  1. In all due respect to the military experts like Major (ret.) Mike Lyons, and as someone living 2,000 kilometers from Kiev, after nearly one full year of the Ukraine war, I predict that President Putin will throw in the towel, fold his hand and/or accept defeat in this high-stakes poker game he has famously called a military exercise when the Ukraine takes Crimea in or around180 days from now, which I believe is the Ukrainians end game. The Ukraine will never be secure if Crimea remains in Russian hands. The ports of Odessa would be at the mercy of the Russian navy and the coastal cities of the Sea of Azov would be under Russian domination. This is the winning formula: Ukraine + Crimea = checkmate for the Russian army, navy and air force. A change of regime will follow with Putin retiring to his billion-dollar dacha and Europe and Russia and the Ukraine can focus on getting everyone and everything on the mend. A general from the UK called 'Chip' said that to win any conflict in the 21st century you need: Air superiority, the element of surprise, shock tactics and a solid offensive strategy. Boys and girls, this is doable and we've got to supply the Ukrainians for what it takes to win a 21st century conflict. I think you all agree that you've got the best fighting army in the world thanks to the UK's massive training operations and transfer of weapons, America’s unbelievable support and NATO countries and its allies as well. We must all now concentrate on making Putin's offramp out of power as smooth as possible. In six months, this war will be winding down---and then the task of mending the terrible battle wounds, restoring cultural ties and rebuilding that two great nations will have to endure for decades.
