Updates and events in the War in Ukraine 2025
If they are, I suspect its for testing purposes, and in relatively small quantities. DPRK and iran aren't able to cover up deliveries; shipping and rail records ensure that. Large sclae transfer of Chinese weapons systems, which are now increasinglydifferent to the Soviet era would certainly require the movement of Russian military personnel into China for training. We know that, because that's exactly what Ukraine had to do in the West. Even equipment which is nominally of Soviet design. So far what Zelensky has said is that China has been providing engineers to Russian factories and possibly gunpowder. That's not quite the same as providing weapins systems. Its more about improving production yields. There is talk about Chinese company making weapons in Russia; that's somewhat curious. Is it Chinese companies making Chinese weapons in Russia, or a Chinese company has taken over a Russian company and is doing busonss Bild first came out in 2023 with claims about Chinese weapons on the battlefield, but they have been quiet about it since. There is evidence that China is analysing the battle space, and no doubt learning a lot about about. There might be some Chinese materiel invlvement, but nothng that is making any strategic difference. The fact that evidence hasn't yet been release; its been promised for next week, makes me think its not convincing or is ambiguous (ie. is Ukraine certain that Chinese munitions have come directly from China, rather than Russia obtaining the same munitions via a third party who just happens to buy from China. Iran is a major customer of China, for instance. Chinese arms exports footprint: 85% of Chinese Arms exports are to APAC, and 60% of that is to Pakistan. Possibly Myanmar is a source. Myanmar has been supplying Russia with mortar rounds https://militarnyi.com/en/news/russia-received-ammunition-manufactured-by-myanmar/ https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/russia-reimports-arms-parts-from-myanmar-and-india-aiming-at-improving-weapons-for-use-in-ukraine-customs-data-analysis-shows/ There is mutual benefit; Myanmar needs new ground attack aircraft in its civil war, and frankly, the RuAF has been pretty absent over Ukraine, so they have spares, maybe even spare pilots. Ukraine might present evidence of exploded munitions, analysing for parts of Chinese origin. From this, you can estimate, fairly accurately how much is entering Russian stockpiles. If it is the case (China is now a supplier), its further evidence, whatever happens, Putin's Russia is finished, and Russia is now a vassal of China. And China wants China back. -

Americans fed up with Trump
From TH or when you go back to OZ ... you keep in touch with a lot of Yanks in the USA, do you ? All you non Yanks not living in USA, telling us how we are so unhappy. My family & friends that live in the USA, will disagree with you. All like Trump being President instead of Harris. -

Thailand's Pavilion at Osaka Expo Faces Backlash for Missing Futuristic Mark
The theme of the event was the future. It's great that Thailand is successful at marketing their cultural traditions to the world, but that doesn't quite gel with an event based on ideas about the future. Thai people might "live in the moment", but that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be some that are looking to innovate and bring about positive change. True, things are exactly looking very positive in Thailand at the moment, but that's all the more reason to want to change. If that isn't being done, then that's another issue. Once that we (and probably most Thais) can't really do much about.
