  1. Trump is probably going to think that if he provides Starmer and Macron with air cover or any kind of security guarantee, they are going to create a mess of things in Ukraine, making negotiations about resolving the situation in Ukraine impossible. In any case, there is potential for the European forces to either willfully or unintentionally act in ways that could exceed certain tolerable limits, leading to some conflagration or crisis that might result in widening the war. Given the uncertainties, Trump will be unwilling to consent to sending European troops into Ukraine, in whatever capacity they might portray themselves.

  2. If at first you don't succeed, try and try again.

  3. Russians are holding territory they conquered from Ukraine. Is that what you call a collapse?

  4.  @arthurtane6505  Either way, it could be an exciting movie since a lot of emotion is invested on all sides.

  5. If and when Europe gets into serious trouble, the US will be extremely reluctant to help militarily, mostly because Europe will have acted against the position of the Americans. The most that can be expected is that the US would consult with Russia to seek a resolution to such a conflict.

  6. If Ukraine used "Green" vehicles, they wouldn't burn so well. Admittedly, they couldn't drive as far for so long, but that is another matter.

  7. Maybe there are museums around Europe that house exhibits of Western tanks from the past. Why not refurbish them and send them to Ukraine?

  8. It's hard to imagine a 1500 kg bomb "gliding." It's sort of like visualizing a Calvin Klein lingerie model doing ballet.

  9.  @jackklugman107  90% of MSM?

  10. Angelina Baerbock is misunderstood in her claim that tanks can take on a new identity. She operates under the Woke ideology that you can be whatever you wish to be, and whatever you identify with. So just like men can become women by simply declaring so, German Leopard tanks can assume any identity, in this case being Ukrainian. This means that if it's true Russia captured some Leopard tanks and is using them, they are Russian Leopard tanks. Not sure if Russia has shells that fit a Leopard tank.

  11. Ethically, morally, Israel is wrong. And the resolution will just show us the military and political powers. Who will win. The US, or everyone else?

  12. You've got to be kidding. Ukraine has Rambo, and he is running the 47th Brigade !? Well then it's all over for the Russians. If the Vietnamese Communists couldn't defeat Rambo, what chances does Russia have?

  15. This solution will not be liked by anybody. But this is the only clean solution. Jordan needs to isolate a strip of land on the East Bank. It would become the state of Palestine. Making the West Bank into a Palestinian state is not logistically possible. After all, Jordanians are Palestinians. Israelis are concerned about the skinny waist in the middle of their country. They believe it poses a military threat, so establishing a Palestinian state on the East Bank will take care of that problem. The only thing I am unable to work out is water. Can East Bank live with the water that is available there.

  16.  @olliefoxx7165  I will try to answer your comment in the most fair way possible. What we are trying to find is the most acceptable solution to many opposing wills. It is like trying to please everyone, but everyone hates each other. So the solution has to be the path of least resistance. I don't know what your background in physics is. But to understand the principle, it is in energy. Go look up Boltzmann's annealing principle. As far as oil goes, let Israel have it. What I propose is that Palestinians move into a single contiguous peace of land, and that Israel finances and enables the transition. What other options are there? Killing two million Palestinians? Egypt will not accept them. Well, let's see if the powers of the world still have some sense yet.

  17. If Russians start using T-34s, then they are probably running out of new tanks.

  18. I cannot see the West sending $7 billion a month to Ukraine. They would rather send Freedom and Democracy. This money will be needed for long after the war ends.

  19. Jeezus! I am not even believing I am entering this conversation. There is a simple resolution to the Palestinian "problem," just as the "Jewish Problem" existed in Germany. It might not seem jn parallel, but I am using this imagery on purpose. Start with a chicken soup from scratch. There will be circles forming, circles of fat. And for the most part, they will not join to become larger circles. This is the situation in the West Bank. Palestinians are isolated in bubbles. They need to be given their own land, that is conjoined and managed by them. The excuse that Israel's security could be compromised by a squeezing of its country around its waist does not apply today. That used to be the rule in WWII, when logistics determined everything.

  20. Instead of a land line, Olaf Scholz should try calling Russia on their mobile phones. If they are anything like my daughters, they will be on their mobile phones during all waking hours.

  21.  @HNH421  I don't think North Korea cares about me. It will be hard to get them to do anything for me. But why do you think I need reinforcements? For what purpose?

  22. That's all very nice, but now that the US thoroughly pissed off Russia, Russia will help every effort around the world to oppose US hegemony.

  23. NATO will introduce a new rule, which says that Hungary has to shut up and not associate with Turkey, at least not till the leadership of both countries become more reasonable.

  24. If it's true that Russians destroyed a battery of Ukrainian S-300 launchers, could that be called "assault on a battery"?

  25.  @z-America  You might not be acquainted with the legal concept in the English-speaking world called "Assault and Battery." And if you don't know that legal name, you probably don't understand the joke.

  26. The recent military activities of Ukraine don't seem to follow a strategy or plan, unless that strategy is to attack randomly wherever Ukrainian forces feel they have a tactical advantage at the moment.

  27. Alexander's comment about the difficulty for Ukrainian military to climb up the banks of a muddy Dniepr basin had been anticipated in the classic Russian folk song Katyusha. The lyrics go something like this "... Katyusha climbed up the steep bank..." The song doesn't mention which river bank it is talking about.

  28.  @z-America  I fixed the spelling.

  29.  @z-America  BTW, I typed climbed, but Google "corrected" it to claimed. Try it yourself.

  30.  @z-America  Now that you identified yourself as an American pretending to be Russian, let's see what other pearls you can come up with.

  31.  @z-America  The actual words in that song are "walked" up the bank. But since my original comment is sarcasm, I adapted it to the reported events in Ukraine.

  32. The Rubes system is presumably intended to work on the rubes.

  33. Sanctions only work if you can control flows of goods and services between the sanctioned country and the world. Being connected to large and economically important countries, Iran is at least partially protected against sanctions.

  34. Porcupines don't live in Ukraine. Maybe Ursula von der Leyen first meant that Ukraine would become a steel hedgehog and not steel porcupine, but changed her mind when she considered that a hedgehog looks tiny and helpless.

  35. Has anyone considered the possibility that Ukraine has been intentionally losing for a year and a half to lull the Russians into a false sense of security, only to now mount a shocking surprise offensive?
    1
  36.  @UKrDefence  Let me get this straight. So Ukraine allowed 200+ thousand soldiers be killed while holding back 90% of its military for later use? Why didn't Ukraine deploy them to prevent Russia from overtaking 20% of Ukraine? It doesn't seem like a wise or compassionate strategy.

  37. If the Russians haven't captured some higher ground in Ivanivka, they still hold on to their moral high ground.

  38. If Biden is alive long enough (considering his deterioration due to dementia), if he is very lucky, he could be a war-time President. Alas, it will be as a loser.

  39. The conclusion is that the US government doesn't actually understand geopolitics. What works in 3rd World countries doesn't work in more powerful and sophisticated countries. Combine this naiveté with an unwavering conviction that the US is not only more powerful than the rest of the world combined, but that it alone has smart people, and you get this behemoth armed to the teeth, blindly and misguidedly taking actions that don't have a cohesive strategy.

  40.  @edwardmagoffin5095  Russia needs to? Is that the same as ought to or should because you wish it, or is it more like Russia must do it to avoid unpleasant consequences for itself?
    1
  41.  @JosephBisio  Well now that you told them, Russians will add manpower so they can take Odessa and Kharkov. Since, as you say, Russians failed miserably in trying to take Kharkov, they will follow the dictum "if at first you don't succeed, try and try again." And it's Kharkov, not Kharkiv, unless you are one of those virtue signaling Neoliberals with a Ukrainian flag avatar.

  42.  @edwardmagoffin5095  All the more reason for Russia to take more Ukrainian territory. Russians would prefer to make their country larger, not smaller.

  43. I like the name Airborne Division. Most countries have one, except the poor ones who can't afford a single airplane. Measured by time actually spent in the air, Airborne units are rarely airborne, while pilots are sleeping and mechanics are fixing stuff.

  44. Germany values Freedom and Democracy in other countries so much that it is willing to sink its own economy to help that other country. That's because if they can't have Freedom and Democracy at home, at least somebody can enjoy it.

  45. Everything that can be said about Kim Jong Un applies also to Zelensky.

  46. It looks like Romania has not progressed politically from the times of Ceausescu. Neither has the EU, apparently.

  47. Reliable information is not publicly available. But I suspect Nigerian government is corrupted by Western money. (Nigerian, not Niger's, although that might also be the case.)

  48. Soldiers should (can be expected to?) to fight to death if there is a reasonable chance of success and if it is for a worthwhile cause.

  49. You guys should really give up on the theme that Prigozhin was actually conducting a coup or any other uprising. The only scheme that makes sense is that Putin and Prigozhin conspired together months ago, when Prigozhin started to signal to the West that he might be receptive to some overture. When Prigozhin started his temper tantrums against the military leadership and lack of ammunition, it was just too extreme to be genuine.

  50. China now doesn't take any US official seriously. They are just biding their time until some more reasonable US Administration takes over.
