Russian invasion of Ukraine

Tibet, South Korea.
And to a lesser degree (border skirmishes): India, Soviet Union.

But that’s generally the 50’s,60’s and 70’s. So in recent years not much.

But I can see Taiwan getting a bit nervous. Iirc the Chinese did a mock invasion (fleet, aircraft deployed into waters around Taiwan) in the last week… which given the US posturing of the past month around Venezuela, prior to its actual direct action…

Tibet, which had been part of chinese territory for 300 years and before that part of the mongol empire until us brits used it as a buffer zone against tsarist russia in the early 1900a and which was ran for 40 years as a vassel state in the ROC ruled by a few dali lamas who proclaimed it independant and installed forced slavery and serfdom?
with finally the last one fleeing and the nocey fucker has lived a life of luxury being wanked off by the western leaders ever since and had no intention of returning.

Taiwan, or as known officially the republic of china is still in a civil war with the mainland and in a perpetual truce that either side could break legitimately at any time as the ROC still claims the mainland as their soveriegn territory under occupation.

China is never going to invade other continents or sub continents and send armies to fight wars unless to defend itself, China has alway used soft power and political influence rather than military invasion to control or coerce Asia and South East Asia and it uses the same tactic globally now investing in Africa and South Amreica, building infrastructure and influencing nations to become partners not colonies, It is domestically where they are brutal.

And btw I am no fan of Xi and his government, but I also don't fear China bombing my house or starting a regional war where America I don't trust not to

Stealing chunks of continental shelf belonging to Vietnam and the Philippines of late.
 
Something I had hoped Ukraine would have done a while back in some form. Russian Shahed drone’s with ManPad anti air units attached.

A man-portable air defence system (MANPADS) has been found for the first time on a Russian Shahed-type attack drone. Russian forces have likely installed it to counter Ukrainian aircraft.

No, the Coalition

Unfortunately, I suspect Putin won't give a fuck what the coalition announce unless and until the yanks are clearly and unconditionally engaged.
That's not the case as yet.
My original comment was not about forming opinion regarding what the coalition may or may not be doing - merely speculation that the Russians could launch a huge attack tonight as a mark of "strength".
Let's see, perhaps they'll capitulate...
