This war it at stalemate now

Russia can continue to throw fodder unlimited at its defence lines without any notable public opp and the west will still only drip feed, f16 and ATACMS is a joke should have started 1 yr ago.

I think an negotiated peace will prevail.

Russia, its citizens and others half worlds pop stood behind this genocide

Western democracies and useless UN want to treat all equally is its failure, China is in the queue to do same with Taiwan.

The west stayed united for the most part but needs to take care of its own citizens not listening to George Soros and his ilk.

Have a good day.

And what does this peace deal look like?

Putin and his cronies get to keep the land they stole illegally and ride off into the sunset without being held accountable for all the war crimes they committed??

Is that what you think should be the peace deal?

Thanks for that information, that was very informative. Makes a lot of sense now.

In the previous incidents (ww1 /ww2) lessons were learned from ww1 and applied after ww2. The difference between post ww2, and the present war is that both Germany and Japan were totally defeated, and the allies had total control. This is not going to happen in this case, ( unless Russia itself is invaded, and I can't see that happening) But Russia can and will be ostracized, and economically and financially, they will be destroyed. That's happening already. So fast forward, Putin is defeated ( and maybe even dead) so what happens? He's replaced by one of the Silovicki, or the country descends into chaos, from which it will have to find its own way out of. Bottom line, this problem is one which Russians themselves will have to solve. And the West will need to strengthen and protect itself to guard itself against any future Russian ( or other) murderous adventures, and especially while Russia is in the throes of convulsions the aftermath of the war will bring.

absolutely the dumbest comment I have read in past 3 months

The old chess wisdom: don't count the captured pieces, count the ones on the board.

Uh...

Yesterdays report confirmed. That’s is a huge amount of dead soldiers.

Seeing it mentioned a bit more. Fingers crossed.

Listened to a sobering episode of War on the Rocks podcast yesterday. A very good point was made about how the seasoned Ukrainian soldiers in the east with older equipment are performing much better than the newly trained troops with the Western equipment in the south.

Other interesting opinions were -

• That F-16s will not likely not be the gamechanger people hope for
• There Russians appear to be rationing artillery. They still haven't a lack of equipment but are suffering ammo shortages at the front

An Inflection Point in Ukraine’s Counteroffensive - War on the Rocks

I find this quite worrying.

A potential Russian nuclear/chemical decontamination (used for decontaminating troops) unit destroyed by Ukrainian FPV drone close to the front, first one seen in Ukraine. He also says it could be a laundry truck, but I doubt that the Russians are doing any trench laundry.

I hope Putin is defeated and the next administration in seeking forgiveness for the sins of Putin, releases lists of all the Putin actors all over the world.

Go one better and show how the money fed into their accounts.

And sure enough, any mild criticism of the "original" Dambusters is greeted with apoplexy in the Conservative British press, but doing that sort of thing nowadays is a war crime. Here's the Daily Telegraph quivering with rage about the BBC daring to call Operation Chastise "Infamous".
