Since you regularly post pro Kremlin points, perhaps you can explain how this is not an escalation?
“All sides must cease the current unlimited supply of weapons into Ukraine which has cost hundreds of thousands of lives.”
Jesus, they have gone all accountant. They see the cost in everything but not the value.
Anyway the majority of those 100s of 1000s of lives are Russian. I'll light a candle.
If it wasn't for the extremely limited supply of arms the majority would be Ukrainian.
That's before we get into the gang rapes, mass child kidnappings and serial torture.
Not one bit surprised. As someone who lives close to Shannon and has seen the protests there lately, it's full of left wing puppets. They're not anti war, they are simply anti West. For some reason they identify with socialist/ Communist ideology. It's baffling really
SF suggesting the suppliers of arnaments to UKr to STOP all the carnage, I note that it must have forgotton to also suggest that India , Brazil, Hungry, et al should stop buying Russian oil which is substantially funding the war on the RU side; ask NK to stop supplying arnaments and soldiers to RUSSIA ; ask Iran to stop sending drones to RUssia ; ask Belarus to stop providing land , etc, to aru from which to launch an attack, etc, etc, etc, etc. Maybe this was just a typing error or maybe one of the pages of the document got inadvertently mislaid. Why not give SF the benefit of the doubt!!!!!
At the end of this war they won't be able to repair their disintegrating infrastructure or housing for want of money/skilled labor. And by the time they are ready to fix it, it will have degraded into compost.
If they can target the remaining ammo dumps they can set Russia back by 6(?) or 12(?) months.
Of course it is an escalation. Hopefully that is the end of the escalations.
I still can’t believe not a single party has addressed our blatant disregard for our own defence.
I believe the only thing I saw from labour was that they will defend our neutrality. **** off
I don't think he is a great admirer of Putin at all. I think without doubt the Russians have intel on him or members of his family. There is simply no other reason for that level of subservience, publicly and privately.
It could be argued that Trump now for the first time has leverage over Putin. But I'm not going to try and guess what that dotard will or won't do.
But the reality is if Trump and his ghouls set off a chain reaction that leads to Russian tanks in Kyiv, then Americas standing in the world will be severely diminished, probably unrepairable.
The EU will inevitable change relations East. Taiwan will become Americas sole problem and the support for alliances in the middle east will shift.
In 20-30 years time you will have a far more militarised Europe, you could even see the likes of Poland and Finland become nuclear powers as NATO seizes to be a club that guarantees security.
There is your basis for WW3.
Are you willing to enlist?
Naive Sinn Fein are still living back in 1916 or 1923. Mary Lou has continual fantasies about chasing the Brits. up O'Connell St. with a musket as they run for the boat in terror.
That must have given folk manning Aegis Ashore site in Poland a conniption this morning!
An indication of the state of Russia's "conventional" missile stockpile? Resorting to using ICBM to strike at Ukraine.
Probably more an attempt to 'respond' to the US and UK allowing their missiles to be fired at targets in Russia.
It would of been messaged to the Pentagon without a doubt. They still have open channels with them.
No official comment from the Kremlin yet though.
Heavy attack-

Also Peskov does not comment on the reports.
This is the thing, I think you've hit the nail on the head with Trump, no one has a clue what he'll do as his opinions seem to change in the wind. He could start a conversation with Europe that would agree for X amount of weapons bought from the states that he'll keep the support flowing. He could decide that Putin is on his last legs and try and push the Russians back with his own troops if he believes there is an easy win. He could just as easily cancel all military "aid" and instead say if you want help, buy it. Or he may just ignore the whole thing and let the status quo continue. ultimately, the "aid" for Ukraine has been an economical boon for the states so I can see them stopping it. Their manufacturing for weapons is ramping up and the manufacturing industry is one that his voters represent so they will be happy with the money this is generating. That's not even considering that for 0 boots on the ground, the US military are seeing arguably their greatest rival getting obliterated just by sending over old weapons due to be destroyed and charging for new ones. But I think if he decides to cut off aid and force a settlement, I think he may be surprised to find out that Ukraine may not be interested and there are elements of Europe that will help, especially in the baltics, to back them up. And regardless of how prevalent the failure to meet demand is for the munitions being developed in Europe is, the reality is that production IS increasing. That alone is a very positive message
The Russians are already running into serious issues with refurbishing Soviet era war stock engines for their Kh101 & KH55 cruise missiles.
Production rate of new missiles appears bottlenecked by engine production rates so refurbed engines are being used on new missiles. Leading to growing numbers of launch failures. Reports of missiles being released from Tu95s that are failing nearly immediately.
There's a lot of anecdotal reports of this on telegram groups. Below is a twitter thread of same.
Couple these reports with the collapse in Russian Railway transport and their logistics are collapsing. They are benefitting from huge soviet era war stock but even that has limits.
How Russia manages it's "skilled" aerospace & engineering workforce will massively impact just how many cruise missiles it can launch as the war continues. This can already be seen in the reduction of the frequency of mass cruise missile launches. The reliance on shaheed and other attack drones also point to restrictions in supply of more advanced weaponry that were very common earlier in the war.
Maybe Biden and Starmer escalate further now eh Josip ?
We've heard since March 2022 that any day now the Russian military will collapse. If it is collapsing why is Russia winning this war on the battlefield? But any day now…
Launching ballistics against cities just shows that Russia has a massive inferiority complex.
A US official has denied Ukraianian claims an ICBM was launched by Russia.

All container freight on russian railways has been halted. There are already reports of long delays for consumer logistics (understandable in a war economy TBF)
The "imminent" collapse of Russian logistics that was posited early in the war was predicated upon the lack of western spares and resupply. Simple things such as the lack of ball bearings and the ability to cast railway wheels at scale never lead to immediate collapse. It's a slow decline before affected systems grind to a halt if alternatives aren't found. The Chinese are that Russians great hope for ensuring that ball bearing supplies can meet demand. Already causing issues and again, being worked around but not eliminated.
Hopefully. What's Putin's next red line?
At first slowly, then suddenly.
Interesting. Why would Ukraine make the claim if it didn't hold any truth?
Kermit is right though unfortunately. A lot of these claims are more in hope than anything else.
A western official in the US says it doesn't appear to be an ICBM. Not exactly how you phrased it
There is only one. What is Nato's ?
It's the same tactic since the start. They need to try and rope the west deeper in to the war. Understandably from their perspective but when false it needs to be called out.
