Re: Russia / Ukraine Watch
If the emerging evidence on OSINT channels is correct, the tankies may be a tad disappointed with how things appear to be unfolding on the battlefield.
UA paying a heavy price, but it looks like they are making good progress towards Mariupol. If they take that then that's it for RU logistics.

Re: Russia / Ukraine Watch
What about a Russian counter offensive against the Ukraine offensive? They must have built up reserves/strong defences in the last 6 months and they have air superiority. Don't get me wrong I want to see the Russians driven out but I'm thinking stalemate at this stage.Dunners wrote: ↑Sun Jun 11, 2023 6:52 pm If the emerging evidence on OSINT channels is correct, the tankies may be a tad disappointed with how things appear to be unfolding on the battlefield.

It would annexe Crimea. Tall order, but wouldn't bet against it.Dunners wrote: ↑Sun Jun 11, 2023 6:52 pm If the emerging evidence on OSINT channels is correct, the tankies may be a tad disappointed with how things appear to be unfolding on the battlefield.

Wonder how the Wagner group not agreeing to sign Putin's contract will play out

Re: Russia / Ukraine Watch
Bit late with this, but reports yesterday of Ukrainian forces crossing the Dnipro River could be highly significant. May put Crimea into play

The way discussion is currently conducted on this board, I fully expect his response to be “I never said ‘who cares’”

It's either the climate or nukes that will do us in. Might as well go for the quick option.Proposition Joe wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 10:21 amLOL yeah who cares about the whole of Europe being wiped out?

Re: Russia / Ukraine Watch
It could get a bit spicy if Russia does implode. Best outcome may be for a military coup, as they'd be the least worst option for control of the nukes.
If it looks like any of the private military groups or crime gangs are within a chance of getting them then we could have the prospect of NATO, Iran, India, Japan, China, Kazakhstan, the Taliban, Chechens et al having to decide on whether to invade and seize them. Imagine that lot all stumbling about within Russia's borders and stepping in each other's toes whilst engaging in a shooting match with the various competing Russian forces?

Re: Russia / Ukraine Watch
But the special operation is almost 18 months further on and Ukraine isn't going to win.
Is he right to argue for peace talks or should the war be escalated with NATO intervention?

Re: Russia / Ukraine Watch
Ukraine is an American client state, ever since they ousted Viktor Yanukovych in 2014, & a pro Western leader was put in his place
Ukraine isnt a democracy. Democracies dont arrest opposition Mp's, nor do they ban media with opposing views, both of which Ukraine has done.
The war will end when America wants it too, and only then.
Im no fan of Putin, believe me, but America is the real bad guy in this war, once again

Are you referring to the American judicial system investigating alleged criminal behaviour by an ex-President? Because that isn't what you've described above.RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 22, 2023 1:41 pm" Democracies don't arrest opposition MP''s ..
