Summary

Germany warns that Russia is rearming faster than expected, replacing war losses and stockpiling tanks, missiles, and drones.

Putin has redirected Russia’s economy to fuel its military, aided by supplies from Iran and North Korea.

While there’s no clear evidence of plans to attack NATO, Russia is creating the conditions for it.

On the Ukraine front, Russian forces are advancing in south Donetsk, nearing strategic town Pokrovsk, a key supply hub and coal mining center.

Analysts suggest Putin aims to seize land before potential peace talks.

    There’s no common ground between someone who thinks “likely” is a synonym for “certain” and someone who doesn’t. The latter isn’t confused.

      Does it just say likely? No. It says very likely, like It’s very likely you haven’t actually looked up the word likely in a thesaurus or for that matter a dictionary.

      having a high probability of occurring or being true : very probable

      Add a very and that’s very very probable.

      Now onto “sure”

      marked by or given to feelings of confident certainty

        I don’t know what to tell you. When asked if something was going to happen in the future if something else happened first, you responded with “Yes.”

        You either have a crystal ball or you’re loosely interpreting English.

        Best of luck to you either way.

          No it means I’m confident of it’s certainty, you just read the fuckin definition. What exactly is confusing you.

              used to give an affirmative response.

              Correct, I am certain NATO would respond. You’re confused bud, I couldn’t be more clear.

                    Yeah that’s very likely to help you figure out where you went wrong.

                    See how I didn’t say it was definitely going to help? Because even though most people are capable of figuring out such a mistake, I can’t see into the future?
