And it certainly won’t be the end of it. I hope the appeasers realise that UKR would revert into occupied resistance with increasing willingness to spread the pain deep into Russia. At present it is fear of the opprobrium of supporters that is keeping them from launching strikes on general targets within Russia. If that support ceases all bets are off and I’d expect UKR to target Russian cities and use ‘terrorism’ tactics. Ultimately UKR could become a festering failed state where, without a highly supported central govt, rogue army units and individuals could mete out individual vigilante ‘justice’. UKR needs to be given all the arms it needs, regardless of provoking Russia as the least bad solution is actually (tragically) for Ukrainian soldiers and Russians to go on killing each other. A ceasefire only weakens UKR while R regroups and repopulates the occupied territory without any consequence.
I think Ukraine should just do an immediate concession of any city that is attacked by Russia to Germany or any Nato country for a period of time, then it means Russia is attacking a Nato country then they can go bomb the hell out of Putin. I don’t care how Russia will suffer economically but This war will not end until Ukraine is totally devastated if it continues without any intervention anywhere
Why might?
Just shoot the buggers down!
Russkies do love a good bully style provocations. Sweden, Syria… name it.

Nato should have sunk the Black Sea fleet by now. It’s so frustrating.
I just can not help thinking this will end up in a big mess so why wait?

Not only EU candidates but also EU itself should prepare for🇪🇺enlargement, Scholz said
“To do this, EU must modernize its structures and decision-making. It will not always be poss to decide everything unanimously, even if today procedure requires this”
But of course…
I like your optimism.
It’s a massive tragedy that it seems to have taken a war in Europe (and also the pandemic) to lay bare some of the significant failings of how the EU operates and where and why it needs fundamental reform.
Yeah. Sad but true. Now they’ll do pointless meetings and useless convos. Maybe when Putin will attack Finland, Poland or Baltics will speed their useless arses up. Or not. You never know these days.

the war isn’t in Russia, FFS. well done sir
Lots of questions here. I’ll have a go at this.
We’ve already seen that Russian forces aren’t strong enough to fight on three fronts. They have abandoned their attack from the North (Belarusian side) and concentrated on their advance along the Black Sea/Crimean side to the East/South which borders Russia itself and has marine access with defendable rail lines.
Lack of alternative energy sources, Europe heavily dependent on Russian oil to keep their homes heated and economy running. It’ll take YEARS to re-supply over a billion people with energy.
Russia has been planning this since the Crimea annexation (we know this now, for sure). I’m not certain that Ukraine will be able to fight the Russians off their soil, I think that Luhansk and Donbas will be taken from them and that the West doesn’t want to get involved beyond supplying armaments. Not sure how Ukraine pays for all of this, but it seems that Russia really wants that oil reserve in that area.
Russia has already arranged a coup in Kazakhstan to keep them complicit to the Kremlin. Belarus is already complicit to Russia. Others will follow, it’s inevitable. the common Russian means nothing to Putin, he will sacrifice his people to the oligarchy of power in his country.
Yes, China is helping Russia. Russia supplies China with a lot of their gas.
