How do you feel about that?
I suppose that is our fault too.
Don't take it so personally.

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.

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.

It would annexe Crimea. Tall order, but wouldn't bet against it.

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

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

Who cares . If they are mad enough to use them then that will be the last thing they will ever do . No winners in a nuclear confrontation , only losers . Anyway what's the difference between that and having American nukes stationed on British soil .?
LOL yeah who cares about the whole of Europe being wiped out? Saddos!

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.

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?

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?

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

" Democracies don't arrest opposition MP''s .. Do you mean like the Democrats in America going after their main Republican rival ?

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.
