  1. As a Brit I have many friends & relations in Canada and watched the Truckers and the Canadian Piiolice and the Covid nonsense unfold and all that went on during the last 4 years or so is exactly the opposite of how Canadians usually react to authoritarian dictates ...weird 180 degree turn around ?? The one thing I can say about my Canadian friends & relations is not to try any kind of bullying on them or police pushing them about. For a start they are big fellas !

  2. Окружение украинцев на Донбассе? Может быть. Но со временем весьма вероятно более широкое окружение российской армии в районе Восточной Украины в большой неорганизованной каше. Россияне играют в гостях. Партизанская война всегда имеет ДОМАШНЕЕ преимущество. .

  3. When Democracy is threatened there is always dark times. Winston Churchill aimed for the "sunny uplands". Russia is so sad, they hardly ever get good times. Seems flat and gloomy forevermore

  4. Encirclement of Ukrainians in the Donbass? May be. But over time, a wider encirclement of the Russian army in the region of Eastern Ukraine in a large unorganized mess is very likely. The Russians are playing away. Guerrilla warfare always has a HOME advantage. .

  5. SomethIng gone wrong for the Russian Army in this conflict. A new style of warfare is emerging. The Kurds in 2014 fought back from Kobane to Raqqa using men and women soldiers under "mission command" which is the opposite to "central command". Read Long Shot by Azud Cudi and see how the Kurds did it. In Ukraine its starting to look the same : Man portable weapons guided by citizen trackers on phones. But this time combatting lumbering WW 2 type weapons like rocket launchers and tanks. Russian Soldiers seem not to know why or where they are. Make your bets. (No one thought the Kurds(Peshmerga) could win either.

  6. Free & Fair Elections versus all the rest . 'Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…' Winston S Churchill, 11 November 1947
