Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement,[1][2][3] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.[2][3]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism
Nazism is a form of fascism,[2][3][4][5] with disdain for liberal democracy and the parliamentary system. It incorporates fervent antisemitism, anti-communism, scientific racism, and the use of eugenics into its creed. Its extreme nationalism originated in pan-Germanism and the ethno-nationalist neopagan Völkisch movement which had been a prominent aspect of German nationalism since the late 19th century, and it was strongly influenced by the Freikorps paramilitary groups that emerged after Germany's defeat in World War I, from which came the party's underlying "cult of violence".[6]

US Lt Col Daniel Davis was interviewed by Cyrus Janssen, a well known apologist for the Russian position. Consequently, I would consider each of their positions worth noting but no worth basing my opinion on.
Possibly in the same category as Douglas MacGregor, Scott Ritter, Larry Johnson, Patrick Lancaster, Graham Phillips, Eva Bartlett, Anne-Laure Bonnel , Sonja van den Ende , Adrien Bocquet , Christelle Néant , Alina Lipp, The Duran with Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris, Redacted with Natali and Clayton Morris and others.

Yes it seems like a rocky and unstable boat. Certainly, based on previous performance and the snake's usual desire and capacity to slither through any perceived loopholes that he can engineer, I don't like the chances of Russia's compliance. However, I would like to see Turkey step up to the plate and honour their commitment. Here's hoping.
Really, I am more concerned about weapons being slipped onto ships, by pro-Russian operatives, before they leave Ukrainian ports, with the aim of setting the Ukranians up for the invalid and untrue accusation of weapons smuggling, for sale on the black market. Just another way the Russians could manage, in their usual style, to muddy the waters a bit more.

Rapid End to WAR & Attrition of Military Resources.
Many people are saying, "There has been too little progress" and "We could have ended this WAR last year, if Ukraine had been given all they needed".
What people seem to forget, or simply do not know, is what is demonstrated in just a few categories of hardware and equipment, as can be seen on the "ORYX equipment losses in Ukraine" website:
This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here.
Russia: Total recorded hardware and Tank losses 24 Feb 2022 to 20 Oct 2023
Total - 12656, of which: destroyed: 8760, damaged: 524, abandoned: 477, captured: 2895
Tanks - 2404, of which destroyed: 1571, damaged: 137, abandoned: 146, captured: 550
Ukraine: Total recorded hardware and Tank losses 24 Feb 2022 to 20 Oct 2023
Total - 4604, of which: destroyed: 3125, damaged: 349, abandoned: 172, captured: 960
Tanks - 668, of which destroyed: 439, damaged: 54, abandoned: 33, captured: 142
#** February 2022 Russia had nearly 3 times as many tanks as Ukraine had prior to Feb 2022.
-- Russia 3,400 tanks
-- Ukraine 1,400 tanks {60% advantage to Russians}
July 2023 Today, Ukraine's tank inventory is believed to be considerably better equipped and have greater capacity and firepower than the Russians and they now have more, outnumbering the Russians by ~50%.
-- Russia 990 tanks
-- Ukraine 1,500 tanks {50% advantage to Ukrainians} #+++
#** February 2022 Russia had 14% more heavy guns and artillery in Feb 2022
-- Russia 2,200 Artillery/Heavy guns
-- Ukraine 1,900 Artillery/Heavy guns {14% advantage to Russians}
July 2023 Today, the Artillery and heavy guns inventories are:
-- Russia 773 Artillery/Heavy guns
-- Ukraine 1,100 Artillery/Heavy guns {42% advantage to Ukrainians} #+++
#** February 2022 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems {MLRS}
-- Russia 1,100 MLRS
-- Ukraine 840 MLRS {25% advantage to Russians}
July 2023 Today, the numbers of MLRS are:
-- Russia 354 MLRS
-- Ukraine 427 MLRS {20% advantage to Ukrainians} #+++
Had an all out WAR been fought in the early months of 2022, Russia would have had an advantage of nearly 3:1 against Ukraine in terms of military hardware. That may well have been greater because of Russian levels of preparedness, training of military personnel on the various platforms, and the elements of logistics and supply.
Today, Russia's inventory of military hardware is believed to actually be less than that of Ukraine in all the categories above. Ukraine has depleted Russia of much of its hardware, probably most of the best of the Russian troops and massive amounts of ammunition and also a lot of the infrastructure; railways, roads and bridges that Russia relies on for movement of troops, hardware and ammunition. That depletion of Russian military assets continues.
By this gradual process of attrition of the hardware, equipment, ammunition and {unfortunately, from a humanitarian perspective} Russian military personnel, I believe that many lives, particularly of Ukrainian civilians and military personnel, have been saved.

@cadennorris960 During all ages and among all peoples {except in Edgar Allan Poe's stories} people have transmitted information about recent and past events to each other, their children and grand-children. Often those stories were intended to be educational and cautionary. The stories often contained elements that were intended to engender, among other sensations, the feelings of happiness, sadness, enthusiasm and fear. Because those sensations are often cautionary, and do not have attached to them any concept of distance or proximity, it is sometimes difficult to disassociate from the more negative feelings, even when there appears to be no immediate threat.
However, during the cold war of the 1960's and 70's, there was an immediate and ever present threat; that being the possibility of nuclear war that could easily have engulfed the whole world, if not by its direct effects, even by the indirect effects of blanketed sunlight.
Since the end of the so-called cold war, 12 March 1947 – 26 December 1991, and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, that existential threat has diminished, despite the declared existence of ICBMs with ranges up to 18,000 km. Our World community seemed to be progressing peacefully.
The WAR in Ukraine has, again, raised the threat of nuclear missiles being used as a form of offense. Any where in Europe is within the range of missiles from Russia. And in the USA, Seattle is about 7,200km from Vladivostok and Atlanta is about 10,000 km.
As such, it is reasonable for people to be concerned about the real possibilities and the existential threat(s). I do not believe that it is realistic to simply tell people to turn off or look away. Far better to inform ourselves and face the possibilities and realistically consider probabilities.
Certainly, we should appreciate the fact that the war is not happening in our "immediate backyard", but we also need to consider what assistance, if any can be offered to those people for whom the WAR is real and present. If we do not feel anything, we cannot empathise with others whose positions are worse than our own. Furthermore, without feelings, it is unlikely that we will be able to prepare for our own safety if or when the need arises.
{An existential threat is a threat to a people's existence or survival on an individual level or a wider community, national or World-wide perspective}
As of March 2022, Russia still fields 46 SS-18 missiles, each with 10 warheads, on top of its other deployed ICBMs, an estimated 320 in all, according to the Arms Control Association.
Of the stockpiled warheads, the U.S. stated in its March 2019 New START declaration that 1,365 were deployed on 656 ICBMs, SLBMs, and strategic bombers.

It is to be hoped that neither Ukraine, Poland nor any other country will have to suffer the outcome of Putin's temper tantrums and the ill-conceived imposition of the will of the Russian political and military establishment and their military forces, by any future attacks made by Russia's military forces, on any other country.
It is amazing that Big, Bad, Bold, Tough Russia led by the Big, Bad, Bold, Tough leader Poo-tin is so afraid of the Big, Bad Wolf which is the mutually defensive alliance called NATO. Russia thinks that it has to hide behind the petti-coats and hang on to the apron-strings of its little sister, Ukraine, as a "buffer-zone".
All this despite knowing that a land mass the size of Ukraine is no longer going to be a distance barrier to modern weapons fired to, or from Russia.
How Absolutely Pathetic???
And with all the lies, broken agreements and game playing. How Absolutely Farcical????
It would be reason for laughter if the whole situation were not so serious.

It looks as though the Russian propagandists are trying to act as "concerned friends", in the comments, with their concessions followed by commiserations. They are becoming like the "Trojan Horse", creeping in with subtle gestures and overtures, as if with goodwill, but really with under-LYING malevolence and guile.
Seeding positive minds and hearts with self-doubt, anxiety and regret. Please do not be fooled. If Putin still thinks that "everything is going according to plan", it is definitely not going to plan for him and the rest of the political and military establishment of Russia. However, for ukraine and the 54 countries assisting and supporting Ukraine, there is definitely a sound and solid plan, and it is unfolding with the least loss of Ukrainian lives possible.
Needless to say, the massive majority of us, as observers, are not privy to, or aware of the finer details of the plan, but it is unfolding appropriately.

Hi Tim, I think that you may have intended saying "tactical" nukes. We can all be worried about negative possibilities, but where does that take us, or get us. I do not like the expression because it normally seems dismissive, but "it will either happen or it will not". I believe that the question is "do we capitulate or prepare". If we decide not to capitulate or surrender, the other option is to go about our business and take what time is needed to prepare. It is absolutely no good worrying if we do not know what it is about which we are worried.
In order to consider options, we first need to know what it is that we are dealing with. The following extract is from the website:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactical_nuclear_weapon
---- "A tactical nuclear weapon (TNW) or non-strategic nuclear weapon (NSNW)[1] is a nuclear weapon which is designed to be used on a battlefield in military situations, mostly with friendly forces in proximity and perhaps even on contested friendly territory. Generally smaller in explosive power, they are defined in contrast to strategic nuclear weapons, which are designed mostly to be targeted at the enemy interior away from the war front against military bases, cities, towns, arms industries, and other hardened or larger-area targets to damage the enemy's ability to wage war.
---- "Tactical nuclear weapons include gravity bombs, short-range missiles, artillery shells, land mines, depth charges, and torpedoes which are equipped with nuclear warheads. Also in this category are nuclear armed ground-based or shipborne surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) and air-to-air missiles."
If we happen to be at the impact end of a conventional weapon, or a nuclear weapon, the effect is probably going to be much the same. We die. What we need to do prior to the anticipated possibility of a conventional or nuclear strike is the same thing, that is to prepare. However, If we are no-where near any possible target, we should simply be prepared to support any civilians or military personnel who may be effected by such a strike.
