Ukraine War. 2022-

A long article on Russian logistics: Logistics Collapse

 

Looks like the security forces of UK/USA think the Russians are running out of things to war with and I assume come the winter months the stalemate will continue hopefully with Ukraine receiving the longer range weapons in numbers

Good news the grain stockpile now appears to have a plan being put in place for sending to the countries that need it

 

Been to both but back in 2005 when a chum was heading the NATO mission to Russia. Cripes, how totally bizarre that sounds. Went to the Red Army museum in Moscow and saw all the Wehrmacht banners dumped in front of Stalin during the Red Square victory parade. Don’t think I would fancy a similar trip today.

 

Navy and air force personnel, old reservists, green recruits with insufficient training and poorly equipped militias to the front?
For me as a German, this somehow sounds very familiar....
I'm pretty sure I've read about something similar before...

 

Along with other comparisons people have made between Putin and Hitler here's another one. It seems, like the Nazis1938 Munich agreement with Chamberlain any signed agreements with Russia is not worth the paper it's written on. Only 24 hours after signing a well publicised agreement to allow grain exports from Ukraine to resume they bomb Odessa.
And true to form it wasn't them, maybe they been listening to that 90's shaggy song a lot.

 

News releases on National Media have become interesting for a change. I am sure that tis has not been overlooked and quite deliberate.
The same rules apply as in the past. Who is Fooling Who.?
Personal analysis I will keep to myself but consider this:
The uk is training UA troops in this country.
We are soon to deliver two mine sweepers to their Navy. (hope they are already close to their new home).
The RN has tracked two RF Submarine's in the North Sea.. (nothing unusual so why bother)
RF was seeking to destroy Harpoon missiles stored in Odessa.
UA are steadily advancing on Kherson.

Repeating Operation Fortitude or a media windup.

Perhaps its that Covid bug causing illusions.

 

Two pointers. One, to an article in The Economist: How heavy are Russian casualties in Ukraine?

Second, a series of tweets by a recently retired Australian Army general on the leadership shown by President Zelensky. You don't need to access twitter for this: Thread by @WarintheFuture on Thread Reader App

 

Seems like Poland is taking its defence quite seriously as they are planing a new big military deal with South Korea.

An intriguing report of an interview:

From the UK Russian embassy

how we allow this scum to stay in our country

militants deserve execution, but death not by firing squad but by hanging, because they’re not real soldiers. They deserve a humiliating death.

Because the UK is not at war with Russia, they are part of a legitimate diplomatic mission, and they are protected by the same freedom / hate speech laws that allow British jihadi's to explicitly promote ISIS propaganda.

If you were going to remove foreign officials from the UK who are part of violent regimes or governments, you wouldn't have many left in the country.

 

Yes you are right
Free speech and all that

you are a good Umpire

 

OK
