I haven’t jumped to any conclusions, merely asked a question.

There was no question. You made a conjectural statement and drew an inference based on your own conjecture rather than any solid information..

Well that’s true of all countries. But I wonder if we have a new Chinese mindset. Not prepared to squander their investment to doctor Ak.

"But I wonder if we have a new Chinese mindset."
OK, there's no question mark? Rhetorical or otherwise, that remains a question

It's a statement of what you were doing i.e. wondering.

Wondering or not, why not just find out if we are seeing one instead?

There's been more than a smattering of affectionate mortar fire aimed in the region of Donetsk airport over the last few days.

Won't be news unless there is a retaliation though.

More from Twitter about the Voronezh Russian Army encampment. If Ukraine is in a particularly rash mood, it seems an attractive 'get your retaliation in first' type of target.

Seemingly from about 2013: 'Chief Designer and CEO of Pivdenne Design Bureau Oleksandr Dehtiariov said that the missile complex is currently being created in the interests of a foreign customer under the name of Thunder. And thanks to the completion of the development of the Thunder project, the Sapsan missile project will make progress as well. The missile system designed for foreign countries will have a range of up to 280 km. The Ukrainian modification of the missile will have a range of up to 500 km.'

You think it's not possible to find anything out except by direct experience?

Those 12 years of compulsory education were a bit of a waste, then.

Looks like they’re getting ready for a distraction effort with their own people, for when Navelny croaks.
