Ukrainian president is meeting Turkey's dictator today, apparently to purchase Turkish drones, and the US have informed Turkey that a few USN warships will passing through the Bosphorus and into the Black Sea.
Is it really anti-western? We seem to be emulating a lot of their assaults on privacy, surveillance and such.

Well I mean the concentration camps or locking away political activists who don't tow the party line....
Or just running people over in tanks.
Thank you. They live close to St Petersburg so not in real danger, yet. They rooted pretty hard, but who knows what can happen. Never thought I’ll be living in England, but here I am.Here's hoping they stay safe and can move soon.
He was unpredictable and willing to act.
Some speculate that Mr Putin also wants to test US President Joe Biden, who has taken a tougher stance on Russia than his predecessor, Donald Trump, had.
A+ reporting, who is "Some" and what is this tougher stance? Sounds like a thoroughly researched opinion piece, so glad its financed by the taxpayer, consider me convinced by your top notch arguements.
When asked if he would directly condemn Russia and Mr Putin on election meddling, Mr Trump said his intelligence officials - including Director of Intelligence Dan Coats - have told him "they think it's Russia". Mr Putin, he continued, just told him it's not Russia.
"I don't see any reason why it would be," Mr Trump concluded, apparently leaning toward the Russian professions of innocence over the conclusions of his own government.
I guess by "Tougher stance" they mean believing your own intelligence agencies in favour of what Putin says?
Agreed, who knows what Ruskie has in mind, it's often borderline lunacy I do think people believe Russia is this mighty force though and don't realise that in fact their threat really only comes in nuclear form and even they understand that means game over for everyone.
Well they are the 4th largest navy, and the last time they met didn't go particularly well for Russia. I'd also imagine the Japanese fleet is more modern on the whole.I did see something recently where apparently even the Japanese Navy (that mighty naval nation) would be enough to deter Russia engaging in naval warfare.
It depends in which domain the Russians believe they are going to beat them. Do we know their intent? Do we know what their perception of a win entails? I don't think we have that criteria. Perhaps the info ops, cyber ops and EW domains are their mechanisms here and then who knows what they have planned and whether anyone will actually know if they've "won" or not.According to the Russian Defence Minister the deployed troops should be back to their home bases in about two weeks - that is confidence - they think Ukraine is that much of a push over?
Thank you. They live close to St Petersburg so
Haha, took me a moment, but noIn me?
