements are grammatically and logically correct though they won't help you to win the debate since most readers of our posts are not grammar teachers.😜 When you go to Tim Hortons and buy a cup of coffee, there is never sufficient evidence that no one has put poison into it. But I guess you will still drink it anyway. 😂 On the contrary, many tourists won't buy drinks from this guy, though they haven't sufficient evidence that these drinks are unsafe. For the same reason, Zelenskyy also can't win the war by grammatical-correctly and fact-check-correctly arguing with Trump. Zelenskyy is correct that Ukraine indeed had resisted Russian invasion alone for far more than 2 weeks before the aid from the West came in. But Trump is right that Ukraine has almost run out of manpower. It is the unfavorable reality which Ukrainian and Ukraine supporters should accept.

I suppose no Nazi in the movie got prosecuted for destroying the residential block after ww2, since British used it for military purpose first. The price tag of Storm Shadow is far more impressive than the hardware itself, so UK can't afford to send enough units to Ukraine to win the war. Actually propagandists like targeting hospitals more than army guys😜 I only believe things which sound logical. For example: Just assume Kim Jong Un claimed it was SK military intentionally killing civilian but SK government said it was an accident. I choose to believe SK government, not because of the orange man good/Kim Jong Un bad thing, but because the SK explanation logically makes sense.

The West isn't the only side in the world which can make military-grade ICs. Do you really think these Putin's new toys hitting their targets by share dumb luck, without any guidance at all? These are what we heard from CNN, BBC, DW....but the reality is, Ukraine has thrown old men and girls into battlefield, meanwhile you can hardly find such kind of massive war graveyard in Russian towns.

US couldn't win the war since the most powerful American killing machine--PC keyboard hadn't been invented yet.😜 The Memorial Wall for Martyrs of People Volunteer Army in Chinese Military Museum It shows 183,108 PVA soldiers lost their lives in the war. You obviously confused terms of Casualties and Killed You have watched too many fake news from CNN, BBC, VOA.......LOL😜 The Korean War is a symbolic starting point of the over a half century long road which leads China to be great again. By pushing forces of US, the #1 super power in the world then, back from Chinese border, Chinese people regained the confident to their nation, which was lost duo to many defeats in wars since the First Opium War. Soviet wouldn't transfer those technologies which laid the foundation of Chinese modern industry to China in 1950s if China didn't prove that it dared to confront US and was able to push it back. Nixon would also not visit China in 1972 if China didn't kick US's butt in both Korean and Vietnam wars. By the way, if Canadian didn't kick Uncle Sam's butt in the War of 1812, Trump wouldn't need to ask annexing Canada since it has already been colonized. It seems like the history of US tells us that the only way to earn respect from US is to kick its butt. 😜 Just imagine, if it wasn't China but India which sent troops in NK and kicked US's butt there, what would India be like today?

China fought US in the Korean War without any territorial gain. Do you think China gained nothing from the war? Russia has gained lots of things from the invasion of Ukraine: 1) Ukraine doesn't fight Russia alone. Everyone in the world knows that NATO is behind Ukraine, just like the Vietnam War wasn't just US vs Vietcong but US vs Soviet and China backed Vietcong. By defeating Ukraine and reaching a in-favor-of-Russia peace deal, Russia has re-established its status as a major great power in the world. 2) Putin has successfully used the nationalism raised by the war to unite Russians together, which is always the first step to make a nation great again. 3) Russia has also proved its economical and technological independence from the West by defeating the sanctions from the West. For example: Before the war, Russia had developed SSJ-100 and MC-21 airliners, but these planes heavily relied on western components. When the war began, under the sanction, the production of these planes were halted due to lack of western parts. But now they begin to come back with domestic substitute components. It's just like the US's sanctions on China. They don't kill US's enemies but make them stronger. 4）The War has divided both US and Europe. It also severely damaged US's image in the world, with the help from agent Trump of course. Instead of MAGA, it almost makes US look like a piper tiger again. The relationship between Russia and China is neither allies nor master and servant, but business partners. Both countries have their own agendas and can act of their own accord. For example, China never complains that Russia sales weapons to India and Vietnam, and Russia also doesn't complain that China keeps neutral on its war against Ukraine and refuses to recognize its annexation of Crimea and East Ukraine. In short, it isn't a demanding type and contrasts with the relationship between US and its allies, in which the allies always see US as their economic blood bag and US always treats them as its servants.

I agree. What I said "F-47 will kill F-35" just means F-35 will not be produced as many as it originally planned, due to both USAF and foreign customers will shift to new fighters like F-47 or something from Europe in the future. Most foreign buyers would reconsider their decision if they see USAF has changed its mind.

I'm sure Russian engineers could build anything which US has if they got enough funds. But currently, Putin has to count on some makeshift turtle tanks and gas pipeline commandos instead of SU-57 and air assault brigade to win the war.

I said "For conduct this kind of mission, Russian SU-57 is probably the best option over other 5G fighters:" and "this kind of mission" was referring the not-open-fire scenario in Army Guy's post: Like this one:

It is because no one would fire a missile at the SU-57 in an air show. Without advanced avionics, which obviously are the shortcoming of any Russian airplanes, SU-57 won't last long in Ukrainian airspace.

The flight performance of F-35 was intentionally capped by USAF in hope that it would get more F-22 orders granted by US congress, but for some reasons things didn't go as USAF planned. So USAF had no choice but to upgrade F-35's avionics, software and weapon system to compensate its shortcomings on flight performance to make it the backbone of US air supremacy. I think it is a proof that even a lackluster platform, if it is upgraded with most advanced avionics and weaponry, can be very good for air superiority mission. In such kind missions, flight performance matters the most over other performances. In certain circumstance, even old Soviet MIg-25 has an edge over F-22, for it can fly over 4km higher than a F-22. I think this is why F-47 may kill the F-35 eventually. Obviously the air superiority mission of F-35 will be taken away by F-47, and the role on strike mission will be replaced by drones and unmanned aircrafts, so there will be no room left for more F-35. --- For conduct this kind of mission, Russian SU-57 is probably the best option over other 5G fighters:

Here is the evidence of foreign interference in Canadian election:😜 But during medieval times, when people were all conservative since the first liberal in the world had not been born yet, Lord Trump had the right to rape his servant's wife. It was called Droit du seigneur or something. So no need to fuss.😂

The concept of air superiority fighter was raised during the Vietnam War, when due to the limitations of radar and air-to-air missile technologies, the air combat usually took form of dogfight. The concept has gradually faded away since late 1990s, duo to the high R/D and purchasing costs of 5G fighters. The improvement of air-to-air missile technology also makes BVR become the major form of air combats, and fighter jets are no longer required to point its nose at target for firing a missile in dogfight, so agility of fighter jets is no longer considered as major factor to win air combats to establish air superiority. Nowadays, almost all fighter jets, include all 5G and later variants of 4g fighters are multirole. F-35 is also a multirole fighter jet which can be used for air superiority mission. This is why USAF throws in billions dollars to upgrade complex network software and hardware for it, which obviously are unnecessary If it was mainly used for strike mission.

It seems like Trump has just announced the death sentence of F-35

I have to admit that I underestimated Putin in that post. Putin is a true stable genius, for the invention of the term Energy Infrastructure Ceasefire.😜 He must have some degree of true respect to Trump, by not dictating a landmine ceasefire, which would be a big headache to Ukrainian army to dig out all of them in the path of Russian military advance.😂😢 Putin agrees to 30-day energy infrastructure ceasefire in call with Trump

Tariff itself is an attempt to distort the market force. When Trump put 25% on Canadian steel and aluminum, the market is gone. Canadian doesn't ask for this. Except being annexed by US, what could Canada do to prosper the relationship enough to make Trump cancels the tariff? Besides, even if Canadian accepted the annexation, would US allow Canadian to keep their current way of living? Obviously not. Because if everything is kept as their current statues in Canada, like the steel and oil are still sold to US by the same prices, what is the point of the annexation to US? The annexation is just the cover words of colonization. This time the colonist is American and the aboriginal is Canadian. Since Canadian would still suffer if they accepted the annexation, why shouldn't they resist US and bear the suffer for their freedom and independence?

I know. Unfortunately it is Trump who filed the divorce. I wish Canada would act like Ivana, acknowledging the reality that the marriage is over and taking calculated measures to secure her future as a successful businesswoman. Just don't be Stormy Daniels-----throwing tea cups, kitchen knives, dishes and pans on Trump's head won't help the situation.😜😢

Decoupling is kinda like divorce. When a couple is divorcing, there are lots of things which they need to fight for until an agreement has been reached, like the money in their bank, the house they live, and kids.....etc. Even after they divorced, Trump still has business relationship with Ivana, hasn't he? In short: decoupling doesn't mean to become enemy each other. It just means to keep some distance to make both sides comfort by having less responsibility to each other.

My point is that his methods indeed delivered results...according to the ending scene of the movie, the soldier had become the bravest man in General Bradley's army. My point is the US is a falling tree, regardless if Trump can be convinced or not, the US just can't afford to support its allies by the old way. So Canada only has two options: 1) The easy way: hand over all its natural resources and become or virtually become the 51th state of USA, then eventually fall with USA; 2) The hard way: bearing all the hardness and make its own way out of zone of the falling tree.

Unfortunately I feel the same way. What I posted here are just purely academic. Though, there is still hope.....if Canada is the weeping soldier, Trump is playing General Patton... 😢

This is why Canadian economy needs some sort of decoupling from US's if Canadian wants their country to be truly independence. Besides, just as I have pointed out in another post, the US is a big falling tree. It would be better and safer if anyone who used to live on the tree walked away with more controllable manner from it before it completely fell down. For example: Given current circumstance caused by Elon Musk to Tesla, if someone had a well-paid job in Tesla but have got fired recently, though it may be difficult to find another well-paid job in other companies so he may need to lower his salary expectation and get extra learning or training to fit a new job, is it still wise to begin seeking another job instead of waiting Musk to have mercy and recall him back?

As for way #2, there is another example for further explanation: When two boats, one large and one small, stay side by side in calm water, you can see passengers scattering on either boats according to their preferences. But when a gust of wind makes the water rough, you will see everyone just wants to jump on the large boat. Trump's so-called madness, like putting tariffs on and off, moving their dates forward and backward, is a strategy which means to create uncertainty or instability. Upon economical instability, Businessmen will intend to move their business to the more stable economy which is less affected by the tariff stir, the larger boat, which is the US. To defeat this strategy, the owner of the small boat needs to prove his existing and potential passengers that his boat is stable too and can send passengers to its setting destination, not only going to where the wind blows to. If Canada government lets Trump to decide whether Canadian economy will stay being-bonded with US's or will stray away from US's, it will be no different from that a ferry captain lets wind to decide where his ship goes. No one would want to buy a boarding ticket for his ship.

This is hyena trying to sell bear-spray to safari tourists in Africa. It's a wrong salesman selling wrong product in a wrong place.... It's kinda like, when a woman files for divorce, the man tells her "Once you leave this room and go outside, you will be raped by other men." Though Canada's economy is relatively smaller than US's, Canada's GDP is still on par with Italy and Brazil, close to France and UK. How can all these countries be independent from Russia and China but Canada can't?

Actually, if F-35 is out of option, Canada should not buy any fighter jets right now. Europeans are seeking independence from US so they have to begin to develop their own 5G or 6G fighter jets soon. Why not saving $90 billion now and joining the party later to get more fair share from any new project?
