Ukraine war: Zelensky says Israel-Gaza conflict taking focus away from fighting
bbc.co.uk

The Israel-Gaza war is "taking away the focus" from the conflict in Ukraine, the country's President Volodymyr Zelensky has admitted.

He said this was "one of the goals" of Russia, which launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

And he denied that fighting in Ukraine had reached a stalemate, despite a recent assessment to this effect by the country's top military general.

Ukraine's counter-offensive in the south has so far made little headway.

This has prompted fears of war fatigue among Kyiv's Western allies, with suggestions of growing reluctance in some capitals to continue giving Ukraine advanced weapons and funds.

Let us know by what time you think China will invade Taiwan.

When that year comes and the invasion doesn't happen, either admit you're wrong or double-down.

he said source.

as in, reason us why? china has clearly expressed this desire over Taiwan, why wouldn't it invade ever at all on a timeline?

I don't care what he said.

How much time needs to pass before you admit you're wrong?

But except for you, I'm not calling people out for their account age.

Yes. Glad you have some reading comprehension. You have just a bit more to go to get the point.

Generally speaking, you should consider that some of them are actually bots/shills sowing unrest to shape a narrative.

Okay. 10 years. 20? How much time needs to pass before you admit when you're wrong?

When do you think China is going to invade Taiwan? 1000 years from now? Lol.

While they been talking about it for a long time, true, what's change is that in recent times they've been building up their military forces a lot, and doing very political/military moves in the waters between them. They're definitely ramping up on their actions and/or responses, signaling, probing. And this is new.

How far that escalation goes, nobody knows, but usually if somebody says they're going to do something, you should take them at their word that they're going to do what they said they were going to do, at some point in time.

What's wrong with you?

I'm allergic to bullshit

Alright. Let me know when China invades Taiwan and then I can admit when I'm wrong.

Alright. Let me know when China invades Taiwan and then I can admit when I’m wrong.

When that happens, we'll all be worrying about other very more important things than your fragile ego, to take the time to let you know.

Right. I won't hold my breath.

Wow, you didn't just move the goal posts, you shipped them cross state.

And that ratio, yikes!

Dang, you're really dedicated to this.

Lol, gonna block you now. Getting annoying seeing you reply to all my posts.

Dang, you’re really dedicated to this.

Do you really lack self-awareness? lol

I really think they do - looking at their comment history (after they commented on one of mine) Im not sure if they are trump-level clueless or a troll... think they are the most downvoted user I've seen on here.

The guy replied to say he's blocking me.. OH NO.

Anyway.

I don't click on people's profiles then respond to all their posts, lol.

Gonna block you too, though. Thanks for the reply.

There's this thing, it's called, "scrolling down", when reading a conversation topic.

Nice attempt to 'Kill the Messenger' though.

Dang, you’re really dedicated to this.

It's called normal scrolling, and seeing your next comment.

Lol, gonna block you now. Getting annoying seeing you reply to all my posts.

Actually, this is not the first time you told me you were blocking me. Please try to get it right this time.

If you can't handle disagreement with your opinions, move on, or stick your head in the sand, aka block.

Oh no, how dare they start a vicious campaign of... replying to your comments.

By 2080 either China will invade Taiwan or have a completely different government. There is no way the CCP doesn't invade Taiwan by then

I predict that by the time I'm dead and no one can tell me I was wrong...

Cool. I guess most of us will be dead by then, so we never really get to see if you're right or wrong.

Great argument.
