This is such a silly take. Anyone who has ever been to war, trained for war, or who understands geopolitical conflict, understands that there are only winners and losers. The winners do what it takes to win. Russia made a major tactical error in invading Ukraine and assuming that the wealthy...

Please understand me. Western people are not saints. I am not taking a moral high ground. This world is about winners and losers. That's it. I'm not suggesting what the Ukrainians are doing to Russian POW's is right. Only that it's the natural state of human order. We're awful to each other...

I agree with that summary entirely. Which is why the people must be made to suffer in line with their leadership. If they are going to be supportive of the effort, my hope is that their loved ones are sent to Ukraine to be mamed and killed. If it's at the hands of a Ukrainian, using a Western...

I suspect that they have a quite a few more operational pieces of armor, despite their 3rd world maintenance practices. All the more more reason for the West to ramp up their production and distribution of anti-tank weapons that open up the Russian armor like tin cans.

I have no doubt it's complicated, but the people must be made to suffer for the sins of the leadership that they are not brave enough to dispose of. Let us hope that the slaughter of the sons of Russia continues to be significant, and the continued evisceration of their economy, personal...

They need to be absolutely vicious and ruthless in retaking Kherson. Take no prisoners. Cause them to flee, or shoot them dead in the streets. Terrorize them with drone strikes. Target infantry in their sleep. The counter offensive needs to be brutal and terrifying. Ideally, as the Ukrainians...

Everybody steps all over the Geneva convention in war. War is not about good guys and bad guys, it's about winners and losers and those that are willing to do what it requires to win. The rest it just outside politics. I disagree with your take on conscripts. They will aboalutely follow the...

People probably don't want to hear this, but a superior tactic for breaking the morale of enemy combatants that are conscripts, is putting fear into their minds, that should they be caught, it's going to be terrible for them. When you are already psychologically terrified and don't want to be...

The simple reality of war is that whether "right", or not, if you invade your neighbour, commit war crimes towards their civilian population, indiscriminately shell civilians and starve them, purposely bomb areas harboring children, loot their stores and homes, and use white phosphorus and...

I'll be curious to see if Ukraine has enough resources to the Northeast of Kyiv to break the siege. Don't want to see Mariupol 2.0. Despite the pro-Ukrainian propaganda, they're still deeply outgunned in numerous areas and the Russians are very much in control in the Chernihiv, Mariupol and...

It's a poverty country in so many ways. How, outside of sheer incompetence, does Russia, a country with vast resources and 146 million people, have a lesser GDP than friggen Canada (36 million people)? The ruble is, essentially, Monopoly money. What a disaster.

Russia doesn't want world war. They know very well that outside of escalating to nuclear threat that their military would be annihilated by NATO and the West, the country would be ruined economically and the bread lines in Russia would be as long as the eye could see. Their military is...

Greeks are going to Greek... Are they still bankrupt and in economic shambles. Essentially the EU's charity case? Nothing against the Greek people, but it's hard to care what their extremists might think, when the mainstream of their country can't seem to even get it together.

Now, of course, the the real battle starts. Does Ukraine have enough in reserve and enough logistical prowess and are their supply lines from NATO strong enough, to thwart what will be a strong, face saving push to capture territory in the Donbas? This will be Ukraine's largest test. Russia is...

Any of those assets that are UK based, should immediately be sold off in support of the Ukrainian war effort . As many weapons and ammunition, military supplies and as much food, medical supplies, etc as money can buy.

The Ukrainians need, desperately, to find a way to reinforce eastern Ukraine, with battalion sized units, from the Western Ukraine. Their eastern forces need to be ressuplied in the worst possible way. Any regular army units / experienced foreign fighters that can relocated from Lviv, Kyiv and...

Current tally of known foreign weapons that have been pledged to Ukraine. This list isn't exhaustive, however, some countries have not disclosed what they've sent / or the quantity of what they've sent. USA: 4600 Javelin anti-tank weapons. 1400 stinger missiles. 2000 light anti-tank weapons...

Two significant issues that will face the Ukrainian Forces moving forward. 1). Lack of armored vehicles for the purpose of offensives. Ukraine has plenty of "manpower" to execute defensive strategies, however, what they need to be able to do is make meaningful counter offensives. They're a...

It's way more likely that the Ukrainians got some Tochka-U's in range and that the Russians were able to intercept them in time. The West needs to provide the Ukrainians with some land based, anti-ship missiles, ASAP, so that the Russians ships in the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea have to...

I understand that, I guess my question is whether or not you'd rather it continue in silent, or whether you'd rather your government come out publically?
