Guess what, there was a time when even USSR thought of joining NATO, but the motive was same a modern day Russia. We all know NATO was made to counter USSR (current day Russia). This was purely a part of Russian strategy, if they let USSR join NATO back then the whole point of existence of NATO would become pointless and if they refused, Russia would get to show the world the proof that the alliance was against them, enabling them to make their own. Russia is the successor of USSR.

I am not justifying any side, I am just explaining each side. Peace can only be brought through understanding of both oneself and the other. It is best that the world knows about all the sides involved in a conflict.

You didn’t get what I meant, lemme explain. See the world map and you will notice, in the east, Japan and South Korea have presence of US military, In the West (around central west more accurately), Turkey is a part of the NATO alliance and so is Poland in the West of Ukraine which also borders it. Now imagine how a country would feel being sorrounded by its worst enemy from all the sides, this would have had definitely become the case if Ukraine joined NATO if its biggest enemy, it is totally unacceptable and this is the exact reason of Russian aggression towards Ukraine. The thing is, Russia is deliberately not trying to end or win this war. If Russia captures all of Ukraine, then Poland and Romania will become its immediate neighbours who are already a part of the NATO. The problem would still remain the same. If Russia stops the war then Ukraine will immediately join NATO which it is not able to do now as NATO does not makes countries already engaged in war a part of it. The goal is to keep NATO away from immediate Russian neigborhood.

The best thing Russia can do is prolong the war to the extent which Ukraine cannot afford it, establish a puppet goverenment and leave, Ukraine in such a case would work as a wall between Russia and NATO.

Do you really think Russia is failing, and even if it is, if USA launches a boots on the ground operation Iran, the resources would definitely shift from Ukraine to Iran where USA is directly engaged, and when this significant aid is stopped, Russia will definitely get an upper hand.

I mean man he may act dumb but that does not mean he necesarrily is one. The real point is, wheather the toddler is ready to pay the price of Invading Iran, which will be all of its competing major powers landing in a better position.

I am not saying that there was no airframe loss, but the sheer numbers advocated are fake. wheater you accept it or not, Rafael is the best in its class for a 4.5 gen fighter. The main goal of OP Sindoor was to attack and destroy Pakistani terrorist camps and military outposts which was achieved, in a conflict you cannot expect no loss, but the thing that matters is that wheather you achieved your target or not. Multipl Pak airbases were targeted and many grounded fighter jets were destroyed as well by India, I have shown multiple proves about that on this community and they are actually verified IAF sources but the most of the clips shown by PAF are highly questionable. So the losses were on both the sides, but the difference was, India was able to achieve its targets.

Maybe because no rafael never fell. Pakistan has shown no viable proof for it. We may be buying it becuase they were effective?
