@oveidasinclair982 Do you have problems reading? It was pretty clear to everyone other than you: I said we'd had intelligence from the Americans. OK? Do you want to go back and check? And when I said we'd bought arms from the Americans, why did you feel it necessary to say "where did they buy the arms from?" Honestly, a seconds reading, and another second thinking, and you wouldn't make yourself look quite so silly.

I think you may have over-stated the shipping shut down of Crimea. There are numerous ports and ferries operating across the Sea of Azov to Crimea, and they are well outside the reach of the Ukrainians at present, unfortunately. You have also over-stated the effects of the water supply from Nova Khakovkha being turned off, because that is exactly the situation that pertained from 2014 until earlier this year. Yes, it was a real nuisance for the Russians in Crimea, but it didn't cause famine. Finally, I believe you have overlooked the railway line through Tokmak as a source of supplies to southern Kherson. Personally, if I were king for a day, I'd focus my forces on Tokmak initially, whilst also running in from the Kinburn Peninsular, behind the defence lines the Russians have recently set up on the south bank. I'll be so bold as to say that if Ukraine makes it to Melitopol then the entirety of the Russian effort in Ukraine will collapse, bar mopping up operations.

@oveidasinclair982 Zero arms support (we bought stuff). Some intelligence sharing, yes.

Sorry, you want Brits to understand that you've grown up and are no longer acting like teenagers? Right, well the best way to do that would be to behave like adults wouldn't you say? When you can begin to do that, come back to us. In the meantime, keep allowing mass slaughter of your children by legally armed citizens. Keep electing zealots to positions of power. Keep allowing those zealot politicians to make judicial appointments. Keep allowing men to adjudicate on the control of women's bodies. Keep allowing religious fanatics a say in running things. Keep letting instigators of coup attempts stand for the highest office of the state. Keep gerrymandering your political boundaries. Keep legally killing your own citizens. Keep incarcerating black citizens at extraordinarily higher rates than white citizens. Keep allowing people to die of treatable diseases for lack of healthcare cover. Keep on letting your police kill your citizens without repurcussions. And keep on telling yourselves that you're all grown up and sensible.
