Not sure if “buy” is the right word. More likely to arrange for an internal uprising then come to the rescue whilst Moscow is too weak to do anything about it. Quick and dodgy referendum and all of a sudden China is 20% bigger and Russia is 10% smaller.

Really interesting that Russia is celebrating holding territory when as a supposed ‘super power’ they are losing it against 3rd generation weapons.

More Russian stuff blowing up: ATACMS missiles arrive, take out Russian helicopter airfield

The ATACMS have arrived. And they have made quite an entrance. The Russians have already found out about ATACMS. Here is what one of the Russian "military bloggers" wrote: "The morning is not good. Ukrainians stroke (struck?) with ATACMS missiles on...
