There's a guy I usually listen to whose channel is called "Inside Russia." He left Russia a year after the invasion... he explains Russia and its society and what the news actually means for your average Russian... not a slick on-camera personality, just a regular guy.

China has entered some kind of security agreement with Kazakhstan?
That's interesting... because the only threat to Kazakhstan is Russia, since Russians say the decision to annex Kazakhstan has already been made and it's just a matter of time...

Nigerian immigrants to England with full English education are scoring higher on university entrance exams than any other ethnicity.
Immigrants from England formed African colonies seem to thrive wherever they go. One of my mother's doctors was Ugandan and he was too notch.

Are you saying along with it's populace thriving because of English influence, Uganda as a country thrives?

I'm talking about immigrants from there not the country itself which has manifold problems

The immigrant situation in Europe is different than what this country deals with simply because of Islam. Islam is still a conquest religion that will infest European countries and try to impose those beliefs on the countries that took them in. Multiculturalism and all that live and let live BS goes out the window when you let in thousands of people that at the core don’t like you, and they never will. History will repeat itself, and what’s currently happening in Europe is the perfect launch point for it.

Key Takeaways:
Ukraine is addressing its manpower challenges and is forming several new brigades, but delayed and insufficient Western weapons deliveries will likely prevent Ukraine from equipping all these new brigades. Timely and appropriate Western security assistance continues to be crucial determinant of when and at what scale Ukrainian forces can contest the battlefield initiative and conduct operationally significant counteroffensive operations in the future.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is leveraging existing Eurasian-focused and Russian-led international organizations as the cornerstone for his new proposed alternative "Eurasian security architecture."
Ukraine conducted a naval drone strike against Russian naval infrastructure in Novorossiysk, Krasnodar Krai on the night of July 3 and reportedly damaged energy infrastructure during an aerial drone strike on Belgorod Oblast on the night of July 1.
Unspecified People's Republic of China (PRC) and Russian companies are reportedly working together to develop a drone similar to the Iranian-designed Shahed loitering munition for Russia to use in Ukraine.
Russian forces recently advanced within easternmost Chasiv Yar, in the Toretsk direction, and near Avdiivka, and Ukrainian forces recently advanced within Vovchansk, near Kreminna, and southeast of Chasiv Yar.
The Kremlin continues efforts to position Russian veterans who have fought in Ukraine in official roles in Russian domestic politics.

One country at a time.

Two completely different situations. The first is expanding the current war in Ukraine, and the second is would Putin invade other European countries after he had taken Ukraine. Keep on with those false equivalencies.

British Defence Intelligence
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
UPDATE ON UKRAINE 04 July 2024
Ukrainian government sources have long highlighted Russian theft of Ukrainian resources from areas it has occupied. Iron ore, coal, titanium, uranium, manganese, gold and lithium deposits are all present in Ukraine, resources which are almost certainly coveted by Russia but also potential targets as Russia seeks to grind down Ukraine's economy, denying access and destroying infrastructure
One of the reasons Russia seeks to improve transportation networks in occupied Ukraine is because it wants to extract more Ukrainian minerals. The Russian occupation official for Zaporizhzhia region previously claimed the ongoing upgrading and construction of road and rail transportation links to Russia would improve the lines of communication not only for military logistics, but grain and mineral export.
South of Dniprorudne in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region, Russia continues its mining activity, removing iron ore by rail. Trains travel through Crimea, over the Kerch bridge into Russia. This activity is not without risk; as trains need to move through areas where Ukrainian partisans are known to operate and have already claimed responsibility for attacks.

Immigrants tend to thrive wherever they go, if the place they go is not controlled by the same people who controlled or set up the system where they came from...
This is the story of America's success in the world.
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
I'll make this my Independence Day post...
and note how strange it is that I, a dreaded "Leftist," seem to be more honestly patriotic than most of the Right these days...

People will automatically become successful if they change countries? And they’re working and living in an alien society?

That’s Marxist claptrap.
What made us successful was the immense human capital of the original settler population. They were not normal people. America could have been resource poor and it would have worked out. The other major element was the culture that the colonists brought with them.

Somehow Jake considers striking russian airbases to be "escalatory".
Russia claims strike on Ukrainian Air Force base in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Kyiv hasn't confirmed
Russia attacks Myrhorod military airfield, official confirms 'some losses'

NATO staff would be the ones planning the strikes, that’s why it’s dangerous.
