  1. This is modern warfare. Nothing moves unnoticed on the battlefield and a cheap drone can defeat a multimillion pound tank.
    2400
  2. Free speech is free speech, not the selective speech from the two tier media.
    560
  3. Gove is one of the slimiest politicians in the UK. Self serving and backstabbing.
    473
  4. Starmers government has to be the most universally hated in living memory 😂😂😂
    381
  5. And if they did the same this year the Russian public would say "Why are they here instead of on the front line supporting our troops". Mystery solved.
    372
  6. When the interview comes out unedited the Telegraph will provide out of context sound-bites lengthily commented on by it's so called Russia experts. This is what passes for journalism in the UK. They even edited his statement 🤣
    349
  7. The British people have a very low opinion of Starmer are not at all happy about UK troops being sent to Ukraine.
    345
  8. "Preserving Democracy" 🙄
    234
  9. Organised, bussed in, extreme left activists.
    214
  10. "Anti-Vax and pro-Putin talking points" Says man quoting CIA talking points.
    197
  11. Fanny Tish and Jack are the ones with upcoming legal problems in my view.
    176
  12. No fool like an old fool.
    165
  13. Sounds like the president is trying to stage a coup d'etat.
    164
  14. Be fab to hear more about his hairy legs, Cornpop, his dead son etc. I'd like to know more about his accomplishments like being Niel Kinnock in all but name and being the best law student in the history of the world and such like.
    163
  15. It's not a "Gaff" he's off his rocker.
    160
  16. It was a demonstration of Russia's technical competence. And a warning to the UK.
    140
  17. The border patrol should be on the beach stopping the boats before they set sail.
    138
  18. Ukrainian communication troop training facilities were hit according to Russian commentators.
    136
  19. We'll see if any of the "Muslim Defense League" get convicted by Starmers dragnet. Those waving machetes and those in gangs beating with planks of wood for instance.
    130
  20. Will the interviewer ask Ed Davey why the Libdems bothered to write a manifesto?
    115
  21. Well obviously taking the law into ones own hands is illegal so they will all be fast tracked into jail, won't they?
    111
  22. She seems to be drunk.
    111
  23. Zelensky can't even hold onto reality.
    107
  24. Russia is not interested in a cease fire, frozen conflict etc. Putin in a recent speech explained the conditions for the end of the war, no Ukraine forces on the battlefield - unconditional surrender. So what Zelensky wants is irrelevant.
    106
  25. Once Pokrovsk is captured, military supplies to the rest of Donbas is interdicted. Also the way to Pavlograd and the Dniper river is wide open.
    103
  26. This is the dumbest take on the one day coup so far. Roger doesn't appear to know anything, either that or he's getting Ukraine mixed up with Russia.
    101
  27. Why can't our Parliament be fun like the foreign ones 😞.
    99
  28. We'll see how the Tories feel after the local elections.
    95
  29. "Fails to agree plan." They said NO! 🤣
    95
  30. She is completely in Seine 😏
    93
  31. Hottest year since records began again? 😵‍💫
    93
  32. This is a totally ridiculous policy which will be incredibly unpopular.
    89
  33. He really is a fanny.
    87
  34. It had non-nuclear munitions.
    80
  35. You can choose your friends but you can't choose your family.
    79
  36. Andrei is always entertaining as well as very informative.
    78
  37. We need an audit of the UK government like DOGE is performing in the USA.
    78
  38. They were conned 😂. Why not show the video of Muslim vigilantes brandishing all kinds of offensive weapons.
    75
  39. I don't see any anger in the Russian response. After they fininshed laughing about it and realised Starmer and Healey were actually serious, they seem to have released a very measured response that it wouldn't be acceptable.
    75
  40. Times Radio, Sky and Zelegraph 😉
    75
  41. All he has done is poke the bear. The UK Uniparty wants war not peace.
    75
  42. I hope Trump makes it impossible for Starmer so we can get rid of him as soon as possible.
    67
  43. We've had enough experience of Conservative and Labour's "experienced" politicians.
    63
  44. Most British people disagree with King Charles' eco fanaticism.
    63
  45. It's been identified from the video as an Iris-T missile.
    62
  46. "Literally every country has an obligation to extradite Putin" Well no, only those who are signed up to the court. And can you imagine what the result of attempting to detain him would be.
    62
  47. Ukraine piece talks. "We will have this piece and you can have that piece"
    58
  48. Terrible painting and terribly annoying vandals. I'm very conflicted.😅
    58
  49.  @anonymousfx5254  If it's a hypersonic missile why is it moving so slowly? The Telegraph should be ashamed to do so little fact checking before publishing stories.
    57
  50. Yeah, nobody else says that Putin has agreed to a ceasefire. They say he very gracefully declined the proposal.
    57
  51. My last comment got sent to YouTube jail. This inept Keir Starlin crackdown is making the UK look like North Korea.
    57
  52. Department of Indoctrination more like.
    53
  53. Bretrurn 😮 How about Bruck orf!
    51
  54. "Well, hello it's me again!" - great catchphrase 😁
    51
  55. As Arthur Dent would say "This is obviously some strange usage of the word 'safe' that I wasn't previously aware of."
    50
  56. Andrei is always entertaining to watch as well as enlightening.
    48
  57. So Russia didn't run out of missiles after all😮
    48
  58. Putin wasn't complacent, the poor lad is just overworked. What with sabotaging the Olympics and staging the riots here he was a bit distracted from manning the border in Kursk.
    47
  59. Stay strong Times Radio keyboard heroes, only another 47 months to go.
    47
  60. It was entirely Zelensky's fault. The World got to see what an arrogant entitled jerk he really is.
    46
  61. At last some quality reporting by the totally not tabloid Times 👏
    45
  62. Ukrainian authorities have constantly lied about everything in this conflict and it's very likely the facilities hit were military. if it's a hotel then it will be full of foreign volunteers, I doubt Kharkiv has much of a tourist industry right now.
    44
  63. It's past time for the WEF to go away.
    43
  64. Anybody who thinks Net Zero is about "saving the planet" needs to educate themselves.
    43
  65. Sean does great stand up comedy. "Ukraine says they shot down 29 out of 30, now we are not sure about the accuracy of their reports" - Bazinga.
    42
  66. None of this ridiculous alarmism is remotely true.
    42
  67. The russian pilots thought it was a highly dangerous spy balloon 🎈. They were so surprised and relieved to find out it was just a 30 million dollar drone they accidentally nudged it. I'm sure they will send it back with an apology note after they recover it 😉
    41
  68. If we genuinely want to have a serious military then we have to make other changes too. Firstly we need to forget about Net Zero because making weapons is very costly in terms of energy. We need to nationalise military production because the current arrangement is simply money laundering. We need to re-establish heavy industry such as steel production, we can't rely on China. And that means opening up our coal mines to get at the 300 years of coal under our feet. And we need to recruit people who want to fight for our values. Russia has all of these in abundance.
    41
  69. Hats are not allowed to be worn in parliament when standing for any reason. They can only be worn when seated. So George was just obeying the rules.
    40
  70. MUST PAY MORE TAX TO MAKE THE WEATHER BETTER!
    40
  71. Ah Putin mind reading, important skill all modern Major Generals need to master.
    39
  72. Nobody 10 years ago would have predicted this Alice in Wonderland situation. Fair play to Caster, who has gained success. Not fair on the female competitors who don't stand a chance.
    39
  73. Can Reform win votes from Labour? Yes yes and YES. Reform has all the momentum.
    39
  74. And 300 years of coal.
    38
  75. @СерхиоБускетс-ф7я  The kinetic energy alone should make a bang.
    37
  76. The Russians are doing great job rebuilding Mariupol and will do the same for Artyomovsk. Kiev will likely get the same treatment if the west continues to prop up Zelelensky and his regime.
    37
  77. Ukraine is none of our business. It never was any of our business. If we had minded our own business Ukraine would not be in this state. We have lead Ukraine up the path to destruction by ignoring Russian security concerns. We wouldn't have stood for Scotland joining the Warsaw pact. So why would Russia accept Ukraine in NATO?
    37
  78. The Democrats definitely deserve Kamala as the nominee.
    37
  79. Times Radio is a fact free zone.
    37
  80. Is starting a war with a nuclear superpower a good idea Lord Melchet? Absolutely it's a wizard idea, it will all be over by Christmas!
    37
  81. 6 months is wildly optimistic. Ukrainians casualties are around 60,000 a month.
    36
  82. "No one is above the law"
    36
  83. Three Neocons and one realist.
    36
  84. RUSI expert opinion: "If Ukraine starts winning then Russia will start to lose. If this continues to the end of the war then Ukraine will eventually win"
    36
  85. I predict that India will not condem Russia. There will be a general call for the end of hostilities but no attribution of blame.
    35
  86. Trump supporters think his nominations are fantastic.
    34
  87. Dumb passes the torch to Dumber. It brings a tear to your eye 🥲.
    34
  88. I wish Starmer would put the UK is in the strongest position by resigning and going to fight in Ukraine himself.
    33
  89. Zelensky should have STFU and signed the deal like he said he would.
    33
  90. Reform is the change party.
    32
  91. No, it's a stupid idea. Unless we employ the same mobilization tactics (press gang) as Ukraine nobody is going to do it.
    32
  92. It's DISGUSTING. I have never clutched my pearls so tightly in my life 😂
    32
  93. A vote for the Conservatives is a vote for Starmer
    32
  94. Great seal of approval for Nigel from the tolerant Left. If he's ticking off those clowns he's on the right path. He's right, there is no enthusiasm for Starmer, Labour votes are less than the combined share of Tory and Reform. Nigel is the Robert the Bruce of Westminster, try and try again untill you succeed.
    31
  95. ...also "Guns Blazing" is not a particularly sensitive metaphor under the circumstances.
    31
  96. The resolution didn't actually call for a ceasefire that's why the Russians and Chinese vetoed it.
    31
  97. "Should reform take Musk's 100 million?". Of course they should, cry harder Telegraph.
    31
  98. "Heatwave" 😂 I think you mean Summer.
    31
  99. That's assault, where are the police?
    31
  100. Looks like the welcome for a conquering hero.
    30
  101. It's going to be a Tory "Superminority"
    30
  102. The USA could stop the war tomorrow by cutting off aid to Ukraine.
    30
  103. She knows what's coming down the pike after Jan 20
    30
  104. A. They haven't liberated it. B. It's not tactical. But apart from that spot on reporting Sky.
    30
  105. I'm pretty sure they couldn't care less. It's only the West that is on Ukraine's side in this. They had him speak to humour him but they are all supporting Russia.
    29
  106. "What Boris Johnson says..." Let me stop you there 😁. Has Boris got a book to sell?
    29
  107. Never believe anything until it has been officially denied.
    29
  108. Greatest victory of the greatest counteroffensive of all time.
    29
  109. The Truth hurts 🥲
    28
  110. They have said if Europeans enter Ukraine they will be priority targets.
    28
  111. Academia has loved all the foreign students as cash cows for decades.
    28
  112. The BBC seem to be saying "he had it coming". Same with Clarkie on Sky. So much for democratic values eh?
    28
  113. Been saying it for nearly 3 years. Also an incredibly dangerous war.
    27
  114. There are going to be a lot of Tory MPs made redundant. Perhaps all of them #noseats.
    27
  115. All the other sanctions worked so well 🤣
    27
  116. Reform 2029 - hopefully much sooner.
    27
  117. I watched "Triggered" with Don Jr. He's acting as "Axe murderer" for the transition. Essentially black balling any bad candidates. He asked the audience to suggest who to avoid and his live chat was overloaded with "Mike Pompeo" 😂😂😂. I doubt he will get a consequential position in the next Trump admin.
    27
  118. No normal person could get along well with Kier Starmer.
    26
  119. Time the turtle to go.
    26
  120. The Police claim the courts have ruled that blocking the road is legitimate protest. This needs to be vigorously challenged.
    26
  121. "A lot of vulnerabilities" like holidaying with Jeff Epstein after his first conviction.
    25
  122. We have reached peak hubris from "Hundred year Keir".
    25
  123. There wasn't a phone call between Trump and Putin. This is mischief by the IC and media.
    25
  124. He hasn't got a clue or he's a propagandist. His entire commentary is wrong. Seems to be some kind of Putin mind reader a sort of Derek Acorah crossed with Baghdad Bob 🤣
    25
  125. Defense industry on a war footing, meanwhile we have no steel industry. 😵‍💫
    25
  126. The civilians have left before the heavy artillery move in. Currently the roads out of Pokrovsk are jammed with evacuees.
    25
  127. The scriptwriters seem to have settled on the "Russian desparation" narrative. Now it wasn't desparation when the USA begged for 155mm shells from South Korea of course. And it's not desparation to supply cluster munitions because they have run out of 155mm shells to send and have no chance of ramping up production to match Ukrainian requirements. There doesn't seem to be any weapons shortages in Russia but they are the desperate ones. 😎
    25
  128. "What Ukraine needs to win." A fookin' miracle. 😂
    25
  129. 1500 hostages Times. This was prosecutorial misconduct on an epic scale.
    25
  130. Don't question! Ignorance is strength.
    25
  131. "How's it gone?" It's gone down like a lead Zeppelin and Two Tier Keir is one of the most hated figures of British politics. Reform 2029 - hopefully sooner.
    24
  132. Hopefully some genuine conservatives (small c) will join Reform.
    24
  133. How is anything this fantastic young lady has said remotely "insane". She can talk confidently talk about all the current issues without any notes. No "circling back" or binders of talking points like the last two incompetents who held the position.
    24
  134. Covert narcissist
    24
  135. Why doesn't Labour want an inquiry? Would Labour MPs be implicated?
    24
  136. Germany like the UK has already been invaded. That's why "L'amour toujours" is such a hit there at the moment.
    24
  137.  @Aklith  There were the Minsk accords. There was a Russian ultimatum to Stoltenberg and another to Biden before the tanks rolled. There was a peace deal in March 2022 which Zelensky wouldn't sign (under orders from the West). Eff around and find out in my view.
    24
  138. That's for the people watching, it's called transparency. Trump and team have been planning this for a long time. Who was in actually control for the last four years of the geriatric figurehead?
    23
  139. Oh dear Times, you just couldn't resist shoehorning Putin into the story. Any chance you can include Trump next?
    23
  140.  @TheLunarnotes  Only the Rino losers who were foisted on him by the old RNC.
    23
  141. Times predicts Trump will lose, I AM ASTONISHED!
    23
  142. Well that was cringe.
    23
  143. What a silly clickbait headline. Victor made very balanced and erudite replies to Andrews emotive questions. I would say "Victor Gao educates polemicist Andrew Neil about China's policies regarding Ukraine and BRICS"
    22
  144. Totally embarrassing. 😂😂😂
    22
  145. MTG has more integrity than the whole staff of TR combined.
    22
  146. The walls are closing in? 🤣🤣🤣
    22
  147. Seems a very small explosion for a sea mine.
    21
  148. That didn't take long 😂😂😂. I thought that the very large majority would bring in some headbangers.
    21
  149.  @eimcoshovel  Copium mixed with infamy.
    21
  150.  @yacinekcl  Nope not a Khinzal
    21
  151. So in a few days we've forced the Germans to send tanks to Ukraine. Against all their better judgement and constitution. Now its jets. This conflict is spiralling out of control.
    21
  152. I'm absolutely certain Shapps will not be Defence Sec for very long.
    21
  153. Ukraine has lost, no amount of money will change that because we can't make enough weapons and they can't find enough soldiers.
    21
  154. He's completely lost it. 🤣
    21
  155. Another kangaroo court which wouldn't allow any kind of defense to be mounted. Banana Republic.
    21
  156. But Russia has won.
    21
  157. No fool like an old fool.
    21
  158. So much for the much vaunted rule of law.
    21
  159. They are, Harris is a terrible candidate.
    21
  160. There's no way they recapture any of the regions that Russia has accepted into the federation. The Russians currently have around a million men available to fight in Ukraine. Thousands of tanks and armored vehicles. A large modern air force. Massive amounts of artillery And if push comes to shove nukes.
    20
  161. Which (Soros?) NGO bought all those tents?
    20
  162. BBC says "What we know is..." what they mean is "What we want you Plebs to believe is..."
    20
  163. Humble 🤣 He's a major kleptocrat who has sold out his country and people.
    20
  164. Have your USAID checks stopped coming?
    20
  165. Air defence missile as usual - who knows perhaps the Ukrainians did it on purpose for PR. Russia has made a very big mess of the port with it's missiles destroying arms and apparently mercenaries as well.
    20
  166. I don't think Times headline writers understand the term "insane". I think you mean "straightforward".
    20
  167. "Defence expert" what Clarkie? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. He's the same kind of defence expert as Comical Ali. 🤡 He's not been right about anything. We are at war with Russia because the Russian ambassador said so.
    20
  168. You have a completely unrealistic view of the conflict. Ukraine never stood a chance, prolonging the conflict has led to a million Ukrainian deaths in my opinion.
    20
  169. Reform 2029 - hopefully a lot sooner.
    20
  170. No mercy!
    20
  171. Au contraire, Mark. I think they Russia had already strategically defeated Ukraine's army. The coming Winter and Spring months will see the Ukrainian state defeated from without and also within.
    20
  172. I'm a teeny bit sceptical of the veracity of that claim.
    20
  173. Didn't they already recapture it a few times before?
    20
  174. I still hate the Romans for what they did to us Iceni and don't get me on about those Saxons.
    20
  175. Recruitment offices are open in Kiev guys. You could be on the frontline sticking it to Putin in a week or so😃.
    19
  176. Democracy is not having elections in your own country and disrupting them in someone else's country.
    19
  177. Scare the public with conscription.
    19
  178. So let's get this straight. Russia is losing, Blinken said they had already lost, Ukraine is winning but now they want talks? 🧐
    19
  179. Putin was in Kazan a couple of weeks ago discussing dismantling the US Empire, he managed to survive that excursion from the Kemlin.
    19
  180. "Trump is doomed" "Trump's presidency will crumble" Fantastic positive message from the entirely unbiased and not at all unhinged Times Radio. 😂😂😂😂😂
    19
  181. Orban has said repeatedly he's not a fan of Russia. Hungary had a hard time under Soviet rule. He is simply acting rationally in the best interests of his own country, something our WEF infested political class never do.
    19
  182. Trump did very well against 3 opponents - Harris and the two "moderators".
    19
  183.  @lilacer6841  Times and Telegraph are the worst because they were perceived as quality publications.
    19
  184. Simple way to avoid this is for the RAF to stay away from the war zone. It's not our war no matter how much propaganda is disseminated by the corporate media.
    19
  185. That's why they are known as Sly News
    19
  186. Don't care, still voting Reform.
    19
  187. Ukraine is the greatest fighting force ever assembled with the greatest war time leader. Russia has lost a million people and has only got shovels left. You did literally everything yourselves with no input from the USA UK or France. So what's the problem?????
    19
  188. "Two Teir Keir" has stuck. So the population believes we are subject to politicised policing no matter what your commentator has to say.
    18
  189. Putin hasn't spoken to Geriatric Joe since the start of the SMO. That's quite interesting.
    18
  190. Glad we live in the free and tolerant West.
    18
  191. Sounds like the pathetic lawfare is backfiring BIGLY!
    18
  192. Don't care, still voting for Farage and Reform.
    18
  193. "Ukraine's theory of victory" 😂😂😂 I'm going to have to skip through at double speed to find that bit. Telegraph in 6 months or a year or whatever.... "Ukraine theoretically won while apparently losing"
    18
  194. How about we don't support Isreal or Ukraine and instead be real conservatives and support British values and traditions.
    18
  195. Don't care still voting Reform.
    18
  196. Putin's missile said "hold my beer".
    18
  197. Now then, now then, we wouldn't want to speculate.
    18
  198. He's a waffler who has been wrong about everything so far.
    18
  199. Never apologise to the rabid mob.
    18
  200. He called Gen Lloyd Austin "that black man"🤣🤣🤣
    18
  201. Perhaps the UK government should have kept its nose out of the Ukraine situation all along. But I suppose after Bojo torpedoed the peace deal in March 2022 we were stuck with it. Now it's perfectly obvious that Ukraine and more importantly NATO has been humiliated by Russia they are all panicking.
    18
  202. Lord Call Me Dave got precisely nowhere with Trump and didn't even get to see Mike Johnson so if that's outshining Rishi we are in trouble 😂😂😂
    18
  203. Yes and he's seen what's happened over there and doesn't want the USA going the same way, which it definitely is.
    17
  204. Another day, another dumb "Russia is running out of XYZ" story. First one was about 2 week into the SMO. 🤣
    17
  205. Rupert is back with his happy talk. Meanwhile Ukrainian defenses in Avdiivka have been breeched and it looks like the city will fall before springtime.
    17
  206. Get well soon Joe! Trump supporters all want you to get the Democrat nomination.
    17
  207. Zelensky would get in the way.
    17
  208. More of a smackdown, Big Bad Orange and the Hillbilly tag-team warmed up on The Poodle and Toolmaker. Then went for a submission from The Green Goblin.
    17
  209. Arrested for what? I don't recall him instigating violence like this person is alleged to have.
    17
  210. We are still prooobing according to Clarkey.😂 The offensive is a complete failure. They can't make headway anywhere. None of the western armour has got within 10 miles of the first real defensive line. There is not enough lipstick in the whole world for this 🐷.
    17
  211. I don't think anyone takes Sean seriously.
    17
  212. There was no Kharkiv counteroffensive victory for Ukraine. Russia had too few men to defend it. So they withdrew in good order inflicting heavy casualties on the Ukrainians as they did. Now the situation is reversed. After 2 years of attrition Ukraine is on it's last legs. They are short of men, particularly well trained and motivated men. They have no air cover or defense. They have little artillery and ammo. Unless they are very unlucky the well trained and supported Russian forces should be able to make substantial gains for little cost .
    17
  213. Not going to be much use when Ukraine loses it's access to the sea.

  214. Trump might save us from Two Tier Keir and his Davos disciples.
    16
  215. The Ultimatum is clear, make peace on Russia's terms or you are on your own.
    16
  216. Hamish said the Challengers would sweep away Russian defences and that last years "Greatest counteroffensive of all time" would see Ukraine at the Asov sea and possibly in Crimea. Reality is the Challengers had to run away, apart from the one on display in Moscow today, and the offensive was totally defeated in the greatest military disaster of the 21st century. So why do you platform someone with such a terrible record of analysis Times?
    16
  217. The Russian shovels are state of the art.
    16
  218. Which is why they tried to make that difficult by banning RT.
    16
  219. Entertaining performance by Milei. Tony Blinken needs to up his game. Perhaps he can do "won't be fooled again" next time and smash his guitar at the end.
    16
  220. Pretty simple - it was a stitch up.. It seems that French "proportional" representation is just as flawed as first past the post if the other parties game the system by selectively withdrawing candidates.
    16
  221. We need rid of Starmer ASAP. 25% tariffs on the UK may help ease his passing.
    16
  222. Matt Gaetz is fantastic. Trump will probably use the recess appointment process so you will be waiting 2 years for the confirmation circus.
    16
  223. Kamala is torture to listen to.
    16
  224. Another win for President Trump.
    16
  225. Greatest President in living memory.
    16
  226. The EU are going to solve the grain issue by sanctioning Poland 🤣🤣🤣 (They have an illegal embargo on Uke grain) There is no chance of a safe corridor out of Odessa without Russia's cooperation.
    16
  227. Don't care, still voting Reform.
    16
  228. At some point in a war one side generally wins and one side loses. That point was reached this Autumn after Ukraine failed to make any progress in it's offensive despite huge amounts of western military aid. It's very unlikely the West could do the same again and even if they did the result would be the same. Senior Russia politician have ruled out a ceasefire or armistice like Korea, they intend to prosecute the war until the Ukrainian political or Military leadership unconditionally surrender. Supplying aid may well delay that surrender but it won't prevent it. The delay will also cost many more Ukrainian and Russian lives. The Biden regime is very concerned to delay the collapse until after the 2024 election, the Republicans don't have the same concern.
    16
  229. Daddy Schwab gimps all have to slag off the God Emperor Trump.
    16
  230. Rubbish
    16
  231. We were cheering the ridiculous ICC charges against Putin but totally valid, and far worse, charges against Netanyahu are "a HUGE mistake". If they didn't have double standards they wouldn't have any standards at all.
    16
  232. Two Tier Keir approves of this message.
    16
  233. But but, Russia is losing, has no shells, Putin is crazy and dying so how can this be???
    16
  234. Times experts love to clutch at straws as much as they love to clutch their pearls. "Mongolia might be invaded by Russia or China one day" 🤡.
    16
  235. Likely more "sheep dipped" western fighters, who are operating the complex western equipment such as HIMARS and air defence.
    16
  236. Good luck finding men to join the military in the UK and EU.
    16
  237. The UK and the EU are looking pretty isolated at this point.
    16
  238. Shoigu and Gerasimov still in position despite the silly actions of Prighozin.
    15
  239. It's minimum terms for a ceasefire not a peace plan. If Ukraine wants talks they have to completely vacate the annexed regions. The Russians will then cease fire while the talks progress. Very likely Russia will demand Kharkiv and Odessa too.
    15
  240. No way, they didn't let just anyone near Trump after 2 assassination attempts. I'm shocked 😏
    15
  241. "Putin's missiles threats fail to deter Nato" File this video under "Pride comes before a fall".
    15
  242. Peter is a very reliable commentator, you can rely on reality being the exact opposite of what he says.
    15
  243. Wasn't Ukraine supposed to be in Crimea by now (start of June) according to Budanov. Can we contact him to find out why it hasn't happened yet? Possibly via seance or Ouija board.
    15
  244. Yawn, same playbook at the January 6th "Insurrection". All 14000 hours of security camera footage of that is about to be released. I wonder why that wasn't released already by the Jan 6 committee 🤔
    15
  245. Great news for the Trump campaign.
    15
  246. He's careful not to "misspeak" about casualty numbers.
    15
  247. For two years the general public has only heard one side of the story from people like Mark and even worse propagandists like Tony Blinken, Generals Petraeus & Hodges, Hamish DBG., Tobias Ellwood etc. They have promoted the myth of an "Unprovoked and illegal invasion" omitting to provide any background since 1991, which has seen supposedly defensive NATO move steadily closer and closer to Moscow despite assurances to Gorbachev that it wouldn't. They also omitted to mention the USA/Soros coup in Ukraine which was staged to put a regime antagonistic to Russia in power. (We have proof of the because Victoria Nuland was famously caught decideing who would be the next President of Ukraine weeks before the actual event.) They also forgot to mention the ongoing separatist war in the Donbas which had seen 12000 civilian deaths up to 2022. Informed people understood the truth of what was really happening and now the rest of the public is becoming aware. That's why they are mad at Tucker.
    15
  248. This chap has reached peak delusion.
    15
  249. Two problems with Nick's hypothetical analysis. 1. Ukraine hasn't broken through the first fortified defensive line. 2. There are at least 2 more lines after that. But IF they broke through the first line and IF they broke through the second and IF they broke through the third and IF they had anything left and IF the Russians didn't have 300,000 uncommitted reserves then they COULD win. Ukraine is finished due to bad advice from people like Nick.
    15
  250. Our favourite WEF mayor Siddique Khan is also in trouble in May.
    15
  251. Tories and Labour are the British Uniparty. They are pretty much indistinguishable Woke, Neo-liberal, WEF, Eco-nut, any border matters other than the UK's parties. I'll be voting Reform this year if there is a local candidate,
    15
  252. It sends the defiant message to President Trump "Zelensky doesn't want peace, walk away and let Russia sort out the situation"
    15
  253. The USA needs reforming, hopefully Trump will start that process. And the decrepit UK needs Reform in 2029 hopefully much sooner.
    15
  254. Well done to Anthony for not saying it was "symbolic" like Alex did or "insignificant" like most other Times interviewees have. It's probably due to the narrative being destroyed by logic rather than a desire to be honest - perhaps I'm too cynical. (If Artyomovsk /Bakhmut is so insignificant why has Zelensky sent so many to their deaths to defend it)
    15
  255. JD Vance's speech was absolutely fantastic. Hr clearly articulated what the majority of British people think about our political (and media) class.
    15
  256. Oh no, I hope we don't run out of lies.
    15
  257. This interview is 30 minutes of waffle twaddle and delusion.
    15
  258. Once again for the hard of thinking at the Telegraph. (Actually they are being deliberately obtuse.) The initial phase of the war was "diplomacy by other means". The Russians didn't commit anywhere near enough troops to take and hold Ukraine. It was a show of strength to get Zelelensky to the negotiating table and also sufficient for the Russian areas in the south which want to be part of Russia anyway. Phase 2 of the war began after Boris told Zelelensky to stop negotiating and the West poured money and weapons and intelligence assistance into Ukraine. The Russians pulled back to defensible lines and started massacring the Ukrainians in the cities they were trying to hold. At the same time building a sufficient fighting force to completely take and consolidate the newly annexed regions. Phase 3 has just begun and the Russian gloves are coming off. This is not the same Russian or Ukrainian army of phase 1. Ukraine is losing the war and will lose.
    15
  259. I doubt Putin could give a toss what Kier Starmer has to say about Ukraine, the UK is irrelevant. Angry voice on the tarmac will not impress him or Lavrov at all. Viktor Orban is a different matter he seems to be actually able to do diplomacy.
    15
  260. Ukraine, and by extension NATO and the EU, has lost the war but the establishment won't accept that fact. It demonstrates how ineffectual and incompetent they have been. The war could easily have been avoided, as Stoltenberg admitted, but instead they pushed for conflict. They massively overestimated the efficacy of sanctions and western military power while underestimating the ability of Russia to succeed economically, militarily and diplomatically. They deserve to be ousted by populism and realism as they are not fit for purpose.
    15
  261. ​ @dutchprepper5932 The USA would love to leave the EU holding the baby.
    15
  262.  @leovolin7525  Not the same, this is real war not a pointless counterinsurgency conflict. The Americans could chose that it was a waste of time anytime they wanted but they could equally have stayed forever. This war has shown how weak NATO really is. They have run out of basic arms supporting an initially formidable proxy force and the Russians haven't even really broken into a sweat. Western arms are no better than Russian they just cost a lot more. The Russians have outplayed the West diplomatically too with BRICS. All the west can do is sanctions and lawfare via the ICC. Neither has had much effect. Our political class are idiots.
    15
  263. Pointless gesture which won't change the outcome but will lead to more dead and wounded.
    15
  264. It's called being a "proxy"
    15
  265. "Almost all drones were intercepted" Very unlikely. but even if true that means precious air defence assets getting depleted by very cheap drones. Next gen Gerans are faster and also somewhat stealthy.
    15
  266. Who was staying in the hotel Times? No curiosity? I doubt they were tourists.
    15
  267. We have spent the last 20 years offshoring our manufacturing. We also have closed down our reliable energy production in favour of windmills and solar panels, also manufactured abroad in China. And now we are somehow going to reverse that process in a whim in no time flat. The G7 leaders have lost the plot.
    15
  268. Pretty clear it's the West that's the reckless actor over the last 3 years of escalation.
    14
  269. Dont lie!, Starmer IS NOT USEFUL!
    14
  270. Yessssss! The much prophesied mystical mythical greatest ever counteroffensive of all time to start in summer! Can't wait!
    14
  271.  @GameOvais  Apparently that's not possible because the missile doesn't follow a fully ballistic trajectory so it's impossible to predict an intercept point.
    14
  272. So Soledar (& Bakhmut) are strategically unimportant but Zelelensky is going to do everything to defend it. He seems to be far more concerned about optics than the life and limb of his conscript army.
    14
  273. Fighting terror by attacking Christmas trees with cluster munitions?
    14
  274. I wouldn't hold your breath.
    14
  275. I want Clarkie to debate Andrei Martyanov it would be fabulous entertainment.
    14
  276. Nobody want to die for Zelensky, US, UK, EU, Soros or Black Rock.
    14
  277. Not any more.
    14
  278. I think these people are more afraid of the bad orange man than the bad Russian man 🤣🤣🤣. But why?, is he going to spoil their money laundering?
    14
  279. Apparently the Chechen special forces are on duty in the Belgorod region so I don't things are going to go too well for them.
    14
  280. There is no breakthrough.
    14
  281. The Russians have no need to negotiate - they are winning.
    14
  282. The British army would last a couple of weeks in Ukraine, especially now the Russians have declared that the conflict a counter terrorism operation which means the gloves are off. Also Ukraine never had nuclear weapons, they were Soviet Union weapons sited in Ukraine and Russia inherited those when the Soviet Union was dissolved.
    14
  283. Meanwhile in the real world, Ukraine is having it's electrical generation irreparably demolished and has almost no defence against the Russian air campaign. They are losing fortified villages one after another as the Russians employ huge guided bombs including fuel/air and cluster bombs.
    14
  284. Tobias Ellwood, 77th Brigade disinformation expert says what?
    14
  285. Dear Telegraph, when someone wins something they declare victory. No need for sour grapes quotation marks.
    14
  286. "Zach here, I've spoken to Bakhmut Bob and the Ghost of Kie v, they say 80% of the missiles and drones were shot down" 🤦‍♂️
    14
  287. The more the always truthful and accurate media says it was Putin, the more I think it was someone else.
    14
  288. Load of old cobblers awls as usual.
    14
  289. They have all had their talking points from the 77th brigade and the government nudge department etc.
    14
  290. Ukrainian mascot should be the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. "Tis but a flesh wound" They got slaughtered in Artyomovsk by a mercenary group, with some support from the regular Russian army. It's likely the supposed counteroffensive has been severly damaged due to Zelensky's refusal to give up on Bakhmut. The Russians played it perfectly with Yevgeny Prigozhin making the idiots in Kiev Washington and London believe there were military problems, causing even more poor Ukrainian soldiers to be sent to their deaths. When they finally decided to finish it, it was done very quickly.
    14
  291. Well done Slovakia for rejecting World War Woke.
    13
  292. He'll be fast tracked to a few years in jail right?
    13
  293. It's great to spend other people's money 🤗
    13
  294. Ukrainian volunteer, did Ukraine target a presidential candidate?
    13
  295. Zelensky is very upset about this. He demanded sharks with fricking "LASERs"
    13
  296. Race baiting is not diplomacy 😂. Lammy apparently knows all about "imperialism" because he's black. Even though he was born and raised in London and was educated at a private school. The speech was a complete embarrassment and the Russian representative was right to ignore his grandstanding about "having ancestors who were taken in chains". What has that got to do with WW3?
    13
  297. Zelensky should have taken the very generous peace deal in March 2022. Instead he donned a stupid olive tee shirt and took on the roll of wartime leader, which he has absolutely zero talent at.
    13
  298. After the law is ratified we will find out who has being paying for these protests.
    13
  299. If he's talking about the fake news then he's on target. X is doing a great job in that respect - it's the place to get real news.
    13
  300. Totally obvious from day one, unfortunately our political class are delusional.
    13
  301. Ridiculous trial and totally unreliable witness.
    13
  302. Off you go stop him Sheryl. Good luck 🫡
    13
  303.  @mozaynab3  I've seen the videos, on X of course.
    13
  304. Well it's given the talking heads something else to talk about other than the loss of Bakhmut.
    13
  305. I don't think Clarkie has been right about anything regarding the Ukraine conflict so far. Also using phrases like "mowing them down" is incredibly distasteful. The reality is this is a real war that the British army would balk at. It's not the kind of one sided turkey shoot that Americans like. So there will be "heavy casualties inflicted" on both sides but the Russians are far better equipped, armed and trained than the Ukrainians, who are now having their lives pointlessly destroyed for the USA UK EU and NATO.
    13
  306. Grant is going to be out of a job on July 5 apparently. Michael Green, Corrine Stockheath, Dr JML Richards, Sebastian Fox and Richard Wharton will be made redundant at the same time 😢
    13
  307. BAE systems need your hard earned cash!
    13
  308. FYI. I never colonised anywhere. I never illegally migrated anywhere either. So no irony or hypocrisy detected by me.
    13
  309. Loved the interview Elon Musk conducted on your hapless lying employee. A joy to watch.
    13
  310.  @dpelpal  "USAID in Russia Over the past two decades, USAID has provided assistance that has helped the Russian people improve public health and combat infectious diseases, protect the environment, develop a stronger civil society ,.... Regime change operations?
    13
  311. No they won't, unless you add more emojis!
    13
  312. Vive la revolution!
    13
  313. He's just allergic to elections and political opposition.
    13
  314. Peak gaslighting. We won't see any debates because Biden couldn't possibly compete against Trump.
    13
  315. This is the same argument that's been used from the start. Russia is using their stock of older systems when they can, that's all.
    13
  316. The Communist party still does quite well apparently.
    13
  317. Yeah, like our governments are any better 😂.
    13
  318. Pretty sure Marco hasn't been nominated yet, much less appointed Times.
    13
  319. Kamala was a rubbish candidate but then again so were Hillary and Joe. So there must be some other reason 🤔. She got 12 millon fewer votes than Joe but then again so did Hillary 🤔. So the only difference is that Joe got 12 million more votes counted than Hilary and Kamala, even though he couldn't get more than a few hundred to turn up at a rally. But he still got 12 million more votes counted . It's a real mystery isnt it 😂😂😂
    13
  320. It isn't in UK waters i.e. within 12 nautical miles of shore. It's in the UK exclusive economic zone which is international waters.
    13
  321. Tipping point reached and still three weeks of campaigning to go. This could be the trigger for disaffected Labour voters to decide that Reform Populism is better for them than Labour Neoliberalism.
    13
  322. Perhaps he should have mentioned this last year 😂. Ukraine has lost and Zaluzhny is in trouble at home. One of his closest allies has just been blown up, by a birthday present (allegedly) 🥳. The USA UK and EU have led Ukraine up the garden path to destruction, this could all have been avoided by Ukraine becoming neutral and giving up NATO ambitions which the Russians will never allow on their soft underbelly.
    13
  323. This is the latest cope. "Russia is the junior partner of China." Actually the two complement each other. Russia has natural resources and advanced technology. China has people and huge manufacturing base. And they are both facing extreme aggresion from the West.
    13
  324. Ukrainian revolt or coup far more likely than Russian. The trigger could be the total mobilization bill currently under consideration.
    13
  325. They won't, the idea is that they would be a tripwire.
    13
  326. The only change party is Reform.
    13
  327. Incredible speech he reeled them in perfectly. The Euroshats wouldn't applaud a call for free speech 🤣
    12
  328. Perhaps Putin should consult with the Times radio editorial staff on how to do propaganda, rather than wasting his time educating the audience.
    12
  329. Make Zelelensky president of the United Nations then we could get to hear from him more often 😂😂😂
    12
  330. They have lost - no more cannon fodder left to sacrifice.
    12
  331. That must be why they are desperately trying to keep him off the ballot then.
    12
  332. There isn't any deal yet so how this nonentity could know about it is baffling to me.
    12
  333. Oh dear, how sad, never mind - STILL VOTING REFORM!
    12
  334. Four more years, then eight of JD Vance.
    12
  335. Load of old rubbish.
    12
  336. Europe has no clout.
    12
  337. There isn't a deal yet and there was no phone call.
    12
  338. 😂😂😂
    12
  339. Resignations from the UK army are already substantial this is going to lead to a stampede.
    12
  340. I doubt many pilots are straining at the leash to enter a Russian no-fly zone. The Ukrainian airforce has been destroyed (hence begging for F16s) why would the Polish fare any better. I don't think Russia would mind Poland attacking, it wouldn't be covered by NATO article 4.
    12
  341. Isn't fighting in a hospital a war crime?
    12
  342. Totally irrelevant other than to note this village is still miles from the real first line of Russian defences. Apparently the Challengers are set to make their appearance soon as an absolute last resort, I hope Hamish DBG. will be available to comment on how well they do. Meanwhile the real battle is taking place in the North near Kupyansk. The Russians look set to reverse Ukrainian gains from the Kharkiv offensive of last year. They have been largely waiting for the incredibly competent Ukrainian commanders (and their military strategists like "General" Jake Sullivan in Washington) to waste the remains of the men we trained and machines we sent.
    12
  343. No that's Ukraine, there was a protest in Kiev regarding that very topic.
    12
  344.  steveday4130  Unlikely, if the best they can do to offer a fig leaf to Zelelensky, after 3 months of the overhyped offensive, is to quickly raise a flag in a contested village 5 miles from their position in June.
    12
  345. The Russians are very confident they could take out both the UK and French deterrent before either of the diminutive WEF drones got chance to push the button/le bouton.
    12
  346. 1200 Russian casualties a day is not a credible figure given Russian superiority in air power and artillery.
    12
  347. Zelensky couldn't get elected as a dog catcher. That's the reality.
    12
  348.  @mtn1793  Don't blame Christianity for the Neocons, I think you will find a different religion predominates 😂.
    12
  349. You really believe that?
    12
  350. Just because Trump nearly got his head blown clean off, doesn't mean he has the right to send mean tweets about poor Kamala 😢
    12
  351. I firmly predict that Ukraine will WIN. The Eurovision song contest!
    12
  352. Also lying about Ukraine for 2 1/2 years.
    12
  353. Russia beat Ukraine by summer 2022. Since then they have been reliant on outside aid to continue the war and maintain the state. This forced the initial Russian force to withdraw from Kharkiv and Kherson to better defensible lines and adopt a strategy of active defence. The much hyped Summer 2023 counteroffensive, using western supplied arms and western trained troops, failed to make significant progress. It was halted at the first defensive line. All the while the Russian force grew stronger and Ukrainian air defenses grew weaker. From autumn 2023 onwards Russia has crept forward taking fortified towns one after another. All Ukrainian defence belts in Donbas have been breached. Russia now is stronger militarily than at any time since the 1980s and poised to take all Ukraine if nobody wants to negotiate realistically.
    12
  354. Some creative accounting going on. The USA has contributed the most to the proxy war in Ukraine by a long way. They are tagging contributions from EU countries and saying that's what the EU contributed, of course the EU doesn't have any money of it's own, it only has contributions from the member states. So then they can BS the American public into thinking that the USA needs to catch up. Clarkie would make a great timeshare salesman.
    12
  355. There's an easy way for the USA to avoid being targeted. They can pack up and go home from all their illegal and unprovoked conflicts (borrowed that from UK MOD).
    12
  356. Scott should shut up and stop attacking poor Joe Biden. Obama should stick to paddle boarding and leave Joe to do the politicking. Keep going Joe!
    12
  357. Estonia's Dad's Army will save us. 😂
    12
  358. They strongly suspect it's going to be a disaster so they won't acknowledge it's started. It really is Schroedinger's counteroffensive 😵‍💫
    12
  359. Shyster actor delivers American script. Won't be long until it's exit stage left for Zelelensky in my view.
    12
  360. Very mild mockery that that bunch of totalitarians.
    12
  361. There are brand new road and rail links via the "land bridge" which Ukraine spectacularly failed to break last year.
    11
  362. Modern art is rubbish.
    11
  363. Tactical nukes are likely to be used if NATO sends troops to Ukraine. I'm not laughing because I live near a critical military establishment in the UK.
    11
  364. "This is a psychological operation" Yes I know, but enough about Times Radio.
    11
  365. Former RINO in point of fact. The Republican party is MAGA country now.
    11
  366. Did you think that when Hillary had a server with top secret emails in her bathroom?
    11
  367. As the meme goes, "It's not Biden who needs a cognitive test it's his supporters" 😂
    11
  368. You are kidding yourself. America would never risk the casualties which would be immense.
    11
  369. Tory wets hate Farage, so what?
    11
  370. Russia is doing well. BRICS is doing well. The USA is doing well apart from the money spent. The EU is doing very badly especially Germany. The UK is largely unaffected apart from higher energy costs.
    11
  371. ​@bazzo4569The air force is in an even worse state.
    11
  372. This is not a winning strategy for Ukraine. It will only harden attitudes in Russia without any affect on the ground in Ukraine.
    11
  373. They are expecting Ukraine/NATO to capitulate.
    11
  374. Not possible, the public will never go for it. They are pretty fed up of all the money and equipment wasted in Ukraine.
    11
  375. I'd believe convicted child trafficker Maxwell - who wouldn't?
    11
  376. Is the "winning" in the room with us?
    11
  377. All militaries have to adjust to the new paradigm of drone warfare. The Ukraine conflict has shown that tanks are becoming an anachronism due to the ease of top attacks by drones.
    11
  378. As a eurosceptic I'd love to see it but it's never going to happen 🤣
    11
  379. The EU has deindustrialized because of the Net Zero madness.
    11
  380. That's it for the ICC.
    11
  381. Both red and blue brands of the Uniparty are in decline. The only "change" party is Reform.
    11
  382. So what do we know about the stabber. The longer it takes to find out the less likely he's Anglo Saxon.
    11
  383.  @humanbeing9352  Between UK France and Germany we couldn't field more than 30,000. And a great deal of our gear has already been blown up in Ukraine.

  384. Don't care, still voting Reform.
    11
  385. Oh look "Far right thugs"
    11
  386. Ukraine are not going to take back any territory. The summer counteroffensive showed that was impossible for them. In fact it's highly likely Russia will take more oblasts including Odessa and Kharkiv. There is a chance they will take Kiev too.
    11
  387. The governor has very large hands 🤔
    11
  388. This is going to backfire spectacularly in my view. Bibi has his "Pearl Harbour" event to allow him to stave off his political woes with a war. But there is no way to destroy Hamas in Gaza without massive civilian casualties and the USA is not going to be strong enough to protect Israel from the world-wide opprobrium this time.
    11
  389. What kind of delusional World do these people live in? Reminds me of the dinner scene from carry on up the Khyber.😂

  391. Thoughts and prayers to all the traumatised staff at BBC HQ who have had to witness and even report on this harrowing news.😪
    11
  392. First stage of that is to get some industry. Oh and that requires fossil fuels.
    11
  393. It's great we live in the free world not in Russia where oligarchs apparently fall out of windows.
    11
  394. Oh I do hope the incredibly truthful and unbiassed Times doesn't get sidelined. ☹
    11
  395. I don't buy that. Putin told Stoltenberg what conditions would prevent a Russian invasion, therefore he also knew what conditions would provoke one. Same here, they won't attack NATO unless NATO becomes a serious belligerent , for example by hosting the F16s. They have also said that if France sends troops to Ukraine they will be destroyed.
    11
  396. At some point the Times Radio Bizzaro World will have to realign with reality. Most likely they will just stop talking about Ukraine and move onto the next shiny object.
    11
  397.  @Amradar123  The Russians don't target random apartment blocks. If an unintended target is hit it's usually due to friendly fire from air defence.
    11
  398. @dondoodat There is no "climate crisis" the world is currently historically cool and with historically low atmospheric CO2. There is a Malthusian zealot crisis.
    11
  399. Russia hasn't had 800,000 casualties and the Russian economy is doing far better than ours. So they don't want a ceasefire and NATO member toops will not be allowed in Ukraine. But apart from that great "analysis". 🤣
    11
  400. 45/47 is not going to put up with scum media talking trash about him any more C4

  401. North Korea is miles ahead of the West, particularly in the field of cloaking devices. The invisibility shield they have used is a stunning development in my view.
    11
  402. They thought the Ukrainians would be in Crimea by now.
    11
  403. "We have to show we are ready to fight the sort of war being fought in Ukraine" We aren't at all ready for that General and in all likelihood won't ever be 😂. Bear in mind that the conflict in Ukraine is a "Special Military Operation" for the Russians, a very limited affair compared with what a full on war would look like. We assumed western weapons and tactics were so superior that it would make up for less quantity. In fact it's been shown on the battlefield that they are inferior to Russian too. The saving grace for the UK and Europe is that we have NOTHING that the Russians want to acquire. 😂
    11
  404. Ukraine has already had much more than 300 billion and is still losing (has lost really). Stealing foreign exchange from Euroclear would cause capital flight and the EU is already a basket case because of Net Zero madness and the Russian sanctions.
    11
  405. The Trump derangement is very strong at TR HQ. The bots on here accuse me of commenting for cash but I do it as a public service. The UK media needs drastic improvement.
    10
  406. If mental gymnastics were an Olympic sport TR "experts" would get all the medals. Russia is going to make all the demands and state all the terms of any peace deal. Because they have won and NATO has lost.
    10
  407. Ah yes Zelensky's "Victory Plan" 🤣🤣. (Twinned with Hitler's 1945 victory plan, Napoleon's 1815 victory plan, Robert E Lee's 1863 victory plan etc.)

    10
  417.  @Mark5mith  Its a bit irrelevant isn't it? They invaded Russia, captured a couple of villages and got killed leaving their American vehicles to be captured. A sad pointless waste of 80 or so men's lives.
    10
  418. Hmm somebodies missile hits area with locked bomb shelter and the media are immediately on the scene to view the carnage. We know what the media would be screaming if this was Moscow.

  426. There is no evidence whatsoever that Russia is preparing a general mobilisation and the speaker provides none. However that is exactly what Zelensky is set to announce next week - everyone (men and women) 17-60.
    10
  427. The phrase "All bets are off" in regards to nuclear weapons is not one I want to hear from anyone. Russia's nuclear forces are on the highest possible readiness apparently.
    10
  428. Have you signed up to fight?

  429. Not "scorched Earth" just war. The US does the same to countries on the other side of the World from it.
    10
  430. The EU is the imperial power.
    10
  431. Russia has been winning the war of attrition since April 2022. Now Ukraine has little left particularly manpower. So the real question is "When will the British propagandists admit that Ukraine has lost?"
    10
  432. Good old Times Radio, straight to the Trump Derangement Syndrome. 🤣🤣 🤣
    10
  433. The only way the F16s change the game is if they drag NATO into WW3 because they are based outside Ukraine and Russia attacks the airfields. Then the game changes to "Global Thermonuclear War"
    10
  434. So training involves kneeling down, turning to the camera and doing an OMG after firing?
    10
  435. Totally bogus rationale. Most of Ukraine is unaffected. Russia managed to hold referendums in the newest Russian oblasts while the polling stations were under attack from the Ukrainians.
    10
  436. SOS - SAVE OUR SQUIRRELS! (and Racoons)

  437. What next? Will Sean be examining the pros and cons of VX and Anthrax? This is stupid, Ukraine never had a chance against Russia.
    10
  438. "NATO officers spend their days checking Twitter" 🤣🤣🤣 Brilliant narrative to promote Kamil.
    10
  439. No not a game changer. It lands on cars but can't stop missiles hitting the Ukrainian military intelligence HQ or other "decision making centres", which are presumably why it's situated in Kiev hundreds of miles from the front.
    10
  440. The Times doesn't seem to have the same level of interest in the Kiev regime, even though billions of our tax money have gone there. It's not that long since Budanov's wife was poisoned and Zaluzhny's deputy was blown up with a birthday present. Shoigu has been promoted and the new defence secretary is an expert military economist, probably tasked with outproducing the entirety of NATO by an even larger factor tha the current three times.
    10
  441. The F16s are a distraction from the complete failure of the offensive. Of all the systems sent to Ukraine they will be the least practical. They need superior runways, which Ukraine doesn't have. Extensive maintenance logistics, which Ukraine doesn't have. AWACs for command and control, which Ukraine doesn't have. A permissive air environment, which Ukraine doesn't have. And trained pilots, which Ukraine doesn't have. Really just propaganda which will not turn the tide of this failing conflict.
    10
  442. Please go stand with Ukraine in a trench in Ukraine 😊
    10
  443. The reporter lies about the meaning of "meat grinder" in this context. The meaning comes from Russian General Suroviken who said he wanted to create the conditions for Ukraine to waste it's personnel pointlessly defending places that Russia had set up as fire traps where their massive superiority of firepower could attrit them using stand off weaponry like artillery and air power. The Ukrainians were the meat being ground for western PR.
    10
  444. They are mobilizing men without a leg to stand on too.
    10
  445. Funny how Russia keep creeping westward tho. 😏
    10
  446. So Pokrovsk is the most strategically important location in Ukraine right now while Zelensky begs for more weapons and cash at Rammstein. But Pokrovsk will be just symbolic and a pyrrhic victory when the Russians finally capture it in a couple of months.
    10
  447. Glorifying women fighting is sick.

  452. Sacre bleu! I thought it was Russia in economic trouble.
    10
  453. "Russia is running out of weapons" This is the same moronic narrative we have heard for three years. There are no "golf carts" in use in Ukraine Times 🤣, Russian storm troops are using fast ATVs to infiltrate Ukrainian positions after the bulk of the resistance has been suppressed by overwhelming artillery and airpower.
    10
  454. In the UK we have exactly the same system. Labour Conservative and Liberal all have the same policies, generally WEF Globalist ones. Other parties are labelled "extreme".

  465. They are both in BRICS now.

  466. This conflict never needed to happen. Stoltenberg admitted that. All NATO needed to do was withdraw from their threatening posture back to the 1991 situation. Also declare that Ukraine would never be a member. They wouldn't do that and now we are staring WW3 in the face.

  481. He very graciously backed out from the AJ appointment to avoid a circus at the confirmation meetings. But I'm sure he will get something else very soon.
    9
  482. Putin has just announced his ceasefire deal / ultimatum to Ukraine. Withdraw troops from the entirety of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporozhy, Kherson and declare Ukraine will never join NATO and Russia will halt offensive action and begin peace talks. NATO head Stoltenberg has ruled it out, even though the decision should be for the Ukrainian people. As a result I expect the conflict is about to enter it's most intense and devastating stage so far.
    9
  483. TDS delusion 🤣 Trump built a multi-billion business and did a great job as president.

  484. Fantastic mine detector too.
    9
  485. I don't see Russia struggling in any way at all. Ukraine's ability to fight is rapidly dwindling. We see that with the bodged offensive. Their troops were not up to the job because they were all green with a token training in places like the UK. They got slaughtered for no strategic gain. If NATO got directly involved they would lose too in my opinion. The Russian air defence system is the best in the World and their army must be number one by now as well.
    9
  486. Oh, these mythical North Korean troops might defect now 🤣🤣🤣 I see another hoax brewing.

  488. So Russia hasn't run out of missiles yet? (As has been prophesied since March)
    9
  489. Russia has signed a "comprehensive strategic partnership treaty" with North Korea. North Korea have a lot of men in their army that could be in Ukraine in a couple of days should NATO intervene.

  490. What stalemate? 😏 Ukraine has lost it's capability to go on another offensive but Russia has got all the men and machines in theatre to take a great deal more territory.

    9
  517. Likely full of soldiers. Russian ISR strike has become very efficient over the course of the conflict. This was seem by how rapidly the drone conference was targeted.

  533. I can't see Ukraine being around for ten years. Putin put forward the Russian ceasefire demands. They are amazingly reasonable but of course the hubristic West has rejected them on behalf of the people actually doing the dying. So we can expect the Russian military to step up a gear in Ukraine instead.

  536.  @needbettername8583  Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, Zaporozhye as well as Crimea are part of the Russian federation. They declared UDI then had referendums to join Russia. Russia created law to enable their accession to the Russian Federation and have all the benefits of that. Pretending they they will ever be otherwise is causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of poor Ukrainians.

  537. This chap seems to get everything backwards. He will fit in nicely at Times Radio. He's talking about a naval blockade which, subsequent to the sinking of all the capital ships involved, would quickly lead to Armageddon.

  541.  @jab-gn3sw  It's clear that special forces and technical assistance for storm shadow have been operating in Ukraine. But sending an overt force would be insane, they wouldn't last very long as the Russians have absolutely ruled it out.
    8
  542.  @Exsubmariners  It's lies, no evidence to support it whatsoever. The Russian casualties have been steadily decreasing as they gained superiority of men, artillery, missiles, air power etc. The opposite has happened to the Ukrainians as they lost men and machines and the replacements were less and less fit for the job. So it's 2000+ Ukrainian casualties per day and < 150 Russian.

  543. Four years of an incompetent incontenant geriatric left the USA a laughing stock. Mind you Starmer and Lammy are pretty hilarious too.

  547. This is a fallacious argument. Ukraine never stood a chance against Russia. If NATO had become directly involved that could have swung it. However in that case nuclear war would have been very likely.

  550. Reports are Russia has quickly broken through Ukrainian defences around Avdiivka. Some losses are expected breaching defensive lines. Ukraine lost a lot of men and tanks in it's offensive and didn't even break through after four months.
    8
  551. Ukraine tries to start WW3 again.
    8
  552. Interesting, a few admissions of how badly Ukraine is doing. They are the ones with untrained unwilling conscripts. Odessa and other cities are devoid of men in the streets avoiding the press-gang and rapid deployment to the front. Russia has spent a year training it's forces most of whom are in reserve. Talk of Russians being ground up is fanciful.
    8
  553. Sean, it was quite clearly a AIM-120 from NASAMS air defence. You can see the four canards round the middle. Also the relatively slight damage is not consistent with the 450kg warhead of a KH-101 and much better matches the 40 pounds of the AIM-120 with shrapnel causing the broken windows of the building opposite.

  554. You crack me up Andrei. 😂

  567. I didn't hear anything about rejecting the plan in the video. Putin explained to them that Russia is still open to negotiation but that Ukraine has been totally intransigent, even creating a law to prevent any negotiation with him. The African delegation was messed witn Poland and lectured to by Zelelensky. No friends made in either country. By contrast the Russians hosted them gracefully and diplomatically.
    8
  568. The UK has somewhere between 25 and 40 working tanks. They aren't even particularly appropriate tanks for Ukraine. Germany and France have a few more but nothing like the vast numbers which have already been destroyed. So what exactly do you think we can achieve on our own?
    8
  569.  @pokey5736  As in "Did you ever see Donald Trump on the Island?" "No I didn't". He's been exonerated 😛
    8
  570.  @mrharry448  The USA invaded Cuba because they aligned with Russia. There would be no war in Ukraine if we had not encouraged them to join NATO. And it would have been over last April if Bojo hadn't told Zelelensky we would supply them with NATO arms.
    8
  571. You know that Ukraine isn't in either the EU or NATO, right?
    8
  572. "We all thought Russia had lost" I think that's a similar sentiment to that Austrian chap in the 1940s. In both cases wrong. The WEF and NATO devotees will not accept that Ukraine is losing and despite all their efforts will lose.
    8
  573. More Mad Max engineering. What happened to all the HIMARS and Grad launchers?

  574. After Zelensky gets thrown under the bus, say Jan 25.

  575. Why do climate alarmists all fly in private jets and own beachfront mansions😏
    8
  576. Hang on, I thought Ukraine was winning and just about to retake Crimea. Are you saying they won't be able to do that (because they have run out of manpower and the West has run out of weapons). It was only last month you said they would win. I'm starting to lose faith in the accuracy of your predictions. 😔
    8
  577. Wrong on both counts. The Ukrainian army was the second largest NATO standard force. Russia has decimated 4 incarnations of it.
    8
  578. They were wasting your time the first time too.
    8
  579. You mean "Harris has it all to lose". She has had the most obsequious press coverage I can remember. And she can throw that away by being herself 😂😂😂
    8
  580. None of the cases have any merit whatsoever. Pure lawfare. The prosecutors should be investigated.
    8
  581. Anybody remember all the fuss about face masks a couple of years ago?
    8
  582. @TheDriller-Killer  Or Brugger that 🤣
    8
  583. There is absolutely no chance of Ukraine retaking Crimea. And the Kherson "offensive" was actually a Russian tactical withdrawal because they didn't have sufficient forces to retain it safely. The Russian army now is far far stronger and Kherson will be retaken soon.
    8
  584. They are advancing from Bakhmut as well as Marinka. Both were very well defended and really had to be taken. But the main aim of last year was defeating the Ukrainian summer offensive. This has removed a large number of Ukrainian troops from the battle field, destroyed the western supplied equipment and shown it to be no more effective that the Russian equivalent. The Russians have done their best to preserve their men and I think they are happy with a creeping attritional advance until there is either a military or political collapse in Ukraine. I think the total Ukrainian mobilization when it's obvious there is no chance of winning will provide the catalyst for that.

  585.  @JohnWaters-j3m  Putin's bogus indictment - 🥳 Netanyahu's genuine indictment - 🤬 If they didn't have double standards they wouldn't have standards at all 😏

    8
  587.  @ralphwatten2426  The Russians would be crazy to allow it. Essentially gives the Ukrainians a bridgehead over the Dinipro
    8
  588. The casualty figures are coming from Ukrainian MOD which are as reliable as Baghdad Bob.. Kursk has been a complete disaster for Ukraine as they have wasted their best men and machines on a fools errand, some say planned by the UK top brass. Russia has almost broken through the last Ukrainian defense line in the Donbas and done it with relatively few casualties due to overwhelming firepower against untrained Ukrainian conscripts.
    8
  589. ​ @Kodakcompactdisc He's saying "Russia is desperate for allies" as BRICS accepts Saudi Arabia and Iran as members. Meanwhile Joe Biden holds masterclasses on "How to make enemies and alienate people" everywhere he goes 😂😂😂.

  593. Very believable production 🧐
    8
  594. @nickt2822  It's been explained over and over, the initial incursion was just a show of force to get Zelensky to negotiate. There was never sufficient to take Kiev. It's different now, they have assembled a force which could take on NATO directly if required but have avoided big arrrow offensives so far to minimise casualties. Ukrainian casualties by contrast are horrendous and unsustainable.
    8
  595. I don't know what actual knowledge this so called expert has acquired in his career but describing Putin as an "ultranationalist" is obtuse probably beyond accident. Putin is a moderate somewhat along the lines of Sunak and Starmer while the West's darling Navalny was actually an ultranationalist. As for "Sociopath" that describes most politicians, at least Putin is doing his best for his own country unlike the WEF drones we have had foisted on us.

  600. Trump has upended the entire Marxist/Woke consensus in FOUR WEEKS 😂😂😂😂😂
    8
  601. "We need to stop the war - send more weapons" Ukraine needs to surrender before they are completely destroyed and the activist needs to go back there to see how well western weapons help them when they are on the front line.
    8
  602. Don't rely on Trident, it's dual key and the Russians are confident they can take it out if necessary. We are defenseless.

  611. It doesn't matter what Ukraine finds acceptable as a partition, the Russians will not accept any part of Ukraine in NATO.
    7
  612.  @bryandimery6509  The article says "occupied territory" but they mean the Russian federation. It's not occupied territory because the citizens of those regions voted to join Russia under the UN's principle of self determination.
    7
  613. Interesting that the only casualties were a few aircraft. Operation Northwoods comes to mind.
    7
  614. Tyrant? Your definition of "tyrant" is someone who was fairly elected by the majority of the voters? 🤔
    7
  615. Cope, Duda called Ukraine a "drowning man". Ukraine was always going to lose this conflict, they are incredibly lucky that the Russians have taken it slowly and tried to minimise collateral damage so far. Poland understands that courtesy would not apply to them if they got involved.
    7
  616. The main reason is because the story is nonsense.
    7
  617. Russia has just defeated the Kursk incursion. Remember "Russia the second best army in Russia"? All the best Western weapons, all the best trained and motivated Ukrainian troops have been ground up over the last six months. Tens of thousands of them dead and many more disabled. Why would Russia accept a ceasefire which would give Ukraine time to rearm regroup and possibly integrate Starmer's barmy army and Macron's Napoleonic legion?
    7
  618. Ukraine have not broken through the first Suroviken line and are not heading towards Tokmak. Also why does Ukraine need women on the front line? Hint: same reason they have boys and old men there.
    7
  619. No, it's the UK and EU that look like fools.
    7
  620. Adding Sweden and Finland has just made things more dangerous for the rest of us.
    7
  621. Biden's team have tried their best to rig the debate with all the pathetic conditions. They're intended to get Trump to back out in my view. But Trump seems happy to play that game too with the drug test. I'd want an electronic test too to find any hidden earpiece which I think explains why no audience or crosstalk.
    7
  622. The biggest threat to UK security is Keir Starmer.

  626.  @lowridingtrucks88  Putin has proven to be a great wartime leader. Cool calculating and wise. Thankfully for us, very patient too.
    7
  627. Russia has not lost it's manpower. All the evidence says that Russia is the strongest it's been militarily for 30 years. Ukraine however seems to be suffering a catastrophic lack of manpower - that's why they are now mobilizing teenagers by force.
    7
  628. Don Junior has his own "Triggered" podcast on Rumble. He's used his audience to help vet potential nominees having been given the job of black-balling the bad ones like Mike Pompeo and Nicky Haley. It's actually a very democratic process.

  631. Where does the Times find all these crazy conspiracy theorists? 😵‍💫
    7
  632. The war is popular in Russia so is Putin. The war us very unpopular in Ukraine and so is Zelenskyy. This correlates with who is winning and who has lost.
    7
  633. He says he'll quit in exchange for Ukraine in NATO which will be WW3.
    7
  634. Oh dear, how sad, never mind. It will help Doge identify the forests of dead wood.
    7
  635. Do we get to hear Trump or just Trump haters editorialising of his words?
    7
  636. Looks a lot more likely Zelensky will meet that fate when his usefulness runs out.
    7
  637. This is obviously a training exercise. And is this the "combined arms warfare" we have heard so much about? Where are the tanks we sent them?
    7
  638. The two evasive waffling interviewees didn't actually answer the interviewer's questions, so let me help. Q. Is Putin ending the year stronger or weaker than he started it? A. Stronger, the much hyped counteroffensive was defeated and Russia has effectively won the war, both kinetic and economic. Q. How significant is the election in March? A. Russia is a democracy, the elections are internationally monitored so of course he has to win to remain in power. Q. Does there come a time when he has to conscript younger people? A. You are thinking about Ukraine which has just enacted a total mobilization. Russia is currently getting all the troops it needs from volunteers.
    7
  639. The World bank just said Russia is doing great 3.6% growth in 2023. Sweden not so much -0.2%. I wonder if Sweden have been listening too much to people like Anders.
    7
  640. Explain why there are nearly 20 million fewer votes than 2020 and about the same as 2016. Coincidentally the RNC and other groups were incredibly pro-active regarding election integrity this time.😉
    7
  641. Apparently when you include the cost of the sanctions the UK is down well over 100 Billion Quid.
    7
  642. "NATO is a defensive alliance" tell that to Libya and Serbia. There have been discussions about a Polish/Lithuanian commonwealth which would recreate the Polish/Lithuanian Empire which was a major power in Europe. This commonwealth would also contain western Ukraine and potentially parts of Belarus. So that's who Lukashenko believes will attack - Poland and the Baltic states particularly Lithuania.

  645. You are sadly misinformed. The Russians are becoming supremely confident of finishing the job in Ukraine, whether by diplomacy or more likely military force.
    7
  646.  @oldowleye3161  Wow, that's peak delusion.
    7
  647. 30% of western armour gone and 10,000 barely trained Ukrainian conscripts dead for no territorial progress whatsoever - this is a disaster Rich. It's a disaster caused by listening to people like you in fact.

  650. Browder just wants to get his snout back into the Russian trough like the good old days.
    7
  651. That theory came from Bill Burns not Putin.
    7
  652. Zelensky has identified how to slice through everybody's pockets and empty them. If Ukraine hasn't figured out where to attack in the two or three or potential axes then this counteroffensive is dead along with all the poor Ukrainian conscripts. And I love Rupert's condescension of Russian military tactics, which are proving extremely effective at removing Ukraine's ability to fight. Ok Rupe, grab a few Challenger 2s and head up the British expeditionary force to Ukraine - show em how its done!
    7
  653. What is this copetastic nonsense now. There was no prospective ceasefire. They were clear that even if negotiations began there would be no pause in the hostilities. Shoehorning Tucker into this nutty idea shows sour grapes about the interview as well.
    7
  654.  @5gpoweredrunt505  We saw with the Ricky Jones affair that these are the same folks who have been protesting for Palestine for six months. We know the kind of NGOs who are facilitating them.

  661. Doesn't this guy understand that the US doesn't recognise the ICC?
    7
  662.  @theramennoodler7950  He knows the facts, you only know propaganda. Ukraine was always about attacking Russia. The idea was that Ukraine would poke the bear to make it attack and then the mighty NATO and economic sanctions would lead to regime change. So ok Russia crossed the border in 2022 but the aggression against Russia started as soon as Putin took charge via NATO enlargement and building up the Ukrainian nationalists. The CIA had 20 or so bases in Ukraine.
    7
  663. That is some genocidal logic you have there bud.
    7
  664. Send a strongly worded email to Putin.
    7
  665. Ukraine didn't have any nuclear weapons, they had physical control of a large Soviet stockpile of weapons but no way to make them go flash. It was Russia, USA and UK who were signatories not NATO. Russia has respected Ukraine's territorial integrity. The regions all seceded from Ukraine before joining the Russian Federation.
    7
  666.  @Sevenmountainisevil  Ukraine was invited to join NATO at the Bucherest summit in 2008. They knew this was unacceptable to Russia. Before the invasion Russia gave NATO and Biden the option to take NATO off the table. They refused, SMO began.
    7
  667.  @stephenhill545  And ours, which is more important to me tbh.

  671. None of them will play the speech, they will just get some slimeball to say how terrible it was. Just like we see here.
    7
  672. Russia can beat NATO if they have to, for example if NATO troops are sent into Ukraine. But I have yet to hear any good reason why they would want to attack Europe. There are no ethnic Russians and no resources so why would they?
    7
  673. Very convincing 🤣

  680. The Starmer regime is going to poke the bear until the bear pokes the UK.
    7
  681.  @Billhook3391  It's a slow moving attrition war so if a 80 year old tank is good enough you may as well use it. It's been my contention that the Russians are keeping their best stuff in reserve in case NATO gets directly involved.
    7
  682. There are plenty of reports, videos and images showing the rebuilding of Mariupol progressing well.

  689. We've given everything to Ukraine 🤣
    7
  690. So would we, you complete plank.
    7
  691. The attrition ratio is still very likely in Russia's favour around Avdiivka due to their air and artillery superiority and the poor quality of the Ukrainian conscripts and their weapons.
    7
  692. "Trump is a failed businessman" That's the kind of ignorant statement one expects from TDS suffering trolls on the internet 😂

  699. The Russians are advancing rapidly near Pokrovsk. Taking or even encircling it and Selydove will massively complicate Ukrainian logistics in southern Donbas. They are also advancing near Chasiv Yar, Vuhledar and other places.

    7
  711. Quos Deus vult perdere, prius dementat.
    7
  712. This is still miles from the first real "Suroviken" line of defence. As is being acknowledged in the American media, the Ukrainians have no chance of reaching the Sea of Azov or taking Melitopol, which was the objective of this offensive.
    7
  713. Meanwhile back in the real world, Russia captured 15 settlements this week including Kurakhove.

  717. Navalny was a total irrelevance in Russia. This is pure psyop.
    7
  718. The audience was laughing at Kamala's flexible ancestry. The aggressive and rude interviewer also tried to stop Republicans calling her a DEI hire, she is a classic DEI hire😂. She got the vice presidency due to being dark skinned and a woman. Joe Biden said he was going to pick a black woman for the job and had a shortlist of four. It's very very unlikely they were actually the best people for the job, actually Kamala proved that.
    7
  719. More ridiculous hypotheticals. Ukraine is stuck trying to reach the first fortified line of defence and has lost tens of thousands of men doing that. They have virtually no chance of reaching Melitopol. Even getting to Tokmak seems impossible at this point.
    7
  720. She says "Ukraine cannot defend itself without a collective security architecture" i.e. Ukraine has lost the war.
    7
  721. Ukraine has next to no chance of winning. So I would think of another option if I were you.
    7
  722. No they aren't, in fact defenses in the Donbas are crumbling. Ukraine has probably suffered over a million dead at this point.
    7
  723. Palestine is a region we are directly responsible for unlike Ukraine.
    7
  724. Actually it's the civilians in Pokrovsk who are fleeing for their lives right now. Russia is on the cusp of a big victory in the Donbas despite the massive NATO support.
    7
  725. Biden's visit best summarised as dumpster fire 😂. Blinken ignored and avoided. Biden mumbling, bumbling and nearly falling asleep again.
    7
  726. And how much is it going to cost gas & electricity consumers in the UK and Europe? Germany for example is in deep economic trouble because of energy costs.
    7
  727. The estimation of Russia's mobilization given is very low. More like 300,000 every six months and these are fully trained troops after a year of basic and specialised training in the far reaches of Russia, well away from Ukrainian attack. Ukraine can't train it's own troops because they would be Kinzhaled immediately. So they have to send them to a hodge podge of NATO countries to get cursory basic training. This whole article is pure fantasy. Ukraine has just about run out of men, there is an unfolding political crisis between Zelensky and Zalhuznyi, their economy is destroyed and only our charity is propping them up. Meanwhile Russia is steadily advancing over the whole front destroying men and machines at a terrible rate.
    7
  728. It's such a pathetic charge to bring against the leading candidate for the presidency. Widely expected to be overturned on appeal for the myriad of judicial and constitutional issues. Trump fundraising is through the roof.
    7
  729.  @bobbear4437  No honestly they are real, TR has been talking about them for months. So as no one has ever seen one I can only assume they have mastered Romulan/Klingon technology.

    7
  731. It was an interesting couple of hours. I'd love to see Biden talk intelligently for two minutes 🤣
    7
  732.  @boink800  It was a classic Putin discussion. Bit slow for Tucker being American, but Putin gave comprehensive view of why he launched the SMO. Also lengthy discussion about how dumb the West has been with the sanctions and debanking. Tucker pressed him on the American journalist allegedly caught spying, even asked to take him back with them so that's more than anyone did for Gonzalo Lira.
    7
  733.  @kmg474  We didn't defeat the N. That was Russia/Soviet Union
    7
  734. Zelelensky killed Gonzalo Lira.
    7
  735. It's the Ministry of Truth.
    7
  736. In a way I would be pretty impressed if Starmer has the brass neck to try to introduce conscription. The backlash would be immense.
    7
  737. ​ @jamesmichaels4979 It's just pathetic cope after saying the Russian army was rubbish for 2 1/2 years.
    7
  738. This is it! This is the game changer 🥳 I don't know why he thinks the Ukrainian air force is suppressing the Russian. The Russians have destroyed nearly 300 fixed wing aircraft so far. The Ukrainians a fraction of that. The Russians don't go near Ukrainian air defense because they don't need to with the gliding bombs. And they have been very careful to lose as few of their men as possible over the conflict. Edit: It's actually 613 fixed wing destroyed and 276 rotary wing.
    7
  739. No they aren't. Clarkie is wilfully ignorant a lot of the time and Kate would be better suited to celebrity gossip.

  746. Ukraine can't win and we can all lose unless we stop escalation in Ukraine. The UK is a whisker away from being considered a belligerent in the conflict.
    6
  747. Air defence is essential and the UK has barely any.
    6
  748. It's great to know we are allied with nuclear terrorists. By the way Air Vice Marshal Bell, the Ukrainians and the US/UK have an obvious motive to damage the plant in order to get some kind of "peacekeeping" mission there to complicate Russia's coming offensive and hopefully keep Ukraine afloat until after the November election. It's an incredibly reckless stunt but that has typified our involvement in project Ukraine since Boris ordered Zelensky to fight rather than make peace in April 2022.
    6
  749. Love that thumbnail of Zelensky with a helmet on. He couldn't fight his way out a paper bag 😂.
    6
  750. It's astonishing levels of gaslighting from the Times. Even worse than we've seen with Ukraine. The "Iron Dome" and other air defence was completely overwhelmed.
    6
  751. Browder demands regime change in Washington as well as Moscow now 😂😂😂😂😂.
    6
  752. There is eff all industry left in Europe, energy and wage costs killed it off.
    6
  753. There is an entite fantasy world that Phil, Sean, Clarkie, Rupert and all the various American guests live in that bears no resemblance to reality whatsoever.
    6
  754. The British public want the British armed forces to defend the British border. But that seems to be beyond the capability of our armed forces who are more concerned with Ukraine for some reason.
    6
  755. Frank Luntz has of one the worst recorded cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
    6
  756. Like this guy would know what Russia's military production capacity is 🤣. Tell us how they are fighting with shovels and getting chips out of washing machines for their missiles John 😉
    6
  757. @Womberto  MIRV stands for Multiple Independent Re-entry Vehicles. According to Scott Ritter there were 6 re-entry vehicles which had cluster submunitions.
    6
  758. The Democrats are united around a candidate that nobody wanted 🤣🤣🤣
    6
  759. Nobody gives a toss about the Budapest Memorandum. Ukraine never had nuclear weapons because they didn't possess the arming codes.
    6
  760. There won't be any US troops in Ukraine and they won't come to the UKs assistance if Starmer sends the Army or Air Force. Not sure how this guy has got a different message
    6
  761.  @boink800  Depends upon the situation on the ground. Might look like a great deal.
    6
  762. Ukraine didn't actually "liberate" anywhere. The area around Kiev was vacated by the Russians as a goodwill gesture when it was thought that a peace deal had been done. Kharkiv and Kherson were vacated by the Russians as tactical withdrawals. The summer offensive demonstrated what happens if the Russians refuse to relinquish ground.
    6
  763. Fedsurrection you mean.
    6
  764.  @MerryOlSoulGigglesmith  The Times doesn't want to report the Kupyansk offensive so we are back to gossip about Putin.
    6
  765. As valid an assessment as John Bolton's of Trump.
    6
  766. I'm adding this to my list of "aged like milk" TR predictions. FYI Times President Putin has a General staff with tens of thousands of officers to plan military strategy and tactics.
    6
  767. I'm very very far from willing.
    6
  768. Banning athletes, who have nothing to do with the dispute being protested, is one of the most pathetic and petty acts of soft power. But that's the kind of silly PR act which has typified the period of USA hegemony.
    6
  769. But in 2028 it will be Vance Don Junior for 8 years.
    6
  770. Why so little damage then? KH-101 has a half ton warhead.
    6
  771. What a rambling mess of an interview.
    6
  772. Peak copium. Temporary exchange rate fluctuations will not make any difference to the Russian's execution of the conflict. Meanwhile Oreshnik and similar systems will allow Russia to finish off the Zelensky regime without mass Russian casualties and without nuclear escalation. It will also enable Russia to create conventional deterrence against further NATO escalation. Who wants Mr Oreshnik calling at Lakenheath or number 10 say?
    6
  773. Pretty sure Russia doesn't need to import raw materials for its war effort. What do you think they need from elsewhere?
    6
  774. Tell that to Soros (both)
    6
  775. You had a vegetable President for 4 years.
    6
  776. It's a shame no one in the states will depose Geriatric Joe Biden.
    6
  777. The UK has more generals than tanks 🤣
    6
  778. Where the hell does the so called "Defence Editor of the Telegraph" get his information from. All important facts completely wrong.
    6
  779. Clarkie is another one with no shame. I suppose you don't get to be head of RUSI and retain your academic integrity. Russia is currently steamrolling Ukraine and the aid package isn't going to change that one iota.
    6
  780. If it's Harris then it's an incomprehensible word salad.
    6
  781.  @nothingbutthisthatandtheother  It's a Challenger 2 not a Leopard. It's straight from the UK army just with previous generation reactive armour.
    6
  782. 🤣
    6
  783. Looks like a "Welrod" pistol.
    6
  784. Collective delusion is a kind of unity I suppose.
    6
  785. You move about a bit.
    6
  786. The great Ukraine counteroffensive is a complete failure. The Western supplied weapons platforms have been unimpressive and the NATO trained troops useless.
    6
  787. A Russian army's contingent of tanks may defeat the Russian army. 10 unmaintainable UK tanks are just another cost to the tax payer. Admit it Richard project Ukraine has failed.
    6
  788. Perhaps he believes Russia has a solid first strike strategy and thinks Russia will do better than the USA. One thing for sure the UK would be toast.
    6
  789. Hardly, Cameron is a remainer and a quitter - he resigned when the referendum he was forced into holding gave the wrong result.
    6
  790. Ukraine never had a chance,
    6
  791. He's intoxicated most of the time like Churchill.
    6
  792. Actually in the real World, the USA and Russia are working towards removing growth killing sanctions as well as restoring full diplomatic relations.
    6
  793. Same tired hoax talking points 🥱🥱🥱
    6
  794. Apparently he's in there because he wouldn't "stand with Ukraine". USA diplomats gave Pakistan "an offer they couldn't refuse" and Son of a Gun - he was ousted and convicted. Democracy in action.
    6
  795.  @rooster1012  All reasonable people care.
    6
  796. Russia has shown it can breach any Ukrainian defences it wants to.
    6
  797. What?, dumbest US President in history?
    6
  798. He has a best selling book about it. If you wrote a book "The art of whinging on the internet" you could be called an expert whinger.
    6
  799. Have you got a wall with maps newspaper clippings random notes and photographs all connected by coloured cords?
    6
  800.  @norbertjendruschj9121  I'm stating facts, it's you who have accepted the propaganda 🤣. The OP is trying to use legalism about the Budapest Memorandum as his argument but if we are speaking legally we need to be precise.
    6
  801. Taylor Swift, known for making terrible choices in men.
    6
  802.  @frankstonrat  Until I see some actual evidence to support the claim I will.
    6
  803. He was well boosted so that may explain it. Seems to be the common factor when young sports stars "die suddenly"
    6
  804. Reform 2024!
    6
  805. Zelensky is responsible for the war.

  807. Where is your evidence for the non existence of God? 😏
    6
  808.  @davidcampbell3642  You see, I'd rather not find out. That's been my position for 2 1/2 years.
    6
  809. Can't get the Austin Powers meme out of my head. "The Ukraine counteroffensive is a disaster." "Release the UFOs !"
    6
  810. Trump 2024!
    6
  811. I don't think you understand the phrase "America First"
    6
  812. I thought Bakhmut was insignificant and just symbolic. So why are the Ukes wasting their best troops trying to regain it?
    6
  813. ISW have zero credibility at this stage.
    6
  814. The ship never entered UK waters, i.e. within 12 miles of the coast. Healey is deliberately misinforming parliament and the UK public.
    6
  815. Elon Musk is not Scaramucci. He's just as forthright and tough as President Trump and a lot richer than him. They are peers while Scaramucci is not.
    6
  816. The Russians could be forced to do a land swap and in other "news" I could win the lottery.
    6
  817.  @quranyeshua  You think Orban is in a conspiracy with Putin which is a completely ridiculous theory.
    6
  818. I hope Kash reveals the whole of "Crossfire Hurricane" Which seems to me have been a Democrat/MI6 plot to oust a sitting US president.
    6
  819. It will cost the climate conmen more.
    6
  820. It's a road and rail hub and was the major town of the "Zelensky" defence line.. A massive blow to Ukraine and at an enormous cost in terms of manpower and equipment. The Russians had an order of magnitude fewer casualties. They have pledged to completely rebuild it.
    6
  821. Sky News backstage looks like the screaming women meme right now.
    6
  822. Repelling the Iranian air attack apparently cost 1 billion dollars in air defence missiles, not including contributions from the UK et al. If the Iranians were to repeat this every week Israel would run out of ammo fairly quickly and, like we see in Ukraine, be essentially defenceless.
    6
  823. That's been the narrative for two years as Russia has ground up 25% of the UK's heavy weapons, alongside 60% of the Czech Republic's etc. They have beaten NATO as well as Ukraine.
    6
  824. He says the Russian army is bigger and better than it was at the start of the conflict, exactly the opposite of Llyod Austin's assertion that Russia was being weakened. So far so good but then he states Ukraine was out manned at the start too which is completely wrong. Russia made the initial territorial gains despite being the much smaller force. This is why they were forced to withdraw in the Kherson and Kharkiv counteroffensives. As for North Korean troops, there is no evidence to support that it's most likely propaganda as is the North Korean shells story.
    6
  825. @Kalendrian  That's not the trajectory I see. They are currently number one in the polls.
    6
  826. Ukraine can't win by military means. Supplying Ukraine has depleted NATO to the point of having no more surplus to give. Also Russia is building extensive fortifications, even more imposing than the ones Ukraine created over the last 8 years. So even if NATO became involved the losses to reclaim the newly occupied regions would be so high the war would quickly become very unpopular with the people.
    6
  827. Trump has this now. Neocon Nikki has to drop out.
    6
  828. I wouldn't crow too soon Galloway's WPB may well get a few Labour seats/defectors.
    6
  829. Doug MacGregor has said that Russia can easily escalate sideways. Africa is one region this can be achieved, in this case by cutting off supplies of Uranium and other important resources. So France is in now a very difficult position given their reliance on nuclear power (also the UK via undersea cables to northern France).
    6
  830. "Senior Republicans" what RINO never Trumpers? Trump is going to anihilate Harris 😂
    6
  831. Are the Telegraph going to match the sour grapes of the BBC and Channel 4, let's see.....
    6
  832. Both intelligent, pragmatic leaders who love their respective countries.
    6
  833. Ukraine will be lucky to survive the winter.
    6
  834. Russia must be a beacon of democratic transparency if this truely is their law. Perhaps Putin deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for it.🥇
    6
  835. The audience, presumably black, thought his comments were hilarious. They don't like the way Kamala is using identity politics, particularly when her identity (and fake accent) changes as is convenient.
    6
  836. Complete nonsense figures from Zelensky's MOD.
    6
  837. I don't believe Greg knows anything at all about Russia or it's army. 😂 This seems to be the defining quality required to be a "Russia expert" in Neocon administrations.
    6
  838. When they were the only thing keeping them from total defeat.
    6
  839. Not since "Call me Dave" Cameron and "I agree with Nick" Clegg. Then they changed their logo to the new socialist eco cult green tree. Boris has been the biggest disappointment.
    6
  840. Dimitry Medvedev is not overly impressed. "The Washington Summit Declaration of July 10 mentions “the irreversible path of Ukraine” to NATO. For Russia, 2 possible ways of how this path ends are acceptable: either Ukraine disappears, or NATO does. Still better, both."
    6
  841. Or a loonie.
    6
  842. The UK didn't have fixed election dates like Ukraine. Also we didn't ban opposition parties like Ukraine.
    6
  843. @Krusty2024 Zelensky has "lost" half the money that's been sent - DOGE audit incoming.
    6
  844. I wouldn't buy a used car from Hamish.
    6
  845. Phil is a very unconvincing fibber in my view about as unbelievable as Chris Steele and Clarkie.
    6
  846. ​ @JimTimber I see no evidence whatsoever of desperation on the Russian side. They are winning this thing and the much talked about counteroffensive couldn't have gone much better for them.
    6
  847. It's certainly helped the Russian army. It is now far bigger and more experienced that before February 2022. By contrast the UK has been demilitarised after sending it's gear to be blown up in Ukraine. No happy talk from MOD spin doctors can change that.
    6
  848. So did the Black Knight from Monty Python. Determination is required but not sufficient.
    6
  849.  @PeterSedesse  I believe the 66,000 kia/wia. The Challenger tank is only notable due to the boasting in the run up to the offensive. The Challengers were set to roll victorious into Melitopol after all the Russians had run in terror from the Leopards and Bradleys. But that was 10 months ago before reality intervened.
    6
  850. Seriously don't you get bored posting the same thing for every video.😂 Ok, that's not quite true you do have the Rouble thing as well but that's it.
    6
  851. I think the Ukes are being economical with the actualité again - breathlessly regurgitated by Phil. Phil also repeating the lie that the second and third lines are less well defended. In fact line two is the best defended as the plan is for Ukraine to break the first line, fail to break the second and end up in a terrible position with Russians all around. Yes line one is meant to be broken but they haven't managed to do that in four months,
    6
  852. It's pretty clear that Zelensky doesn't care about the loss of human life. There are confirmed reports, by Ukrainian soldiers, of Ukrainian conscripts dragged off the streets and sent to Bakhmut after 3 days training. Whereas it's clear that the Russians are far more careful with their troops. We see this by the very well organised withdrawal from Kherson city and the length of time the mobilised reservists have been in training. The reality is the UK has enables a genocide in Ukraine by prolonging this war at the behest of the US Neocon warmongers and that stain will be upon our country for many years to come.
    6
  853. He doesn't say "Trump will take an axe to the constitution" Times - fake headline. He says "Trump will take an axe to the rules based order and 'constiutional norms'" both of which are meaningless terms.
    6
  854. "Times Radio shocks viewers by acting like toddlers. Spitting out their dummies and throwing their toys out of their prams"
    6
  855. Max says Putin has had no major meetings, conveniently forgetting the BRICS summit and his trip to the UAE etc. He didn't get the pleasure of a weekend at Bernies in Scranton or Drag queen story time at the Whitehouse I suppose. Nor got the benefit of listening to Starmers vocally tutored brogue. I'm sure he was very sad about all that. Speaking of which isn't it great that Starmer Healey and Lammy get to captain the sinking ship of Project Ukraine.
    6
  856. Steiner's offensive is just beginning to show the fruits of success. Victory is guaranteed. War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.
    6
  857. They won't reach the Sea of Asov ever now. They've run out of poor slobs to feed into the meat grinder.
    6
  858. Boris said more or less the same previously but he's conveniently forgotten that.
    6
  859. Oh it's Hamish again. 🤦🏻 The slightest Ukrainian success is a game changer. The worst disaster is "a mere scratch". His glass isn't half full it's permanently overflowing. His spectacles are the rosiest possible. ... (You get the idea with that) Most likely Ukraine bombed an almost empty building and no generals were affected at all.
    6
  860.  @YankaBakasci  Not Solovyov, I'll look him up. Also The Duran, Daniel Davies, Larry Johnson, Judge Napolitano, Dialog Works and others.
    6
  861. This 'pees' conference is a Who's Who of who's that?😂 A completely Onanistic exercise in hubris and political impotence.
    6
  862. Sunak's manifesto is an endorsement of Reform.
    6
  863. The fake news being fake news is not news Sky. We expect the fake news to act like fake news. Such as being told not to ask questions in Saudi Arabia then asking a question and getting forcibly removed. Or in this case ignorantly arguing with an expert economist.
    6
  864. The exact opposite will happen. The persecution is making him more popular with minorites who understand what it's like when "the man" decides to oppress you.
    6
  865. This is Baghdad Bob level propaganda. Kiev retains most of the remaining Ukrainian air defence assets but even there they can't shoot down everything as claimed. The Russians are primarily attacking the warehouses, troop concentrations and logistics essential to the western demanded counteroffensive. Which could mean it's finished before it even starts.
    6
  866. By "infiltrated" he means "handled".
    6
  867. She has done literally nothing for 4 years 😂😂😂
    6
  868.  @cchavez248  Riiiiight, it was the weather 😂. In terms of fighting and dying it was the Soviet Union.
    6
  869. That may have been a slight exaggeration by our over exuberant media.
    6
  870. So Zelensky has lied about a Russian missile attack again, screaming it was purely civilian, when it was actually a legitimate military target. Sean misses out that there will have been military top brass at the expo making it even more legitimate.
    6
  871. Symbolic pyrrhic victory of an insignificant city? In which case why did the Ukrainians decide to lose 30000+ men to defend it? It's not insignificant. It's an important transport hub, capture of which will make Russia's offensive easier. A NATO standard army (one of the best with a far smaller dog kink and drag queen cadre than some of the others ) has been defeated by a mercenary militia comprising in part of convicts. Let that sink in.
    6
  872. Do I detect the tiniest bit of bias from Times Radio's otherwise entirely neutral editorial team 🙃. PS. That weirdy beardy prof hasn't got anything right about Ukraine.
    6
  873. Ukraine is completely unsuitable for the EU in it's current condition. Even considering Ukraine shows the EU is being run by extreme ideologues rather than sensible people. It makes me even more content that I voted to leave in the referendum.
    6
  874.  @Testchannels-z8j  Putin is a moderate and a dove. His inner circle would prefer him to be far more brutal.
    6
  875. Commentators have suggested that due to the wide river crossing, which is also preventing a counter attack by Ukraine, that a rear attack on Kherson city is most likely. So the Russians would cross the Dinipro river in Zaporizhzhia then sweep West to Kherson.
    6
  876. I hope he didn't misgender them.😏

  877.  @christpower5402  Do you realise how childish you sound?

  878. @lolipopcrash That's the normal US position. Perhaps join in right at the end. 😂
    6
  879. Scaramucci is one of Trump's many bad choices. Hopefully he will pick a better team this time.
    6
  880. My prediction is this is the move which breaks the camel's back and causes a coup (in Ukraine).
    6
  881. Two of times' guests are claiming that the Ukrainian incursion into Kursk was nothing to do with NATO and was all Zelenskys idea. This tells me two things. 1. It was a NATO plan. 2. It's failed and becoming an embarrassment.
    6
  882. This sounds like desperation from the people who stoked this reckless conflict and who are now facing a strategic defeat. I'm talking about the warmongers in London and Washington of course.
    6
  883. Whoever the candidate is, it will be the donors who will decide not the members.

  910. I ❤ Elon, he's annoying all the right people.
    5
  911.  @boink800  It's not my deal, I'm not even Russian. Vacating the annexed regions is the Russians' preconditions for a ceasefire and talks. I agree with Larry Johnson and others that the final deal will require Ukraine to forfeit control of Odessa at least. Otherwise the Black Sea fleet and Crimea will still be vulnerable to attack in the future.
    5
  912. Military drone convention. Very prompt action on intelligence by the Russians.

  924. President Trump is off to a fantastic start. He's doing what his voters wanted him to do. Newsome should probably stay quiet given the way California has handled the wildfires.
    5
  925. Yes and No. Trump Yes, Biden No.
    5
  926. NATO is a paper tiger apart from nukes. No way it could beat Russia in Ukraine. First issue, who is going to turn up to fight? Turkey won't and they have the second largest army. The USA may but the logistics will be very difficult, the Russians subs will see to that. All in all it's a really really dumb idea by the people who have got the whole of this conflict wrong so far.

  930. "Why the counteroffensive can still succeed" Very nearly an admission that it has failed. I didn't think it had any realistic chance, my YouTube comments bare that out, for all the reasons that it has thus far failed. I didn't think it would be such a total failure that the poor Ukrainian conscripts would be sacrificed without even reaching the first Russian fortified line though.

They were invited in by independent Luhansk and Donetsk to protect them from aggression and ethnic cleansing by Ukraine. Now you might think that sound a bit sus but it's exactly what NATO said about Kosovo. No mention of the "Rules based order" where the only rule is "it's alright when we do it"

  1002. William Hague was a catastrophe for the Tories. Now he seems to be futher left than Starmer.
    5
  1003. If they could they would. The reality is that NATO would find it even harder than Ukraine to do that.

  1004. Russia has demonstrated how weak NATO really is. They talk big but have run out of weapons propping up their proxy in Ukraine.
    5
  1005. Paul Mason with the Ukraine flag fingernails as I recall.🤡
    5
  1006. Copemeter off the scale. Phil is massively overstating Russian casualties. Vuhledar population was 14,000 so he thinks Russia lost 8x14000 = 112,000 to take it. There were a few unsuccessful frontal assaults early on in 2023 then the Russians sat back and used airpower. The final push, now that Ukraine is on its last legs, was pretty quick and relatively painless.

  1012. @wildblue0  The facts can't be "pushed back".

  1013. Zelensky thought he could embarrass Trump into giving security guarantees (i.e. a military alliance) after Macron and Starmer failed to finesse him into them. The plan failed bigly. 🤣🤣🤣
    5
  1014. Ok genius, what tariffs should Starmtrooper impose first?
    5
  1015. This Saul Alinsky tactic of personalising everything to Putin is really childish. I get that you want the bad man to go away but blaming him for everything isn't going to make that happen.
    5
  1016. Russia is likely softening up Ukraine prior to an offensive in the spring. Waves of cheap drones are an efficient way to depleat Ukrainian air defenses. As they are now more or less dependent on our supplies of air defence missiles it depleats our air defence capability at the same time.
    5
  1017. Sir Starlin is very great leader of USSGB.
    5
  1018. Perhaps they did, perhaps the Ghost of Kiev is actually Maverick 😯.
    5
  1019. Debates 🤣 Do you honestly think they will allow Geriatric Joe Biden onto a stage with Trump? It took all the media protection possible to save him from totally embarassing himself in 2020, he is far far more demented now.
    5
  1020. This much advertised counteroffensive is probably going to be a disaster. The Ukrainians have no air cover, the Russians have air superiority in the likely offensive regions. They also have a massive defence network created over the last 6 months, far greater numbers of up to date tanks and other armour available and 700,000+ fully trained troops. They might take a bit of territory but the losses will be massive. But hey at least Michael and Sky will have a show.
    5
  1021. The smart ones escaped before the country turned into Zelensky's gulag.
    5
  1022. If the greatest victory of the offensive so far is capturing this village miles from the first real Russian defensive line then I would say they had approximately zero chance of winning.
    5
  1023. The head of the FSB says our foreign intelligence service is one of the actors behind the Crocus attack.

  1025. I'd like to know how Dominic refers to media people. It would open up a whole new field of profane Anglo-Saxon studies.
    5
  1026. Precision strike hits precisely. It does perhaps show that Russia is not particularly afraid of NATO. Article five is not an immediate declaration of war and given how poor NATO ammunition supplies are it's by far from certain they would actually employ military action. I suppose the plucky Brits could send our 40 (!) remaining tanks in an expeditionary force 😂

  1039. I don't think Zelensky will ever get to negotiate anything now. Nor will the UK and EU.
    5
  1040. This story reminds me of the famous Sunday Sport article "WW2 Bomber found on the Moon", which offered proof in the form of a clumsy photo montage of an American warplane in a lunar crater. The Rear Admiral here is preparing for the subsequent disappearance of the North Korean troops in a similar vein to the Sport's "WW2 bomber found on the moon has disappeared!". The evidence being the unmodified photo of the lunar crater.

  1049. Since when was Ukraine part of European security? The years of bear poking by the EU and NATO has put European security at risk, we should be thankful that President Putin is so reasonable.
    5
  1050. ​@Alf-mg9wzHe also claims they are shooting down the drones with helicopter cannons 😏. The reality is that the Ukrainians have very little air defence left, they also moved a lot to Kursk where it got destroyed.
    5

  1052. The New York lawfare will probably see the prosecutors sanctioned (hopefully disbarred) and the judgements overturned on appeal.

  1058. Russia must be pretty pleased with Bibi for kicking the hornets nest in Lebanon and starting this. Zelensky will not be so happy as attention drains away from Ukraine. "The attack caused very little damage" - seriously Times. There seemed to be a heck of a lot of missiles hitting something on the ground and exploding.

  1110. The side that wants to use tactical nukes is the USA/NATO. They were desperate to do it against North Korea and Iran and would love to do it against Russian forces in Ukraine. NATO can't win any other way. This has been shown by the lack of ammunition that can be sent to the Zelensky regime - it doesn't exist. The USA have a whole range of tactical nuclear designs including nuclear artillery shells and even the ADM man portable nuke and I'm sure they would use them after the first few thousand American soldiers returned in body bags from a conventional war in Ukraine.
    5
  1111.  @barragan9652  Yeah well they got a very rapid training on them, apparently it takes 18 months to master either Leopards or Bradleys so just a waste of lives and tax money. The new Russian IFVs look very smart. And unlike western tanks the T-xx have autoloaders which must be an advantage especially with a crew which was grabbed off the street a month before.
    5
  1112. Pretty sure Russia would have no problem shooting down or jamming Tomahawks which is a very old weapons system. Of course a mass Tomahawk attack would probably elicit a nuclear response and we would all die.

  1119. I don't know how Russia has changed it's strategy. Russia has been executing a war of attrition for the whole of the SMO. The aim was "demilitarisation", meaning destroying the Ukrainian army, and "denazification" meaning the removal of the Zelelensky regime and his nationalist power base. This has been ongoing and has lead to the unfortunate deaths of at least 1/2 million Ukrainian men and wounding of a million more. Russia has had an order of magnitude fewer casualties.

  1123. Trump doesn't think he is the Messiah. But he does firmly believe that God is on his side. Only the sad empty atheists disagree with that assessment considering what happened on Saturday.

  1124. Get that man a straightjacket and have a padded cell ready. I can't be bothered to listen to 40 minutes but based on the headline and the first five minutes he has completely lost touch with reality 🤣 The Ukrainian air defence is completely depleted - they have what we call a "DISINTEGRATED" air defence 😏.
    4
  1125.  @blabber1975  I haven't got any but in any case it wouldn't matter to Russians because Russia is self sufficient for most important things. Exchange rate only matters for imports and exports. A lower Rouble means they get more for their very large exports.

  1132. Paid protesters and other useful idiots protesting a law almost the same as FARA in the USA. Why shouldn't people know who is paying for the "civil society" NGOs. We will find out it's the usual CIA regime change organisations and trouble making billionaires. No wonder they don't want the public in Georgia or elsewhere to know.
    4
  1133. The Russian casualty figures come from the Ukrainian MOD and are not reliable. Ukrainian casualties are likely to be well over a million given Russia's superiority in all aspects of the conflict.
    4
  1134. Marc is making inappropriate conclusions from inaccurate information. Russia isn't losing lots of men every day, Ukraine is. Russia is being very careful to preserve its manpower while Ukraine is doing the exact opposite. He can say "the Ukrainian MOD says that Russia is losing 1500 a day" but analysing the way they are fighting this conflict it's obvious that is nonsense to anybody let alone a military expert.

  1147. ​ @101wildgoose  @CountDuckEgg is completely correct . They were Soviet Union weapons not Ukrainian. Also the Ukrainians never had the arming codes so they couldn't use them. An analogous situation is if if you find a lost bank card and don't have the PIN.

  1156. The German high command don't think Russia has lost, Sean should have a chat with them. The head of Germany's military task force on assistance for Ukraine, Major General Christian Freuding. "We see that the Russian armed forces are not just able to compensate for their enormous personnel and material losses on their own and with the support of their partners, but that they are successfully rearming.

  1157.  @pedroprague  They don't seem to announce a running total of intercepted missiles. They claim 19 HIMARS last week. Trying to maintain the fallacy that Russia is executing this war incompetently is getting harder all the time. They are far more competent than Ukraine at this point and very likely superior to the USA too.

  1160. Poltava was a military target despite this guys pearl clutching. Listening to an American moralising about the Russian air campaign, which has been extremely surgical, after all the civilian casualties caused by American bombing in Korea, Vietnam, Serbia, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen and the rest is just sickening.

  1163. Since when did EU lapdog Starmer care about sovereignty.

  1164. The Oreshnik missile just used in Dnipro can hit anywhere in Europe. It's not a nuclear missile but can still cause considerable damage over a fairly wide area. If Storm Shadow attacks continue I fully expect the UK or it's foreign bases to be hit. How do we respond to that? it's way past time to pull the plug on project Ukraine.
    4
  1165. They fear the Ukrainian terrorists who have been shelling the plant since it was captured by the Russians.
    4
  1166. The Duran have discussed this. They think he won't ever. So we see the narrative has changed from "Blitzkrieg to the sea of Asov" to "slow but steady progress". They are starting to talk about the offensive continuing the offensive later in the year or next spring. Meanwhile the foreign backers are desperately trying to get an armistice to freeze the conflict on the current lines.

  1167. Trump has "passed the torch" to Starmer Lammy and Healey so i think it's cut and run.

    4
  1200. Russia will not cease firing unless Ukraine surrenders. Ukraine has lost and Zelensky is sacrificing his population in a futile bid to postpone the inevitable collapse and save his miserable skin. Hopefully the Trump team will realise that and cut off aid if Zelensky refuses to capitulate.

  1203. The Harris and Walz rallies attract people for 2 reasons. 1. They are paid to go. 2. They want to see some celeb, some of whom perform. Very few want to see Harris or Walz. The people who go to a Trump or Vance rally want to see Trump and or Vance.
    4
  1204. There was a video of Ukrainian soldiers in a trench all 50+. They are sending women to the front. So it seems logical to send grannies armed with ground to air jars of pickles for air cover.

  1212. Relatively balanced for a change. So NATO proxy Ukraine is going to lose unless we go all in for WW3. In other words what every sensible commentator has been saying since February. We were surprised by how tentative the Russians were at the start, hoping for a diplomatic solution, but now that it's a clear proxy war with the NATO Neocons the Russian gloves have come off.
    4
  1213. Vance comes across like a nice all American guy. Intelligent articulate and personable. Harris and Waltz are a pair of clowns, which is why Kamela had to drop out of the primary first in 2020. No amount of gaslighting will change that.

  1219. Europe has nothing left to give as for the UK we have really demilitarized ourselves.
    4
  1220. One can almost taste the desperation at Times Radio HQ. They are looking at twin Putin and Trump victories and have to resort to denial like three year old kids.
    4
  1221. The negotiations between the USA and Russia will probably hardly touch the Ukraine conflict. That problem will most likely solve itself over the next few months.

  1222. They wouldn't admit it had started now they won't admit it's failed.
    4
  1223. "Russia is running out of weapons" propaganda gets another reprise 😊
    4
  1224. Malaysia is seeking BRICS membership, so is Thailand. Vietnam has expressed interest and after Putin's visit I expect they will formally apply. The American empire is going through the same death throes as the British empire before it. It's like the stages of grief and Mark represents the "Denial" phase.
    4
  1225. Ukraine has a no manpower problem. The mobilization videos are getting crazier as young men battle in the street with uniformed goons.

  1228. Right what's the latest mentalist gymnastics from RUSI. I thought Putin would be dead either naturally or extrajudicially by now. But today's hope is that, for no particular reason, China is going to tell Putin to ignore all the blood and treasure spent and just give up.🤣
    4
  1229. Russia is not going to allow Ukraine to join NATO. They are currently advancing over the whole front after comprehensively defeating Ukraine's counteroffensive last year. Avdiivka is a huge victory for the Russians. It was taken much quicker than people expected after a incredibly daring special forces mission used an old sewer pipe to get behind Ukrainian lines in the Tsars Hunt district. The Ukrainians were routed in Avdiivka and their morale now is very low according to reports. The 60 billion will only aid western arms makers and the kleptocrats in Kiev and Washington.
    4
  1230. You're right - Times Radio deletes many of my comments.
    4
  1231. What lies was that. The only lies I heard was from the anchor about Trump inciting a Fedsurrection.
    4
  1232. The UK army for example would last about a week in Ukraine if they ever reached the front line at all. Why anyone would trust advice from us is beyond me.
    4
  1233. The mourners apparently blocked the road like our eco nuts do. The police asked them nicely not to. Eventually they ran out of patience and had to arrest them with the camera crews ready to film the event.
    4
  1234. I'm not willing.
    4
  1235. It's never going to happen. They are not going to give up Crimea or the newly Russian oblasts ever. Ukraine tried to recapture them in Summer 2023 and failed miserably.
    4
  1236. Please describe one thing that is better under Biden than Trump.
    4
  1237. Russia has called NATOs bluff, 3 years of massive support for Ukraine have failed because NATO hasn't got the resources to fight Russia in Ukraine. The EU is in a desperate state because of the Russian sanctions, France and Germany in particular. There is likely to be massive refugee crisis over the winter too. The only plan that makes sense is a Ukrainian capitulation.

  1240. Have you seen all the hilarious videos of "liberals" (both sexes) melting down?
    4
  1241.  @eddiel7635  It's all true Eddie. Look up Wikipedia if you don't believe me about the Budapest Memorandum. Ukraine had nuclear material but didn't have bombs because they didn't have the codes for the PALs. DPR and LPR declared UDI which was recognised by Russia. They then asked for assistance to protect their civilians from the Kiev army and militias.
    4
  1242.  @norbertjendruschj9121  Ok so you accept Ukraine never had nuclear weapons, they had the components of Russia's nuclear weapons. But you don't accept that Russia's invasion was legal under international law? The Russians used exactly the same legal rationale as NATO did for invading Serbia.
    4
  1243. ​ @richardstewart6900  DPR and LPR declared independence in accordance with the UN charter Article 1 (2) on self determination. "Their sovereignty was recognized by South Ossetian authorities in 2014, Russia and Abkhazian authorities in February 2022,[1][2] Syria in June 2022[3][4] and North Korea in July 2022." - Wiki Russia entered a defence pact with the LPR and DPR and as part of that engaged in military activity AKA. the SMO. Now Kosovo wasn't widely recognised but the USA pressured the court to accept it anyway. Putin is a lawyer and I'm sure he enjoyed using the USA's bullying against them.

  1244.  @eastlondon666  Same logic applies to Reform. They could be kingmakers in a hung parliament.

  1249. No intelligence assets among the TR editorial staff 🤭

  1250.  @luke250829  Really? I must have missed that. How exactly did that happen when probably a million Ukrainians are dead or irretrievably wounded and the Russian army is the largest it's been since the 1980s?
    4
  1251. President Trump is a far more historic character than King Charles anyway. The cudos would be flowing towards him from a state visit by the President. Poor guy had to entertain with that weird loser in a track suit, (no not Jimmy Saville, Zelensky)

  1252. Diversity is our strength but not our height 😊

  1254. Andrew needs to get past the "Denial" phase of grief and accept that Russia has won the war in Ukraine against NATO. When you do that, as President Trump and his team seem to have, everything is quite logical. The best thing for the USA and the World is to negotiate a peace which preserves as much of Ukraine as possible and doesn't lead to WW3.
    4
  1255.  @callump9228  There should be no profit or dividends. All our tax money should pay for the weapons we need not shareholders. That's if we are serious about building our defenses. I believe the current price of a 155mm shell is more than 10 times the Russian equivalent.

  1256.  @MrTyger11  Yeah me Pooty and Priggy were the cool kids.

  1257. I bet Russians are far less sick of Putin than Ukrainians are of Zelensky 😂 Current genius ideas from Mr Z include mobilising all youths , disabled people and women. He's sacking military top brass (if they don't get blown up by a birthday present first) probably due to worries of a coup. But of course it's Putin in trouble 🙄

  1265. We've seen plenty of Sholtz's tanks burning and a couple of Sunack's tanks have burnt too. Some of Sholtz's tanks had Sholtz's Wehrmacht troops in them too - allegedly. I wonder if Sunak's tanks had Sunaks's troops in them.

  1269. Where do these air defence assets come from? They had an enormous integrated air defence, they used up the interceptors and the Russian blew up the launchers and radars. Then exactly the same thing happened with the supposedly superior western air defence systems, causing a great deal of embarrassment at Lockhead Martin HQ and elsewhere NATO is tapped out, turns out it was a paper tiger.

  1296. "People say you use your soldiers as cannon fodder." "We don't" Oh well that's cleared it up; I'm convinced.😉 At least he posed the point though he hardly pressed the dramatically attired propagandist (no time to change or shave) for the truth. Even the leaked US assessment says that Ukraine has lost many times the number of men as Russia Those lost are the ones who could actually fight a counter offensive, not the three week crash-course in Britain and elsewhere suicide squads who will actually fight it. But of course Ukraine hasn't had enough weapons yet and would actually like some sheep-dipped RAF crews in F16s to get shot down by the Russian integrated air defence. This is a made for TV genocide and in future we will all ask why was this mythical "Rules based order" worth all the loss of human life.
    4
  1297. "It's possible that if the Russians push the offensive that they will not succeed" That's hardly "Pushing Putin Back" or "Putin's summer offensive will not succeed" Times. We don't know if there will be a major Russian offensive but if there is one it's likely to be devastating to the Ukrainians who's defence lines are already buckling and breaking from the limited local offensives.

    4
  1316.  @mikedon5205  I don't think you are correct. The peace agreement which was nearly signed in April 2022 only demanded recognition for Crimea and autonomy for Donetsk and Luhansk. Also a commitment to military neutrality in the constitution. That was all that was needed to prevent all the bloodshed. But Bojo convinced Zelelensky that Ukraine could win, retake Crimea and then join the EU and NATO.

  1320. JD Vance is a great choice despite his previous polemic against Trump. He has admitted he was wrong after the incredibly successful Trump Presidency.
    4
  1321. A few problems with Hamish's baseless conspiracy theory. Most importantly Ukraine's offensive is a complete dud and has made no progress at all so the concept that Russia would blow it up to slow them is ridiculous. Blowing the dam has provided Ukraine with an advantage, now the water level has decreased it's easier for them to attack the ZNPP. In my view the very extensive state of the art fortifications are not supposed to stop Ukraine they are there in case NATO is involved. Ukraine hasn't made a dent in a month I believe NATO would also find them impregnable.

  1327. 1.5 square km is 1,500,000 square metres. So 1.22 x 1.22 km still not very much 🤣 And near Melitopol sounds like a load of nonsense Ukraine hasn't got to the first defensive line yet.

  1330. Russia will never allow Ukraine to join NATO and probably the EU is off the table too now. If the Ukrainians and warmongers in the West want to see sense they can preserve some of Ukraine, possibly with a Black Sea port. Otherwise Russia will take the lot, although that will be costly for them.

    4
  1335. The commentator seems to assumes that EU membership is worth having.

  1336. Correct: "According to SHOT, the Ukrainian DRG tried to penetrate the territory of Crimea near the village of Olenevka, moving towards Cape Tarkhankut. At two o'clock in the morning, four objects were discovered: one boat and three jet skis. A fight ensued. In total, about 13 saboteurs were killed. They were carrying M4 rifles and fragmentation grenades. There were no injuries or deaths on the part of the border service officers. Airplanes were involved in the destruction of the DRG."

  1346.  @jamesfitton140  I did a nice reply about Operation Dropshot but it seems to have been censored. They would have needed 300 Nagasaki size bombs as well as conventional forces. Klaus Fuch's help of the Russians meant that they became a nuclear power before 300 bombs were available.
    4
  1347. You are assuming Ukraine is getting stronger and Russia is getting weaker. It's the opposite. The Russian economy is doing well, and the army is growing. Could be 3 million men in 2 years.

  1353. Wagner was always an offshoot of the GRU. They performed the same deniable operations that PMCs like Blackwater perform for American intelligence. They operated in Ukraine alongside the Donbass militias but now Donbass is part of Russia they had to be disbanded - against Prighozin's wishes. That problem solved itself like the recent incident with Zaluzhny's aide in Ukraine. The former members are now mainly part of the Russian national guard and some have joined the Chechen militia.
    4
  1354. Zelensky's "Victory plan" is straight out of "Downfall". It relies on NATO becoming directly involved in the conflict which would be WW3. The end is near for a unitary Ukraine and there is no achievable victory.

  1361. Who is Joe Walsh
    4
  1362. That's the PR spin that the 77th Brigade finally came up with. It's not a pyrrhic victory because it was the Ukrainians who lost 10+ times the men defending Bakhmut. In which case, given that this is an attrition war, this was a RESOUNDING victory for the Russians.

  1365.  @eh1702  I think June 4 was the start so that would mean we are entering week 3. This offensive was supposed to be a combined arms Blitzkrieg. A dash to the coast in 4 or 5 days splitting the land bridge, aiming to take Melitopol and providing the basis for an offensive against Crimea later on. It's a good plan but it's failed. I've no idea what they hope to achieve now, just some kind of PR figleaf for the NATO conference in June I suppose.

  1367. @richiecooke69  I was just watching a video of Speznaz selection. Looked very much like SAS selection, perhaps a bit tougher. The Russian men entering the battlespace now are mainly volunteers with a year's training. On the Ukraine side is totally unmotivated conscripts with a few weeks training. But hey be content in your bubble.

  1368. @richiecooke69  Russia is now considered to have the most powerful army in the World. The USA has the most powerful navy but that's not much use in Ukraine.

  1381.  @boink800  What are you talking about? There is no breakthrough, there is a small salient in front of the first line south of Robotyne. That's it for 3 months, 40 thousand casualties and billions of dollars. The Ukes lied about the start of the offensive now lying about the end of it.
    4
  1382. The ATACMS allegedly to be supplied won't help take out the Kerch as it's cluster bombs. The F16s won't last long amid the Russian integrated air defence - even if they have sufficiently clean airstrips to operate from. As for the land bridge, considering Ukraine can only put together squad sized formations that's never going to be severed.

  1386.  @normanlazarus1836  You can call it a no-fly zone if you like. It wasn't an innocent aircraft, it was collecting intelligence which would probably be passed on to Ukraine. I think the Russians have shown remarkable restraint so far.

  1387. Ukraine is getting ground down, not Russia.
    4
  1388.  @elenabistiu  No evidence to support that, for 8 years Putin tried to come to a settlement through diplomacy. A settlement which would have left the Donbas part of Ukraine. The Ukes just used the time to build a 400,000 man army using foreign assistance.

  1389. @giuseppeanoardi3973  No evidence of NK ammo only supposition. The old tanks have been entirely adequate for the type of fighting so far. Especially when upgraded with modern fire control systems.

  1395. It's pretty clear that the West has been the agrressor arround the world, the USA being the most beligerant. They and their allies/vassals such as the UK are panicking after Ukraine because the Russians have beaten them. Fortunately the Russians have no intentions to invade Europe or the UK as we don't have anything they want. Talk of conscription is ridiculous fear mongering.

  1398. Ukraine has lost the war Maxim. The Russians have more men, air superiority and the best fortifications ever seen. Giving them more weapons will just lead to more pointless Ukrainian deaths. Russia has said that it will push Ukraine back such that their territory is safe from attack. Giving them longer range weapons will just mean more of Ukraine conquered by the Russians.

  1399. Why has Zelensky won every time up to now. Is it because he's Klaus Schwab's boy?

  1408. Larry is a bit confused about "nuclear" vs "atomic" bombs. These are synonymous because it's the nucleus of the atom which reacts. The two versions are fission or fusion. Most modern bombs are thermonuclear where a small primary fission bomb is used to initiate nuclear fusion in a secondary fusion bomb which often has fission component too. The effects of all bombs are the same heat, blast and radiation, but the proportions of those varies as does the explosive yield, from a hundred tons TNT all the way to 100 million tons of TNT for Tsar Bomb.

  1431. Putin has already dealt with Wagner. Most of the soldiers will simply be absorbed by the Russian military and something like 8000 are going to Belarus - possibly for an advance on Kiev.

  1433. Ever heard of "Iskander" missiles. A warehouse in Nikopol just received five of them. Any weapons production would get the same.

  1435. Are we really panicking about some drones? The UK is firing missiles at Russian soldiers. The only mystery is why haven't the Russians hit the UK yet. My guess is they will with the Oreshnik missile which is non nuclear but has a similar effect.

  1436. NATO not involved other than training the Ukrainian troops. Supplying their weapons. Providing targeting and other intelligence. Basically running and paying for the whole show. But apart from that nothing.

  1458. Wringing the last drop of PR out of this reckless invasion. There have been commentators suggesting this was planned by the UK. They also say it has been as successful as "Operation Market Garden", a military disaster immortalised by the film "A Bridge Too Far".

  1459. These are essentially terrorist attacks. Little military value, just propaganda. Meanwhile Russia has begun a broad front offensive in the North which will aim to recapture the territory which the the Ukrainians recovered in the Kharkiv offensive last year.

  1461. I'm sure that will really hurt his feelings 😢. The question is who will care? The rest of the World supports Russia and Putin. Nitpicking about Russian constitutional issues isn't going to change that it's just going to look pathetic.

    3
  1468. Can we instead compare the current protests with the ones in 2020 that Starmer and Rayner wholeheartedly supported. Even genuflecting to the rabble rousers. Those in 2020 were completely uncalled for, being about an incident in the USA and nothing to do with the UK whatsoever.
    3
  1469.  @Hathur  I've googled small sea mine, and it seems the Ukrainians have been laying those to deter Russian landing ships. However even those are 400 pounds so say 200 pounds of explosives. I'm pretty sure 90Kg of TNT would make a bigger splash than that.

  1502. I disagree with Lord Danat's hypothesis. Russia hasn't lost anywhere near as many troops as Ukraine. The reported casualty figures coming from the Ukrainians are implausible. Given Russia's massive superiority in firepower it's likely the Ukrainians have had 8-10 times the Russian casualties. The Russians have given up territory to preserve their manpower and Ukraine has done the exact opposite. Without Western aid the war would have been over last July. But now even that has been exhausted so I can't see how the Russians could possibly lose.

  1506.  @foilhat1138  The Ukrainians are running out of manpower. The new recruits get only minimal training and are not at all motivated to fight. This is the scenario for a military collapse. On top of that Zelensky and the parliament are both illegitimate and hated, which is the scenario for a political collapse. The USA has no appetite to fight Russia in Ukraine and the bellicose Europeans couldn't without American backing. So I'll stick with my assessment.

  1516. "Logistics Nightmare"? Ukraine is right next door it couldn't be easier 🤣 If the USA or UK wanted to intervene directly - now that would be a logistics nightmare. There is a big problem now trying to do big offensives and that's the ubiquitous surveillance . All sides have to be careful to move troops and supplies in small quantities because otherwise they get destroyed well behind the front lines. That would be exactly the same for NATO.

  1517.  LeonDegrelle.z  Vance seems quite reasonable to me. I expect his debating style will improve with experience. It's hilarious how the Dems are reprising the "Trump is running away from the debate" narrative in regards to Kamala. She's a terrible debater, the 2020 primaries proved that.

  1518. Sean inverting reality again. The "Meat grinder" plan was hatched between Prigozhin (Wagner head) and Surovikin (former head of Russian forces in Ukraine). This has been well known (to people who seek real news) for six months now. The concept was to lure as many Ukrainian forces as possible to be killed and wounded defending Bakhmut by the use of overwhelming artillery. The Western propaganda people have decided to invert that and have enlisted gossipy Sean (he would be great on loose women) to lie to the public about it.

    3
  1552.  @Jack-e5t  Perhaps you didn't understand I was being sarcastic, the sanctions have been ineffective because Russia is too big and powerful with partners who can find lots of ways round the sanctions. This means the sanctions have hurt the West, particularly Germany, and not Russia.

  1559. Ukraine lost in 2022, since then they have only been kept afloat with foreign money and weapons. So it's more of a case of does the USA want to continue throwing good money after bad?

  1562. When "Ukraine" fires US, UK or French missiles this requires foreign specialists to target and prepare them. So it's not Ukraine firing those missiles it's the US, UK or France. And Russia has said it will retaliate against us. Macron doesn't care, he has a bunker - we don't.

  1567. Russia has a plan for a "new European security framework" which would see NATO forces withdrawn to the 1991 posture. Back to Germany in effect. Currently NATO is building bases in those bordering countries, I can't see that being acceptable to the Russians.

  1569. What happened to all the Ukrainian tanks? The Russian MOD claim 7460 tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles have been destroyed. So shall we say 3500 tanks blown up so far. The UK "may" send up to 10.
    3
  1570. Is shoving Russia back to Feb 23rd position good enough or should we push them out of the country altogether? A tricky question but luckily not one we need to think too hard about because neither scenario is remotely likely. Russia is going to finish off the rest of the Ukrainian army and probably take Odessa, Kharkiv, Dnipro, and Kiev.

  1576.  @skepticalbadger  Real reports, not just flimflam from the Ukrainians.
    3
  1577.  @ospehu1  It's an attrition war. Ukraine, even with as much western aid as can be supplied, can't eject the Russians. The Russian military is far stronger than in 2022 not weaker as Lloyd Austin hoped they would be. They are making steady progress through one of the most highly fortified areas in the World and those advances are gaining in speed as the Ukrainian manpower dwindles despite brutal mobilization tactics.

  1585. Russia seems to have extremely effective electronic warfare capabilities. Another reason NATO would be in serious trouble in a fight with Russia.
    3
  1586.  @jeshkam  Vastly greater military industrial output is the main one. NATO has been largely depleted of 155mm shells fighting a special military operation by proxy. The only potential advantage NATO would have in Ukraine is American air power but that would be quickly defeated by Russia's far superior integrated air defence.
    3
  1587.  @albertohusay3002  So a tank, rather than a Schrödinger's tank, can only be in one place at a time. So what we should assume is that the T-14s are in or near the area of the SMO. I don't think any have been hunted yet. Similar logic for T-90s and the modernised T-72S etc. So perhaps it looks better just to have the single traditional T-34 rather than surrounding it with a load of unmodernised T-XX.

  1592. It's my favourite chirpy propagandist Sean. He has a wonderful imagination but a poorer grasp of the facts. For example "Russia has lost 2/3 of their main battle tanks". No they haven't Sean 😏 They have literally thousands and are building 1500 a year more in massive factories. As far as this Ukrainian PR, ahem I mean counter, offensive goes, without ammo it's not going to do much is it?
    3
  1593. Setting NATO membership as a postwar condition will ensure there is no Ukraine at the end of the war. Or at the very least there is no Zelelensky et al. and Russian occupation of Western Ukraine for many years.
    3
  1594. TR - gaslighting AND censorship.

  1595.  @boink800  Nope, evidence does not support that claim. Ukraine has constantly cried wolf and I think they are again. Even Sean said it could be air defence.
    3
  1596. All should be pardoned as they are all political prisoners subjected to unfair and unequal justice.
    3
  1597. Russia has been minimizing it's casualties whilst Ukraine has been doing the opposite. They have thrown untrained conscripts into the fire at at rate of well over 1000 a day. This is why they have run out of troops having sacrificed their older men, probably in a cynical demographic engineering scheme. They are now forced to mobilize younger men (who are in short supply in Ukraine) and women out of necessity. The ISW acts as an information warfare operation and has lied consistently throughout this conflict in my personal opinion.

    3
  1611.  @ericspace8816  Not really started yet - bit of a push near Kupyansk. They don't really need to as long as the Ukrainians are doing that in the south if this is a war of attrition. The Uke offensive was supposed to be a Blitzkrieg to the Sea of Asov. When that failed in June, instead of lying and saying they were just probing they should have called it off and gone on the defensive. Perhaps reevaluate what equipment and tactics were inadequate, give their troops some real training. They didn't do that and as a result I would say they are FUBAR.

  1621. 200 tanks but only 40 actually running.

  1622. NATO would not win a conventional war against Russia in Ukraine. For a start Turkey wouldn't turn up to fight. Russia is completely prepared for a conflict and, as demonstrated by the defeat of Ukraine's summer offensive, their defensive tactics are second to none. Lord West should concentrate on the UK's military readiness. Two of our last Trident missile tests have failed to launch. Our incredibly costly aircraft carriers have difficulty leaving port and seem to catch fire. Other navy ships crash into each other. Our tanks don't work, most are broken and the ones we sent to Ukraine have easily been defeated even if they avoided sinking in the mud. We have sent Ukraine a huge amount of our military stocks to Ukraine and in any case our army personnel would probably last a couple of weeks at most.

  1623. This is the latest "grand strategy" from the Biden dream team of galaxy brains Blinken, Sullivan, Austin, Yelland etc. They are going to try to bully China with sanctions into telling naughty Pootypoot to stand down. It's going to backfire even worse than the Russian sanctions did.

  1631. This is the age of the behavioural psychologist. The film "Wag the dog" predicted this conflict perfectly. The public bombarded daily with messaging to act on the emotional part of our psyche to prevent us making rational choices. Realistically Ukraine is of no importance whatsoever to the British public. What is important are the sanctions which have made our energy prices skyrocket (which leads to inflation of everything else) and the risk of British citizens becoming involved via conventional or nuclear war with Russia. All the supposed reporting by the corporate media is intended to prevent the public from coming to that rational conclusion.

  1636. This NK troops story is pretty ridiculous. Russia has about a million troops in the area of the SMO because they have been extremely careful to preserve their men and have built up their manpower mainly through volunteers. The Ukrainians are the exact opposite, they grab poor slobs off the street and send them to the front with virtually no training. There they are pummelled with glide bombs shells and drones and that's if they even make it to the front before being hit by a missile. This is why Ukraine loses an order of magnitude more than Russia.

  1642. There is very nearly zero chance that Russia will be removed from Ukraine. For a start 5 regions are now part of Russia as far as the Russian constitution is concerned. I doubt Russia will be swayed by a few F16s. Instead, like all the other supposedly superior systems, when they are shot out of the sky with ease it will just make NATO seem weaker and Russia stronger. As the Telegraph put it the ill conceived Ukraine project to destroy Russia is becoming NATO's Suez crisis.

  1643. Ukraine needs to sue for peace. It's possible that one of the Patriot battaries has already been destroyed in Kiev. If Russia decided to really escalate as important people there are urging Ukraine would cease to exist very quickly. And perhaps, if the lunatics in the West get their way, us all shortly after.

(Remember there has been a civil war in Ukraine since the US/EU/Soros coup of 2014). So they were not technically part of Ukraine when Russia crossed the border. In fact it could be argued that Russia was trying to preserve their territorial integrity from a rogue Kiev regime.

I believe it will provide the catalyst for some kind of coup.

  1812. Good luck finding British pilots willing to fly into the Russian integrated air defence system - it would be a suicide mission. There is a reason why Ukraine has virtually no planes or pilots left. And in any case they wouldn't have any air bases to fly from after a couple of weeks of a Russian missile campaign. Tobias is totally delusional.

But during their escape from Moscow the Russians collected a lot of electronic intelligence as they followed them by drone.

  1821. @ The Donbas wanted to join Russia since the coup in 2014. For what it's worth I think the referendums were conducted fairly. I very much doubt Zelensky would win a fair election, so that's why he prefers to rule by fiat. i.e. as a dictator.

  1823. Why any of these British grandees would think President Trump could care less about their opinions of his policies is beyond me. If we sent all troops we could muster to Ukraine, they would all be casualties in a couple of weeks max. The UK is irrelevant so our dear leaders should remain quiet while the adults in Washington and Moscow sort things out for us.

  1837. Crimea is nearly cut off riiiiight. You are starting to sound delusional Chip. The trench line outside of Verbove is the first Suroviken line and they are not through that yet. It's the weakest line of the set and meant to be breached. The second line is outside Tokmak and that is 17 miles away as the crow flies not 5 - have a look at the map rather than just reading your script. If they ever get there the Russian reserves will attack on the flanks and very likely encircle them. Then there's another line surrounding Tokmak itself. And a third Suroviken line before Melitopol. There is NO CHANCE Ukraine will get there by Christmas 2123.🤣 And there is an extremely realistic probability that the DIA report consists entirely of Dingos Kidneys and Hopium.

  1838. Realism has returned in the USA now the adults back in the Whitehouse.

    3
  1846. Lavrov has been Interviewed by Newsweek. The Russians are prepared to make a deal with Ukraine with the following conditions: 1. That Ukraine will resume it's previous neutral status - absolutely no NATO membership. 2. That Ukraine recognises that Crimea and the new regions are now Russian and will never return to UKraine. 3. That Ukraine treats ethnic Russians properly and doesn't persecute them. 4. That all sanctions on Russia are rescinded. I still think it's a great deal for Ukraine, UK and Europe but the Neocons don't seem to care about any of those.
    3
  1847. The reporter is framing the summit as Russia desperate to break sanctions which is a superficial and ignorant take on a momentous occasion. Putin spoke about inevitable dedollarisation. In other words, the World decoupling from the dollar. This is a disaster for the USA, it's reserve currency status is the only thing keeping it afloat. And any talk of Russia being isolated is an arrogant refusal to face facts.
    3
  1848. Sounds like a CYA. operation by the Slovaks.
    3
  1849. There was a peace deal in April 2022 Trevor. The war had effectively come to an end, Russia withdrew it's troops from Kiev as a goodwill gesture. Then Bojo visited Kiev, told Zelensky something (apparently that there would be no Western security guarantees) and Zelensky started up the war again. Is that too hard to understand?
    3
  1850. Colonel Macgregor has been saying this would happen for three years.
    3
  1851. Fiona Hill is one of George Soros' most important operatives. She was in the Trump administration and tried to get him impeached on an entirely bogus pretext alongside other Ukraine fans like Alex Vindman. Project Ukraine is entirely about regime change and the balkanisation of Russia.
    3
  1852. President Trump delivering on all his election promises while Keir Starmer has broken all of his.
    3
  1853. Bit of a reality check. America First are sick of Ukraine and can't stand Zelensky. Reform voters generally have a similar attitude. Only whiny remainers and rejoiners with blue and yellow flags in the bio, like Piers Morgan and TR are still spellbound by the Churchill 2.0 of that beacon of democracy Ukraine. If you are so bothered please join up with Starmer's Barmy Army we will see you off at Dover.

  1862. We've reached the "World war two bomber found on the moon has disappeared!" phase of this stupid story.
    3
  1863.  @dpelpal  He's talking about Ukraine falling back to the Dnipro. This is the American plan to divide Ukraine like Korea. Not going to work because Russia will take Odessa and has plans for a large flotilla on the Dnipro.

  1864. I must admit that Times has excelled themselves with that one. And RFK will be replacing Rachel Levine who is the very picture of health and fitness.

  1865. How many battalions does the EU have?
    3
  1866.  @thegoat11111  That's the European militaries not the EU, they don't have any. So how many countries are going to participate knowing that the USA has no intention of joining them? We can probably send 20,000 at a push.

    3
  1870. Typically arrogant and ill informed commentary. Trump is far cleverer than you credit him and far cleverer than you. So is Putin and Xi. Biden however is on your intellectual level and that's why the USA and the rest of the World is in such a mess and on the brink of nuclear annihilation. Trump will stop the war in one day by threatening to cut off all aid to Ukraine.
    3
  1871. ​ @tonyfraser1749  The kneeling thing was pathetic. The public seems to be waking up in regards to these psy-ops. Labour has the same issue as the Democrats in the USA, a lot of their membership is very sceptical of Labour's Israel policy.

  1872. Putin applied for NATO membership and was refused.

  1873. His bowels aren't controlled.

  1884. How exactly do the Ukrainians have the Russians "on their heels". They had a counteroffensive which totally failed and now the Russians are advancing along the whole front line.
    3
  1885.  @JoaoSoares-rs6ec  Russia intervened on behalf of newly independent Lugansk and Donetsk peoples republics. This was entirely lawful after the precedent of Kosovo. Putin was charged with kidnapping children on the say so of a "Mockingbird" journalist who claimed that rescuing kids was kidnapping them.😵‍💫 The Isrealis have shown no regard for the civilian population of Palestine because they clearly want them gone. People have suggested that's the real reason for the emergency pier.

  1886.  @1seafisher  The Russians have gone out of their way to avoid "collateral damage" that's why civilian casualties have been so low in Ukraine.

    3
  1892.  @velvetmagnetta3074  Artyomovsk, formally Bakhmut. The buildings are smashed up but they can be rebuilt. It's an important transport hub to own and had to be taken at some stage. Main victory is probably the attrition of Ukraine forces. Along with all the ammo dumps being blown up, this will severely impede any Ukrainian offensive.

  1893.  @timothykatende8484  I understand and it makes me mad as hell to be lied to by these people. Covid was bad enough but this could lead to all out nuclear war.

  1894. The main fear in the UK is they will all come back in pieces. Not really a fear actually because it's a certainty.

  1896. I see the BBC as a bunch of liars and sex offenders .

  1897.  @tonupharry  The Ukes never had a chance against the Russians. Their NATO trained army was obliterated last year. They needed time to press-gang more bodies to be sent out of country to be trained in various NATO countries. This training was cursory and nothing like the mobilized Russian reserves have received. When I see the videos of the local soldiers lining up to salute them as they depart on busses after a few weeks of very basic training. "For those about to die we salute you". The war was over last year but the western sponsored genocide has continued.

  1900. Ukraine is not an America First priority, the top priorities are economic growth and reducing the government deficit and eventually debt. That is the "realpolitik" of the situation. To that end it appears that the USA and Russia in the persons of Rubio and Lavrov are in talks about normalising diplomatic relations and removing growth crushing economic sanctions.
    3
  1901. Vance has the right idea for America. He says the Ukraine war is being sold with an updated version of the "domino effect", which is the discredited narrative to explain the Vietnam war. It's a grift.

  1912. Russia has been very careful to not wage an aggressive war, in exactly the same way that NATO didn't in Serbia. The legal justification is exactly the same no matter how much the propagandists scream otherwise. We all know everything is legal when the USA does it but they have also set a precedent in international law that Russia can now exploit.

  1919. Hamish has been wrong about everything regarding this conflict. Remember him saying that the Challenger 2s would slice through the Russian defence lines with ease, when they have been an abject failure. The same as the Javelins, Storm Shadow and the latest pile of nonsense air defence in a shipping container. He's wrong, the conflict isn't illegal. Russia employed the exact same legal precedent as NATO did with Kosovo which was a nice troll to boot. They have just broken through in Bilhorivka which was another highly fortified area and nothing can stop them if they want to take the whole country at this point.

  1930. Where are all these shells to be manufactured? Which factories have the capacity to produce them in the quantities required? Where does all the steel required come from? These facilities don't exist and won't for many years or indeed at all if we stick to the deindustrialization of agenda 2030, Net Zero etc.

  1934. Kursk is no leverage whatsoever. It's a PR stunt that has actually helped the Russians by diverting Ukraine's best men and machines away from the Donbas. Had they succeeded in taking the Kursk NPP and associated nuclear sites it may have been leverage, as it is it's an abject military failure that they hope will finally collapse on Trump's watch.

  1939. ​ @TimboTbagz  The accelerating debt, unsustainable spending and Communist "Green" policies are three fair reasons. The debt is only possible because of the Dollar reserve status, which is in the process of being undone. Add in uncontrolled migration and the future is not looking good at all.

  1941. Blimey, the Times must really love Prighozin. They are going through the 5 stages of grief. 1. Denial - perhaps he was on the other plane. 2. Anger - he was supposed to bring down Putin 😠 I think we are on 3. bargaining - ok he's dead but we might be able to keep using him if we pretend that he's still relevant somehow. Let it go Times, you need to move on🤗

  1942. Don't you think that Trump might actually know what he's talking about. He knew Kamala was going to be anointed a few days after the debate. He probably has moles in the Whitehouse.

  1943. Bakhmut Bob.
    3
  1944. Putin has seen off 3 prime ministers during the course of the conflict despite folks like Robert here confidently predicting his imminent demise the whole time. Russia is in a far better position now than 2022 and the UK and Ukraine in a far worse position.

  1952. Crimea isn't an occupied area, it's Russia. So are the newly admitted oblasts. They contain ethnic Russians who overwhelmingly prefer being part of Russia. So this guy is spouting dangerous nonsense. A better question is "why would the USA risk Washington and New York to retaliate for a nuke over Kiev or Warsaw?"

  1977.  @leftfootforward1040  The Russians have built up forces of around a million men now. There's a theory that the rationing of diesel which has been announced is so they can build up reserves for their armour. I think at some point soon we will see a combined arms offensive across the whole front. The main objectives being Kharkiv and Odessa.

  1978.  @leftfootforward1040  Believe what you like bud. Russia has a population of 150 million that's less than one percent. Ukraine probably has more dead and wounded than that by now out of a current population of less than 30 million.

Putin prefers a soft approach, which minimizes Russian losses and collateral damage but others would just like to go full bore and level Kiev.

  2010. Michael seems to be hypothesising about what the Ukrainians "could" do. They have been trying all the actions that he's describing for two month and have got precisely nowhere. They have lost a massive number of men and machines in the process though. 30% of the Western armour has gone, 30000 men, trained in the UK and elsewhere have also been lost and they haven't even reached the first real Russian defensive line. Michael's musings are too remote from reality to be described as pipe dreams, they are more like the delusional ramblings of a madman.

  2023. Dmitry Medvedev has commented on the 12th round of sanctions: "The twelfth package of sanctions against Russia has come into effect. Meanwhile, the European economy is steadily tumbling into recession. In Germany, GDP is minus 0,2 percent in annual terms in the second quarter, and minus 0,3 percent in the third. In France, it’s plus 0,5 percent in the second quarter, but minus 0,1 percent in the third. This dismal shrinking can last well into mid-2024. By contrast, Russia’s GDP added 5,5 percent in annual terms in the third quarter, and 7,8 percent in the second. It’s just the right time to think of yet another package of sanctions against our country. EU, thank you for the growth!"

  2025. Commodore Steve Jermy (UK) was talking to Colonel Daniel Davies (USA) today and he's clear that nothing should be read into the speed of advance, as the main focus currently is destroying the Ukrainian ability to fight. They are doing that, which is gradually picking apart the Ukrainian fortified defence which has existed from 2014. This is just about done so they may move to manoeuvre war soon.

  2044.  @tonupharry  Russia is not bothered about a Ukrainian peace plan. They want a new European security framework which pushes NATO forces back to their 1992 posture. In the meantime they will never allow Ukraine or Georgia to join NATO. Ukraine cannot possibly retake what has already been lost to Russia. The Russians through Medvedev have stated clearly that they will escalate all the way to prevent that. Given it's a lost cause it's in Ukraine's interest to surrender.

  2053. Sean describes Russia as a "Global Superpower". He then explains that the current offensive, which was hyped constantly as a walkover for Ukraine due to supposedly far superior western tanks etc., is "extremely difficult" due to no air power. This is exactly what commentators like Macgregor and Ritter were saying before it started. So all those other western weapons have been failures but F-16s will be the ones which turn the tide. I don't believe that and stick to my assessment that even NATO direct involvement would not work at this point and just make Nuclear war a likely outcome.

    3
  2063.  @Sly_fox379  Tried what? Last Winter was fairly quiet apart from the air campaign and that worked pretty well at degrading the electrical system and air defences. This Winter is probably going to be a lot more active because the Russians have a lot more troops and equipment and the weather seems like it will be much colder - meaning the ground will freeze properly.
    3
  2064.  @andrew30m  Sure, but the Patriot is quite cumbersome to move. It seems to be a load of junk to be honest. The German Iris-T and Gepard appear to be more mobile and quite effective but none of them seem to be as usable as the S-XXX systems. Ukraine had a very good air defence system but its been destroyed and replaced by obsolete Western gear. These new Gerans are reported to be made of radar absorbent carbon fibre so they are harder to spot.

  2065.    They don't seem to be able to stop the Fab 500s hitting the front lines, also now RBK 500 cluster bombs and larger unitary bombs Fab 1500/3000. Granted they have some air defence in Kiev defending the government but nothing like they started off with. As with the 155mm shells we won't be able to maintain the supplies of missiles at the rate they are being used. A few weeks and they will be all gone.
    3
  2066. Anyone who says that Russia is losing needs the cognitive test that Biden keeps avoiding. Avdiivka, the final heavily fortified town in Donbas is almost captured. The Ukrainian military substantially depleated, so are Western arms stockpiles. This is Russia winning and Ukraine almost finished.

  2067. We have known about the Ukraine press gang for nearly two years but Times has put out the propaganda about the brave Ukrainians lining up to fight for their country.

  2080. NATO is actually getting weaker. The combined arms stockpiles are being burnt up at a rapid rate in Ukraine. This being mostly ineffective too, only prolonging the suffering of the poor Ukrainian people. Adding Sweden and Finland might look good at first but actually they will take far more of NATOs resources to protect now than they add in military capability. Turkey Hungary and Slovakia all look like potential deserters at some point. This all due to the stupid decision to try to beat Russia on the battlefield in Ukraine.

  2083. NATO hasn't been particularly "resilient" Jonathan it's been unexpectedly "belligerent". This has actually demonstrated how unresilient NATO is to an industrial war of attrition. NATO is losing this proxy war because it can't keep up with Russian arms production and hasn't the will to take the level of casualties that Ukraine has suffered.

  2091. It's clear that the West attempted a colour revolution in Belorus. Even went to the extent of creating a "government in exile". Also Khazakstan. I believe these were supposed to shape the battlefield for a scheduled Ukraine war. Russia would have been in a far worse position with a hostile NATO Belorus and Kazakhstan - essentially surrounded on all sides. Putin stepped in and nipped them in the bud which has meant that the Ukrainian war was a particularly bad move by the West. But they provoked it anyway as it was the precursor to the big one against China.

  2092. "Protecting democracy" even though Ukraine was never much of a democracy given it's history of violent coups and now is none at all. It's currently a totalitarian death camp getting ready to round up anyone they can to be slaughtered in a pointless war which they can't win.

During the task, every time our pilot goes from 5 to 9 aircraft of different types" ⚡️The strike range of the Russian Su-35 is 200 km, while the Ukrainian MiG-29 strikes at 25-30 km. 1 aircraft of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is simultaneously attacked by 5-9 Russian during assignments."

  2113. Labour are doing a fantastic job of alienating the British public. Reform 2029 - probably a lot sooner 😏

  2114. Why is Zelensky such a chicken? In WW2 the UK soldiers were fighting in far flung places. Apart from the poor souls that were sent on a one way trip to Kursk all Ukraine's military are still in Ukraine.
    2
  2115.  @Andronichuk  Those areas managed to have Referendums to join Russia. And they voted in the Russian general election. Just seems a bit funny that we are "Preserving Democracy" but it's the other side that seems to take Democracy more seriously.

  2116. Never mind Putin. Erdogan of NATO member Turkey say Hamas are freedom fighters. The USA and UK are outliers not Russia.

  2119.  @JonSmith-wg8mr  They will, Ukraine is now mobilizing teenagers and pensioners.
    2
  2120.  @JonSmith-wg8mr  That's mostly incorrect. I believe Russia has conscription for 12 months national service which includes 18 and 19 year olds, no pensioners. But they are not using any of these for the SMO although some were caught up in the fighting in Kursk initially. While the Ukrainians are rounding these people up for almost immediate deployment to the front with very little chance of survival.
    2
  2121. 29 piddling armies (I've deducted Turkey as well as the USA) is still a piddling army.
    2
  2122. This psyop is getting very tiresome. The Russian ship is in international waters not "UK waters". The MOD are like the Karens who come out and berate people parking on the road outside their house. Send the sub to topededo the invaders on the south coast who are actually illegally entering our territorial waters.
    2
  2123. Hopefully training on how to use the ejector seat because the Russians are going to be downing the F16s as rapidly as they are Mig29s.
    2
  2124. Short of supplying nuclear weapons the Ukrainians got everything. The fact is it wasn't enough, because there were things they couldn't be gifted ie. people. They don't have the people to operate the advanced weaponry and they don't have the people to maintain it. Cormac is another one pushing the lie that Russia will attack NATO, they won't because we have nothing they need or want. If we attack them or operate the F16 from NATO bases that will be a different story.
    2
  2125. So some random American working for NATO says he doesn't believe Russia will use nuclear weapons, despite all the warnings from them and all the provocations by NATO. Doesn't really put my mind at rest to be honest.
    2
  2126. Time to pull the plug on this farce before NATO gets sucked in and we all get nuked.
    2
  2127. Ben Hodges hasn't been right about anything in this conflict. No wonder the USA never wins a war.

  2129.  @foilhat1138  Russia will occupy much more territory by the end of 2025.
    2
  2130. According to Borrel, Ukraine can only survive a couple of weeks without western aid. So Trump is going to tell Zelensky that the gravy train has ended. Then use the removal of sanctions and other inducements to get the best deal with Putin. Browder sees his hopes of recommencing his plunder of Russia disappearing.
    2
  2131. How the USA can accuse anyone of sham elections is beyond me. It's becoming a sham country.
    2
  2132.  @boink800  The Ukrainian people don't get a say in it because Zelensky won't hold elections or a referendum. I'm very sure the Ukrainian people would rather the war ended as soon as possible if they were consulted about it. Even if it meant losing the majority Russian population regions to Russia. They still have a Black Sea port at the moment.
    2
  2133. Never believe anything until it's been officially denied by Times Radio. How can the lady academic have any evidence to say it definitely wasn't Ukraine?
    2
  2134. ​ @karsten11553 She said "Let me be perfectly clear, there is no connection to Ukraine". Let me be clear, she is in no position to declare that.
    2
  2135.  @karsten11553  One can say "We haven't seen any evidence to support the theory that Ukraine was involved". That's not the same as "They definitely didn't do it, I've got a warology Ph.D. so trust me bro"

  2137. Makes far more sense than the idiots from Britain who signed up for Ukraine's "foreign legion"
    2
  2138.  @Steven-vo4ee  Nobody can understand how that was a crime. Even the jury couldn't make their mind up how that was a crime especially a felony. But the Judge allowed every scope for them to find Trump guilty (note not a conviction yet). The Dems got all the political capital out of it (though it actually helped President Trump in the election 🤣 ) but it has no chance of being upheld on appeal.

  2143. Do you remember when France sunk Greenpeace's "Rainbow Warrior"?
    2
  2144. Still precisely zero real evidence that there is a single North Korean soldier involved in the SMO. Probably the dumbest propaganda narrative of 2024.
    2
  2145. @MartinLundström-l4v  I'm sure you are. Have you seen any actual evidence? The media just says it over and over treating the public like ignoramuses.

  2146. @bobohare4825  There should be real evidence by now. Bodies or captured NK soldiers confirmed by NK government etc. The say so of CIA proxies is not credible at all.

  2151. The permanent political class "deep state" fear Trump. They have persecuted him in many ways and he is going to have his revenge on them. His real supporters are fully on board with that. P.S. RINO lady, Jan 6 was a false flag operation. The "pipe bomb" footage absolutely proves that.
    2
  2152.  @Tan92lfc  If Ukraine allowed opposition parties and elections he wouldn't have that to bother about.
    2
  2153.  @raevj  I was being sarcastic. No invite to the G20. Apparently no speeches to congress when he visits the USA. I think his stardom has faded along with the offensive.

  2158. ​ @bryandimery6509  Zelensky won't hold elections because he would lose. He's trying to neuter his main political opponent Zalhuzny by sending him to the UK as Ambassador.
    2
  2159. The Russians have very good intelligence and ISR. So most likely it was a military target, Ukrainians use civilian infrastructure to hide weapons for example. Or it was another Ukrainian friendly fire incident. The Russians are a lot more careful to avoid "collateral damage" in Ukraine than Israel, Ukraine or the USA.
    2
  2160. They don't want the whole of Ukraine, they will only take it all if they are forced to.
    2
  2161. "Sky News analyses videos of Putin" 🙄 Apparently analysis of satellite images of Ukraine indicate 400,000 more graves since the start of the conflict. I think that's a more salient analysis to make Sky.
    2
  2162.  @boink800  Just stating facts, Russia will be forced to take Kiev and probably Lvov too.

  2163. The Russians have men and machines to spare, the Ukrainians haven't. Tim knows it but the propaganda has been telling you differently.

  2164.  @James-kv6kb  I have a dealer called Vlado Green in Kiev. He gets the best stuff free from the USA and he reckons they even pay him to do other things as well.🤪

  2165. It shows the brazen hate of these extreme left protest groups - they cheered.
    2
  2166. Oh FFS, back to the Russia is running out of tanks again. They repair a great many of the ones said to be lost and have seriously ramped up production of new and modernised ones.
    2
  2167.  @nic.h  The point I'm making is that attrition rate is not credible. Just disabling a tank doesn't mean it was destroyed because Russia can recover and repair them. Especially now they are on the advance, they can recover and repair Ukrainian T-xx tanks too.
    2
  2168.  @nottgri  If they didn't have double standards they wouldn't have any standards at all.

  2169.  @darrencorrigan8505  Estimate is about 15% of Russian forces currently engaged in the fight. 85% in reserve for either a big arrow offensive or to defend from a direct NATO intervention.

  2171. We would be better off joining BRICS rather than the EUSSR.
    2
  2172.  @ireneoconnor4758  The EU is a Technocratic empire. The parliament has little real power that lies mainly with the Commission (Polit Bureau) and President (Chairman). BRICS is a trading bloc of independent states not an empire.

  2173.  @ABRAM_BEATS  They have swarmed us with the third World. Put us under house arrest for a year. And taken us to the brink of WW3. None of this was what we voted for in 2019. They don't deserve a single seat.

  2176.  @megalodon6108  President Trump, Robert Fico and Viktor Orban are the only Western leaders with morals. They care more about the people of Ukraine than the holy "rules based order".

  2177. "How not to be seen" sketch. "This Bradley is trying not to be seen in the shopping centre" - BOOM "This patriot missile system is hiding in a school playground" - BOOM "These western advisors are hiding in a 'civilian hotel'" - 3000 ton FAB KABOOM.

  2178.  @kd8199  You know they have been investigating Trump for about 8 years now and found nothing. They were spying on him under false pretexts too. That's called "preserving democracy" apparently 😎

  2179. The UK USA and Australia don't have hypersonic missiles. Russia has multiple generations of hypersonic missiles already in mass production and deployed. We are decades behind the Russians and their allies China and Iran in this area of military technology.

  2180.  @evaluateanalysis7974  I'm British and you are brainwashed 🤪
    2
  2181.  @alexv1190  You have a very simplistic view of politics Alex. The USA is going to walk away from Ukraine like they always do. Biden and regime are very heavily invested in it and need it to stay in one piece until after the 2024 election that's all.
    2
  2182. Reform voters couldn't give a fork what "Conservative (in name only) Home" have to say. The Tories and Labour are pretty much indistinguishable Lefty Woke Globalist fossils.
    2
  2183.  @walter3433  I have, not recently though. Why we are so involved in poking the bear while the UK rapidly declines is beyond me.
    2
  2184.  @foilhat1138  I don't think the Russians are bothered about the timescale. They are trying to minimize their losses while building a huge army. It all takes time. We'll see what happens over the winter when Avdiivka falls.
    2
  2185. Another day another nobody confidently stating the Pooty will be deposed. Not going to happen. Meanwhile western politicians are dropping like flies hit by the "Zelensky Curse"
    2
  2186.  @boink800  I hate liars. This is an entirely erzatz conflict if you just listen to the MSM.
    2
  2187.  @officialsnufkin  Why do you do it?
    2
  2188. Why are the Times getting you on to comment on anything. Who are you exactly Alya? And you don't seem to actually know anything.

  2189. The strong message is "The British political class are insane and couldn't care less about their own citizens".

  2190.  @larsrons7937  Scott Ritter says that without air and artillery suppression pushing through is impossible. We see it. They hit a mine then they have to abandon the vehicle before they get hit.
    2
  2191. If the UK and France send tripwire troops into Ukraine without a UN security council mandate they shouldn't have a USA "backstop".
    2
  2192. Plenty of cope from the expert here. The crisis is in Ukraine not Russia - as seen by the assassination of Zaluzhny's deputy.
    2
  2193. So Ukraine is the greatest cleanest democracy that the World has ever known but they are not good enough for the EU 🤔. Guy Verhofstwat is forever warmongering for Ukraine on X. Cant he do something about this sorry state of events 😡. I would love Ukraine to join the EU next week if possible.
    2
  2194. What do you expect the Russians to do to a hostile aircraft? They have already said that they consider French US and UK missile strikes into Russia to be acts of war. Macron and Starmer have both increased the tension with Russia with Ukraine security pacts and constant talk of no fly zones and "peacekeepers".
    2
  2195. Scraping the barrel with this Frankenstein effort.
    2
  2196.  @stevenretneraj1245  Thank you for your pointless comment. Would you like to make a salient comment now?
    2
  2197. ...It's also projection. Ukraine has already lost three armies and is hoping to build a fourth. They have virtually no experienced soldiers left. (A few less generals today too if the rumours about the Kinzhal missile strikes are true.)
    2
  2198. You are thinking about the Times editorial team.

  2199. Oh dear, not chemical weapon BS. Things must be bad in Ukraine if we are trying to push that again.

  2200. I wonder if any normies actually bother watching it. Or is it just Ukrainian trolls and fact checkers like us 🤣
    2
  2201. Here's a reason why Dem VP pick is so difficult: Imagine the embarrassment of being second fiddle to Kamala Harris 🤣. Never got a vote, never got a delegate, all her underlings hate her. So it's going to have to be a complete loser.

    2
  2204. Ukraine fanatics are hilarious. Totally insane zealots like this plank. 😂😂😂
    2
  2205. Luckily they won't need to because the narrative that Russia wants to invade Europe is absurd. What would they gain from doing that? Not prosperity or culture that's for sure. We are in debt, have deindustrialised and we allowed a mess of antagonistic cultures in. They think the liberal agenda is insane, they have two genders and if anyone wants to be unusual they can do it in private rather than on a pride march. In summary our greatest strength, like a skunk, is we stink.
    2
  2206.  @bartolomeonew  “Ukraine is behaving like a drowning person clinging to anything available,” Duda told Polish journalists, the Financial Times reported. “A drowning person is extremely dangerous, capable of pulling you down to the depths … simply drown the rescuer.” Ok, explain to me how I've interpreted that incorrectly.

  2210.  @AA-69  I've seen it. Col Macgregor is very amusing 😂
    2
  2211.  hydraV1-c7d  You are entirely correct. Ever since the fall of the Berlin wall the West has had a program to conquer Russia. They couldn't do it directly because the Western public would never support open war with Russia so they did it by sponsoring anti Russian sentiment in surrounding countries. For example the Baltics, Nordics, Romania ,Poland, Ukraine, Georgia and other former Soviet republics. These are the intended soldiers for the war against Russia. The West never wanted peace and have poked the bear for 30 years getting us to this unfortunate situation we find ourselves in now.

  2216.  @tonyb9735  We have that "Lord" Herman guy - who elected him?

  2217. No pilots, because the Russians send Iskanders and Zircons to their training institutions.
    2
  2218. It feels like either the last days of NATO (preferable) or the last days of everything (not preferable).
    2
  2219. So the ship didn't actually enter the UK's territorial waters it entered the UK exclusive economic zone. Typical gaslighting from the terrible Starmer government uncritically parotted by the supposedly free press.
    2
  2220. I would not want to be sat in these flying coffins. They will be number one targets for the Russians. Perhaps that's why the trainee pilots are having so much difficulty learning English.

  2225. Could NATO do anything short of nukes?
    2
  2226. Thats not Bakhmut. Might be some fields near Bakhmut. The Russians use thermite incendiaries not white phosphorus.
    2
  2227. This is the West's fault. By sanctioning Russia to the max there are no reasons to not trade with North Korea any more. The sanctions have been withstood and largely circumvented so nothing more to fear economically from the EU and USA.
    2
  2228. The aid is going to dry up because it's obvious Ukraine can't win.
    2
  2229. There is good media but mainstream media is lost.
    2
  2230. These experts have moved effortlessly from declaring the Russian armed forces were losing to now they are going to take over Europe. They don't want Europe we haven't got anything they could conceivably covet. The Globalists want to plunder Russia not the other way round. That's why there was a coup in Ukraine and why we have overreacted to the SMO. leading to hundreds of thousands of dead Ukrainians when a peace deal was within reach in March 2022.
    2
  2231. They have already had more than the annual Russian military budget and they are still losing.
    2
  2232. As we are not actually supposed to be a party to the conflict "defence alliance" NATO should not be in Ukraine.

  2239. The Russians are the cops.
    2
  2240. Up to the usual standard of vague hopium. Russia has ground the Ukrainian armed forces down over the two years. Forget about ammo, which the west can't replace, they have run out of manpower. The Russians hoped the initial show of force would get a negotiated settlement, which it did until Boris Johnson instructed them to fight. Which shows how much sovereignty they really have.
    2
  2241. Reducing government spending benefits Americans. Elon was at a great many of Trump's election rallies and everyone knew what he did at Twitter, getting rid of 90% of the workforce who were dead weight. They voted for it, hopefully Reform will adopt similar policies for when they win in 2029 or before.
    2
  2242. This is going to be fair and unbiased 🤣
    2
  2243. There is no evidence to support this. Russia is doing well economically and diplomatically. The Russian people are supportive of the war especially after the reckless and provocative Kursk incursion, which some people think was a British idea. Mark is just making it up because things are getting very bad in Ukraine.

    2
  2247. Delusional and pointless PR exercise. A complete farce really. Also Russia no longer recognises Zelensky as the legitimate President of Ukraine.
    2
  2248. The peace deal would be between the USA and Russia. Russia wants a new European security framework which would withdraw NATO forces back to their 1991 posture. Ukraine is just a part of that deal but their total defeat would be a motivating event. I think that's where we are heading.
    2
  2249.  @felipearbustopotd  Seems reasonable to me, the Russians were promised that back in 1991. One way it happens is if NATO falls apart because of a defeat in Ukraine.
    2
  2250.  @SpringIsBACK  That's been the plan all along. That's why Russia is "demilitarizing" Ukraine. The USA never did that in Iraq, that's how they lost.
    2
  2251. Look at the age of the poor slobs sat in the bunker waiting for a FAB-500. if Paul Hardcastle did a song about it it would be called Forty Five not Nineteen. Ukraine is on it's last legs they should sue for peace.

  2252.  @trevorsutherland5263  Russian air supremacy in the SMO area means that fixed defences are pointless.
    2
  2253. Malcolm is labouring under the misapprehension that Russia needs or even desires a ceasefire - they don't. They can keep going for years if they need to especially if the intention is to build Ukraine back up to be a threat to them while hostilities are paused. It's clear the minimum they will accept is a real peace settlement with all 5 regions in their entirety internationally recognised as Russia, Ukraine neutral and demilitarized to about the same size as the UK army. Without that Russia will just carry on until Europe runs out of money to waste or Ukraine runs out of men.
    2
  2254. Can't wait for Trump to sort out the censorship problems we have on social media.
    2
  2255. Who is this guy? Seems to be some unknown American academic. Whoever he is, he's delusional if he thinks Russia is going to lose. Edit: I've listened to the end he's still crowing about last years "offensive" 🤣

    2
  2267. Russia knows exactly what is happening over the whole of Ukraine. It has now mobilised extensive satellite reconnaissance assets which were missing last year. The latest being a synthetic appeture radar satellite which can see through clouds and potentially buildings too. The Russian drone fleet has also been massively expanded and whilst the Ukrainian drones are being easily disabled by electronic warfare the Russians can operate far more freely. This together with the destruction of the air defence means the situation in Ukraine is more like Iraq with the Russians having all the advantages.
    2
  2268. Ukraine has no chance to make a military impact on the battlefield.
    2
  2269. I don't think you have any kind of grasp on the power dynamic. The USA is the hegemon and the rest of the collective West are vassals.

  2275.  @AlexAnteroLammikko  The people there don't want to be part of Ukraine and there is no way it's going to be captured by force so it might be the time to forget about it while there are a few young men left in Ukraine.
    2
  2276. The Russians have said a large offensive is very likely for Autumn/Winter. They haven't told everyone what the objectives are like the Ukes did, which is probably a better idea. Meanwhile the Ukes have thrown everything at Robotyne with very little result and huge casualties.
    2
  2277. Forces aligned with Ukraine shot down a Russian plane carrying Ukrainian POWs using air defence missiles. Could have been French or American mercenaries operating the air defence system on orders from their respective countries.

  2279. This story keeps coming up when actual Ukraine news is terrible for Ukraine. No NATO cavalry coming to save Saint Volodymyr 😪? show a photogenic young lad apparently making improvised weapons out of toys 🤩. This is pitiful, Russia is massively outproducing NATO for all real weapons systems. They are also weaponizing FPV drones on a much larger scale.
    2
  2280. Total nonsense from the man who spent millions shooting down weather and hobby balloons. Biden is an embarrassment to the USA and the rest of the West.

  2281. Swamp creatures have the wrong type of experience.

  2282. The hatchet job will be to show it with no edits 😏 Harris is as intelligent and cogent as Biden.🤣
    2
  2283. Georgia isn't allowed the FARA law that the USA has because those exact foreign agents get their AntiFa footsoldiers to burn the place down.
    2
  2284. As we have a special relationship we can always negotiate a free trade deal with the USA. Of course that will mean getting rid of the vehemently anti Trump Starmer regime.
    2
  2285.  @georgepresley5120  They haven't begun their offensive yet. It's supposed that they are waiting for the Ukrainian one first although Kadyrov has said that it is starting so perhaps they believe the Ukrainian offensive has finished before it even started
    2
  2286. The Russians do not need a ceasefire more than the Ukrainians. The Russian army might have been beaten up far more than any American army could face but it's still far stronger than it was at the start of the conflict. In contrast the Ukrainians are at the point of collapse. It's so bad that Americans, safe in their heated homes like Breedlove, are demanding that 18 year olds are press ganged to be slaughtered on the front line.
    2
  2287. I didn't see Sergei Markov being destroyed. I only saw the hectoring Times anchorman being admonished for misinforming the public for 2 1/2 years. Times' behaviour would make USSR vintage Pravda blush. 😂
    2
  2288. The Russians have factored in the aid and are not phased by it whatsoever. They have stated that they will attempt to destroy it as soon as it enters Ukraine. Logistics is becoming more and more difficult for Ukraine as the Russians gain better and better ISR capabilities. Also the energy system and railways have become priority targets for Russian air strikes. The other glaring issue is Ukrainian manpower - or the lack of it. There are reports of entire Ukrainian brigades refusing to obey orders and mass surrenders are becoming more common. The best the USA can hope from the package is it extends the war past the election so it doesn't help the bad orange man standing against Biden. And when the collapse does come they can say "we did everything we could".
    2
  2289.  @alka7145  They only "interview" people with approved opinions. The interviewer often prompts for what they want to hear.
    2
  2290.  @alka7145  There are plenty of objective commentators out there. They chose not to platform them. I'd get Andrei Martyanov on to debate Clarkie. It would be very informative and also very entertaining.
    2
  2291.  @richardmeyeroff7397  The Russians still beat Finland apparently. Finland has joined NATO because the WEF installed that party girl as PM. She's now involved with Tony Blair's slush fund. It was a dumb move for Finland in my view.
    2
  2292.  @MrYossarianuk  How are all those nightclubs in Kiev managing to stay open? They are only disrupted by mobilization thugs not missiles. The Zelensky regime is a disgrace, extremely undemocratic and unpopular.
    2
  2293. Not bad considering they had no chance eh. So why did they walk away from the negotiations last April . It's because wannabe King of the World Bojo said they would win with Western support.
    2
  2294. It's quite plausible that the offensive in the Kharkiv area is a feint intended to draw troops from the rest of Ukraine and away from the real offensive. The best way to protect the Russian black sea fleet is for the Russians to capture Odessa. I think that's what the real offensive will be.
    2
  2295.  @dpelpal  Banks are all bankrupt due to fractional reserve banking. We should have let the banks go bust in 2008 but our governments are owned by the bankers so they were baled out at the taxpayers expense.
    2
  2296. The Donbass war started in 2014 not 2022. That's the inconvenient truth the propagandists in the West wish to obfuscate.
    2
  2297. Ukraine has already lost far more tanks that the European nations could send. Same for artillery pieces. All sending more will do is prolong the suffering for the Ukrainian people. The West just cant stand the idea that Russia is able act the way they do.
    2
  2298. Phil is equating Ukraine to Afghanistan - not the same at all. Russia considers Ukraine an existential issue, they will go to total war over Ukraine if necessary. They can certainly maintain the SMO far longer than the West can. Phil understands this but he's a professional propagandist and thinks TR viewers are ignorant.
    2
  2299. Times Radio and the rest of the mainstream media are the disinformation experts. But as it's disinformation that the government wants spreading that's fine. Latest disinformation is that it's all social media's fault. Convenient disinformation for the MSM as X has become a far more accurate source of information than the agenda driven media. And that's bad for business.
    2
  2300. The delusion and wilful ignorance of the UK political and media elite is a big problem. Whilst there have been war crimes on both sides the vast majority have been committed by the Ukrainians. Shelling a nuclear power station and trapping civilians in combat areas as shields are easy to see. Others have been documented by the Ukrainians themselves such as torturing and executing Russian POWs and apparently preparing chemical weapons.
    2
  2301. If Clarkie and Sean are both saying this then it must be legit.
    2
  2302. Listening to people who understand tanks far better than I do it seems these tanks (including Leopards) will be useless. Problems: Weight: Far too big and heavy for the Ukraine. terrain. Incompatibly: This is a hodge podge of incompatible systems. Limited air support: Not enough helicopters to work with them Maintenance: Not possible in theatre. Biggest problem totally inexperienced crews barely able to drive and fire. This is pure panic by Neocon politicians who just can't admit their decades long project is being dismantled before their eyes.

  2303. No she isn't. Listen to former stepping stone Judge Joe Brown's assessment of her. I thought he was talking about a gardening tool for weeding between the rows but apparently it means something else in the USA.

  2309.  @boink800  That's well established now even Stoltenberg admitted it. There are other factors but the most important was NATO expansion into Ukraine and Georgia.
    2
  2310. Enabling Ukrainians to be used as cannon fodder in an unwinnable war should be a war crime.
    2
  2311. Russia couldn't give a flying fork about the West's sanctions and lawfare. They have all been circumvented. Russia isn't isolated whatsoever in fact it's the Biden regime nobody can be bothered to deal with.
    2
  2312. No it won't. See Brian Berletic's channel for how ineffective and expensive it is, particularly the older variants likely to go to Ukraine. Probably get blown up in a couple of weeks. Hopefully no NATO troops hurt when that happens.
    2
  2313.  @nerdyali4154  Of course, facts be racist/Putin talking points. By all accounts Patriot is about the equivalent of S300 depending on how old they are. I doubt it will make any difference other than probably putting NATO operators in harms way. Well done for listing all the sane voices in one slur.

    2
  2322. Important political reportage from the Sun.
    2
  2323. The Russians will never allow "peacekeepers" from NATO counties to operate in Ukraine, all the Russian leadership has clearly stated that. Russia has won on the ground and also in NATO's stockpiles, so they get to dictate the terms of Ukraine's eventual surrender. Delaying that inevitable conclusion by continuing to supply weapons and money to Kiev (apparently 130 billion of which has been misplaced 🤷‍♂) is just increasing the humanitarian disaster caused by Biden, Blinken, Sullivan, Nuland, Johnson, Stoltenberg et al. They could never win and everybody sane understood that.

  2332. I believe everything the US intelligence services tell me. Let's forget about the 6 year Russia hoax that was an abberation. And of course Gulf of Tonkin, WMDs in Iraq etc. these were simple mistakes any multi billion panopticon could make. Yes they always tell their truth and we should believe them without question.

  2333. We are also WEF controlled now ☠
    2
  2334.  @boink800  I don't think anyone give a toss about the Budapest agreement. The West hoped Ukraine could land a knockout blow on Russia. They obviously can't so it's set to go the same way as South Vietnam and Afghanistan.

    2
  2338. Totally unbiased and objective then 😂.
    2
  2339. The point of giving Belarus nukes is the same reason Belgium has US nukes. It makes it harder to do a first strike against Russia and take out all the weapons. That's the US plan by the way - that's why they want Ukraine in NATO so they can plant nukes as close as possible to Moscow.
    2
  2340.  @donaldmackerer9032  What does the Times have to back up all it's ridiculous allegations about Putin? Have a look on the map and see how NATO has advanced towards Russia's borders over the last 30 years. Look at the countries destroyed by NATO because they opposed US hegemony or wanted to create a different reserve currency. There are nuclear capable launchers in Poland right now. Doesn't take much too swap a missile pod you know.

  2345. All the censorship on this topic shows how scared the establishment is.

  2346. There are two tiny problems with Zelensky's demand for 200,000 European troops. They don't exist and the Russians would never allow it. But apart from that great plan.

  2347. Ukraine has moved to the Julian calendar so it's 25th December this year. Zelensky (Happy Hanukkah to him) was very pleased with himself about that.

  2352. Everyone knows cluster bombs are very bad in fact there is convention banning them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_Cluster_Munitions The UK is a signatory so I expect Rishi Sunak and little Ben Wallace will be making their strong opposition known. No - just crickets? (Imagine my shock). These warmongers Neocons have no morals and no based principals.

  2361. I really can't wait for this conflict to be over and all the ridiculous and cringy propaganda to be gone. Perhaps Bud Light can reinvigorate their brand with this influencer next.
    2
  2362. Another strawman argument to "prove" that the Russians have failed. The objectives of the SMO were clearly stated as demilitarisation and denazification. There was nothing about taking Kiev or Kharkiv. These aims are being achieved as Ukraine's ability to make war is being destroyed after which the current regime will be removed. What exactly has the US taxpayer got for their hundreds of billions? Just an angry Russia firmly aligned with China and empty arsenals.
    2
  2363. Yet another baseless conspiracy theory by one of the Times' so called experts. Zelelensky and his cohorts are the ones living on borrowed time. The ease that Putin put down the Wagner putch shows how safe his position is.
    2
  2364. It's entirely true that Russia has been helped by sanctions, while Western companies have been badly damaged. They have lost hundreds of billions of dollars because of them. They have been a complete failure but the unimaginative Eurosharts can't think of anything else.

  2365. One problem with your analysis, the fiasco in Kursk is part of the victory plan. 😂

  2368. My prediction is that the F-16s (if they ever turn up) will be quickly shot down by Russia's integrated ground based air defence or the very long range air to air missiles they possess. I'd be surprised if any even get to see an SU-35.

  2374. She needs to join the Democrats.
    2
  2375.  @maccaberry1041  Quite a few abstentions too. And look at all the countries lining up to join BRICS. Russia has withstood the sanctions and the rest of the World takes that as a sign that the USA is losing it's power to bully economically. When Ukraine ie. NATO loses then the military also starts to look impotent. This is why people are going crazy about a pretty minor border dispute between two equally authoritarian countries.
    2
  2376.  @ingvarmayer8947  This is all just theatre for the soft heads. How many resolutions are there against Israel for example? ICC warrant also just another silly PR exercise. South Africa have given guarantees that it won't be enforced should Putin attend the BRICS summit there.
    2
  2377.  @laurentdupasquier7872  The assumption is that many outside of the collective West were coerced into voting the way the USA wanted. As USA power is seen to wane then I expect spines to stiffen.
    2
  2378.  @laurentdupasquier7872  I base my opinion on various people's reporting and analysis. It makes sense to me being British and seeing the way the Empire fell apart after WW2. I guess you are French so you will understand given the debacle with Vietnam and other places. Americans are the ones with cognitive bias due to their self ascribed exceptional status.

  2382. Macron said that French troops should enter the war. There is a massive NATO exercise on the border. So it's not a stretch for Russia to suspect that exercise to turn into the real thing. Putin is just pointing out how insane that would be as it risked Armageddon. He seems to be the sane voice here.

  2383.  @laurentdeteix3009  Ever heard of Presidential immunity?

  2384. ​ @patdohrety2940  Ok, so if it's intact it means it missed. Which is consistent with it being a poor substitute for all the S300s which have been destroyed..
    2
  2385. Hardly a threat. He said "don't they know they risk a conflict with nuclear weapons", in reference to the insane obsession the Neocons have for stiring up trouble in Ukraine. They escalated from sending helmets to fighter jets and even contemplating engaging troops. Ukraine isn't in NATO and it should never have been a possibility for them to join.

  2397. Oh dear, Saudi Arabia has transgressed the "International rules based order" now (very similar to Doug and Dinsdale Piranha's unwritten laws). This is how the US Empire collapses one "ally" at a time. At least the British tried to remain cordial with it's former vassals.

  2408. Last year he said the following none of which was remotely accurate. "UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace says that 97% of the Russian army is now estimated to be in Ukraine They are suffering "First World War levels of attrition", he tells the BBC, but rules out sending fighter jets to Ukrainian forces anytime soon Earlier Wallace dismissed reports he would resign if he did not get the extra defence budget he wants in next month's Budget"
    2
  2409. "Pop Con" looks like a populism con trick as the Tories panic that Reform is going to make them lose all their seats. Perhaps they should have thought of that 4 years ago when the public trusted them with a huge mandate. But instead they have persued every crazy Globalist policy: Shutting down the economy for Covid. Pandering to BLM. Hunger Games inspired Net Zero insanity. Barely leaving the EU. etc.

  2411.  @Wolfvain-qs5su  Thanks Chris, I like to think so.🤓

  2412. Trump is ditching Ukraine. Zelensky has made it a lot easier to do that by acting like a little beach. Starmer and the EU are going to be humiliated not the USA.
    2
  2413. Should be "Ending NATO's proxy war" Which is very easy - no US aid.
    2
  2414. So another excuse to seize foreign assets which gives another reason for dedollarisation. These kinds of policies just seem angry, irrational and counterproductive to me. They have massively accelerated the BRICS agenda. The BRICS are setting up a parallel financial system and cutting the West out. They have just created a sample banknote for their gold backed currency. Like every ill-conceived policy of the Washington and London Neocons, this is very likely to boomerang.

  2419.  @josephnye3088  Fair enough, I assumed France had some sort of PR. I thought it was like preference voting. It actually looks worse than FPTP because it allows this kind of manipulation. It's harder for us because we only have opinion polls to go on, not first round results. Time for real PR in France I think too.
    2
  2420. The air campaign is exactly what we have done in Serbia Iraq and other places. The Russians are targeting military and infrastructure. The Ukrainians put military assets in residential areas as human sheilding. They have done that consistently throughout the conflict.
    2
  2421.  @noksucowboy  That does seem to be the case. However people who just listen to the MSM don't realise it. I can't see any way that NATO wins this one given the logistical advantage Russia has. Ukraine had a slim chance with native weapons they could possibly maintain. How do they service all this junk being offered by the NATO members?
    2
  2422. "Times accused of being fake news" Accusations are not facts Times.

  2423. How exactly is deploying 20,000 troops a "show of power". Ukraine is losing 30,000+ per month.
    2
  2424. Tobias is losing it as badly as Ukraine. He had a ridiculous rant claiming that the UK is actually at war with Russia. But now he realises that the USA sending cluster bombs may be a legal and moral problem for UK warmongers like him. He sounds scared to me.

  2427. Russia is gradually wearing down the Ukrainian armed forces. They proved that Ukraine cannot eject them militarily as the counteroffensive, costing 125,000 Ukrainian casualties, got precisely nowhere. All Phil and the rest of the warmongering deep state want now is to prolong the Ukrainian suffering past the various western elections which are coming in 2024, most importantly the USA. So Ukrainians of both genders will be fighting and dying to support the election hopes of the worst president in history Joe Biden.

  2431.  @gavinknight8560  Cheers bud I feel warm and squidgy knowing that you care 🤗. I assume he was talking about the fake news talking head or have I got that wrong.
    2
  2432.  @bryandimery6509  These NAFO trolls are completely delusional.
    2
  2433. If you were Putin would you?
    2
  2434.  @a3muller52  There are polls which show this.
    2
  2435.  @Belshay  Seriously, quoting The Atlantic Council 😂. They have been wrong about everything (like the Times).
    2
  2436. An interview would have prevented the conspiracy theorists from claiming it was an AI generated video as some are on X. 🤔
    2
  2437.  @Sam88-l4k  Because it's in Russia's existential national interest that Ukraine doesn't join NATO. It's like saying "Why shouldn't Ireland enter a military alliance with Russia and have Russian missiles which can hit London in a couple of minutes, it's their choice"
    2
  2438. Zelensky will "exchange his Presidency" for Ukraine in NATO. That's not peace, it's World War Three 😑
    2
  2439. It's a war. Also not clear what kind of missile hit the building. Could be a deliberate act due to bad targeting. Could be an accident because a Russian missile missed It's intended target. Could be a Ukrainian air defense missile. It's very unlikely to be a deliberate attack on civilians, the Russians don't do that. The Ukrainians do regularly shell civilian targets in the Donbass and have been doing so for the last 8 years.
    2
  2440.  @stagg2158  That was going to be Ukraine. Which was the final straw before the invasion.
    2
  2441.  @realmw01  I believe the Soviet Union also applied to join NATO.
    2
  2442. We plebs paying for this military disaster shouldn't focus on the fact it hasn't gone anywhere. Phil says so!
    2
  2443.  @ospehu1  GDP is a poor indicator of the real economy. It includes all kinds of non productive activities, financial services for example. Also purchasing power parity is a better indicator when comparing countries as it lists in terms of goods in the local currency. The World bank has Russia as number 4 in the World, after China USA and India. When you account for the productive part this favours Russia even more.
    2
  2444. @ospehu1  1990s were a deliberate act by the West. Jeffrey Sachs has said he proposed a recovery plan, like a Marshall plan, and the USA government refused to do it. They preferred to plunder Russia, until Putin kicked them out.
    2
  2445.  @rhysparry6271  "Yulia Vashag" or summat.
    2
  2446. It's pretty clear that neither Harris nor Walz are normal.
    2
  2447.  @arandonmusicvenue9431  He seems pretty normal to me. But the brainwashers have moved perception of normal way over to the insane end of the spectrum. Charlie Kirk had a typical Harris voter trying to be clever with him: Male but presenting as a woman wearing a surgical mask. I suppose Harris and Walz look relatively normal compared to that.
    2
  2448.  @maxwild1212  You would probably disagree with how I (and most people) define normal.
    2
  2449. Sounds like reality it arriving on the scene. "This is an incursion, I don't believe they will be there all that long". So it was a failure then?
    2
  2450. I think you have figured out the real Trump peace plan.
    2
  2451. One of the challenges is getting people to bother to vote. Making it obvious that the other side hates them is a solid electioneering technique.
    2
  2452. Great, get on with it. The sooner it fails the sooner the Russian one can start and hopefully bring this war to a end
    2
  2453. If we send western jets then western pilots will be in them as "contractors". So NATO will be depleting itself of very expensively trained irreplaceable pilots as well as jets. (The same goes for the tanks and all the other complex equipment supplied)
    2
  2454. Sky news laps this rubbish up. Sean Bell will be explaining how this is the key to retaking Bakhmut (which they said was irrelevant when Russia was fighting for it).
    2
  2455.  @Cazador60140  And now there is the whole 14 Leopard-2 88 Leopard-1 controversy. Got to say it's a remarkable coincidence. Wonder who picked the numbers of tanks. Green (WEF.) party?
    2
  2456. @DARKSTAR-mn8ee  I don't see NATO as a force for peace right now.
    2
  2457. Jan 6 was clearly a provocateured false flag. And it wasn't an insurrection. The congressional committee was a farce and not even constitutionally formed. Trump was acquitted in the Senate for bogus impeachment 2. So no basis for removal under the 14th amendment, which itself is almost certainly unconstitutional applied to a President. But the anti-Democrats and other Trump deranged don't care about all that because they know their lapdogs in the media will propagate the story to their ignorant voters.
    2
  2458. Yeah right it's Russia doing the hybrid warfare. Not the USA mounting 60+ regime change operations since WW2.
    2
  2459. I really think we should leave it a couple of weeks to see how this pans out before crowing about it.
    2
  2460.  @andreyzaycev8346  That law would also terminate with the Zelelensky regime. Zelelensky and Neocon nutcases are playing Russian Roulette with a fully loaded revolver. Unfortunately it's pointed at all our heads
    2
  2461.  @Villain1874  That's probably because you think Ukraine is winning because the media has told you that. It isn't and it won't. Russia isn't going to give up and can always fully mobilize and send millions of troops in. They don't want to because it will be bad for them and disastrous for Ukraine.
    2
  2462. It was tongue in cheek but I think it was also real. Putin is beating the West under a biden presidency, why would he want someone effective like Trump in the Whitehouse?
    2
  2463. A great many British people support President Trump and the incredibly talented team he's assembled. And there is also a lot of support for President Putin despite the constant propaganda from the likes of Ellwood Browder and Times Radio.
    2
  2464. Don't care about Georgie, you are a traitor dear. STILL VOTING REFORM!
    2
  2465. So we have wasted 9.5 billion pounds on this pointless exercise so far. This has been a total failure for the West and a humanitarian disaster for Ukraine.
    2
  2466.  @scottkrater2131  That's not propaganda, It's what happened. NATO is a clear and present danger to World peace.
    2
  2467. Warsaw pact was a buffer zone that's all. The Russians don't want anything to do with them. They are only endangered by hosting NATO bases and missiles.
    2
  2468.  @UnleashedCode  They probably have to add the dire warnings about future growth or the USA will sanction them. 😏
    2
  2469.  @borderway  Any idea when they intend to get to Tokmak and Melitopol?
    2
  2470.  @rogerphelps9939  The offensive had ground to a halt without even reaching the first real defensive line. The "probing" narrative is just propaganda.
    2
  2471.  @hernanreipp3321  I'm not legally stating it as a fact, just my and 99% of the World's opinion. 🤓 - allegedly.
    2
  2472. The FBI have many hard drives of Epstein's blackmail videos so one can be very sure if there were any of Trump they would have been leaked years ago. Depositions from other witnesses have said they NEVER saw Trump at any of Epstein's locations. And of course Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-lago. The interesting new revelation is the potential blackmail of Sir Richard Branson.
    2
  2473. This is going to be another dollar in the "Trump was right" jar.
    2
  2474. About as annoying to listen to as Greta Doomsberg.
    2
  2475. Better entertainment than the WWE. 🤣🤣🤣
    2
  2476. War of attrition employing "aggressive defence". Object of the exercise is to prevent Ukraine from being a threat to Russia by deleting their military.
    2
  2477.  @rouz0  No point preaching to the converted is there 😏. Everyone watching alternative sources are a year ahead of these brainwashed cultists 😂
    2
  2478.  @philipmain5701  I try my best. We have an elite class that thinks it's fine to lie to the public about everything. I suppose that's the essence of technocracy. Think of Winston Smith who has to learn that 2 plus 2 is whatever the party says it is.
    2
  2479.  @Chipvw63  No physical evidence to support the theory just circumstantial. The Russians stopped using glide bomb on the Krinki bridgehead around the time the SU34s were reported shot down. That suggests the Russians were worried about long range air defence. The Russians don't randomly attack civilian targets, especially with ballistic missiles, unless there is a priority target there.
    2
  2480. So what?, Putin is as hard as nails. He's a very brave and stoic man, don't judge him by your own inadiquacies.
    2
  2481. I've been watching Col Daniel Davies and Col Tony Shaffer in discussion. They would agree with me on the first and third questions at least. Whether Russia is a fully functioning democracy is debatable but given all the deep state shenanigans with Trump it's also debatable if the USA is.
    2
  2482. Too big a landslide to enable Jamie Rat Skins proposed colour revolution.
    2
  2483. More bilge about Trump from this "Professor of International Politics at the Clinton Institute " So no bias there then.
    2
  2484. Yeah right Phil.
    2
  2485. In other news... Fox cracks down on violence in the hen house.
    2
  2486. According to the Russian MOD. Ukraine has lost 12,000 armoured vehicles so far. Now that's tanks plus IFVs etc. So say 4000 tanks. 45 old tanks are not going to make any difference at all, especially considering how badly the Ukrainians have employed them in this counteroffensive.
    2
  2487. YOUR CAPS LOCK IS ON!
    2
  2488. 99.9% it was an air defence missile which missed it's target. A Russian Onyx missile would have leveled the place.
    2
  2489. Wow Times interviewing a sane informed commentator for a change.
    2
  2490.  @danmayberry1185  She seems to have a few notes, not a massive ring binder of focus group approved BS.
    2
  2491. There isn't going to be a ceasefire in Ukraine. The Russians have completely rejected the idea. They will only stop fighting if the Ukrainians effectively surrender.
    2
  2492.  @willc1294  Not much left in the warehouse to manage either. 25% of our heavy weapons have been blown up, sunk or sold in Ukraine.
    2
  2493.  @JohnSmith-fl6qd  He's a mind reader now.
    2
  2494. As if a bit of pathetic lawfare would stop President Trump. 🤣
    2
  2495. Ukraine regularly shoots down 200% of Iskanders with a single "magic" PAC-3 🤣
    2
  2496. And the Pulitzer prize for most deceptive headline goes to the Telegraph with: "Ukraine reaches 'final layer' of key Russian defensive line" 🤣🤣🤣 They are still stuck in front of the first "Suroviken" line. Hamish de Hyphen Blowhard coping about his beloved Challenger 2. It's burnt out Hamish the Russians have released a drone image and the crew probably didn't get out. "The protection is working" 🤣 yeah as well as Jill Biden's COVID boosters.
    2
  2497. Meanwhile we have Chris Steele subverting the American electoral system with his pack of lies "dossier". And Times still platforms him.
    2
  2498. The "free and open democracy" we are bankrupting ourselves to support refuses to publish accurate casualty numbers. They aren't fooling the Russians just their own people and us.
    2
  2499. The West is obsessed with Crimea because project Ukraine is all about containing and then balconizing Russia.
    2
  2500.  @WHS_reviews  Hiya Kasekopfe you should teach Ukraine how to surrender being an expert 🤣
    2
  2501. ​ @IusedtohaveausernameIliked  The fundamentals are all on Russia's side. Low debt and deficit. Nationalised arms manufacturers. Abundant natural resources. The only big issue they have is a demographic problem leading to a labour shortage. That can easily be solved by guest workers from NK for example.
    2
  2502. I believe he wrote "Back in the USSR" didn't he.
    2
  2503.  @wormlandsbanen  They aren't. Those figures are ridiculous.
    2
  2504. @Precursor-b5u I think I'm right and you lot are living in the past.
    2
  2505.  @Memovox  There are rumours that this offensive was informally known as the Nuland offensive. All the US Neocons care about is shifting Russia from Crimea so it can be used by the American navy. That plan is not going very well ☹.
    2
  2506.  @Adam-vy5sv  Trying to explain the sunk cost fallacy to zealots is not an easy task.
    2
  2507. It's possible for Russia to lose in Ukraine but its very very unlikely. And this has been the case right from the start. This is why Marco Rubio has stated that the Biden team, aided and abeted by the lapdog mainstream media, deceived people into believing Ukraine could defeat Russia. I never believed that.
    2
  2508. So the first project 2025 Handmaids Tale misogynistic action so far is to appoint the very first female Whitehouse Chief of Staff - Chilling
    2
  2509. I have zero doubt Mr Herbst is talking out of his Kamala Harris. Russia is crushing Ukraine and NATO and Trump knows that full well.
    2
  2510. There is no guarantee Oligarchies like the USA and Ukraine will survive.
    2
  2511. Who the fluff are these two polymaths anyway?
    2
  2512. Biden's DHS refused requests for additional security. Just a coincidence I'm sure.🙃
    2
  2513. There have been no consequential breakthroughs. By which I mean a substantial (few km) break in the first fortified "Suroviken" line which allows the offensive to continue to the second and beyond.
    2
  2514. Which side is to blame for the end of the INF treaty? It was the hubristic Americans who withdrew from it in 2018 assuming that the USA was the only superpower.
    2
  2515. Putin is the most rational leader that Orban has every met. He's intelligent and calm and not at all crazy. But he's to blame for everything not any of the useless leaders we have in the West.😂
    2
  2516.  @macc240038  They should have accepted neutrality for Ukraine on the many occasions that it was brought up. A clear statement that Ukraine would never join NATO due to the destabilising effect it would have in the region, which is a valid reason to reject them under NATO membership rules.
    2
  2517. "There is a narrative that Ukraine were winning and now they are losing, I'm not sure it's as simple as that". Correct! Ukraine were losing and they are still losing Prof.🤣 You can hypothecate desperation due to the new strategic alliances being struck but there is still no real evidence that Russia needs military materiel from NK, Iran or China. A more reasonable hypothesis is that all those countries are on America's to-do list so it make sense for them to pool resources.
    2
  2518. Did you see the pen1s baloons making fun of the prosecution goons?
    2
  2519.  @unfamiliarenvironments  They have plenty of idiot Soyboys mainly in the Democrat Party 🤣🤣🤣
    2
  2520. Of course Ukraine is a western colony Mark 😂. All the way back in 2013 Victoria Nuland was picking the new president, even before the old one was ejected in a colour revolution/coup. Now Ukraine is a wholy owned subsidiary of the USA - the US taxpayer is paying the wages and pensions of the Ukrainian state. If this money was to dry up Ukraine would collapse into chaos in a week or two.
    2
  2521.  @Valleycommando-d9g  Sounds reasonable. I doubt many would even reach the front line. Realistically the only point would be to provide a tripwire for WW3.
    2
  2522. Truth hurts, only three years too late.
    2
  2523. The Globalists never wanted integration. They wanted multiculturalism. It's classic divide and rule with the twist of importing the divisive element.
    2
  2524. The cases are all BS. He will continue with the appeals because he's been railroaded. That is an advantage of vast wealth. Imagine how the system could break you.
    2
  2525. Ukraine will take decades to recover from this debacle. A generation of young men is either dead, crippled or exiled. And the west caused and is continuing to enable this as older generations of Ukrainians, particularly ethnic minorities, meet the same fate. As I've said from day one, the West are the bad guys.
    2
  2526. Load of old carp from the Globalist oligarchy.
    2
  2527. Are you posting this from a padded cell?
    2
  2528. It must be difficult for reasonable people to interact with such a delusional bunch of Trump haters as the Times radio editorial staff.
    2
  2529. Estonia is as anti Russian as you get. But he didn't sound as confident as our every truthful press has been for 10 months. It's clear that the West has underestimated Russia. I liked Col Macgregor's analogy. He says that NATO particularly the USA has become complacent and arrogant, let's call it "hubris". The reason is all the recent conflicts have been the equivalent of "clubbing baby seals" 🤣. Russia is an entirely different prospect. Have a good look at Bakhmut and tell me that Ukraine is winning. All the "NATO needs to get stuck in" types - do you fancy your town looking like Bakhmut?
    2
  2530. That would be WW3 you know.
    2
  2531. There's plenty of room for Woke lefties in the Liberals and Labour. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
    2
  2532. The Russians have specifically said they DO NOT want a ceasefire. They want a comprehensive deal with Ukraine neutral, their armed forces severely limited, recognition for the annexed regions and Crimea, protection for ethnic Russians in Ukraine and an end to all sanctions.
    2
  2533. What? statements like the riots were fomented by the "far right" (everyone is far right to a Marxist). Or even that Russia was involved 🤦‍♂️. Starmer is the one inflaming the situation because he's a plank who lives in a bubble.
    2
  2534. Over the past few years I've got accustomed to not really believing anything from the Ukrainians or the British mainstream media. The Russians however have been pretty reliable and truthful; they either tell the truth or say nothing while the Ukrainians reflexively lie and then when they get caught out backtrack - same as the British mainstream media. Seems this is a case in point, of course it was a POW transport and of course Ukraine shot it down. A more interesting question is why did they do it.
    2
  2535.  @russellspeed1693  It's pretty obvious that Ukraine is on its last legs. Russia could keep this up indefinitely, Ukraine can't.
    2
  2536. He wasn't very eloquent in English but still managed to get his point across. Ukraine is Russia's soft underbelly so they won't allow an aggressive military alliance (NATO) to occupy it.
    2
  2537. Nothing whatsoever to do with the Globalist hoax of "Climate Change".
    2
  2538.  @Nick-ov8sm  this silly story is cope.
    2
  2539. Check out Scott Adams' list of Democrat hoaxes. Biden used the "fine people" hoax in his latest trainwreck interview.
    2
  2540. The so called campaigner is an actor, presumably doing an homage to Alf Garnet. Why not get him in for a grilling Times? It's starting to look like organised election interference.
    2
  2541. Lets see, Cheyney that's one. McCain. There were those chomos from the Lincoln project say 3-4. Crying Adam Kinzinger. Doesn't seem that many, who else was there?
    2
  2542. @foilhat1138  We hate Trump signed "The Swamp"
    2
  2543.  @EvelynBaron  Trump did a great job last time, despite the constant plots to depose him. So he would be my choice.
    2
  2544. ​​ @cooldudecs  Please change your alias, it breaches the trade descriptions act. Ukraine threw their manpower uselessly into Bakhmut. It was a suicide mission but it was all worthwhile to damage Russia (That's what Lloyd Austin believes)
    2
  2545.  @David-h5h7k  Such as? The technique is to get authority figures to repeat it over and over again as fact until the public accepts it as fact. But you notice there are no specifics. There could be 1000 or 15000, they are "in Russia" (it's a big place) and are "heading for Kursk". And so on.
    2
  2546. There are no Russian imperial dreams with regards to Ukraine. The Russians want security from an aggressive neighbour (EU/NATO) which has fomented hatred towards then with their next door neighbour The imperialism is actually by the Globalists who want to annex Russia.
    2
  2547. Hamish thinks that Ukraine rules the waves of the Black sea, despite having no ships. And that "F16s are superior to anything they (Russians) have" That the Russian troops are untrained and useless despite the fact they defeated Ukraine in the summer offensive, which Hamish said Ukraine would easily win. He's even suggesting Ukraine could have a other go at Crimea, utterly delusional. Russia is spending 6% of GDP not 40% Hamish and is very far from a total war footing.
    2
  2548. Times Radio just makes me root for Pooty more. I don't think they have had one positive story about him or Russia. I want him to win and make all the editorial team cry like babies 😂
    2
  2549. He's not wrong, and it shows how useless NATO is. They had the best and largest NATO standard army in Europe with NATO intelligence and the Russians destroyed it. Now they are chasing guys in the street to press gang them into probable death and begging for a few army surplus tanks. They are defacto losing the war and will in facto be destroyed.
    2
  2550. The Russians don't need North Korean weapons Phil, unlike the USA which had to get a load of shells from South Korea because their military industrial complex (and ours too) is just a money laundering scheme for kleptocrats.

  2556. Total nonsense. Harris is the single worst Democrat nominee in living memory. Only the gaslighting media is keeping her horrible fake campaign afloat. Trump 2024
    2
  2557. How can anyone speak of a positive Biden performance 🤣. He's a complete disaster and was only going to win if things had turned out differently on Saturday.
    2
  2558. They are about the only NATO country dumb and arrogant enough to take on the Russians.
    2
  2559. She's a real lawyer not Adam "Pencil Neck" Schiff.
    2
  2560. The Times Radio reporter said this was a great performance by Biden 🤣.
    2
  2561. The Time magazine article appears to be a hit piece on Zelensky. People have speculated that the Biden regime desperately want a conflict freeze due to the upcoming election and pivot to Israel. Zelensky is dead set against it for various reasons so they want him gone. Francis is sticking to the "Russia is rubbish" narrative which is clearly not the case, they are just taking it slowly because time is on their side. It's likely that Avdiivka is intended to be another meat grinder to kill/capture as many Ukrainian conscripts as possible prior to any big arrow offensive.
    2
  2562.  @hedleythorne  Nuclear weapons are a reality. Both the USA and Soviet Union have come very close to using them at various times. Of course the USA has used them twice against Japan. So Russia has clearly stated under what conditions it would consider using them as a measure of deterrence against the West, which has recklessly escalated the conflict by supplying Ukraine with arms and money without any regard to what Russia might do in retaliation.
    2
  2563. No could about it, North Korea has received modern Topol-M ICBMs from Russia. They are capable of hitting Washington or London and are unstoppable. North Korea is a fully fledged nuclear power now.
    2
  2564. They just won't give up on this pipedream will they. So they are going to set up a trial in absentia. Well Russia intends to hold trials in absentia on the western leaders and operatives responsible for war crimes too, for example whoever prevented the March 2022 peace deal from being implemented.
    2
  2565. Russia has won this war, everyone knows it. They are gradually destroying Ukraine's ability to fight on while minimising Russian casualties. Zelensky's opinions don't carry much weight outside of the "collective West"
    2
  2566.  @jeffreycook5664  She's only shrewd in the sense of "taming of the shrew" 🤣
    2
  2567. The highly visible laser weapon will be very useful until the Kinzhal missile hits a few minutes later.

  2568.  @FishandHunt  Russia is winning buddy. It's a very unfortunate attrition victory as shown by the diminishing quality of Ukrainian cannon fodder and the ever expanding cemeteries.
    2
  2569. Russia is on the verge of a resounding victory in Ukraine. No amount of cope from the Times is going to change that.
    2
  2570. They wanted to do it but completely failed thankfully.
    2
  2571. Biden's brain is mush, he refused to take the cognitive test that Trump did. The media and political hacks lied that he was "as sharp as a tack". When they couldn't hide it anymore they pushed the eject button.
    2
  2572. Trump talked about constructing a skyscraper using Starmer Lammy and Rayner in the foundations.
    2
  2573. The USA burned because a fentanyl addict died. Apparently Kiev is back on the menu because it is the only way to finish the task.
    2
  2574. The World bank says the opposite and they are generally pessimistic. "World Bank confirms forecast for Russia's GDP growth at 1.6% in 2025, 1.1% in 2026. MOSCOW. Jan 17 (Interfax) - The World Bank forecasts that Russia's GDP will increase 1.6% in 2025 and 1.1% in 2026, the bank said in its January issue of Global Economic Prospects."
    2
  2575.  @dennisward100  You state "as a true Brit we should be helping Ukraine". I'm interested to know why Ukraine is any business of ours?
    2
  2576. Quite a lot, they must be running out of excuses and now have to decloak.
    2
  2577. Thanks George Soros and Klaus Schwab.
    2
  2578. Wait a minute Times. Your deceptive thumbnail says "Putin" is losing ground. Russia has retaken hundreds of square kilometres in Kursk this week you lying scribes.
    2
  2579. There is far more chance of Zelelensky being deposed in some way. Russia is in a far better position to maintain a long war than the collective West, who's public is getting sick of paying for an unwinable and extremely dangerous war.
    2
  2580.  @tullyDT  Hang on, Artyomovsk was just symbolic and a pyrrhic victory so why do the Ukes want it back so bad? 🤣. The propagandists tied themselves in knots with it, one minute vital strategic and a fortress, next symbolic and a waste of time - what is it? The Ukes are trying to attack there because it's all they can do - pure desperation.
    2
  2581. I heard mainly cheers. But a few boos probably by the insane woman being dragged away and her Biden voting chums.
    2
  2582. Time to defect to Reform Priti.
    2
  2583. Nobody is going to do this 🤣 What a ridiculous policy.
    2
  2584. Out where? The Land of Make Believe?
    2
  2585. Well if a former CIA director says Joe is on top form then it must be true🤣🤣🤣 Leon also helped Biden last election by declaring Hunter's laptop was "Russian Disinformation" even though the FBI was in possession of it and knew it was genuine.
    2
  2586. If Ukraine joins NATO in the current state then article 5 would apply immediately. In which case its either: A. WW3 immediately - you can kiss your sweet botty goodbye. B. Not WW3 - NATO is just a Globalist talking shop and money laundering scheme. Neither scenario is attractive to the mandarins of NATO.
    2
  2587. ​ @gordonstrong5232  No it wasn't, it was a hoax back then too. It was a load of nonsense about a few Facebook ads that no one saw.
    2
  2588. It's started and gone badly so far.
    2
  2589. Still recycling the Ukrainian aid package story. The Ukrainians have already said it's not enough 🤣. The Russians are smashing through their defensive lines up and down the front. A few ATACMs are not going to make much of a difference. They might pointlessly destroy the Kerch bridge for PR but that's about it.
    2
  2590. Literally nobody who follows alternative media was surprised by Bidens dementia. They are also not surprised about Zelensky's corruption and incompetence.
    2
  2591.  @DavidJ222  Yawn, Kiev was never a serious objective but it may well become one.
    2
  2592. Martin sets out the reasons for the Ukraine SMO, that Russia fears an invasion from the West via Ukraine. But he then has to trot out the propaganda that NATO is a defensive alliance and that the West wouldn't even think about attacking Russia 😂. That's exactly what they wanted to do, there are plans to split Russia into 5 smaller nations and allow Western vulture capitalists to plunder the natural resources. I think Martin is willfully ignoring the obvious reality.
    2
  2593.  @asterixdogmatix1073  Any evidence of that?
    2
  2594. There is no chance of this happening. Russia will reconstruct the annexed regions and the West will be responsible for the rest. If they steal Russian foreign assets then Russia will retaliate against western interests.
    2
  2595. Cope overload.
    2
  2596. Sensible commentators have been saying this right from the start of the conflict in Ukraine. So why did Boris Johnson and the warmongers behind him tell Zelensky to fight rather than agree a peace deal with Russia? Same goes for Stoltenberg at NATO who could have prevented the initial invasion. We can't beat Russia militarily in their back yard, the sanctions have been an embarrassing failure and diplomacy has involved calling Putin nasty names like teenage schoolkids.
    2
  2597. These are not "protests" they are violent riots. Just like the "mostly peaceful protests" of BLM in the USA leaving billions in damage and many dead in their wake the mainstream media plays down the violence because they agree with the cause. The cause in the the USA was to remove President Trump and the cause here is to remove the Georgia Dream administration. Well done to Georgia for standing firm against the usual suspects responsible for both sets of violent insurgencies.
    2
  2598.  @bassetdad437  I saw that. I expect ovine crime stats will be up due to the power vacuum left behind.
    2
  2599.  @global.citizens  It wasn't an invasion according to the legal definition. "An encroachment upon the rights of another; the incursion of an army for conquest or plunder" The incursion was in defence of the LPR and DPR.
    2
  2600. I don't believe it either - convince me. Show me the Kimchi!
    2
  2601. Pathetic isn't it, if they had listened to me for 2 1/2 years instead of the "other side" they wouldn't look like idiots now.
    2
  2602. Patriot PAC-3 is by far the most likely culprit.
    2
  2603. Ukraine is completely irrelevant to the UK as it is to the USA. This is a Globalist project to attack Russia and President Trump has called time on it. Starmer is working against the British interest, because the war and sanctions have cost us dearly. Fancy Starmer, Lammy and Healey visiting President Trump after all the bad mouthing in the media over the last week. I've got my popcorn ready.
    2
  2604. Times completely wrong as usual. President Trump is redefining the World order that's all, taking into account the realities of a multi-polar World. The ego is all from the European chihuahuas such as Starmer and Macron who are upset that their place in the redefined World order has been substantially reduced.
    2
  2605. @Mystery Rosebud I don't know how anyone can take Biden and Zelensky seriously. There is no way either of them are in charge.
    2
  2606. Drill baby drill! Reduce my energy bill and inflation in general.
    2
  2607. The US counterrevolution is taking place.
    2
  2608. @foilhat1138  So what was the objective of the Kursk invasion then? To sit in a field and wait to be bombed?
    2
  2609. Is there any way to blame Trump or Putin?
    2
  2610.  @4windrush  Now you see I think she is a bit weird, the insane cackle doesn't help. And her VP pick screams weird. All kinds of bad stories coming out about him. Trump and Vance are what most normal people would call normal in my view.
    2
  2611.  @Pierre-Leloup  I get called a bot, but I don't do it for a living like Times' journos do.
    2
  2612.  @DarkCriimes  Sure you aren't talking about Ukraine? Millions have left and never intend to return and they are now economically dependent on foreigners. Russia is doing just fine, growing far faster than any European country. Demographics will be greatly helped by their return to traditional values and gender roles.
    2
  2613.  @runtsgal  I'm speaking of the majority. When it becomes obvious how expensive economic mobilisation is in the west they won't want it to prop up Ukraine.
    2
  2614. What a load of carp. This war has turned the media into a hoard of Baghdad Bobs. The Ukrainians have been decimated in Artyomovsk and by a mercenary militia in part comprised of convicts. This is because the Ukraine army has terrible leadership and mostly untrained soldiers recently dragged from the streets. The real Ukraine army was killed or irretrievably wounded last year and their equipment was destroyed. I feel the total collapse is getting very close now.
    2
  2615. That's the TDS related hallucinations.
    2
  2616.  @obstreperous1113  Can you explain what the disinformation is that I've allegedly propagated? Do you think the offensive has gone well? I might be incorrectly attributing the failure to Nuland, Tony Shafer seems to think it was Sullivan's disaster.
    2
  2617. Russia has been shunned by the Globalists but everyone else is on their side. It's actually the USA and hangers on which are well on their way to irrelevance. The Russian sanctions have failed and now the North Korean sanctions will be circumvented by Russia and allies.
    2
  2618. Can we call them "Death dodgers" because that's what mobilization is, a death sentence. Ukraine can't win, why die for the New World Order?
    2
  2619.  @joelturley4847  There were some big bangs, possibly from the railway yard, but not from the underground ammo dump. Is that too hard to understand?
    2
  2620.  @johnf3885  I only really care about the UK population in this regard. I'll leave the Russians to consider their population.
    2
  2621. Nobody in the region is listening to the USA or UK. All the diplomacy is with Russia and China.
    2
  2622. I don't want any UK troops sent to Ukraine under any circumstances.
    2
  2623. This guy is an Olympic filibusterer, he didn't answer a single question and could talk a glass eye to sleep🤣. I listened to this entire load of waffle and couldn't find anything saying that South Korean troops were heading for Ukraine (which would be insane).
    2
  2624.  @juliangilbert5465  Mark Miley said 3 days to take Kiev but there was never enough Russian troops to do that unless the generals had been bought off like in Syria.
    2
  2625. @koma-k  Not that it would be much of a comfort to the population if the sub got off it's salvo but that is far from a certainty anyway. Russian subs are the most technically advanced in the World and it's likely that our ageing Trident subs are constantly shadowed and could be taken out prior to any attack.
    2
  2626. Superstar American four star Petraeus said they would be in Crimea by teatime.
    2
  2627. Russia takes out Ukraines stockpile of western weapons with their devastating strikes on Ukraine. Ukraine uses western weapons to take out Christmas trees and shoppers so the British media can gloat.
    2
  2628.  @4ndrossi  The Americans call that collateral damage if they were hit incidentally or accidentally. Otherwise friendly fire if, as is usually the case, they are hit by Ukrainian air defence missiles.
    2
  2629. What will West will do when Russia loses? Wow that's insane.
    2
  2630.  @adamc366  They all just repeat the script they are given. They aren't being used for their expertise but for their perceived authority. They are essentially props.
    2
  2631. Russia hasn't declared any red lines. They were all Western red lines which were subsequently broken after massive diplomatic pressure by the lunatics in Washington and especially London. Putin has just clearly stated that they will consider deep strikes into Russia using NATO weapons as acts of war against Russia. This is because they can only be accomplished using NATO intelligence, satellites and personnel. So do we really want to declare war on the largest nuclear superpower?
    2
  2632.  @CreamPolo  He kept the Conservatives in power by making UKIP redundant. It was a good move, but quitting when the public voted leave was very cowardly.
    2
  2633. What a load of old 💩
    2
  2634. The S&P 500 still well up from last year. Times Radio lying as usual.
    2
  2635. Did you ever look at a map and see how far away Ukraine is from the USA? Also anyone with empathy for the Ukrainian people would stop sending weapons there. Weapons which have enabled a tiny elite group to sacrifice a huge number of men and women in a war that never needed to happen.
    2
  2636. This outrage has backfired so much that a Democrat representative for New York has suggested the Governor should pardon President Trump. Nobody thinks the process was either fair or justified.
    2
  2637. Right, so we are signed up to the cluster munitions convention and the USA is supplying cluster munition to Ukraine. So we end any further military cooperation and aid yes?
    2
  2638. Mine vanish into the digital phantom zone repeatedly. Skepticism will not be tolerated 😂
    2
  2639.  @doncarlodivargas5497  You have been consuming and are now disseminating propaganda bud.
    2
  2640. Zelensky has to be the dumbest World leader right now. If he thinks that Europe can replace the USA he's lost the plot.
    2
  2641. Could get migration down instead, just sayin'.
    2
  2642. Won't be so smug when the Houtis sink a UK ship, HMS Diamond had "technical difficulties" after a missile attack. Colonel MacGregor says there are two kinds of vessels; submarines and targets. Hypersonic missiles make surface ships a liability, even cheap drones are a risk as we have seen in the Red sea.
    2
  2643. John Healey gaslighting and fearmongering. The Russian ship is in international waters,. If the UK tries to interfere with it then that would be an act of war.
    2
  2644. Imagine what they think about Times Radio 😱
    2
  2645. Russia is winning an attrition war which is the biggest since WW2. Ukraine has had millions of casualties and Russia probably a tenth of those.
    2
  2646.  @johnfellows689  That's the way I see it.
    2
  2647. New target🤣 TR has massive Trump Derangement Syndrome the election night live stream was like a funeral. I was loving it.
    2
  2648. Highly unlikely given the Russian build up.
    2
  2649. The car crash of peace suspect who attacked a Christmas market is an "Anti-Islam activist". 🙄 I wonder if the Sholtz regime has cloned Goebbels to help with PR.
    2
  2650. It's a genocide by illegitimate dictator Zelensky.
    2
  2651.  @eduwino151  Just being an objective observer. Clarkie had to show all the Western tanks and APCs getting destroyed, which restricted his partisan analysis somewhat.
    2
  2652. There is nothing to be optimistic about. Russia has won militarily economically and diplomatically.
    2
  2653. Nobody is deterring Russia. NATO has shown itself to be a paper tiger and will likely fall apart when Russia finally defeats Ukraine.
    2
  2654.  @IcedEvolution  I was very inspired on hearing that Kier will be chairing the delivery boards.
    2
  2655. Russia has just sunk the Ukrainian medium landing ship Yuri Olfirenko.
    2
  2656. "Nothing" is a bit harsh. They have destroyed 3 Uke armies to date and hold about a fifth of the territory.
    2
  2657.  @MultiAxisDiscipline  No he isn't, he's lied constantly about Ukraine. Or perhaps he was just honestly deluded.
    2
  2658. "If we can believe these claims..." The Ukes are sending human waves of conscripts on foot at Russian trenches. It's possible some managed to get past the real fortified line. This is NOT a "breakthrough".
    2
  2659. Total nonsense - they think the UK public are idiots.
    2
  2660. Trump did pick some stinkers for his staff last time. Largely because he was an outsider and relied on the Republican party for advice. Hopefully when he wins in November he can put together a loyal and effective team without any Scaramuccis et al.
    2
  2661.  @boink800  I expect western politicians to be indicted too. Boris and Biden etc.
    2
  2662.  @Bird_McBride  We might see Zelelensky pulled out of a hole yet.
    2
  2663. @SL-sd3sg  You have the Woke mind virus, get help.
    2
  2664.  @karlos417  There weren't any. Scott Ritter said there weren't any and wound up in jail on sex crime charges. Doctor David Kelly said there weren't any and wound up dead in the woods. I'm so glad we in the West are the good guys.
    2
  2665. ​ @teddansonLA We know they didn't initially intend to take Kiev because they only assigned 40,000 troops. Mark Milley was the first to say they were intending to do that, probably got it from Jake Sullivan, Vicky Nuland or similar incompetent.
    2
  2666.  @foilhat1138  For example there are British "mercenaries" who were very recently in the army. There are also technicians operating Storm Shadow - we know that from the leaked discussion by the German generals.
    2
  2667.  @cucur8TAC  Apparently his Ukrainian "refugee" wife has been arrested.
    2
  2668. You need to get out more.
    2
  2669.  @shuathe2nd  With air cover? Really, how long would that last? Apparently 137 Typhoons in 2023 and 35 F-35s. We aren't going to send them all and many will be out of action so likely 40 total. That's not going to last too long against S300,400,500 and SU34/35 etc.
    2
  2670. I'm lovin' it.
    2
  2671. It's because all the cases are entirely bogus.
    2
  2672. The Russians don't particularly care. Ukraine they do care about and it will never join NATO.
    2
  2673.  @oeokosko  Did you get a morale boost from Phil's happy talk?
    2
  2674. Why do we care who runs Ukraine? The Donbas people prefer that to be Russia anyway.
    2
  2675. Anthony talking up Ukrainian genocide. They never stood a chance Tony, remember this is a special military operation not "total war" like you suggest so Russia has a lot of escalation capability yet. We all knew about the Russian defences while the Times' experts were discounting them because western weapons and tactics are so much better than Russian shovels. YOU ALL LIED TONY! The blood of those poor Ukrainian conscripts press-ganged off the street are on your hands as well as the ghouls in Washington DC and London who think spilling Ukrainian blood is really good value as long as it gives the Russians a bloody nose. Well it hasn't even done that Russia is stronger than ever.
    2
  2676. This BRICS summit is the beginning of the end for the "Rules based order" which is built on economic warfare (sanctions and seizures etc.) They are going to replace every weaponised financial institution including the London insurance market.
    2
  2677.  @healthyasmr9246  I've never said that.
    2
  2678. WW3
    2
  2679. No evidence whatsoever that Russia wants any more territory than the Russian parts of Ukraine. The media and military establishment have lied and lied to the UK and US public for nearly two years about this war. If the General is so concerned let him join up with their foreign legion and fight for them.
    2
  2680. What, recruiting aggressive fit young men rather than dog kink fans and gender fluid they/thems with noodle arms. What are they thinking 😂
    2
  2681. Yeah and where will you get <Insert any product> from after we decouple.
    2
  2682. It's the Dems who are panicking. The assassination plot failed and a wounded Trump is a very dangerous animal.
    2
  2683. Freezing British pensioners would be incredibly happy if man made Global warming was real, rather than a Globalist scam'.
    2
  2684. Not really, one minute your prospective tank commander is having a stroll to the shops. Next he's bopped on the head in a van heading for Germany or the UK. Four weeks later he's sat in a Chally soaking up an ATGM in Robotyne.
    2
  2685. Is Biden desperate enough to start WW3 to stay in power?
    2
  2686. Every sensible analyst, including the Russian general in charge, has concluded the KNPP was the primary objective. If they had captured it, it would be very difficult to get them out without causing a disaster. They failed to achieve that objective and the Russians are actually accelerating their offensives in the Donbas.
    2
  2687. He crossed the border illegally, thats a crime in sensible countries.
    2
  2688.  @zedeyejoe  How exactly have Russia lost 🙄
    2
  2689.  @AngrySlavaUkraini  America even outsourced torture including to Libya of all places. The show "24" was used to normalise it. There are also many reports of Ukrainian torture over the last 8 years including fatal.
    2
  2690.  @AngrySlavaUkraini  This is just more lawfare propaganda for the western audience. Like the ICC charge.
    2
  2691.  @govinda102000  Not quite the same as Russia though. When has NATO flown in anything but a permissive environment?
    2
  2692. Should have had mail in voting for the referendum then Joe Biden would have won.
    2
  2693. Climate Change (formally Anthropogenic Global Warming) is an Global elitist hoax. It is typified by alarmist media, bad modelling, bad experimental data and censorship of dissent - just like COVID.
    2
  2694. The Globalist elite are at war with the common people.
    2
  2695. They will now try to jail him, standard "colour revolution" MO.
    2
  2696. That's baked in - probably 25% actually.
    2
  2697. @WestermanT.  I'm pointing out the hypocrisy and projection. Russia is doing well while Ukraine is destroyed. The entire premise of the piece is bunk.
    2
  2698. @WestermanT.  If you believe all that then I understand your point. I don't believe all that. The casualty numbers you state are far too high. The sanctions have been largely circumvented by Russia but have destroyed the European economy, particularly Germany. The sanctions have also accelerated BRICS as other countries see the capricious nature of the "rules based order".
    2
  2699.  @WestermanT.  We will find out who was right in due course. Probably sometime in 2025.
    2
  2700.  @dpelpal  The Russians are far more able to counter drones with their advanced electronic warfare capabilities.
    2
  2701.  @eddiel7635  I'm sure the Spetznaz were just advising the people of Crimea on how to defend themselves because they feared persecution after the Maidan coup in 2014. This is how the UK or USA would have framed it if we sent special forces in.
    2
  2702. @hoaxheaven  The Russians say it was turned to dust.
    2
  2703.  @eastlondon666  I have a feeling that Labour are going to lose votes to Reform too. The only "change" party is Reform.
    2
  2704. It was Zelensky's choice not to implement Minsk and also to reject the peace deal in April.
    2
  2705. There's a pattern. Putin gave an option before invading, the draft treaty sent to NATO. He gave an option after invading, the peace agreement in Istanbul. And he's giving his, I would say final, option now. I think he understands Karma and that's why he tries.
    2
  2706.  @malk6277  In international relations you have to accept "realpolitik". Russia says no, Ukraine and NATO disagree then there is a war. That's because Russia considers it an existential threat. Ukraine and NATO thought they could beat Russia that was their version of realpolitik.
    2
  2707. Kamala waffled about nebulous concepts while apparently wearing a disguised Bluetooth headset.
    2
  2708.  @JesusHChrist-q9d  Ah I see the writing process now too. "Trump got a deferment so we can say he doesn't really appreciate the armed forces and he really thinks the ones that were drafted were suckers and losers." "Sir the trip to the war cemetery has been cancelled, the Secret Service were thinking about driving him but we said there were too many potential terrorists on route" "Great, get me the editor of the Atlantic "
    2
  2709. He who is without sin cast the first stone 🤣
    2
  2710. We back to Snake Island 🙄? Will the Ghost of Kiev be making a return too?
    2
  2711.  @shadowuaw-0001  The snake island legend will live forever even though they actually surrendered and were subsequently returned in a prisoner swap 😊
    2
  2712. Biden wasn't fit to serve 4 years ago.
    2
  2713. Nope, Matt is confident of appointment either through immediate confirmation or via the recess appointment route which delays that process for about two years.
    2
  2714. USA currently occupying 1/3 of Syria and stealing the oil.
    2
  2715.  @boink800  Wrong again, their recruiting drive is going very well both for patriotic and economic reasons. The Russian contract soldiers are very well paid as well as respected.
    2
  2716.  @boink800  That's Ukraine you are thinking about.
    2
  2717.  @boink800  Interesting, are you sure they are real calls not just AI generated chatter to put you off guard.
    2
  2718. What a load of old baloney 🤡😂🤡
    2
  2719. No reporting on US citizen Gonzalo Lira facing 13 years in a Ukrainian Gulag for expressing a view I see. All he did was express his negative views of the Zelensky regime. By contrast Evan was allegedly asking about sensitive military production in the sensitive location of Ekaterinburg.
    2
  2720.  @rockbutcher  Looks like the comment kommisars are active memory-holing my reply. I'll try again. The Russians believe this and so do many online western military analysts with relevant military bona fides.
    2
  2721.  @rockbutcher   No problem. The British media have turned this conflict into a Kremlin soap opera because all they really care about is getting rid of Putin. So my comments are a bit didactic because I'm frustrated with them.
    2
  2722.  @CedarHunt  Nothing clever about ad hominem arguments. - That means arguing against the person rather than their statement.
    2
  2723. Shooter is a Ukraine volunteer, associated with Adam Kinzinger and the Vindmans.
    2
  2724.  @richiecooke69  It has everything to do with NATO. NATO trained the Ukrainians to NATO standards. They wanted Russia out of their Crimean base and to make the Black sea a NATO lake. So they trained Ukraines army to NATO standard in order to retake Crimea and the Donbas. The Russian intervention was a preemptive action to counter that.
    2
  2725.  @davidbarr9343  No it isn't.
    2
  2726. Even that is looking unlikely. There is a second harder defensive line before Tokmak and a whole ring of defences like a moat round the town itself. I'd like to see some real evidence that the first line has been breached because the report came from anonymous Uke source (might have just been made up)
    2
  2727. They wanted to capture the nuclear plant in Kurchatov but got bogged down 30 miles away in Sudzha.
    2
  2728. William has been wrong for three years. President Trump is doing the best for American citizens. Time for the British establishment to do the same for us. The Ukraine conflict is not our fight.
    2
  2729. Biden (or whoever really pulls the strings) seems to be trying to start WW3 to spite President Trump.
    2
  2730. Tricky with the Dardanelles. When Turkey joins BRICS it will be much easier for Russia to extend into the Mediterranean and beyond.
    2
  2731. 🥾😋 😂😂😂
    2
  2732. Well said Marjorie and yes Putin is the good guy. He gave Ukraine and the West many ways to prevent the conflict. They knew Ukraine in NATO was a red line for Russia but did it anyway. The West provoked the conflict, have stoked the conflict, engaged in "economic shock and awe" against the Russian people. And by enabling the conflict have enabled a genocide of the Ukrainian people.
    2
  2733. ​ @freespeechmatters583 Mark Miley - woke chairman of the joint chiefs of staff in the USA. He also said he really wanted to know about "white rage" and other idiotic comments such as those two.
    2
  2734. Kai says "the situation on the ground does not look good for the Ukrainians", which is somewhat of an understatement.
    2
  2735.  @molsy1768  That's my view too. They want to scare us to enable more of our money to be laundered via the MIC. If we are really in danger then nationalise the arms companies. This system appears to work very well in Russia.
    2
  2736.  @piersgriffiths1538  We've had a year and a half of Russia losing but they seem to be stronger than when they started. The winning side has no normal 155mm shells remaining and has to use borderline war crime munitions instead. Now that seems to be a farce to me.
    2
  2737. Biden called Trump supporters "garbage" do you agree?
    2
  2738.  @bluecuracaoonice  Interfering in countries internal politics is the real reason, be it Ukraine, Georgia, Hungary or Russia.

  2740. Captain Manwaring is back yay! Didn't he say Russia had 97% of it's army in Ukraine last February 🤣. It's very likely nothing will be a surprise to the Russians in Ukraine given the depth and breadth of their intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities so if we send more than the special forces troops that are already there the Russians will definitely target them. Ben seems to be a tiny bit out of his depth in my view.

The western planners are obsessed by Crimea as they covet Sevastopol and Odessa as NATO bases in my view. They are certainly more bothered about those ports than the poor Ukrainian people they are using as cannon fodder to get them.

  2759. It's probably time to make a strategic withdrawal from the media Rupert. Fewer and fewer people think Ukraine stands a chance (or ever did). More and more think it was a complete waste of western money which never needed to happen if the West hadn't acted so arrogantly with Russia. Putin gave everyone ample opportunity to avoid bloodshed, Stoltenberg admitted there would have been no invasion if NATO had simply taken a less offensive military posture. There were the Minsk accords that the West treated as a cunning ploy to con the idiot Russians and build up the Ukrainian army. And of course Bojo torpedoed the peace deal last April. The Russians have rightly lost patience with us and intend to prosecute the war to a Ukrainian surrender on their terms and there is precisely nothing we can do about it.

  2784.  @trevorroberts9584  Would you like to explain what part of my assessment is "wrong". Ukraine never really stood a chance but the slow methodical tactics of the Russians have made that a difficult assertion to make. However it's very clear now that Ukraine has made no progress at all during this conflict. They didn't win a victory with the offensives last year, the Russians withdrew from a large area around Kiev as a goodwill gesture. And they withdrew from Kherson and Kharkiv because the initial invasion force was too small to hold the line. Everywhere the Russians have stood their ground the Ukrainians have been defeated. Now they are on the offensive against a worn out Ukrainian army.

Their economy has adapted to the sanctions and in fact they have helped Russia become more self sufficient. And diplomatically they are far better received around the World than the USA and UK.
    2
  2811. Do these talking heads ever get sick of repeating the same talking points over and over? The Ukraine conflict is going very well for Russia. Sanctions haven't hurt the economy anywhere nearly as bad as the West hoped and has instead hurt the West, particularly UK and EU more via inflation. The Russians aren't going anywhere in Ukraine after building the most up to date static defence in depth. Ukraine, even will all our supposedly superior weapons hasn't managed to make more than a slight dent in them. So Ed is talking out of his derrière like the rest of the so called experts the Times gets on.

So congress makes laws with the senate additionally vetting executive branch and judicial branch appointees these are the elected representatives. The Supreme Court determines the constitutionality of laws and their application. But the President is an elected dictator although there is a method for congress to remove the President through an impeachment process.

(You know I remember when the USA invaded Grenada (UK) on some pretext but that's an aside.) I expect they did it for national security reasons and because it had been Russian for hundreds of years previously. They didn't immediately recognise LPR and DPR though. In fact it took 8 years of provocation to get to that point. It's pretty clear they didn't want to intervene but were left with no choice. That's unlike the USA et al. who will invade a country for no reason at all. (See Project for the new American century for details.)

  2893. It's not defence, it's destroying the last Ukrainian reserves in a pointless offensive forced on them by the West. They can't displace the Russians they can only give them a bloody nose, even that seems to have failed due to inappropriate haste and an utterly incompetent leadership in Ukraine and the USA.
    2
  2894. He's only reading a script. Far better at than Biden to be fair 🤣
    2
  2895. ​ @g0tBlunt He starts by describing the very rapid advances the Russians are making west of Avdiivka and Bakhmut. So far so good. But then he says he's not concerned. That's the balderdash as these are extremely important towns for logistics to the rest of Donbas. They are so unconcerned that Macron has sent the foreign legion to Sloviansk.
    2
  2896. Applying Betteridge's law of headlines to your thumbnail the answer is "No Russia didn't finally run out of tanks". Or anything else. In fact it's NATO running out of weapons because the western MIC is more of a money laundering operation than arms production operation.
    2
  2897. Er Biden blew up Nordstream - allegedly.
    2
  2898. @saltysandman-c5m  I do, it means the missile follows a ballistic trajectory as if fired from a cannon. A parabolic path or "Gravity's Rainbow" as described in Thomas Pynchon's famous novel. This missile doesn't do that.
    2
  2899. @lukeamato423  I expect that they need to determine roughly where the warheads will be in order to intercept. We don't know precisely what this new missile does but we can assume it tries to be as unpredictable as possible. Suggestions are that it has variable power solid rocket boost, and skips off the atmosphere. Also the warheads themselves are powered and manoeuvrable to further complicate the situation. Given how well Russia has handled every other eye wateringly expensive US system, I fully expect Aegis and Thaad to be expensive junk too.
    2
  2900. ​ @morcheba2184 The answer is quite simple. The Russians don't need NK troops. Let's say there really are 10,000 of them in Russia and they are going to Ukraine (I don't believe there are) it wouldn't make much difference anyway. In my opinion the casualty ratio is probably 10 Ukrainian for each Russian. Putin said 5:1 but given the overwhelming firepower advantage I think that is a conservative estimate.

  2903. ​ @samweinstockweinstock8192  they haven't, It's a lie.
    2
  2904. Cormack talking nonsense about red lines. The only firm Russian red line is NATO attacking Russia, which is what long range NATO missiles fired at strategic targets in Russia would amount to. If it happens all bets are off.
    2
  2905. The Neocons still hoping for some kind of palace coup to allow their friends in Black Rock to plunder and balconize Russia. Never going to happen guys. hopefully after all this is over the Neocons will be so discredited nobody will listen to them again.
    2
  2906. It was a Patriot interceptor missile, you can tell by the fins. They seem very effective at intercepting cars and rivers, not so great at intercepting Kinzhals though.
    2
  2907. He has a very bad hand to play. The casualty figures from Ukraine as flat out lies. Russia is doing well militarily, economically and diplomatically.
    2
  2908.  @Interglacial_optimist  It's actually quite tiring 😫. Tobias Hamish Phil Sean and the rest repeat the same propaganda over and over. XYZ will crush Putin. Wrong every single time but it doesn't dent their optimism one bit. Meanwhile 1/5 of our military is unfit to fight, why are they getting paid?

  2909.  @knopkaplay0507  They had to get a Hobbit to pretend to be their president.
    2
  2910. Poor Mariella having to interview a real person rather than one of the rehearsed stooges she normally talks to. She can imagine UK politicians being keen on giving away UK territory because they are Globalists who love the EU, NATO and UN far more than the UK.
    2
  2911. Ukraine has zero chance of a military victory. They will never get the annexed regions back. They need to see sense and sue for peace before they become a landlocked failed state.
    2
  2912.  @pavel9652  I expect the Russians to capture the high ground of Chasiv Yar too. Perhaps at the same time looking at how they are advancing.

  2913.  @tonupharry  The Russian have been far more careful with their manpower than Ukraine has.
    2
  2914.  @ampleangel2262  It would be fabulous to see the chaos if Ukraine was admitted to the EU but it's never going to happen.
    2
  2915. Probably best to wait until the war has finished before declaring failure.
    2
  2916. That's never going to happen.
    2
  2917.  @Ofasia777  I thought they transitioned because the Ukrainians had burnt through all the old Russian weapons left with ex Sov Blok NATO countries and a few others.
    2
  2918.  @fv5855  A reference to the Navalny protests? It seems plausible that the attack was intended to take place at the Shamen concert. There is a photo of one of them scoping the venue a day or so before. This also fits the timescale of the warning to US citizens to avoid concerts. It would also have been before the election. This occasion was very heavily guarded due to the powerful people in attendance so that would have been a deterrence. This concert was not heavily defended and the guards were quickly disabled by the shooters.
    2
  2919. At least they can plausibly say they were doing it to feed their families. Not like the usual looting of trainers and iPhones.
    2
  2920. As it's NATO targeting, preparing and possibly firing the ATACMS that means NATO will cross Russia's redline if they attack inside Russia. If they hit anything critical to Russia we could all be vaporised very soon after.
    2
  2921. It's not a full scale war and the objective so far has been demilitarization. Russia has continued to take strategic territory smashing through the fixed defenses in the Donbas. And has also taken around 2 million Ukrainians off the battlefield.
    2
  2922. Elitist much? I thought America was the country of the self made man.

  2923. You are delusional.

  2924. There is always a choice. Mark my words, this will end very badly for Israel and perhaps the whole world.
    2
  2925. I expect these planes will prove to be as ineffective as the tanks. It's provides a distraction from the failed offensive. I suspect the underlying motivation is to keep the war going past the 2024 election in the USA.
    2
  2926. Do you think that perhaps if a big offensive is planned for the next few weeks that keeping the details secret until it's started might be the reason for postponing the Q&A. Meanwhile in the USA, Old Joe spends most of his time in hiding to avoid embarrassment. He can't manage a five minute news conference with supine lapdog media.

  2928.  @rayeverett8501 I don't see Putin as egotistical at all. I think he's done what he's done because he thought it was best for Russia. You might not agree with his actions but It's pretty clear his motivation was patriotic.

  2940.  @boink800  You're the botskiy mate. We haven't the men, the tanks or the ammo. We've already sent all our self propelled guns to Ukraine apparently. We don't bother cos there's that handy moat round our island fortress.
    2
  2941. I am, even if the brainwashed chatterati aren't. I remember the 80s when we had "Threads" on the TV and "Two Tribes" on the radio. The current crop of morons just have Times Radio and the Telegraph to misinform them of the risks.
    2
  2942. I'm pretty sure that the biggest threat to our security was "Climate Change". The weather was intent on destroying the British way of life and had to be confronted by taxing everyone. Now it seems that we may have been a bit hasty getting rid of all our heavy industry to China and India (because they are immune from "Climate Change") We can't send many more very expensive weapons to get blown up by cheap mines and FPV drones because we've run out and have no way to make more in a reasonable time.

    2
  2945. Prices for US consumers will not increase because of the tariffs. The USA has enormous economic power over it's import partners. They need the USA far more than the USA needs them, so they are going to be forced to reduce prices to make up for the tariffs. Net result is that the USA taxes the foreign supplier to trade with the USA, hence the "External Revenue Service". The Globalists hate this idea because they make their fortunes by exploiting foreign workers.

  2954. How much hay is TR going to make from the ludicrous North Korean troops in Ukraine story? Russia doesn't need troops or weapons from NK. It's just silly propaganda.

  2957. Zelensky is a pint sized dictator.
    2
  2958. Ukraine was never in charge of the war, it's clear that it was the USA. It's long been a plan to use Eastern Europe as cannon fodder in a war against Russia. The USA can claim to be uninvolved and avoid the kind of casualties which would have brought it to an end years ago, if they had been American rather than Ukrainian. So if the USA says it's over, it's over.

  2963. Keep saying it Ben and it might come true. Russia can beat Ukraine and it looks very likely that they can also beat NATO. We are a complete joke, we've offshored all our critical industry. We (UK) can't make as many shells in a year as they fire in a day. A few fancy fighter jets and missiles won't change that. They have just downed 7 Storm Shadows and blown up a patriot battery. They have done it without external military assistance despite all the disinformation about shells from North Korea etc. It's time to get a grip and realise project Ukraine has failed and failed miserably.
    2

  2967. I've yet to see one scrap of evidence that a single US vote was flipped due to "Russian election interference". The US deep state however has flipped many millions of US votes in many ways including calling the Hunter Biden's laptop "Russia Disinformation" They were also instrumental in installing Boris Yeltsin as Russian president.
    2
  2968. It's probably a lot more when the cost of the sanctions is considered. US companies lost 200 billion for a start. Then add in the inflation particularly higher energy costs. The sanctions are estimated to have cost the UK at least 120 billion pounds. Or about 60 winter fuel allowances but Starmer cares far more about Zelensky than UK pensioners.
    2
  2969. Just how hypocritical is it for the West to tell China not to supply Russia with lethal aid after sending tens of billions of dollars worth to their proxy Ukraine? Zelelensky is just a puppet so I assume the order to fight to the last Ukrainian came from Washington DC.

  2972. Incredibly reliable source Times 🤣 President Putin held an extensive press conference about the Oreshnik today, report on that. A precis for you: The Yuzhmash plant was totalled - billions of western dollars turned to dust. Russia has "several" Oreshniks built and ready to fire. Mass production of the Oreshnik has begun. The Russian general staff are creating target lists. Initial targets will include "decision making centres" in Ukraine.

  2973. "No one is above the law" 😑

  2979. Kick the worlds largest nuclear power off the security council because they intervened in Ukraine to protect their own security and that of ethnic Russians who declared UDI. But don't kick off the second largest nuclear power after they have intervened almost everywhere for no genuine rationale whatsoever. Even lying at the UN about WMDs in one case. Good luck with that. More likely the UN is discredited and the World splits into BRICS and something else.

  2987. It's not a threat, it's a promise. Why do we think we can keep atacking Russia and they won't respond?
    2
  2988. This is silly disinformation to distract from how badly Ukraine is doing on the battlefield.
    2
  2989. There is precisely zero evidence for either NK troops or 700000 Russian casualties. All the evidence suggests that the side with the catastrophic casualties is Ukraine. Probably well over a million with at least half being fatal.
    2
  2990. The big news is the unfolding disaster of the greatest counteroffensive of all time. So the Times gets this propagandist on for a spot of distraction. None of this needed to happen, it was all caused by the Zbigniew Brzezinski plan to take down Russia by expanding NATO to it's borders and placing first strike nuclear missiles there.

  2993. Challenger 2 is obviously completely unsuitable for the Ukrainian terrain, just like many commentators said they would be. They are also unmaintainable and actually a hindrance to the Ukrainians. Can we get a comment from Hamish De Breton-Gordon on this as he said the exact opposite during the hype leading up to last years defeated summer offensive.

  3004. The propaganda gets stupider and stupider. Russia is well known for being expert at winter warfare. So we should apply the principle that what they confect is often projection and what they are worried about is a Ukrainian rout this Winter. Everyone assumes the Russians are about to go on a massive offensive now that the Ukrainian one is a total failure. After losing pretty much all of their reserves they are at the weakest point of the whole war, while the Russians are at their strongest.

    2
  3014. Russia has just had a huge victory in Kursk. Nobody sensible thinks they have fared anywhere near as bad as Ukraine over this conflict. So they have absolutely no reason to accept a ceasefire at this point. Sergey Lavrov has stated that to Judge Napolitano in his fantastic interview which aired on YouTube today.
    2
  3015. What ransom? Russia never stopped oil or gas supplies. It was the West's sanctions which did that or at least attempted to. The latest failed sanction being the so called "price caps". The USA and UK were worried that Germany, with an industrial base entirely dependent on cheap Russian energy, would go soft and not stoke the destruction in Ukraine by supporting the Ukrainian forces. So they blew up the Nordstream gas pipe. Russia has stated it believes it was the UK under orders from the USA. "It's all done" says Truss' text to Blinken a few minutes after the pipeline went kaboom.
    2
  3016.  @APW554  True, the fleet has moved out of Sevastapol for now. They will probably return when Odessa has been captured/liberated. The actual HQ was never hit, only the above ground ceremonial building with nobody in it.
    2
  3017. Russia is still only using 15% of it's available forces in Ukraine. Meanwhile many Ukrainian women are being killed on the front line. But still these out of touch ideologues think that Russia can be beaten in Ukraine.
    2
  3018. I don't think the Russian top brass are worried about NATO at all. They just don't want US nuclear missiles stationed on their borders for a first strike on Moscow.
    2
  3019. There has been no breakthrough of the first Suroviken line, he's lying. Some infantry may have made it past in small groups but this does not constitute a breakthrough. These PR incursions have come at an incredible cost in Ukrainian conscript lives that the Zelelensky and Biden regimes couldn't care less about.
    2
  3020.  @weije093  You have that all totally wrong. The West demands that Ukraine shows progress recapturing territory. They have told their populations that the objective is to "free" Ukraine. If it's obvious that is impossible without escalation to WW3 public support dries up. So Ukraine uses it's barely trained cannon fodder and obsolete donated hardware to try to achieve something. In the process their newly constituted army is being slaughtered. Estimates are a casualty ratio of upwards of 10 Ukrainians for each Russian.
    2
  3021.  @KristieMAC1  Because they don't want the war to end with anything other than a Russian defeat. That's not a viable conclusion because Russia can't be beaten conventionally.

  3026. How many Patriot interceptors are there in the World? What is the replenishment rate. How many can be spared for Ukraine? It's not a question of money, they can create more debt. It's a question of actual things. And the West doesn't have a limitless supply of things. We don't have anything like the industrial base we used to have. We get our power from windmills which need diesel generators to keep going in winter. Uk can make in a YEAR 3/4 of the shells that Russia fires in a DAY.

  3031.  @tgapete01  Ukraine was NOT invaded. There was an existing civil war and Russia intervened to assist the LPR and DPR after they declared independence and signed a defence pact with Russia. Stoltenberg and Biden could have prevented that but they wanted the war as a pretext for the sanctions, which also failed.

  3034. "For a fugitive from international justice it was quite a welcome" Sky leans heavily into the absurdity of the "International Criminal Court".😂😂😂😂😂 Neither Russia, China or the USA recognises it, in fact the USA has a law that they will attack the Hague if the President is arrested. It's for little countries like the UK not the big boys The ICC has made a laughing stock of itself with these stupid charges against one of three most powerful leaders in the World.
    2
  3035. "WW3, hey nothing to be worried about". Er no! it is the single thing that everybody should be most worried about. Amazing that woke idiots are worried about the weather in a hundred years but not the thousands of millions of tons of explosive force of the World's nuclear arsenals.

  3038. Putin seems to be one of the few sane actors when it comes to the conflict in Ukraine. The maniacs are the ones in the West who have escalated this situation almost to the point of WW3. So Biden, Blinken, Nuland, Sullivan, Stoltenberg, Johnson, Von der Leyen, any Baltic state politician, most Polish politicians, all the blowhard "experts" that Times platforms. All of those are maniacs, Putin has been incredibly patient in my view.

  3050. ​​ @Zikar There's video evidence which supports that theory. It's also far more plausible than the narrative they are trying to push. Russia isn't losing, Ukraine is losing. 3 months of an offensive the Bidenistas have bet an election on and zero progress. So could be a false flag to give the media some material to whip up emotions or a misfired air defence or HARM missile. Not going to be the Russians in my view.

  3051.  @its_Today_  Ukraine is losing bud. It's an attrition war and Ukraine is running out of men. They have now enlisted the EU to round up the ones who escaped.

  3084. It's a good start, an agreement in principal for a ceasefire. But of course it's not in Russia's interest to do that right now because they are on the offensive and Ukraine's defences are crumbling. I think they will only do it when a solid peace deal is agreed with at a minimum the conditions stated last July. They agreed to withdraw from Kiev April 2022 and then Zelensky reneged on the peace deal after Bojos visit. They are not going to do that again in my opinion.
    2
  3085. What is this nonsense now. Russia and China have never been closer. Blinken is a total disaster as the USA's chief diplomat. He's wierd and unlikable and seemingly oblivious of the other side's concerns. US relations with both Russia and China have deteriorated immeasurably since "the adults" occupied the Whitehouse. We have an Obama/Clinton junta fronted by a geriatric who can't even read a teleprompter.

  3091.  @chimpansi2  I said it was a war zone. Whether Russia categorises the conflict as a war or SMO. is up to them. Zelelensky says it's a war as far as Ukraine is concerned hence the general mobilization.
    2
  3092.  @chimpansi2  Nope, nowhere near. I think "war" has a particular legal definition and Putin is a lawyer at heart so he declared the intervention an SMO. He could increase that to an anti terrorist operation if he wanted, short of declaring war. Vietnam wasn't a war as far as the USA was concerned nor was Iraq it seems.

    2
  3107. This article is as delusional as ever. Trump has very little leverage over Putin because Russia is winning. Ben's and TR's refusal to accept that simple fact reduces their credibility to zero. He does have almost total leverage over Zelensky because Ukraine is entirely dependent on the West for continued survival.

  3108.  @mrscooterdave  Exchange rate isn't the best measure of economic health. Inflation and growth are better. The Russian economy is growing well and inflation is falling. Same cannot be said for Germany. That economy is heading down the U bend.

  3109. It's a hoax based on modelling and propaganda. We all know the Earth is heating up from the last glacial period there is no evidence that man made CO2 has any effect on that. We also all know that CO2 is actually very low compared to the past and that is adversely affecting plants.

  3124. In fact there was the Minsk accords, codified as UN Resolution 2202 and agreed unanimously by the security council. the Russians abided by their part of the agreement whereas the western signatories, as well as Ukrainian, just considered it a stalling mechanism to give them time to create the first of the three Ukrainian armies that Russia has so far destroyed. Merkel and Poroshenko admitted as much and I'm sure the warmongering Obama regime, now back in the power with Biden/Obama 3.0, regarded it in the same way. Them there was the peace agreed in Turkey last March, a detailed report has just been published explaining how that was categorically denied, again by the Biden/Obama 3.0 regime, Boris Johnson delivering the message to Zelensky in no uncertain terms. They all thought Ukraine would win given the combination of war plus economic war, but as I've said they are incompetent and got that completely wrong.

    2
  3147.  @espen2729  "Kremlin talking points" 😂 The truth is the truth no matter who says it. It's actually a far more valid argument than the Budapest Memorandum "CIA talking point". Because memorandums aren't binding under international law but treaties are. And the independence treaty states that Ukraine should be neutral and non-nuclear.
    2
  3148. @AllanMogensen  What other options are there. Sanctions don't work and Ukraine has run out of meat.
    2
  3149. I don't think Putin was remotely bothered by Navalni. If you want to see a political class paranoid about one man then look at the entire western establishments pathological fear of President Donald Trump.

  3150. Did you post a video of yourself crying on TikTok 😢
    2
  3151. Right, so NATO can supply all weapons short of nukes (so far) to Ukraine but China can't send chips to Russia. China says they are neutral and that's a lie. But NATO says they are not participants in the conflict and that's the truth?. Western propaganda is either insane or so condescending that they truly believe the western public are morons.
    2
  3152. It's a breeching assault on a fortified area so losses are expected. The Russians can replace those losses and press on. The Ukrainians can't replace their losses and eventually they will collapse. These offensives are taking place all over the front line. Russia pushes in one place, the Ukrainians have to move reinforcement from another area, then the Russians push there. It's not sustainable and collapse is getting closer and closer.

  3160. Russia is entirely prepared for a long war. They are outproducing the entirety or NATO by at least 3 times for basic weapons and ammunition, much more for advanced weapons like air defence and missiles. Scott is peddling a fantasy to the ignorant and gullible.

An inconvenient fact is that it was probably considerably warmer at times in the recent past (thousands of years). The apparent current warming was due to picking the "little ice age" as the starting point for the infamous "hockey stick" graph. Don't assume scientists are any less greedy and duplicitous than anyone else.

  3186. Not with the current Ukrainian leadership but after a regime change to a less Russaphobic administration a settlement could be reached. The currently annexed oblasts will never be negotiable though.
    2
  3187.  @keith8609  The Russian people are highly supportive of both Putin and the war. They didn't want it but they see it as vital for Russian security. The West might make similar noises, for example rehashing the domino effect from Vietnam, but it really is a war of choice for them. My personal view is that at some point Zelensky and the rest will flee, or try to, chased by a mutinying Ukrainian army.
    2
  3188. We already know from the intercepted discussion by the German generals that UK troops have to program Storm Shadow. The Russians are well aware of that too. So if Lord Dave's scheme is followed the UK would be attacking Russia with UK missiles. What's to stop Russia doing the same to us?
    2

    2
  3190. Apparently the British army would run out of ammo in a day of fighting the Russians. Sending all our gear to Ukraine hasn't helped that. Still, pontificating about what the Russians may do is less stressful than solving these kinds of issues I suppose. Another bit of news is that Ukrainian conscripts, plucked off the street by press-gangs, have a life expectancy of around 4 hours in Bakhmut. No need to worry about alleged Russian human wave tactics when we are enabling that kind of slaughter.

This is what definitely happened with the Whitmer "kidnapping" and very likely Jan 6 too. They hate Trump supporters "smelly Walmart people" said Strozk who was one of those behind the fitting up of Trump in the Russia hoax.

  3195. We have a problem now that there is no reason for the Russians to give up anything. Previously the arms race favoured the West and the Soviet Union couldn't afford to keep up. Now the situation has reversed. The extremely bellicose reaction by the West to the SMO has made things far worse.

  3205. From Kyle Becker on X "BREAKING: Gold Star Families have released a powerful statement supporting former President Donald Trump in the face of an onslaught of dishonest media attacks. Trump recently visited Arlington National Cemetery to honor the lives of 13 servicemen who were killed in the Afghan War withdrawal. "We would like to express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to President Donald J. Trump for his presence at the recent Section 60 gathering, honoring our children and their fallen brothers and sisters," the Gold Star Families said. "On the three-year anniversary of the Abbey Gate bombing, the President and his team conducted themselves with nothing but the utmost respect and dignity for all of our service members, especially our beloved children," they added. NPR, a taxpayer subsidized media organization, ran a hit piece against Donald Trump claiming that he did not have permission to photograph or video record at Arlington National Cemetery. The media outlet claimed, "Two members of Donald Trump's campaign staff had a verbal and physical altercation Monday with an official at Arlington National Cemetery, where the former president participated in a wreath-laying ceremony." "A source with knowledge of the incident said the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump staffers from filming and photographing in a section where recent U.S. casualties are buried. The source said Arlington officials had made clear that only cemetery staff members would be authorized to take photographs or film in the area, known as Section 60." Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung refuted the allegations. "We are prepared to release footage if such defamatory claims are made. The fact is that a private photographer was permitted on the premises and for whatever reason an unnamed individual, clearly suffering from a mental health episode, decided to physically block members of President Trump's team during a very solemn ceremony," Cheung said. Arlington National Cemetery's deputy chief of staff was pictured with President Trump while he laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. CNN's Jim Acosta also accused Donald Trump of “politicizing” the deaths of the 13 fallen soldiers. Gold Star family members that Trump talked to personally said that they appreciated what he was doing to honor the memories of the fallen soldiers. None of the Gold Star family members said they had heard from Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. Arlington National Cemetery had informed Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz with an invitation to participate in a ceremony three times. According to a White House official, requests for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were made on July 28th and August 9th. This is a desperate attempt by the corrupt media to attack Donald Trump for honoring the lives of America's fallen soldiers, something both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have failed to do."

  3208.  @tophat593  No, just stating facts.
    2
  3209.  @deegon01  The 3-1 advantage rule only applies if all else is equal. The Russians artillery advantage changes the equation, it is a "force multiplier". The untrained Ukrainians arrived, were spotted and turned into red mist by the artillery. When few remained Wagner advanced. Slow progress but also very low losses for the Russian side.
    2
  3210. Sean says the West would like to impose a no fly zone over Ukraine. This would of couse be virtually impossible. The Russians would blast every NATO plane from the sky and if a Russian plane was engaged by NATO air defence that would also be eliminated. It would be WW3 and NATO would lose.
    2
  3211. Russia almost certainly didn't bomb the children's hospital. All the evidence points to a rogue Patriot PAC-3, which only seems to be able to intercept civilian buildings. Edit: It was actually probably a NASAMS air defence missile, the canards round the centre being highly distinctive.
    2
  3212. The media have gone out of their way to obfuscate that for some reason. The guy is clear, "when we looked at the CCTV again we could see someone lying down".
    2
  3213.  @markusschafer4895  They've cleverly used the old stuff from Soviet times but modernised them. T-72s with IR sights and fire control is as good as the western tanks sent to Ukraine. Meanwhile they have massively ramped up production of modern stuff. They only need more than NATO.

  3214. Russia doesn't care, the Trump team must know that, so this is theatre to occupy the media,

  3246. @lucyd2092  Nope that's you with your flags and pronouns.
    2
  3247. Artyomovsk is strategically important due to it's transport connections. But the real reason it was irrationally defended so fiercely by the undoubtedly very brave Ukrainian soldiers is that PR obsessed figurehead imbescile Zelelensky made it a cause celebre at his ridiculous fawning address of the US congress. It's the typical Lions led by Donkeys problem. Or Lions led by a shallow made for tv clown in this case.
    2
  3248. Exactly the same script as all the other "news" sources. Soledar not really taken, orderly withdrawal, unimportant anyway, just symbolic. Reality it was a military disaster for the Ukrainians driven by a PR obsessed Zelelensky and his Western masters. They lost thousands of troops defending it. Next to fall Bakhmut which is an even worse disaster for the Ukrainians. Then I think we will see the real Russian army appear and a few overcomplicated, too heavy British tanks with incompatible ammunition won't make the tiniest difference.

  3249.  @Moscow_Will_Burn  I'm still rooting for Michael Avanatti.

  3250.  @dpelpal  They are going to have to take Kiev to shut you up 😉. Even then it will be "didn't manage it in three days" 🤣🤣🤣
    2
  3251.  @frankshailes3205  I don't think your figures are correct. Probably 30-40,000. Ukrainians casualties are much much higher.
    2
  3252.  @TransoceanicOutreach  Probably not counting those because they were not official Russian soldiers. Could be Prighozen was exaggerating too considering he used Bakhmut as the pretext for his mutiny/coup attempt. They aren't making old men fight like Ukraine is, they are mobilizing reservists who may be older than usual recruits but have experience.
    2
  3253.  @TransoceanicOutreach  Well we shall see how well they fight. I said this offensive would be a military disaster based on exactly the reasons that are being used as excuses for the debacle. Needless to say know-it-alls disagreed. I'm saying now that when the Russians finally go it will be like nothing since WW2 and they will be unstoppable.

  3261.  @kennymiddleton3463  But so would we. That's MAD. Pooty plus entourage would survive so would Biden and his caregivers. You and I probably not. 90% casualties are expected for the UK in the event of a nuclear exchange. The USA and Russia would do better due to the lower population density. Most billionaires would also survive in their NZ bunkers.
    2
  3262. "These are not free elections" says Mark. Of course in the USA, a lab leaked pandemic ushered in universal mail in voting, even though a report has revealed in person voting was not a Covid threat. Mail in voting is recognised as a massive fraud risk and many believe it is one reason that a corrupt geriatric now sits in the Whitehouse occasionally. The regime which came with him has declared half the population as domestic terrorists after an obviously provocateured event. And is attempting to jail the front runner for this years election.
    2
  3263.  @Светлана-о6ф5т  It's certainly on course for collapse. All depends on what the Russians do in their summer offensive, if it happens.
    2
  3264. Chris Steele isn't "a former MI6 officer". He's a disgraced political smeer merchant who provided a bogus "dossier" to the Clinton campaign in 2016, which started the Russia hoax in the USA. He should really be in jail.
    2
  3265. The more propaganda pieces I see about these alleged spys, the more I doubt the narrative. I like the commentators humour mentioning "The Americans" who he said were Russian pretending to Americans. What we have here is a bunch of shady foreigners who came in via the EU. Are these typical British now 😉

  3270. The Ukrainians have outlied and outdied the Russians Brendan. The drone attacks are nothing compared to the continuing air campaign against Ukraine. The GRU in Kiev hit again. This time apparently with a brand new stealthy KH-50 cruise missile, which is said to be virtually unstoppable The Ukraine offensive has got literally nowhere, stuck trying to capture a village 5 miles from the start point, all while losing tens of thousands of men and the weapons we sent them They will never reach the Sea of Asov never mind Crimea, even Tokmak looks to be impossible at this point.

  3285. Plenty of lies from Richard. We have the 95% of the Russian army in Ukraine that Ben Wallace came out with. Also Russia couldn't stand up to NATO, well Wagner have just defeated NATO's best army in Artyomovsk. The idea that they would be afraid of us or any of the others is pure hopium. What they are concerned about is the war escalating to nuclear weapons, which is the only realistic way NATO could win.

  3290.  @NegativeSpacesPositiveEntropy  The US population have been fed a never ending stream of lies about Ukraine but even then most think the aid has been wasted and should have been used in the USA especially to seal the US/Mexico border.
    2
  3291.  @koukimonzta  Yes and the West lied about that. Ben Wallace famously claimed that most of the Russian army was in Ukraine when in fact it has mainly been the Donbas militias Wagner and Akhmat.

  3292.  @marktrotter8971  Most of the Russian army is still in Russia.

  3298.  @dunnomate3587  Nope, the lies and distortions come from the side where the money is. The Green boondoggle is a multi-trillion dollar industry.
    2
  3299. Where does Phil get his information from? I assume it's from the people who gave us "The Ghost of Kiev". All the mapping projects show the Russian Donbas offensive making big gains. Chasiv Yar, Toretsk, and Velka Novasilka, all highly fortified towns, are almost captured by the Russians. Pokrovsk is having it's supply routes cut off one by one and there are reports of Russian recon troops in the city itself. As for DPRK troops that is just a fantasy narrative for the media to run with.
    2
  3300. "Petit homme fusée".
    2
  3301. Ukraine should have breached the first Suroviken line on the first or second day of the offensive in June. This should have been accomplished with a massive armoured attack to clear a swathe of territory for the offensive to procede to the second and much tougher line near Tokmak. None of that happened. They couldn't even handle the minefield in the forward control zone in front of the first line. If they have got past the first line it will have been essentially on foot and only so credulous publications like the Times can report something favourable about an abject failure.

  3302.  @amilcareschettini5881  I've done some rudimentary fact checking on Trump Plaza casino in Las Vegas, which is what I assume you are refering to.

  3319. So the proxy war has been lost and the Russophobes are falling back on the colour revolution narrative. This isn't going to happen, the Russian public support Putin and the war - which they see as being between Russia and NATO. P.S. Some beardy prof reassuring me that Putin is bluffing about nuking London doesn't reassure me. All Times' Russian and military experts have been wrong about everything so far.

  3328. The media have been demonising Trump for 8 years. They created the condition for this to happen. But more recently Biden's DHS refused a request for more Secret Service for Trump. In fact there have been moves to strip him of protection completely. I'm sure that's just a coincidence 😏
    2
  3329. Zelensky is a kleptocratic dictator. And most of the people in the south east of Ukraine want to be Russian not Ukrainian. NATO is an aggressive alliance which shouldn't exist. So President Tump is just doing the right thing
    2
  3330. If you found a W84 warhead would you be able to make it go flash boom? The answer is no, because it contains a very sophisticated arming circuit (See "permissive action link"). It was the same for Ukraine with the Soviet Union's bombs. If they had tried to steal them, Ukraine would not have existed for very long after that.
    2
  3331. The whole kleptocrat Zelelensky regime is just for show. The real bosses are in Washington.
    2
  3332. Looks like the offensive has started. Telegram channels are reporting massive tank battles. So far it has not gone at all well for Ukraine. Very little ground taken for massive losses. The offensive is not going to last long at this rate.
    2
  3333. Is this another game changer?
    2
  3334.  @LarsRyeJeppesen  Sounds like another game changer. Which was the first one? hmm M777 howitzer which turned out to be too fragile for the required rate of fire. Then we had Himars, tanks, ATACMS, F16s (coming allegedly). None of them has worked so far, just endangered everyone's life.
    2
  3335. None of the Democrats do. They are what's known as "racially fluid", they have evolved to adopt whatever race is appropriate to get elected. "Beto" O'Rourke and "Pocahontas" Warren are two of the most highly adapted examples.
    2
  3336. Trump is fine, he actually gets tested unlike Biden.
    2
  3337.  @alanbeaumont4848  Trump seems perfectly cogent to me. Biden was incapable in 2020.
    2
  3338. The Russians have, for some time, called for a "New European Security Framework". They presented their de-escalation plans to Stoltenberg and Biden. Both rejected them out of hand resulting in the Special Military Operation in Ukraine. So in order to have a lasting peace these plans must be adopted to reduce tensions on Russia's border. That's the "Realpolitik" of the situation.

Zelensky rejected that deal (after allowing the Russians to withdraw) so the latest phase of the war was his decision.

Russia by contrast is entirely self-sufficient, they haven't had anything like the casualties of the Ukrainians, the consider the fight existential (this isn't Afghanistan) and can keep it up for years.

Both sides have acted ineptly at times the Ukrainian army now is very inexperienced and I don't rate Zelensky as anything more than a salesman.

  3500. Trump and Putin both want to avoid WW3 which is the most important aim of the talks between the USA and Russia. Renormalization of relations is the primary way they are employing to achieve that Ukraine is a side issue for both really. Trump is obliged to try to stop the war because he said he would and Putin has nothing to lose by talking. I think there is very little chance the Russians will accept a ceasefire before a peace deal. One possible exception people have suggested is to provide the opportunity for elections in Ukraine to get rid of Zelensky.

  3511.  @jeremymanson1781  The WEF has ideas about creating a Serf Empire. "You will own nothing and be happy". Russia could have taken Ukraine in 2014 but Putin believed the West about the Minsk accords - he actually thought our leaders were sane honest people. Also Russia wasn't in a good place to weather the inevitable sanctions. But instead of being peacemakers NATO built up Ukraine's army into probably the best in NATO (in Europe at the very least). That was destroyed in the Donbas during the first half of 2022. Then a second army was destroyed in the second half of 2022 during the pyrrhic victories in Kharkiv and Kherson. A third army was destroyed this summer trying to get past the first "Suroviken" line and in Bakhmut. There's nothing left.

They would love the Ukrainians to charge at their defences and be destroyed with even fewer Russian casualties. In short Mark is being deliberately obtuse and not giving an honest analysis.

This is when the USA can help induce a more favourable settlement using carrots rather than sticks.

  3639. ​ @karsten11553  Difficult to get firm evidence either way. I think it's likely that Ukraine organised the attack, with US/UK help, they are getting desperate. Personally I think the Russians probably let it happen on purpose (LIHOP) but that doesn't excuse the imbeciles who thought it was a good idea.

  3645.  @nsevv  It's not a stalemate. Ukraine is rapidly losing it's ability to fight. Zelensky is preparing a general mobilization because most of those who were trained up in the UK and elsewhere for the great counteroffensive are now either dead or wounded. The Ukes now have to fire all 12 deployable stormshaddows and once to have some chance that one or two will get through so they won't last long. The western armour, apart from performing worse than the T-xx, has been depleted too. At least 30% gone. Everyone is waiting to see if the Russians will advance or just let the Ukes and NATO waste even more men an machines trying to break through their defences with no air power and no air defence.

  3671.  @anthonywilson4873  Plenty of people claimed that 🤣 I remember the Ukrainian video showing a Challenger sweeping a dragons tooth away. The Ukes had bridging equipment for the ditches and mine sweeping tanks then the Challys would storm through, undefeated in battle, while the Orcs scattered back to Mordor or Rostov on Don or wherever. NONE OF IT WORKED! Probably largely because unlike the Ukrainian army the Russians destroyed last year these tank commanders were press-ganged off the street and rushed into battle without the year it takes to become effective, because decrepit Joe Biden needs to have a chance of fortifying another election next year.

If they were out to destroy Ukraine it would all look like Gaza rather than just a few fortified cities.

  3682.  @whisky3822  Ukraine has had a lot of Western aid and support and the initial Russian force was actually outnumbered 3:1. It was really just intended to get Zelensky to negotiate. A deal was struck and Russia pulled back from Kiev. But this was blocked by Biden (Blinken, Sullivan, Nuland) and Boris Johnson. So the Russians switched strategy and focussed on capturing the Donbass and eliminating the Ukrainian military while building their forces. NATO assistance and constant urban conflict has made that a long process.

Currently it's difficult for countries to do that under threat of sanctions or regime change by the USA. As dedolarisation accelerates, BRICS becomes ascendent and US power wanes it will become expedient to recognise them. Look at how Isreal has flaunted UN resolutions for years.

  3699.  @TDMoore  As long as Russia didn't object and could do something about it. The USA is currently in Syria stealing their oil. They also wrecked Iraq and Libya because the Project for a New American Century thought it was a good idea. The Argentinians invaded The Falkland Islands but we could do something about it back then. This is real geopolitics not the fake rules based order. Russia was able to invade Ukraine because China gave them the nod.

They thought sanctions would do it but they totally failed and actually backfired hurting the West far more than Russia. This offensive is on the exact same trajectory and is not only demilitarising Ukraine it is also demonstrating what an impotent paper tiger NATO is. Chip's analysis is deluded.

They have probably had over a million casualties at this point. 350,000+ dead.

  3795.  @hellious7670  Ok, just looked up SU24 its a bomber from nearly 60 years ago. It's not likely to take on an F35. The Russians wouldn't use it until all the F35s has been shot down. or otherwise disabled. That's the tactics they have employed in Ukraine. And that's why Russia still has a more or less intact air force while Ukraine hasn't. The question is, how well would an F35 perform against S-400,500,550 + airborne radars in the SU34 35 57 and that AWACS plane.. Stealth depends on radar angle too.

So tough they haven't even managed to get to the first real defensive line. So they have made them look useless along with all of the western weapons sent. The desperation is all the coping from the likes of Hamish DBG. (We don't hear much from that other blowhard Tobias Ellwood these days but I'm sure he would be coping and seething just as hard.)

  3892. The problem with this latest narrative is that all the "experts" said Russia was losing for two years. So they were either deluded (probable) or lying (also probable) or even a combination of the two. So it's very likely that the latest narrative of USSR 2.0 is also delusion or lies. The Russian have no need or desire to attack western Europe for land or resources so the only scenario in which they would is if we attack them. So the best solution is to give up delusions that Ukraine will destroy Russia on the battlefield, that the sanctions will destroy the Russian economy, that Ukraine will get any territory back or that there will be regime change in Russia. After accepting those facts we can then negotiate a new European security framework with Russia, which is what they offered Stoltenberg prior to the invasion.

  3942. The conflict is going fine for the Russians Tobias. They have just blown up probably a thousand tons of our donated ammo - including possibly our toxic uranium tank rounds. Ukraine has zero chance of winning and the big danger is that overinvested blow-hards such as yourself will delude themselves into thinking NATO would win if they get directly involved. The Russian economy is doing far better than the UK and everyone wants to join them in BRICS. Project Ukraine looks about ready to finally fail completely and I worry that people like you will want to use a tactical nuke as a suicidal last resort.

  3952.  @ohdearearthlings1879  The problem is that we need Russia more than Russia needs us. We need oil, gas, food, fertilizer, uranium etc. They don't need BMW, Rolls Royce, McDonald's or Gucci. We are replaceable and they aren't. Germany looks like it's heading for economic destruction because it's cheap energy has been cut off. It's being deindustrialized. Ukraine is not worth that pain, it's not vital to us. It's only importance is as a proxy to damage Russia. So everyone finds a way to cheat the sanctions. That way we can pretend to care about Ukraine but minimise the economic damage to ourselves.

I think this coup attempt was probably the result of western intelligence, despite Biden's denials, and was the event they have been predicting since the conflict started. Even after everything Putin is still far more popular with the Russians than any western leader is with their populus so my view is that dreams of regime change from inside are now over.

Clinton nixed all that in 1999 which is a big reason we see a change in heart by Putin. The invasion of Serbia was another. Attempts to annex Georgia and Ukraine as US/EU satellites was the final straw.

The alternative view is that expanding NATO to Russia's border was the aggression, as were the two coups in Ukraine, building up Ukraine's army etc. The extreme reaction by the West to a minor border dispute gives credence to the Russian rationale in my view.

  4034.  @redbone5363  I can't see how they can lose militerally. The only way they could have reasonably been defeated was economically by the sanctions, leading to some kind of regime change. But they have completely backfired and are causing great economic problems for the West particularly UK and Europe. The economic genius who thinks banning Russian diamonds will do anything needs medical help. And Russia isn't being isolated from most of the World. What we are seeing is the dismantling of the "liberal rules based order" and the proponents of that are not taking it very well.

  4035.  @pleaseignore3055  Not really copium. Russia has had a very good week and Ukraine a terrible week. There are reports they lost nearly 2000 men on the Bakhmut flank attacks. Meanwhile they now own a tiny sliver of the city. They have lost a Patriot battery. They have also lost thousands of tons of ammo. My view is there will be no counteroffensive now.

America went into Iraq blitzkrieg style and "won" but they only wound up holding a part of Baghdad - the Green zone. Same in Afghanistan. In other words they didn't actually win and subsequently got kicked our again. Russia goes for attrition and demilitarisation. The Americans never demilitarised Iraq that's why they lost in the end.

  4039. Talking heads are already talking about the NEXT counteroffensive because they know this one coming is likely to be ineffective. Remember that WE are actually paying for all and enabling all this destruction and that our deranged political and media class are the ones who are cheering it on and also likely profiting from it. War is a scam and we are the suckers in this case along with the poor Ukrainian people.

  4052. NATO is a dangerous alliance for the UK because it requires us to defend countries in Russia's back yard which have no strategic value to us. It's complete madness because we would have great difficulty defending ourselves never mind one of the Baltic states.

  4053. 2016 was rigged by the Dems, FBI, DOJ, and media these are the anti-democratic elitist grifters. This has just been confirmed by the John Durham special council report. 2017 sees the soft assination of General Flynn, FISA court fraud. 2018 was rigged by Mueller as part of the Russia hoax. Trump associate being politically prosecuted. Then there were the two entirely bogus impeachments. 2020 had the mail in ballot fiasco. 2022 also. The great thing about Trump is his indefatigability, dogged courage and downright pigheaded stubbornness so he's putting himself through it all again out of a sense of duty.

  4054. "China can't beat the US in Taiwan" sounds a lot like "Russia can't beat NATO in Ukraine". I would say both notions are gold plated hubris. The reality is that the West can't beat Russia with China and others, luckily non of these countries want ant part of us or we would be toast.

  4057. It's getting way past time to cut and run from Ukraine. They have no chance against the Russian war machine the counteroffensive has proved that. There has been no breakthrough Yuriy Sak is a lying sack of you know what. We are approaching the point of the final escalation which is direct war between the West and Russia. This will very likely lead to a nuclear exchange and tens of millions killed. The UK would be obliterated in that event. Ukraine and US hegemony is simply not worth it.

  4064. ​ @evaluateanalysis7974  Ukraine had the second largest de facto NATO army back in 2022. They are only afloat because of massive foreign aid approaching a trillion dollars. Russian GDP per capita adjusted for purchasing power is $40k according to the World bank. This is also misleading because a great deal of western GDP is just moving money. Russia produces things and food, in the long run that will be most important.
    1
  4065.  @evaluateanalysis7974  It was NATO trained. The final straw came when Blinken told Putin the USA would site nukes in Ukraine. I think it was intended to provoke the invasion because they thought Ukraine with western support and Russian sanctions could actually win. As for small countries, how is the West doing against the Houthis?

Seizing Russian foreign exchange assets would destroy confidence in the western banking system.

  4080.  @geofflepper3207  The guy makes a number of evidence free claims to "prove" that if only Ukraine can keep going over the winter then Russia will eventually lose. The evidence free claims are that "Russia is having to use outdated weapons", "is getting short of manpower" and "is relying on Iran and North Korea". To counter each claim: The Russians have cleverly used their Soviet stockpiles of weapons systems for 2 1/2 years - this doesn't mean they are not also producing brand new ones. They have been increasing their manpower, largely through volunteers, for the last 2 1/2 years and also minimising casualties by not engaging in big arrow offensives. They might use Iranian and NK weapons, it doesn't mean they have to. So the guy is just spreading the same ignorant propaganda we've heard for 2 1/2 years.

  4081. You folks are clutching at straws. President Trump's only concern is America's safety, security and prosperity.

They blunder into minefields without any top cover and get blasted by artillery helicopter gunships and glide bombs. It's like everything else created by the decrepit Biden and his idiot regime - a total disaster for the poor schmucks on the ground. Don't be confused, this is NATO (mainly USA) vs. Russia using Ukrainian conscripts and sheep-dipped western "mercenaries" - and they are getting the snot kicked out of them. Well done for planting a flag miles from the bulk of the Russian army.

My thesis is that the Warsaw pact was a buffer zone between Russia and the West and the same could have been achieved through neutrality. But the Globalists have designs on Russia and they have used coups and other devices to install useful idiots to sign those countries up to the EU and NATO.

  4136.  @franciscomap75  I'm more of a Globalism sceptic and see that as our enemy. So as Russia is giving the Globalists a proctology exam that's alright by me. Russia was clearly going to invade Ukraine, everyone knew that would happen if the West pursued NATO membership for Ukraine but they installed a pro west president and pushed for it anyway. I feel very sorry for the Ukrainian people who have been completely abused by the USA UK EU and NATO with the likes of Soros, Schwab, Gates, Fink et al behind them. These nincompoops thought that the economic sanctions would work but they were dead wrong and now the Ukrainian people have paid the price for that hubris.

  4143. Putin was clear that he wants the offensive to continue as it's going so badly for the Ukrainians. We have no idea what actually happened with this coup. The western media has been promoting the idea of a Wagner led coup for some weeks. This has led people to believe the west was involved in provoking planning or paying for it. So it actually reinforces the narrative that the war is between Russia and NATO. I expect it will give Putin the rationale to take the gloves off, to use a boxing metaphor, when the Russian offensive begins.
    1
  4144. Ukraine has got the most experience of any army in Europe today of having their tanks blown to bits. This is the reason they need more so that they can get them blown to bits or perhaps captured by the Russians giving them the opportunity to reverse engineer the amazing top secret armour. Apparently Germany won't be able to send mothballed Leopards for a full year so they would have to send tanks currently in use by the army which will not be a popular policy. Finland can't send theirs because they are a but concerned about the Russians too. Poland might send some but if I were Polish I would prefer them to guard my border rather than having them get blown up by barely trained Ukrainian conscripts.

  4214. it's very clear that if Trump's request for the National guard had been honoured that there would have been no Jan 6 incursion into the Capitol. Pelosi and her staff were responsible for that and effectively let it happen on purpose. The FBI still haven't found the pipe bomber almost like that was an inside job too.

  4215. It's been a war of attrition from the start. That's what "demilitarisation" means. Actually they have also attrited NATO at the same time. Ukraine has no chance and will probably collapse after the Russian winter offensive.

  4216. Putin is almost as immune to embarrassment as a Times military analyst. The Russians are entirely focused on capturing Donbas and have simply contained the troops in Kursk. Phil knows he's talking nonsense but his lack of embarrassment is a great help for him.

A bit of theatre to impress the soft heads and Woke warriors but the reality is that the counteroffensive has completely failed and Ukraine has lost the majority of the men assigned to it along with the majority of the arms supplied to them.
    1
  4236. The Russians have adopted a fighting style specifically to avoid huge losses. That began in 2022 with the Kharkiv and Kherson withdrawals, mistakenly attributed as Ukrainian victories. Since then they have adopted stand off attrition warfare to cause as many Ukrainian casualties while minimising their own. It's been a very slow process but it has allowed the Russian forces to build up entirely from volunteers while Ukraine has been ground down, now almost to the point of collapse.

Soon the Russians will have some Challenger tanks to reverse engineer thanks to a deluded UK political class who think they still rule the world.

  4248.  @ronnrayy5449  ...just to expand a little. The Russian central bank raised interest rates from 7.5% to 12%. The USA couldn't do that. They have had to creep rates up 1/4% at a time because the financial system is so precarious. Russia isn't in debt like the USA. This is probably the most likely way that the USA will collapse into anarchy.

  4264.  @Withnail1969  The assumption is that the air raids targeting the electric grid last year were really to expose the Ukrainian air defences.

Meanwhile Russia and China are doing pretty well.

  4282.  @deelicious8819  Western companies pulled out of Russia in a process known as "cutting one's nose to spite ones face". All the food and clothing franchises have been replaced, in situ, by local equivalents. This is one reason the Russian economy is doing so well. Don't know about cars, Russian autos don't have a great reputation. Apparently Moscow is filling up with Chinese vehicles which are as good as the German ones. So the sanctions have actually helped Russia and China develop indigenous industries. Germany is finished industrially because either Ukraine or the USA blew up their cheap energy supply.

It's a potential technical breach of a statute of the Geneva convention most people will never have heard of. And of course it's just an indictment. Now contrast that with Bush and Blair who invaded a country due to supposed WMDs that didn't exist. The weapons inspectors Scott Ritter and David Kelly were clear there was no evidence of them existing. They were never found and Colin Powell also lied at the UN about "Mobile Biolabs" No need to search high and low through the Geneva convention to find a crime there is there?

It's widely expected that they will prove the CIA, FBI and possibly the Isrealis were behind them and that's my guess in this case too.

  4338. He's not a free man, he's a convicted felon. He was effectively tortured into the plea deal the same way the J6 protesters have been. The US government didn't need to prove their legal theory and this will be used as a prescedent in future cases.

  4360. Sounds like the kids were evacuated like children were in WW2. Why didn't the parents accompany them? The Russians evacuated Kherson to protect the ethnic Russians from the Ukrainian NAZIs.

  4361.  @williwipfel6  A variant of this narrative keeps cropping up. Whenever Russia evacuates civilians they are "kidnapping them". "They have to sing the Russian national anthem". That's "indoctrination" according the twitchy correspondent. Should be sending them to drag shows I suppose.

  4362. So the highly trustworthy and honest Ukrainians claim Russia is going to blow up the nuclear plant, Chernobyl 2.0, but they are the ones who have shelled it continuously for a year and want to attack it with the weapons donated by the West. Have I got that right?

  4365. Matt is lying through his teeth. The Russians and Putin in particular have been careful to limit the war and have had the utmost concern for civilian casualties. It's been the vile Neocons and Globalists, in the USA, UK and EU who have forced Ukraine to fight and escalate including this incredibly unwise offensive. They are the enemies of humanity and peace.

  4366. Mr Poroshenko is a likely future resident of the Black Dolphin retirement home, that's if he doesn't fall foul of his own people first of course. So it's understandable that he's happy about any delays to this event. But the way it's looking on the battlefronts it seems unlikely that the aid package, most of which stays in the USA paying the MIC and thence the silly flag waving US politicians, is not going to do much.

  4376.  @_HMCB_  The "gains" are the destruction of another Ukrainian army for no significant territorial gain. Also the Russian force has increased by around 700,000 men. As for morale etc. I don't believe the media narrative about that. It's Ukraine with terrible morale and low supplies.

  4380. Mister Vindman is the pipsqueak from the first bogus Trump impeachment. He's a complete joke and totally biassed. It's very likely that the missiles were Ukrainian S-300s that either went astray or were deliberately used in their ground attack mode by Mister Vindman's friends in the Zelensky regime. (In the impeachment it was said he was told he could be Ukraine defence minister) Times, please stop trying to start WW3. This is a regional conflict in Russia's back yard and nothing to concern us.
    1
  4381. Russia made the deal to have a partial blockade of Ukraine but not be seen as causing a food crisis. The West welched so they have blown up the ports and will have a full blockade now. This meeting was never about the grain deal, that was a lie by the West It was about a new gas hub in Turkey and to reprimand Erdogan for releasing 3 ASOV commanders, another broken deal.

  4382.  @Jack-e5t  Even as an armchair economist I've heard of Purchasing Power Parity. So on the international money market a rouble might be exchanged for so much but at home it actually purchases a different amount of real goods and services. We saw this with Tucker Carlson's basket of goods from the supermarket. He bought the same as the USA for 1/4 of the price in dollars according to the exchange rate. So a Rouble is actually worth 4x the supposed rate. If you account for that then Russia has a larger economy than Germany.
    1
  4383.  @emm_arr  It's not a threat it's an observation. Lavrov has stated this is very nearly a direct confrontation between NATO and Russia. As it stands Russia can consider supplying weapons to make the NATO countries belligerents in the war. They have shown remarkable patience so far. Will fighter jets be a final red line? What if they operate out of Poland? If there is direct confrontation all escalation scenarios lead to MAD.

  4396. Stephen, as it stands Russia has no need to use tactical nuclear weapons as they have won the war in Ukraine. Russian commentators are simply warning NATO not to get directly involved because that raises the risks that they are used if they defeat the Russian army and the Russian state is in danger. Personally I think the current Russia armed forces would likely beat NATO in Ukraine because it's unlikely Turkey would turn up to fight and the rest of NATO has been seriously degraded by sending arms to Ukraine. But then there is the possibility of the lunatics in the Biden regime using tactical nukes and all bets are off.

In thanks for that, and because he was working on a gold backed currency for Africa, the USA and UK bombed Libya into the stone age. They then unleashed the Jihadis he thought he was helping them fight to disembowel him with a bayonet. Moral of the story, the Globalists have no morals or real friends.

The Challengers would be as out of date as the Leopard 1s by the time they got to Crimea at that rate. And Ukraine would have to be producing cannon fodder on a cloning production line in one of the many Biolabs we've heard about. Meanwhile I'm sure the Russians would be standing idly by not going on the offensive themselves as they are expected to soon.

If he's so popular as he claims that will be easy. Nothing wrong with contacts with opposition leaders, none of whom are pro Russian by the way Times, just in case he loses.

  4410. ​ @dalecrocker3213  For Zelensky PR victories are real victories.

  4413. Ukraine is losing the war and will lose. The boomerang sanctions have failed. Putin will not be deposed. There will be no Russian colour revolution.

  4414. @de caesaris Leak says 7 Ukrainians dead for every Russian. Other reports say most experienced Ukrainian soldiers have been lost. The Ukrainian economy is destroyed and the state is a charity case payed for by western taxes. NATO cannot keep supplying arms as they have been attrited by the conflict too. No amount of happy talk by stuffed shirts safe in their studies in England are going to change that.

  4416. The ease that this coup was put down and the total lack of support for it shows how secure Putin is. There are many theories why Prigozhin is still alive, which has surprised many people. Simple reason could be clemency for his deeds in the conflict and elsewhere. This also shows Putin as magnanimous in victory which would be useful when surrender terms are being negotiated with Ukraine. Another possibility is that Prigozhin is a western intelligence asset but he was acting as a double agent to expose other fifth column assets in Russia by going through a charade of a coup.

Germany reportedly has 20,000 shells in reserve and a lot fewer tanks, Gepards, Marders etc. than it had before. The 20,000 shells would last one day at Russian rates of fire. This whole debacle is the latest and greatest example of Joe Biden's foreign policy disasters.

  4456. The air campaign has been mainly to degrade the Soviet era integrated air defence, which was working far better than the Patriot did 🤣.

Hopefully BRICS will remain a trade body without all the homogenisation and demographic manipulation of the EU and the UK joins it one day too.

  4459. The West "winning" in Ukraine is what triggers WW3. Russia has no plans to move futher west than Ukraine. We have nothing to offer them. Rather it's the west's decades long plan to surround, contain, destabilise, overthrow and plunder Russia for it's natural resources which has provoked the Ukraine conflict.

  4460. Here is the problem, NATO is a joke. Russia is completely prepared to fight NATO. NATO is totally unprepared to fight Russia.

  4478. No amount of money will make any difference to the Ukraine conflict. There are no Javelins or 155mm shells etc. to buy. We have deindustrialised because the fall of the Berlin Wall was supposed to usher in a time of peace. But the West used it as an opportunity to expand NATO to the Russian border against promises made in 1992.
    1
  4479.  @emm_arr  Been comprehensively proven. From witnesses and memos. But just like the Minsk accords the assurances were given in bad faith and the result of that is the destruction of Ukraine. It took 30 years to come but was inevitable because the West never really wanted to get along peacefully.
    1
  4480.  @emm_arr  Well it's pretty clear who has advanced on whom over the last 30 years. It's on record the Minsk accords were a sham. The USA lies about it's own citizens never mind about other countries. So my judgement, which is infinitely more important than yours is that the West has caused this crisis.
    1
  4481.  @emm_arr  Actually they were vassal states of the USSR (Warsaw pact) Although Ukraine was actually part of the USSR. Cuba decided to host Soviet nuclear missiles which wasn't well received by the USA. So countries in a superpower's back yard are not as free as one might expect. That's realpolitik. Now Germany isn't allowed Russian gas and China isn't allowed to arm it's ally according the USA at least. So much for sovereignty. As for smaller countries they have very little say and are expected to vote as instructed in the UN.

  4502. The Times is massively promoting this ephemeral "Steiner's offensive". Sun Tzu said "Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.", the Times and other delusional UK media mouthpieces are desperately trying to do the latter for Ukraine. It's no good, you are just erasing the credibility of the UK's newspaper of record. Ukraine is losing badly, their ability to mount a counteroffensive has been thwarted by Russian attacks on warehouses and troop concentrations behind the front line, as well as gross incompetence and corruption by the Ukraine leadership.

  4504. ​​ @marviwilson1853  Ok, you shamed me into actually watching it, which was a tiresome experience. First of all we are getting "what we know" from the BBC's ministry of truth which isn't a great start 🤣. So "what we know" is that a satellite image from unspecified source shows some damage caused by an unknown act which deffo wasn't more Ukrainian HIMARS hits (evidence ?) That the reservoir was very full (didn't BBC verify that it was because Ukraine had opened the gates of the next dam upstream). So we need to believe it was probably some kind of accident. (Or it could have been one of those surface and underwater drones the Ukrainians have been attacking the Black sea fleet with) The media are experts at leaving out information (lying by omission) and the BBC is one of most expert at that.

  4538.  @angiemack5325  Same way they always do it, by taking territory around the target location. Adviika is very heavily fortified and constantly resupplied. So the Russians will aim to halt resupply and rotation by cutting the supply routes. They call this "operational encirclement". If they totally cut off the location, even for infantry on foot that's full encirclement.

The truth is somewhere between those extremes.

    1
  4553.  @Aanthanur  That's not a rational argument. The hoax has been driven by behavioural psychologists, rather than climate scientists. They no doubt came up with the "Flat Earth" smeer. They also developed the "Extreme weather" hoax, which was intended to scare people because nice weather, more crops, greener deserts, defrosted tundra and 3mm a year sea level rise isn't scary at all. Note: the effects described above are due to our being in an interglacial period of a million year ice age. And CO2 is great for plants wherever it comes from.
    1
  4554.  @Aanthanur  Hmm last reply got censored - nothings says science like deleting contrary arguments.. In fact eco nuts are the Flat Earther's. They don't even realise that cyclical climate change is entirely natural. That Earth has been far warmer in the past,. CO2 levels far higher. Or even that we are in an ICE AGE and have been for a million years. P.S. Sabine's home country is rapidly being deindustrialised because of the "Green" ideology.

  4557. The West may have been "drip-feeding" weapons and ammo but that's because we don't have them to give. NATO's ground forces are a joke only the USA and Turkey have appreciable armies and Turkey's is still smaller than Ukraine's de-facto NATO army at the start of the war. Get real folks, NATO couldn't beat Russia in Ukraine using conventional forces.
    1
  4558. We know the Ukrainians have military in civilian districts. Civilian casualties are very emotionally charged that's why USA uses the euphemism of "collateral damage", sounds like a problem with ones bank account not killing babies and that's the point. Nobody in the media were particularly bothered about all the babies killed in Iraq, Afghanistan etc. because they were, as Madeleine Albright arch Neocon warmonger put it, a price worth paying. But as we are all in with this final chance to destroy and balkanise Russia, using Ukraine as cannon fodder and for propaganda, Ukrainian civilian life is extremely valuable to the people in charge.

  4568. @rmjstrikecat  It's war, things go bang on both sides. But on the whole Ukraine is losing. It's very unlikely they shot down more than a few of the Geran drones because their air defence is depleted. We are having to send them a Houthi style ground launcher for some antiquated ex soviet air to air missiles, which are no good otherwise because their air force is also depleted.

They offered a deal to Stoltenberg which was rejected out of hand. They offered a deal to the Biden regime which was also rejected out of hand. They negotiated a deal with the Zelensky regime which Boris Johnson ordered Zelensky to reject. They are still willing to make a deal but the West, controlled by the Globalists, will probably reject it out of hand.

  4578.  @SL1PSTAR  They are all perfectly true and verified by impeccable sources such as.

    1
  4579.  @mcloutier5  The terms were all far better for Ukraine than fighting an unwinnable war and being made to surrender - which is what is going to happen. All deals demand neutrality of Ukraine - which was a requirement of the independence treaty too. Pre SMO deal would have kept Ukraine intact with ongoing discussions about Crimea. March 2022 would have made the Donbas an autonomous region of Ukraine. Budapest required the loss of the four regions and Crimea but retention of Odessa, Dnipro, Kharkiv etc. This may still be available to a Trump peace deal.

Amazingly given all that, Trump's administration was far more successful than Geriatric Joe Biden's regime.

  4584. The Russians are playing "pendulum" with the overstretched Ukrainians. They attack in Kharkiv, so the Ukrainians have to send troops from other fronts. Then they attack on those other fronts. Ukraine is on it's last legs and hasn't got the manpower to resist this.

Nobody in their right mind is going to want to fight the Russians in Ukraine. The USA would have Vietnam war level of casualties in a few weeks not 10 years. Same goes for the UK, I've been clear with people that although I support the army I don't support this insanity.

  4617.  @jerrymcgeorge4117  That's just propaganda. They actually like most Ukrainians. A good proportion are ethnic Russian and most of the rest Slavs. That's why they didn't go full bore initially. They wanted autonomy for the LPR DPR and neutrality and thought a little aggressive diplomacy would effect that. Unfortunately the galaxy brain that is Zelensky under instructions from his Neocon masters said no. So a low scale war progressed until NATO intervened with weapons and financial aid and now it's more like total war.

  4618.  @garretttobin7451  I think that's the issue with regards to this proxy war. The Russians have far more firepower and much better logistics than the USA in this theatre. The European militaries are a joke compared to either the USA or Russia.

Zelensky was voted in on a platform of implementing the Minsk accords but he never did. Instead he demanded nuclear weapons at the Munich security conference. The Russians gave him an easy way out in April 2022 but he was too dumb to take it.

This time, outside of the USA and vassals like the UK, it looks like the World is totally against Israel's disproportionate plan to "eliminate Hamas" which looks far more like it will be an ethnic cleansing of another chunk of Palestine. The Israelis are well out of their depth this time and would be well advised to think again in my opinion.

  4695.  @crawdadad  It's an extremely cynical plan and apart from the negative diplomatic fallout from everyone understanding it due to the likes of Austin, Romney and Graham stating it out loud, did it work? I would say no it didn't work. Russia is stronger militarily now than it was in Feb 2022. It has a far bigger and battle hardened army, I would say the best in the World right now. There have been economic issues with the sanctions but they have been largely neutralised. Uncoupling from the Western financial system has forced both Russia and China to accelerate BRICS and it's parallel financial system . Diplomatically outside of the USA and vassals Russia and Putin are superstars for standing up to the hegemon. Nobody even likes Biden, but everyone outside of the Globalist system now loves Putin.

  4704.  @leecrumble3921  Well I expect when they finally admit this has failed the reason will be "Against NATO doctrine, Zaluzhny failed to concentrate sufficient military force in one area to breakthrough the Russian defences". The blame game has already started. It won't be the idiots of the Biden regime's fault, you can bet your bottom dollar on that 😁
    1
  4705.  @petertwiss4215  They have to cross minefields. Scott Ritter says that a breach like that is only possible if the enemy artillery has been suppressed along with the air power. So there is a possibility to repair or recover tanks with their tracks blown off. This hasn't happened. The tank hits a mine and is disabled then artillery or a Lancet destroys it. The Ukes needed more artillery but we've run out. Also air defence and air power. The offensive was never going to work, many "Putin apologists" said that before it started but the Galaxy brains in Washington pushed for it anyway.

  4708.  @zedeyejoe  Great, they might get to the first real defensive line sometime. "Not one destroyed by enemy action." I wouldn't keep saying that, it won't age well. When they finally appear and get blown up they will claim it's because they weren't using the latest armour.
    1
  4709.  @zedeyejoe  Most places 3 deep some up to 5. The strategy apparently is to accept breaches of the first line (pretty unlikely in my view) then bring up reserves to the flanks and create "cauldrens" (kettling ). They haven't reached that first line yet.

  4718.  @disorganizedorg  Until Space X crew dragon, the only way to/from the ISS was with the Russians and their tried and tested technology.

Very much like western weapons systems it was extremely expensive and didn't perform anywhere near as well as the hype.

  4719.  @tonupharry  The Buran was a success but I expect the fall of the Soviet Union got in the way of it being used. I believe the Russians thought that the Shuttle had a secondary role as hypersonic bomber and that may have been one reason to come up with their own version. You could say Dream Chaser is a copy of the shuttle too. Lifting body designs are always going to look similar.

  4720.  @tonupharry  We've seen a lot of Ukrainian tanks blown up lately. The turret schtick is getting a bit stale. Where are the Challengers?

So get some witnesses to testify that some of the kids the russians saved from being killed may have not been clearly instructed on what was happening and the ICC has it's "preponderance of evidence" to crank out an arrest warrant on an arcane statute of the Geneva convention. The lap-dog media run with this story all day, not that there is a historic middle eastern peace deal currently being brokered by Russia and China, or that the Farmers and Citizens Party has taken control of the Dutch Senate or the impending financial meltdown etc. Same kind of situation in the USA where it seems some kind of convoluted legal theory is being employed to indict President Trump.

  4729. The USA unilaterally withdrew from the both the Intermediate Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty and the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.

As for the ZNPP it seems likely the Ukrainians hoped to scare the IAEA/UN into mandating a peacekeeping mission making it easier to progress in that area without Russian troops.

We always have a "good reason" of course "WMDs" is a popular pretext "Human Rights" etc. Russia was threatened by a potential NATO army in it's soft underbelly and acted to defend itself after nearly a decade of diplomacy which the West treated with derision. So spare us the emotional propaganda. President Trump is trying to bring peace while the EU and NATO have tried to start WW3.

  4777. He literally didn't "try to overthrow the government". J6 is the classic big lie, repeated loudly and often enough until the low IQ MSM consumers treat it as truth. It's clear the violence was instigated by government operatives. Pelosi and the DC mayor blocked the National Guard that Trump had authorised. Even then the vast number of people who entered the Capitol building were entirely peaceful. The J6 committee was a kangaroo court, like all the lawfare currently in progress including the ridiculous "fraud" case where the fraud is being committed by the prosecution and enabled by the weirdo judge with an entire TDS infected family. The protest itself was over the obvious "irregularities" in the election after a highly convenient pandemic caused by a US government enabled bioengineered virus.

Once again the West is fighting the last war rather than this one. When the Rouble fell in the 90s it caused immense damage to the Russian economy due to Russia being an importer of food and technology which caused inflation, and also because the banks had dollar denominated international finance which became much more expensive leading to a banking crisis. None of that applies now as Russia is massive exporter of food and energy, alternate supply lines of technology have been developed and the banks have already decoupled from western finance. Lower exchange rate means more Roubles for their exports.

  4802.  @rogerwilco5918  Latest info is that apparently 1 launcher was fully disassembled and another partially disassembled. There is a video circulating which shows approximately 30 interceptors fired in 2 minutes. The suspicion is that it was a desperate attempt to protect the battery. It's plausible that other missiles were fired, similar to the AGM-160B which accompanied the Storm Shadow attack, which could spoof the Patriot radar.

The unexplained fire perhaps being caused by an undetected missile strike. Now as for the 200 HIMARS. We can see they are being regularly shot down and they are also apparently being hacked or jammed. They are not getting through unlike the vast majority of Russian missiles and drones despite the garbage coming from Ukrainian officials.

  4836.  @CMB21497  Solidar gone, Bahmut will follow shortly. Ukraine forces pull back to Kramatorsk and Sloviansk. As I understand it, this is a much weaker set of fortifications. When those are gone then there is nothing but rolling fields and no protection from the Russian artillery and perhaps heavy bombers. So why do you think Zelensky wasted so many Ukrainian lives to defend Solidar?

  4837. @E KL War of attrition. Demilitarise Ukraine by killing, capturing or severely wounding sufficient Ukrainian soldiers such that the forces cease to be an effective fighting force. At that point the West either goes direct WW3 or Ukraine is dumped like Vietnam and Afghanistan etc. The Ukraine military could also remove Zelelensky and sue for peace.
    1
  4838. @E KL The USA didn't invade Vietnam They were invited in by the government to fight the rebels. Then when the USA people got tired of it they cut and run. Isn't that a similar situation to Ukraine. The difference is they don't want to get directly involved fighting the Russians so are sending huge amounts of weapons and money instead. As soon as it is made clear to the public that Ukraine has no chance of winning they will cut and run again.

  4839. We have the NK soldiers hoax and now we have the Isreal bombed "Putin's missiles" hoax.

  4851. The Russians have already said they are not concerned about F-16s. Nothing the West has supplied so far has made any difference in the long run and has all been blown to pieces in the end. They have also tried an economic war and that has been an abject failure. The information war is crumbling as more and more people in the west see through all the lies and propaganda. The legal war hasn't worked either the ICC prosecutor and judge are now marked men and will need round the clock protection for ever more. Salman Rushdie only had Iran to worry about, the ICC people have the GRU. At what point do our hard of thinking establishment realise that this war is lost and give up trying. Short of nuclear weapons there is nothing they can do about it. Perhaps we could stop a few rubber boats crossing the channel or something else manageable instead.

Putin, or one of his many doubles has had cancer, parkinsonism, and all manor of psychological disorders. He has been on the verge of being overthrown the whole time too. The Kherson and Karkiv counteroffensives were so successful that Moscow was at risk. Putin bombed his own men in a nuclear power station and blew up his own pipeline. The economic sanctions have totally isolated Russia, and turned the Rouble into rubble. Putin is even on the run from the ICC. All this and you say Ukraine is on it's last chance - How can that be????

  4899. Only problem is NATO (ie. the USA) hasn't got any 155mm shells remaining to use in Ukraine, as Biden explained to rationalise sending old cluster bombs - which are banned by most nations. The war of attrition has been won by Russia. No NATO for Zelensky because the US realists knows that means WW3 and NATO would quickly lose that too.

  4922. The Russians are not in any way desperate. They are very angry, especially with the UK, but are still completely in control of the situation. Kursk has been a massive mistake for the Ukrainians, everyone outside of Times Radio has already admitted that. Their best men and machines are being ground down while Zelensky keeps sending more troops into the area. Hamish is more delusional than usual today - things must be really bad on the Donbass front.

Leopard 2s now junk, Bradleys now junk, Marder & Mastiff junk, Storm Shadow relatively useless, HIMARS even worse, JDAM irrelevant. 3 mine clearing tanks blown to bits in one field. The barely trained Ukrainian conscripts appear to be totally useless so far and have only managed to capture 3 small villages that the far better trained Russians had abandoned. Hospitals in the region apparently overflowing with wounded and many thousands dead on the Ukraine side. Reported casualty ratio 10+ to 1 Ukrainian to Russian. In summary total disaster so far.
    1
  4928.  @tomokaramolko8560  Ok, lets say they deployed 5 and for that they "captured" 3 villages on the Ukraine side of the grey zone. The 25 might get to the first actual defensive line (with another 3 or 4 behind it). Then what?
    1
  4929.  @tomokaramolko8560  Er no. Where are you getting your figures from, Ben Wallace? I don't think many of the 500,000 Russian men have been used so far. Most of the fighting in this offensive seems to have been airpower. The Russian helicopters have been having a turkey shoot. Also SU25 with missiles and SU34 with the glide bombs. Mobile anti-tank squads too.

  4931.  @tomokaramolko8560  Apparently they were supposed to be in Tokmak in 2 days and at the sea of Asov in 3. I think they expected the same results as last year when they were fighting a very sparse Russian defence comprising of local military police rather than a large concentration of the regular Russian army who knew they were coming for 6 months. It's what you get when you cede your sovereignty to idiots and crooks in Washington DC.

  4957.  @RebMordechaiReviews  I rarely agree with the western media these days. Lying scribes the lot of them.🤣 The Ukrainians kept civilians in the area of fighting and the Russians took great pains to get them out. I've watched many POV videos showing that and not the fake videos coming out of the Zelensky regime. The Ukrainians have been better at evacuating civilians lately but they still have the habit of keeping their military equipment in shopping malls and such like so they can use it for propaganda when they get hit.

  4958. Probably leaked by a "white hat" who wants to avert WW3. To this end they have informed the public. 1.

The Ukrainians are doing a lot worse than the media has reported.

  4974. ​ @steveb890  None of the western weapons so far provided have proven to be better than the Russian equivalents so I doubt that aircraft will be either. Western air forces have got used to bombing goatherds in countries with no air force or air defence to speak of, Ukraine was supposed to be NATO standard and their airforce has been smashed.

  4975.  @steveb890  Ukraine is a NATO "partner" . Their armed forces have received training for NATO interoperability. They are a de facto member. The only fig leaf for why the largest de facto NATO army was destroyed so easily by Russia was that they were using old Soviet weapons. The poor performance of supposedly superior western arms rips off that fig leaf.

  4976.  @steveb890  My "delusion" has been correct about most things so far. I said the NATO armed offensive last summer would be a failure. In the end it was even worse than I expected. An official NATO army would run up against the same defences with the same result.

  4978.  @steveb890  Remember Steve this is still a special military operation. Russia isn't breaking sweat at the moment. If it came to it they would be fielding millions of troops.

  5016. The Ukrainians are experimenting with our taxpayer funded gear. Someone needed to get an answer to the thorny issue of whether getting blown to bits is an advantage or disadvantage for an attacking army. To do this they advanced in daylight into Russian minefields. This was often good enough to get themselves blown to bits but on other occasions they drove round and round to provide an easy target to the Russians also increasing their chances of being blown to bits by a landmine. They got their mine clearing equipment blown to bit to see how that helped of hindered. And luckily for the ones that hadn't been blown to bits by mines, artillery or anti-tank "Kornet" squads the Russian helicopter gunships blew the remaining to bits with great efficiency. The experiment was a resounding success and we know know definitively getting blown to bits DOES NOT help an attacking army in fact it means they make no progress at all. P.S. Give us a rendition of "Charge of the Light Brigade" next bud - far more relevant to this debacle.

The way the Ukrainians are simply abandoning strategic towns is actual evidence to support that. Mythical NK soldiers just shows how desperate the West is to bamboozle their publics.

President Elect Trump hasn't said there was a call and President Putin has categorically denied there was a call. An anonymous WaPo source says there was. What's the next move? Perhaps release an AI "recording" of the supposed call and history repeats itself.

  5047.  @emm_arr  How so? The media has misrepresented the course of the conflict. The first action attacking Kiev was really a bluff to get the Ukrainians to negotiate autonomy of the LPR/DPR and neutrality for Ukraine as a whole. Nearly worked but the USA EU and UK (Boris) blocked it. Then the Russians changed the parameters of the conflict to "demilitarise" the Ukrainian army and "denazify" the AZOV, AIDAR, Right Sector etc. The USA et al. escalated with all the military aid so the parameters were changed again to something more like total war - which the Russians had prepared for but didn't want to do to Ukraine.

  5059.  @boink800  No buddy, the Ukrainian constitution expert is Pooty. He's a lawyer I'm not. So it looks like the Russian plan may be to deal with the Rada who are perhaps less influenced by the West in preparation for sending the troops into Kiev to liberate it from the illegitimate President Zelelensky. Then restore Viktor Yanukovych, who was the last legitimate President of Ukraine before being illegally deposed in the Maidan coup.
    1
  5060.  @boink800  Not really a theory , more of an analysis. Yanukovych was in Minsk with the other two Slav Presidents. We have a Belarussian "President in exile" in Lithuania don't we? Perhaps they have a Ukrainian President in exile in Minsk, ready to go. I believe it's the Ukrainians who have suggested that Russia is building forces in the Sumy region. Someone suggested 300,000 that would be enough to at least lay siege to Kiev.

Are the Russians still making progress in Bakhmut? yes. Slower that it could be because the angelic Ukrainians have failed to evacuate all the civilians. Have they run out of ammo? not at all. Have the Ukrainian offensives been successful at impeding the Russian? no and they have apparently had the most fatalities in one day or the whole conflict so far.

  5153.  @jimgritty7064  Russia considered it an existential threat to have a large NATO army and nuclear missiles in Ukraine. Nobody knows the real losses on both sides but I think it's 10:1 Ukrainian to Russian. This is due to the slow and methodical execution of the war by the Russians and the reckless, PR driven Ukrainian approach. I think the Biden regime want to put the blame for that on Zelensky and the Time article may be the start of that PR campaign. In my view it's largely the fault of Blinken, Nuland, Sullivan, Miley, Austin et al.

  5163.  @hedleythorne  First point, there is no evidence that Russia has lost 600,000 troops. They have been very careful to avoid casualties by using stand off weapons. The Ukrainians are reporting an 8 to 1 manpower advantage for Russia in various places on the front, where did all the Ukrainian troops go?

  5175. @paigeharrison3909  The cult thing is projection. The left operates exactly as a cult. Marxism is a secular religion, ostracisision and violence await people who disagree with the prevailing orthodoxy, no matter how insane it is. That orthodoxy can change overnight to the diametric opposite and the same obedience is instantly demanded. And so on.

  5176.  @paigeharrison3909  Seems like the censors won't let me explain how it's the left that is a cult. I suppose they are part of that cult themselves. Essentially Marxism is a secular religion and absolute adherence to the orthodoxy is demanded.

Those types of vague smears are very similar to the tactic the BBC reporter tried with Elon Musk and I expect it was developed by intelligence agency behavioural psychologists. To complete the "soft assassination" he should have called him a "conspiracy theorist" which I'm sure he in in the original application of the phrase.

Trump hasn't received a single felony conviction so far, Jan 6 wasn't an "insurrection" and Trump tried to head off any potential riots by requesting the national guard. But it seems the anti-Democrats are intending to try to prevent Trump taking office if he wins, which is looking more and more likely. These people are indeed the enemy within the USA.

The conclusion I draw is that NATO is a paper tiger and the people in charge are idiots.

Putin was happy with Ukrainian neutrality and autonomy for Donbass prior to the invasion and even after that, as shown by the March 2022 peace deal killed by Bojo. The problem is people like Hamish have painted themselves into a corner with all the tall tales they have said about Russia losing for 2 years that they have no option but to continue the masquerade "as long as it takes".

  5261. First statement from Dr Mike is factually incorrect. The initial Russian strategy was not to "Take over the whole of the country". Now how do I know better than Dr Mike and his book? Well the Russians didn't commit anywhere near enough troops to achieve that aim. Even taking Kiev would have taken more men than they initially committed. To take and hold Ukraine has been estimated to require 1.5 million or 8 times the initial number involved. So either Dr Mike is an idiot, or he's telling lies. Serious military analysts now conclude that the initial invasion was "diplomacy by other means" and a way to get the very inexperienced and unstable Zelelnsky to the negotiating table. This worked but the West demanded no deal, reiterated recently regarding any Chinese peace plan so the Russians realised they would have to fight and have committed sufficient troops to take and hold the annexed regions.

Ukraine has been set back 100 years because of the conflict, its energy system is badly damaged ," said US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

  5288.  @briandbeaudin9166  It's generally accepted that the initial invasion was so the Russians could show they were serious and get the jumpy pint-sized dictator to the negotiating table. That worked perfectly, unfortunately Bojo kiboshed the Turkish mediated peace deal. The deal only demanded recognition for Crimea, autonomy for Donbas and neutrality for Ukraine. But the west must have confidently told Zelensky they would supply everything he needed for a victory in Donbas and Crimea and that Russia would be an economic ruin with Putin on trial at the Hague. In other words they conned the idiot.

They have isolated the UK from Russia with all it's natural resources for nothing. We could have been doing business with Russia, perhaps joining BRICS and making good on Brexit, instead we are hitched to the USA who will bilk us on energy and Europe which is about to go down the pan for the same reason.

They will wait until they are in the air over Ukraine and shoot them down.

  5370.  @tw25rw  It seems their integrated air defense system is the best in the World. I imagine they can distinguish between missiles and jets. So they will generally prioritize the jets. I think you are grossly overestimating the capabilities of these planes and pilots. Even if they use "Western" (say Polish) pilots which is the most likely in my view, they will never have had to deal with such a formidable scheme. Bombing goatherds and wedding receptions doesn't really count.

  5371.  @tw25rw  It's the judgement of various experts, Patriot good, S400 better. A bit of news, apparently Zelelensky wants F35s now 🤣. $70-90 million a piece I believe. Massive amounts of maintenance required too but I suppose as they don't need a proper airfield (which are more or less gone in Ukraine) it's a sort of logical choice.

  5372.  @ferdomravec1520  I think nearly 400 claimed downings is definitely an airforce. We only have 100 Typhoons after all. The excuse is "these were old Tanks/Planes". So give them new stuff and all will be well. Firstly this ignores all the pilots and experienced tankers killed. But even assuming these jets are flown by Brits in Ukraine uniforms, rather than teenagers press-ganged off the streets, I still think they are completely unprepared for what would await them. Russia isn't Iraq or Libya.

  5373.  @ferdomravec1520  How do you know anything about the Ukrainian airforce who gave us "The Ghost of Kiev". Don't know why the Russians would claim to have downed more planes than they thought the Ukrainians had.

  5374.  @ferdomravec1520  The Russians are flying in Ukraine, mainly the SU25s. There's a difference between having air superiority and creating a no-fly zone. The Ukrainians still have air defenses although they have been severely degraded. The Russians aren't jet heavy like the USA, their airforce isn't that big so I suppose they don't want to risk their aircraft. However the Russian artillery is a different matter and that's what's winning the war for them.
    1
  5375.  @ferdomravec1520  I'm very wary of the "Russia is running out of X" narratives. They had huge stockpiles and have an MIC. tailored for quantity. By contrast the Western arms manufacturers produce tiny (relatively) amounts of expensive weapons. The UK can produce about 15000 shells a year, Russia has fired 60000 in a day. We need to wait for the Russian offensive to start before declaring them out of ammo. Russian gun barrels can be removed and sent back by train for recycling very easily due to geographical proximity. Not so easy to send the M777 barrels all the way to Poland when all the bridges have gone.
    1
  5376.  @ferdomravec1520  Ok so why haven't the Czechs sent their 155mm shells to Ukraine? The USA just got 300,000 from Israel. Ukraine didn't send nukes, they never had nukes. The Soviet Union had nukes stationed in Ukraine which returned to Russia who were the descendant power. More recent treaties like the Minsk set were just considered a ruse by the Ukrainians so they can't bleat about not keeping the nukes. If they had tried I expect this war would have started in1994.

They make and maintain their own weapons which are better suited to the situation than the hodgepodge of western systems that Ukraine is forced to rely on. They can train their recruits without interference for a full year of basic plus specialisation training rather than the few weeks that Ukrainians can get in various NATO countries. The initial Ukrainian army was well equipped and trained but it was destroyed last year.

  5402.  @Moscow_Will_Burn  I don't think prisoner's tales are a particularly solid source of information - that goes for both sides. They are very likely given under duress. Most of the fighting so far has been from local militias (LPR and DPR) along with Wagner and Chechen. The real Russian army hasn't taken a major role yet. Given the steady methodical manor than Russia has executed the war I can't see any reason that they wouldn't take the time to fully train their troops. Ukraine can't do that, it hasn't the capability in Ukraine so it either sends them abroad or hardly trains them at all. And they need more replacements due to a higher attrition rate because of the offensives and lack of firepower.

  5425.  @johannagarda  Russia isn't struggling. They have adopted an economy of force strategy to destroy the Ukrainian army and the tens of billions of dollars worth of foreign arms and ammunition. Ukraine had the second largest NATO standard army and that was largely destroyed last year. Then we have created another army for them which is being destroyed now. This is a very large and violent war which didn't need to happen if the Zelelensky regime had made peace like he said he would during his election campaign in 2019. The initial show of force by Russia wasn't intended to "take Kiev in three days", it was to get Zelelensky to make peace in Turkey. Bojo scuppered that so the Russians have been forced to prosecute the war, which they consider to be existential, to it's conclusion instead.

  5427.  @johannagarda  "War is the extension of politics by other means" is a quote from Carl Von Clausewitz, thought of as one of histories greatest military strategists. In this context it means Russia invading as a way of showing they meant business but with the intention of coercing a political settlement from Zelensky. The media are idiots and tools of the regime so they have pushed the idea the Russia is weak, and badly led so that the public won't get scared of support for the war. Even though it is by far the most dangerous situation for everyone I can remember. Ukraine isn't worth a nuclear war and it isn't even worth severe UK military casualties, which is what would occur if nutters in the government have their way. So they try to minimize the public perception by feeding them a false narrative.

There have been two huge ammo dumps destroyed. So how exactly is Russia losing this conflict? Also if Putin is replaced it's far more likely that a hawk will replace him and the SMO will intensify. The vast majority of the Russian people are behind Putin and the war. The willful delusion by these warmongers is disgusting. Let's hope some Western politicians have the backbone to stop supplying ever more dangerous weapons to the Zelelensky regime before the conflict widens to all out war.

That's a boosted fission primary, causing radiative implosion of a lithium deuteride secondary, in turn causing the radiative implosion of another larger lithium deuteride third stage. The largest and most sophisticated bomb ever exploded and rumoured to be deployed in the Poseidon submarine drone. Those bombs will go off.

There was no reason for Russia to massacre Ukrainian civilians in fact they have been extremely careful to avoid civilian casualties the entire course of the conflict, unlike the US in Iraq for instance. So it seems far more likely to have been a staged event to me.

I doubt Trump will be able to stop the war at this point as it's gone too far but he will be able to help create a peace when Zelensky is either deposed assassinated or capitulates. The entire Western involvement in Ukraine has been incredibly damaging to Ukraine and the West. Russia has taken casualties but is far far stronger and more confident than they were in 2022. We have helped create a real alternative to the "rules based order" in BRICS and the USA is now only one of three superpowers in the World. That is Joe Biden and his eminence grise Obama's legacy.

  5524.  @doncarlodivargas5497  It's a matter of scale. With western (principally USA) ISR they can find juicy targets for Ukrainian sabotage and drones. But the effect is minimal and mainly PR. Kursk is a prime example, it was picked because it was relatively poorly defended (due to it's limited strategic value), so the Ukrainians had limited success initially. Compare that to how badly they performed in Summer 2023 against real defences. Russia has demolished Ukraine's energy system, totally depleted their air defences (and NATOs in the process). And have steadily broken through some of the Worlds the strongest defensive belts in the Donbas.

  5525.  @doncarlodivargas5497  I don't believe the Russians every wanted to capture Kiev. They may have to now but they only really wanted to keep Ukraine out of NATO, protect their people in Donbas and maintain their presence in Crimea. That was the nature of the peace deal in March 2022.
    1
  5526.  @doncarlodivargas5497  It was a strawman argument. When Russia initially crossed the border they didn't commit anyway near enough troops to take and hold Kiev. They probably did send enough to take out Zelensky with commandos or missiles and that got the Ukrainians to the negotiating table. Then the West came in via Boris Johnson with promises of eternal support and the deal was nixed.

  5565. The Russians all know what's going on. It's the British public which has been lied to for a 14 months. The media in this country have blood on their hands as a result of that. They should have been using their megaphone to call for a settlement last March instead of cheering on the proxy war, assuming that NATO would win. They have acted worse than during the Vietnam and Iraq wars combined and taken us to the brink of Armageddon.

  5566. Had to tune in to listen to Phil's gobbledegook and spin He didn't disappoint. I pity people who listen to this for actual information rather than amusement. They will receive an entirely false impression of the situation. There is a list circulating of all the brigades and regiments that the Russians lured into Artyomovsk and slaughtered. If they were full strength it would be well over 100,000 men. From Artyomovsk the Russians can push in all directions using the road and rail links for logistics. Meanwhile where is the Ukrainian counteroffensive? I think much of it went up in mushroom clouds over the past few weeks.

  5573.  @JORDONDAVE  But he hasn't committed any. All these trials are best described as railroading. This fraud case is totally ridiculous and a complete travesty of justice.

Same for the criminal trials and Rudy's case.

  5574. The Ukrainian preconditions for talks are entirely delusional. The "Zelensky peace plan" is for the winning side, Russia, to surrender 🤣 He's channelling Monty Python's Black Knight, it's that absurd. Russia is not going to enter a ceasefire either, peace talks could occur but the war would continue unaffected. The West would just use the ceasefire as an opportunity to try to cobble together yet another Ukraine army.

All in all project Ukraine is looking more and more like a typical Biden foreign policy complete disaster.

"Trump Plaza's revenues took a sharp decline in 1990, due to competition from its newly opened sister property, the Trump Taj Mahal, which was a mile away.[15] The casino narrowly averted default on a 1991 payment to bondholders by taking out a $25 million mortgage on its parking garage.[15] Trump then negotiated a debt restructuring with the Plaza's creditors, under which their $250 million of debt would be exchanged for $200 million of bonds with a lower interest rate, plus $100 million of preferred stock.[16] The plan was submitted as a prepackaged bankruptcy in March 1992."

She said that Xi is the only leader Putin listens to. (Well he isn't going to be listening to Biden, nobody does 🤣) So typical click bait headline by the Times. I don't know what kind of "real air power" you think Ukraine is going to get. I think that only about 6 or 8 pilots are getting trained. Ukraine had a very capable air force and it has been shot out of the sky. Same will happen to the F16s.

  5590. The primary roadblock to peace in Ukraine, from the very start and before hostilities commenced, has been the USA and UK. They provoked the conflict and have done everything to prevent a peaceful resolution. The reason for this is because it's always been about regime change in Russia. So I suspect the way the Chinese and Russians will seek to resolve this is by isolating USA and UK from the rest of the World on this issue.

  5630.  @bobbear4437  That's wrong, it goes all the way back to the beginning. From NATO's website: "Evolution of NATO-Ukraine relations Dialogue and cooperation started when newly independent Ukraine joined the North Atlantic Cooperation Council (1991) and the Partnership for Peace programme (1994). Relations were strengthened with the signing of the 1997 Charter on a Distinctive Partnership, and further enhanced in 2009 with the Declaration to Complement the Charter, which reaffirmed the decision by NATO Leaders at the 2008 Bucharest Summit that Ukraine will become a member of NATO. The 1997 Charter established the NATO-Ukraine Commission as the main body responsible for developing the NATO-Ukraine relationship and for directing cooperative activities. In 2023, the Commission was replaced by the NATO-Ukraine Council, where Allies and Ukraine sit as equals. This change demonstrates the strengthening of political ties and Ukraine’s increasing integration with NATO. Cooperation has deepened over time and is mutually beneficial. Ukraine has a long track record of active contributions to NATO-led operations and missions."

  5639.  @MultiAxisDiscipline  Plenty of people explained why the 2023 offensive had little chance of success, the reasons were easy to see. The Suroviken defence in depth, no air cover, hodge podge of weapons systems, insufficiently trained troops etc.. Ben never considered any of that in his analysis.

Meanwhile in the USA the utterly incompetent Biden regime are desperate to get away from the disaster although they don't want to see a Ukraine collapse before the 2024 election.

The reality is of course that NATO has been exposed as a paper tiger without the industrial base to fight a war like this.

  5710.  @boink800  Well mister naffo, Putin has said he won't negotiate with Zelensky because he's arguably illegitimate so any deal would be liable to challenge. The Ukrainian constitution prohibits parliamentary elections during martial law but says nothing about presidential elections apparently. In that case normal legal construction would infer that they are allowed so he should have had one. Why did he fire a load of Generals a couple of days ago?
    1
  5711.  @boink800  I said that after the 20th he would be illegitimate and that would make it easier for him to be removed by a military coup. I think those Generals who have just been fired may have come to the same conclusion.

  5712.  @boink800  We'll see how things turn out. The media has been predicting a coup in Russia for 2 1/2 years. I never thought that was likely because Putin made a very strong case for intervening. Also the sanctions completely failed.

I think the Russians have been content to let Zelensky send his citizens to die without gain until there were no more left worth mobilizing and we have reached that point now. Everyone expects them to go on the offensive soon.

The Russian public see through all the western propaganda about "unprovoked and illegal war", they understand that Russia is under attack and it was a pre-emptive action. Stoltenberg admitted that NATO expansion was the root cause. The Ukrainians also get that they are cannon fodder in a proxy war. Zelensky's poll numbers have cratered apparently. In my view he is due the Ceaușescu treatment at some point.

They only managed to capture areas the Russians had decided to vacate. Because this mythology took hold the idiot planners of the current offensive massively underestimated Russian resolve and the result is a military disaster we have seen over the last 3 months.

  5842.  @jaxvoice718  I don't think any of that is correct. Other than they may have mainly used their old tanks up to now and are saving the new stuff for the offensive. Their factories are working at a wartime levels. And there's no shortage of raw materials or energy. There may be manpower issues in the factories and that's most likely where the North Koreans come in, rather than for finished weapons. So if the planners are working on the assumption that Russia is depleted they could be getting it as wrong as thinking they would just run away.
    1
  5843.  @WHS_reviews  The Ukes seem to have perfected the art. Apparently the German training regarding minefields was "go round them". The biggest issue with the failed counteroffensive has been that you can't create an effective tank commander/driver in a couple of months.
    1
  5844.  InfinitiAlex  For the sake of clarity. The land around Kiev was abandoned as a goodwill gesture when it was thought a peace deal was likely. The Kherson and Kharkiv so called offensives were actually tactical withdrawals by the Russians due to insufficient manpower. Whilst retreating they inflicted heavy casualties on the Ukrainians. These two categories are more or less equal in terms of area. So we can say that Russia tactically retreated from around 25% of the land they took. However Ukraine has actually only managed to recapture a few tiny pockets when the Russians actually fought back - probably 1%. And that has come at the loss of 70+ thousand troops and much of the supplied weaponry.

Meanwhile Ukraine has been forced to redeploy it's Leopard 2s to Avdiivka to defend against the Russian advance. They have lost 3 or 4 there over the last week.

  5848.  @skykid3  Firstly Zelensky begs for everything. Secondly there isn't actually any concrete evidence that Russia has used any Iranian or North Korean arms. The drones that the media calls Shaheed are actually Russian ones called Geran. It's possible they copied the Iranians but they weren't made there. It's very likely that the combination of huge Soviet stockpiles and incredible native production make Russia self sufficient in arms for far longer than Ukraine can hold out.

  5853.  @brianmclaughlin4419  No evidence for that. They don't need to use them and they are probably more useful for air defence. I don't know why the Ukrainians started to claim S-300s were being used in ground attack mode, probably to lie about friendly fire. After a lie is told keep lying I suppose. According to Wiki "United Russia" (the ruling party in Russia) is considered to be conservative so referring to the Russians as "Reds" is pretty ignorant of the facts.

  5860. @atlantic169  You have things backwards. Russia's force in 2022 was much smaller than the Ukrainian defenders. That's why they were able to push them out of Kharkiv and Kherson. Then Russia changed to a conservation of forces strategy, defeating the 2023 offensive and grinding the Ukrainian army to the point of collapse. All the time recruiting volunteers and outproducing the entirety of NATO by 3 times at least in critical weapons. So nobody could negotiate anything better than a Ukrainian surrender at this point.

  5862. A dash to the sea of Asov, breaking the land bridge, was the plan for this offensive. This would have allowed an offensive on Crimea next year. The planners in the USA assumed the Russians would just run away. This assumption was incorrect, the offensive failed and it's now obvious that Ukraine will never be able to mount such an offensive.
    1
  5863.  @michaelillingworth6433  I agree only a fool would expect the offensive to be successful given all the problems. But if you scan back to before June you will find all the media pundits were discounting all those problems because Western weapons and tactics were far superior to the Russian/Soviet ones. I assume the US planners were either in agreement or told to agree by the the idiots of the Biden regime. "Hey the Ruskies just ran away in Kharkov and Kherson so stop with your whining and plan us the greatest counteroffensive the world has ever seen!"

Robert Barnes noted that Russian elections are far better invigilated than American ones - especially 2020. They have independent observers to ensure fairness (I'm sure Nuland, Soros and the rest of the colour revolution operatives hate that). They had international observers for the plebiscites on joining the Russian federation last year - the democratic West defamed them and I think even criminally charged them. So no high ground for the West in terms of invasions or elections in my view.

Milley says Kyiv could fall within 72 hours if Russia decides to invade Ukraine" That seems to be the Genesis of the 3 day claim - before the invasion actually occurred. Business insider on March 15 2022 said "CIA Director Bill Burns told lawmakers last week that Putin's strategy for the war was centered on "seizing Kyiv within the first two days of the campaign." US intelligence likewise assessed that the city could fall soon after the invasion." So most likely Burns got people to repeat Milley's claim, attributing it to Putin, in order to deflect blame from his incorrect, probably intentionally deceptive, analysis.

There was never any mention of taking Kiev in three days by Russia, that was western pundits and the head of the CIA Burns.

Then NATO decided to demilitarize itself as a bonus by sending Ukraine weapons that have only caused the war to be prolonged and caused hundreds of thousands of unwilling untrained Ukrainian conscripts to be slaughtered.

  5970.  @FSGallipoli  If that's the case, well done for still being alive. It's generally accepted that the initial phase was just a show of strength to get Zelensky to negotiate. Show the Ukrainians they were serious. That worked, negotiations started and were progressing well until Bojo presented a "better" offer of all the arms intelligence and out of country training. Combined with the sanctions that was sure to bring victory for the pair of Churchill wannabes and FDR wannabee Biden. So as a gesture of goodwill the Russians retreated from Sumy (Blinken probably counts that as liberated by Ukraine). There were never anywhere near enough troops to take Kiev so saying that was the objective just makes you look ignorant.

  5994. ​ @iitzfizz  Yes reactor grade is why it's low yield. Weapons grade Pu was suitable for a gun assembled device but it was too big for any available bomber.(Thin Man was 17 feet long but a reactor grade one would need to be longer) Another approach is to use two guns firing at each other. I'm assuming this will be a truck bomb. If Tritium is available, (requires neutron irradiation of lithium) and as Deuterium is readily available fusion boosting can mitigate the problems with pre-detonation. There was a test of a fusion boosted implosion device using reactor grade fuel. Not sure if it could also work in a gun assembled device.

The USA has performed many exoatmospheric nuclear explosions to test the effects, leading to our knowledge of Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) which can disable ground based electrical and electronic infrastructure. (Google operation Starfish). This kind of wepon would be a large, megaton range decice. For anti-satelite it's probable a fourth generation nuclear weapon design would be used. You don't want to knock out your own satelites only the enemy's. So if they are considering it, it will probably be a low yield 4G design which operates like a shaped charge and explodes as a jet pointed at the target to be disabled. In space there is no shockwave, because there is no air, so the target will be disabled by radiation. That saying, this is probably just a load of nonsense to distract the public.

It looks like they are going to throw everything into a final offensive which will be even more of a disaster than last year. Russia have glide bombs up to 3 tons now as well as supremacy in every aspect including airpower, artillery, ISR and air defence. The West just hopes to keep things going past November so the Biden dream team aren't humiliated.

  6105. Sham elections typically involve: Mail in voting. Insecure drop boxes. No signature verification. Exclusion of election observers from the counting process. Refusal by the judiciary to hear evidence of malpractice. Hijacked protests using agitators to cause trouble. Persecution and prosecution of political opponents. Removal of political opponents from the ballot. And so on.

Just how pathetic do you have to be to have the lefty cognitive dissonence to see Zelensky as simultaneously the greatest hero the World has ever known and also able to be bullied by being told a few home truths by the leadership of America.

In fact the British political class thought that NATO via Ukraine combined with massive economic sanctions would easily beat Russia. That was their aim in provoking the war with relentless Westward expansion of NATO and Soros' coup in 2014. They were completely wrong and now seem willing to see the UK destroyed rather than admit it.

  6140. The Putin running away narrative mirrors the way Trump was mocked for going into his bunker as BLM thugs tried to storm the Whitehouse. If he did leave Moscow, not seen any evidence for that, it would have been under instructions from his security detail. What's clear is that the coup was put down, predominately by the Chechen special forces who surrounded Rostov. Very few Wagner officers joined in and many of the soldiers who did had been misled as to what was actually going on. If we remember Prigozhin had been pushing the idea of going to Belgorod for weeks after the incursions by the so called "Russian Volunteers". It's been another flop like the counteroffensive so that's the Neocon dreams of a palace coup gone too.

  6146. When you are dealing with a nuclear armed adversary negotiation is the only sane approach. Luckily Putin and his administration seem to be very reasonable in contrast to the Neocons in the USA and UK. There was a viable peace deal last March which would have left the Donbas part of Ukraine. It had been initialled by the Ukrainian delegation but Boris Johnson allegedly instructed Zelelensky to abandon it and here we are. Now there is zero chance that the annexed regions will return to Ukraine by negotiation and it's quite clear that military action by Ukraine will not bring that about either. So the diplomatic solution is to accept things as they are plus permanent neutrality for Ukraine and NATO forces back to their 1992 posture, either that or everyone dies.
    1
  6147. Far more likely to be an internal plot. The Ukrainians send each other exploding birthday presents and poison. The Russians could have offed Zelensky at any time.
    1
  6148. Too heavy, complex and incompatible ammo. This is just a virtue signal to Zelelensky and the American Neocons who desperately need the Zelelensky regime to throw more cannon fodder into an offensive for PR purposes at home. "Oh look all those billions we sent to Ukraine is working"

  6152. @NoForum I have been wondering why there is a comment section at all. Most of these propaganda outlets turn them off. I'm guessing that research has shown people are actually more swayed by apparent peer pressure (even from bots). Also engagement increases the chances of being promoted by the algorithm. But there is always a risk of some pesky truth teller spoiling things. Hence the phalanx of denouncers like yourself.

  6153. That was the plan. It's called "ethnic cleansing" and a war crime.

  6154. @user-ze7vb5cx3y Is it such a ridiculous idea? NATO is supporting Ukraine even though they aren't a member and it's supposed to be a defensive alliance - of it's members. The USA is supporting Ukraine even though it's thousands of miles away across an ocean. They talk a lot about sending troops too. NK is Russia and China's neighbour and is still really at war with the USA. Rather more realistic reason to get involved than France or Uk.
    1
  6155.  @QuietRefl4378  Just the facts. Putin explained the legal rationale while presenting his ceasefire preconditions the other day. The USA lobbied and bullied the ICJ to get them to accept exactly the same argument back in 1999. Lindsey Graham represents the Neocon view that Ukrainian lives are less important than American lives so that funding this war is a "Great deal" because only Ukrainians and Russians are dying. Do you consider that to be a moral position?

  6164. Surely it would be the SVR and GRU that would operate in Ukraine. The FSB is the internal civilian security service akin to the FBI in the USA. Also reiterating the well debunked canard that Russia expected to take Kiev with 40,000 troops invalidates the entire story. Russia got what it wanted from the initial invasion, they got Ukraine to the negotiating table in Turkey. Boris Johnson torpedoed the peace plan and Zelensky decreed that there could be no negotiation with Russia. The result is hundreds of thousands of dead Ukrainians and many more wounded. Another of Joe Biden's many foreign policy failures aided and abetted by the UK and EU.

  6181.  @innerspatial  I see you hava absorbed all the fallback propaganda. If Russia wins then it's Afghanistan all over again. Well no, it would more likely be Chechnya all over again. Russia didn't really care about Afghanistan (nor did the USA) they do care about Ukraine. You could expect an intense counterinsurgency operation, they would probably term it denazification.

  6182.  @r2hildur  Depends what the Russian definition of winning is. I would say they have already won by hacking off the East with it's resources and industry. If they add Kharkiv, Dnipro, Nikoliev and Odessa leaving Kiev like a bankrupt Luxembourg that would be a big win.

Also the Jan 6 marchers who got inticed into the capitol were in solitary confinement in cockroach infested cells and beaten by the Guards for years without trial to break them. The Ukrainian SBU are well known torturers trained by the West. We have a recent documented example of the Ukrainian mobilization officers torturing a "recruit" to get them to "volunteer".

  6216. @BananaBossYT  If the Rouble is low then they get more for exported oil and gas. Later it gets stronger when they use them to buy foreign goods. It's a good deal.

  6217.  @foilhat1138  You are grasping at straws. The sanctions have failed, actually majorly backfired on Germany in particular. Apparently cutting off Gazprombank this week has also depressed the Rouble temporarily, perhaps it was done so the media had something to crow about.
    1
  6218. @dhalikias  There are seasonal variations which don't matter as much as they would for small countries without the massive natural resources of Russia. It was a big issue in the 90s because Russia had a great deal of foreign debt so when the Ruble went down the effective debt went up. This is what caused the Russian banking system to collapse then but they don't have that issue now. I think the idiots who planned the sanctions didn't realise that.

  6219. @foilhat1138  It's just a talking point because the war is going so badly for Ukraine/NATO.

  6220. @foilhat1138  It's a war between NATO and Russia using Ukraine as proxy. NATO specialists operate all the complex NATO weapons systems using NATO intelligence, surveillance and intelligence such as NATO satellites drones spies and agents. The Ukrainian manpower is trained by NATO in NATO countries. And with all that Ukraine, ie. NATO, is still losing.

  6227. You're delusional. Firstly this isn't officially a NATO war, Ukraine is not a member of NATO. So we shouldn't have got involved in the first place. So much for NATO being a defensive alliance 🙄. Second Ukraine has received a huge amount of military aid, the reason it hasn't worked is because they are fighting a superpower. Now the media can claim the Russian armed forces are useless and western politicians can chose to believe that but reality has shown it's actually the best in the world. The Russians have taken it slow and steady to try to avoid too many Russian casualties and because they needed time to build a big enough army to finish the job. They didn't want to fully mobilize as that could have destroyed the economy as we see happening in Isreal. Be sure Ukraine is beaten and that will be obvious over the next few months and year.

  6228. Chirpy Chip Chapman putting a brave face on it - Bakhmut is about to be fully encircled. The Ukrainians have wasted tens of thousands of lives defending a supposedly insignificant city - the Russians far fewer. They have also wasted a great deal of our money. None of this was necessary if they had implemented the Minsk agreements and declared neutrality but eternal optimists like Chirpy Chip told them that they could win with NATO's assistance so string Russia along. The result is the mayhem we see in Bakhmut Vulhedar and Marinka. All the West and their useful idiot Zelensky's fault.

Aristovich has stated the Russian deal last March was very favourable for Ukraine. All the Russians really wanted was neutrality. l

  6236. "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." Trump Jan 6 Chief of police on the day says Pelosi and her Sargent at arms refused to allow the National Guard to be deployed "for optics". I suspect they were having a joke at his expense as he'd been selected as fall guy, and they wanted the worst violence possible for the TV cameras.

  6238.  @dpelpal  It could have been an internal Wagner action. I'm sure most of them were appalled by the minority who mutinied. I doubt it was Putin because of the timing in relation to the BRICS summit which has effectively declared war on the Petrodollar. Putin would have waited until it was over, like he waited until the winter Olympics were over before invading Ukraine.

  6241. Get real, the Ukes haven't even made it to the first line of dragon's teeth but Tim is still talking about a breakthrough to help your coping. They are throwing infantry into battles that should be using tanks, because the tanks are getting blown up by stand off weapons before they get to the line of contact. Like the Challenger 2 for example - video had been released of it being hit by an ATGM.

  6242. So Ukraine is trying to starve the World then?
    1
  6243. This is pure desperation. If Western tanks were so important we would have sent them at the start. But we didn't because Ukraine had tanks. These tanks were lost. Then Soviet era tanks were sent from former Sov Blok countries. These tanks were also lost. Now the likes of the minimal intellect Gen Chip cant think of anything else to do but demilitarise the West and send our tanks to be lost too.

  6244. Yesterday you said Trump thinks Putin is a loser. I think we can conclude that TR and your contributors don't know anything about Trump, Putin, the Ukraine conflict, sanctions or just about anything at all. At least that's how it seems to me.

  6246.  @ndjibukabengele973  Russia isn't at war with Ukraine. They have their hands tied due to their allies and partners. Have a look at the current joint naval exercises. Russia has better weapons in critical areas: air defence, hypersonic missiles, submarines and electronic warfare.

  6247. This plan is not going to be acceptable to the Russians but at least Trump is trying to make peace.
    1
  6248. None of those cases were remotely serious. It was "transitional justice" which is part of the colour revolution methodology. Once you have grabbed power in the coup (2020 election steal) you need to neutralise your enemy through the legal process. Same in Brazil, Pakistan and elsewhere. Trump needs to do the same after this counter coup, the Diddy and Epstein lists may be appropriate for that.

  6249. Surely you heard they need Brits to operate them and US terrain data to navigate with. They only need Ukrainians to press "Fire", if you believe they are actually Ukrainian pilots of course.
    1
  6250. ​ @shadow-Sun  More importantly, data for the terrain mapping navigation is entirely USA created and owned. Without US radar satellites, which is how the data is obtained, the Storm Shadow is useless because the Russians can jam GPS pretty easily. If they do it the Russians could start destroying US satellites.

  6253.  @MagnificientTheory  fair comment. I would say it's a war, but it's not a full scale war or total war. That might happen if we see Western troops in Ukraine as Fico says are being discussed.

  6254.  @nkosipwl  Dealt with the 3 day thing above. Actually they wanted to force a peace deal and that nearly worked until Bojo was dispatched to strongarm and flatter Zelelensky.
    1
  6255. ​ @foilhat1138  Everyone agrees there was a potential peace deal. There was even one available directly with NATO before the incursion in February 2022 , Jens Stoltenberg admitted that. It was rejected of course, because the aim of project Ukraine was to destabilise and conquer Russia irrespective of what happened to the Ukrainian people.

  6256.  @Bob-nd2mr  Thanks for the advice Bob but I'm not in Russia. I wouldn't mind visiting, Moscow and St. Petersburg both look lovely for a city break.
    1
  6257. @lur That would be a Grand strategy if it was happening. Reality is Sweden and Finland are both minnows and won't add to the strength of NATO to any great degree. They will however make things more dangerous for everyone due to their proximity to Russia. As for weakening Russia that is a complete fallacy too. Russia is stronger and more motivated now than it was in 2022. They were worried about the economic shock from the inevitable sanctions but not any more. Their arms manufacturers are outproducing the entire west many times over. And their army is probably the best in the world right now. Epic fail for the Neocons and Globalist warmongers.

  6259. The FBI has been trying to depose Trump since 2015, even before he was elected. They promoted the ludicrous Russian collusion hoax.

  6261. Gavin, take a chill pill and a breath. The Russians will get all their SMO aims fulfilled - regime change, a vastly reduced Ukrainian army with strict limits, no NATO, no NAZIs in government, respect for Russian speakers etc. I'm sure PRESIDENT ELECT Trump understands all that. The question is whether Ukraine gets completely destroyed in the process and also whether Europe and the UK get economically destroyed in the process. So let's start being realistic and understand the limits of military power, Trump has already said no US boots in Ukraine I suppose if the Baltics or France want to get involved they could but there will be no cavalry coming when they start to get slaughtered.
    1
  6262. I think Pooty smells blood in the water at NATO. The USA doesn't want a war because it would lose. Germany France UK couldn't do anything. So what part of NATO would fight the Russians after seeing what they have done to Ukraine. Italy - must be joking. Netherlands Belgium 🤣 Turkey - no chance. The only possibility is the lunatic fringe of Poland plus Baltics So what if article 5 is triggered and nobody else turns up?

  6263. Apparently 300 Russian Orlan surveillance drones constantly over Adviika. Like every other weapons system Russia is massively outproducing the West and at a much lower cost. Ukraine can't win irrespective of anything the West does.

  6270. Biden is clearly senile and Trump is clearly not senile. Trump appears at a rally or some other public event almost daily. Biden hardly shows his face. Trump can keep going for 16-20 hours a day. Biden is lucky to manage an hour, with people suggesting pharmacological performance enhancement to do that.
    1
  6271.  @Martin-q7b  Far more likely to ditch the European chihuahuas to their fate. Trump knows that Europe doesn't need the USA to protect them from Russia militarily. Russia has no desire to invade Europe because it has nothing to offer.

  6281. This is dumb propaganda, probably because Ukraine is on it's last legs. There will be be no ceasefire, armistice or peace deal. Ukraine will collapse and surrender. The only reason that Russia would invade the Baltics etc. would be to reinstate a kind of Warsaw pact, which was a buffer zone. A far better option would be the new European security framework that Stoltenberg admitted would have prevented the invasion which just requires a DMZ in those countries rather than a Russian occupation.

Just to point out Phil, the Russians have captured strategic cities and ports, coal mines, oil and gas fields, extensive road and rail networks including to Crimea and an a nuclear power plant among other things. Ukraine has captured a myriad of tiny villages and one small town with little strategic value and tracts of farmland with terrible roads and few or no railways. Not really the same Phil.

  6308.  @markfp9705  This "Kiev in 3 days" trope is really getting on my nerves. Pundits thought Ukraine would crumble in three days if the Russians had gone in full bore. But it was never the intention. I can see it happening after the "counteroffensive" though. Ukraine isn't a viable state any more.

  6310.  @kennymiddleton3463  The economy has been destroyed. Russia has absorbed the region which formally generated 80% of the GDP.

  6318.  @Lasse65  The Russians intervened to protect the Russians in East Ukraine as well as Russia itself. They gave Ukraine and the West many opportunities to deescalate the situation. They don't particularly care about Finland and Sweden because they are militarily unimportant. It's widely believed if either host nuclear missiles then Russia will take them out. Europe is still getting fuel from Russia but at an inflated price.

As far as elections go it's the ones in the USA that are most important in my view. Biden and his team of incompetent ghouls (Blinken, Nuland, Sullivan, Austin) thought Ukraine would be a vote winner but it hasn't turned out that way. They need some kind of victory too.

How exactly do you know the Russian military production rates for missiles? You don't mate, you are clueless and so are all the rest of the "experts" who have been wrong about everything so far. We do know that the USA has run out of 155mm shells showing how unprepared NATO is for a ground war against the Russians. It looks like the Ukes have spunked all the Storm Shadows we sent them (the ones that the Russians haven't blown up in their warehouses that is).

There is nothing in the NATO part of Europe that Russia wants or needs so they will only attack if provoked by the West, for example if the overhyped F16s operate out of NATO airbases or if we supply weapons (and intelligence) which cause mass casualties in Russia - which is the reason that the USA is contemplating striking Iran. So if Russia attacks NATO it will be entirely NATO's fault, as was this war in the first place. Also calling the very popular leader of a major World power "despicable" is an ignorant, arrogant and undiplomatic thing to do.

  6542.  @antonysmyth2464  Is it? NATO is primarily the USA. Could their logistics stretch to a ground war in Ukraine? So we are really talking about Europe. The Brits are always up for a scrap but what about the rest? Poland seems game as they want their Ukrainian occupied territories back. Same for other former Sov Blok. Might happen but would be a massive risk given the easy Russian logistics, manpower and arms stockpiles.

  6543.  @matthewjohns1758  The Russian weapons seem to have worked pretty well up to now. Do you think they may have been preparing for this war, at least since 2014? I think it's NATO that seems unprepared. Ukraine has been using former Sov Blok arms and it's all gone now. So we are scrambling to put together a barmy army of ancient systems like Bulldog, incompatible modernish tanks and anything else that could possibly be used immediately. Doesn't look like any of this was planned by the Galaxy brains in charge. I think the Biden regime (+ devotees like Boris and the Eurocrats) were sure that economic and soft power would cause the Putin regime to fall and that didn't happen.

  6556.  @matt-f1c  Russia inherited all the assets of the Soviet Union including the nuclear weapons in Ukraine. They agreed the Budapest Memorandum to avoid a war to get them returned to their owners. The West was very happy about that because it avoided nuclear proliferation and they had installed Yeltsin as their guy. I remember when Putin replaced Yeltsin there was a very public handing over of the nuclear football. As for CT, that means no negotiation with Zelensky or his regime.

  6586.  @mebsrea  There is no evidence for equal casualties. All indications are that Ukraine has done far worse. Recent study looked at cemeteries via satellite imagery. Estimates 400,000 dead Ukrainians. Also obituaries and social media posts give a similar number. Far fewer by an order of magnitude for Russian. So they haven't done well, they have squandered human life on a scale which is hard to fathom. As for machines, I think it's clear that the West had no idea about Russia's military capabilities. Hence "Russia will run out of xyz" every couple of weeks. So I don't credit your estimates of those either.

We might see a few FOABs dropped.

The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

  6626.  @boink800  I explained why I think that. Turkey has the largest force other than the USA but I don't believe they would get directly involved in Ukraine. I doubt Hungary would either. Western Europe would face massive resistance from their public for boots on the ground. This is why western media has been propagandising them so heavily but that is failing too. So it's just the lunatic fringe of Poland and the Baltics plus the USA. And the USA would face massive difficulties moving sufficient men and machines to eastern Europe.

  6631. @tobiasrietveld3819  You are half right, Ukraine was never able to kick out Russia. But the Russian troops haven't been in a meat grinder for the most part, that's why the Russians army is now the strongest it's been since the 1980s. From late 2022 the Russians have employed tactics to minimise their own casualties and maximise Ukraine's. They are now in a position to take the whole country if they want.

Suroviken said they would grind the Ukrainian army down and the leaked documents suggest that's exactly what has happened. The stated purposes of the SMO were demilitarisation and denazification. At some point the Ukrainian army will collapse and the Russians will be able to occupy of Ukraine as much as they wish.

  6641.  @kennymiddleton3463  I really don't think it has been that bad for Russia. The Western plan was to provoke the conflict then use that as a pretext for the hardest sanctions.

So the way I see it the West (Neocons and Globalists) will never recover not Russia.

  6687.  @grantpalmer3321  That's the point that has been laid bare. If NATO wants to be a serious military alliance they need to nationalise their Military Industrial Complex and root out all the corruption. How can a 155mm shell cost 10+ times the equivalent Russian shell? And how can Russia outproduce NATO many times over?

  6688. I'm sure Trumps team will make a far far better job of running the economy than Obama via his proxies have. Trump showed that from 2016 to the release of a bioweapon and massive overreaction in 2020. He will do it again.😊

So don't expect them to be bullied into denouncing Russia as others have been.

They beat Ukraine's army last year and now they are fighting a newly mobilised army, with lots of NATO assistance and weapons. If it goes the full 2 1/2 years NATO will be disarmed as well as Ukraine.

  6742. Russia blows up it's own pipeline, bombs it's nuclear power station and now drones it's government centre according to the latest Times "expert". The country that actually does the most false-flags is the USA. We know about the Gulf of Tonkin, and Operation Gladio, we've seen the papers about "Operation Northwoods". There are many more suspicious terrorist actions which people believe were false flags. But to believe Russia would do this as a false flag requires more tin-foil than you would need to roast a dozen turkeys.

Rather they are there to grind up either a NATO offensive or one by a "coalition of the willing". The nutcase Tobias Elwood was suggesting the British Army should get directly involved. The army told him they only could field 40 tanks and he should STFU.

  6811.  @brobinson8614  Russia is easily winning. There was never a chance they could lose militerally - even Obama acknowledged that ("escalation dominance"). So they could only lose economically, diplomatically or politically. Despite the Wests best efforts the Russian economy is doing far better than the Eurozone and particularly Germany so that's a big win. Diplomatically most of the World supports Russia and are sick of the USA hegemony - just look at them all queuing up to join BRICS. Politically the big hope was for a coup to depose Putin and send him for a show trial in the Hague. I think we saw that scenario fizzle out recently. So no Ukraine and NATO are not remotely winning.

It's widely speculated that he downloaded the DNC emails which were said to have been hacked by the Russians but that theory was without evidence as testified to by the "Crowdstrike" CEO. The emails showed that Hillary Clinton cheated Bernie Sanders to become the nominee. He was a DNC IT support guy and got shot dead in Washington DC in a "mugging gone wrong".

  6843.  @АлександрБугров-р7н  That's why they are so upset at Tucker. Others have shown how well Russia has coped with the war and sanctions but none with the reach of Tucker.

They have also kept civilians in basements of their homes in Bakhmut, rather than evacuating them, to act as human shields. Russia is attacking warehouses of Western supplied arms and ammunition and seems to be doing a very good job of destroying it before it even has chance to be used.

The Russians believe the French and UK deterrents can be destroyed before they have chance to be used. The other European states have access to gravity bombs but they are very unlikely to make it to Russia. Article 5 is a demand that if a member is attacked the other members provide assistance they "deam necessary". That could amount to kind words.

  6872.  @asdqwe4468  They got quite a bonus for the Western tanks It was reduced as time went on and so many were destroyed. It was important because it debunked western propaganda by folks like Hamish De Breton-Gordon who totally overhyped them.

However with the Rules Based Order anything is possible some pretext or false flag could easily be used to activate it. Also article 4 is far more broad and could certainly be used to escalate the situation.

The West is weak apart from nuclear weapons, so Russia has just gently demilitarized us while avoiding a nuclear response.

    1
  6910. ​ @tulob6f295 ... Meanwhile we have Zelensky's "peace formula" which has been rebranded as his "victory plan". This is essentially Russian capitulation. They want all their land back, reparations and Putin at the Hague. The victory plan also seems to carry the threat of direct NATO involvement ie. WW3. Totally insane in my view.
    1
  6911.  @tulob6f295  I don't think Ukraine has got very long left. They are running out of manpower, especially well trained and motivated manpower. The Western weapons haven't performed well and they are in short supply too. The electric grid is in terrible shape. Meanwhile the Russian army is the largest since the 1980s. Attrition hasn't been all one way but it's been far worse for Ukraine due Russian air, artillery and drone superiority.
    1
  6912.  @tulob6f295  What if the West has run out? There doesn't seem to be any 155mm shells available. Patriot interceptor missiles are also in short supply. Ukraine got all of the S300s and other ex Soviet air defence equipment was left with the ex Sov Blok countries. And all the Migs and SUs. The Western strategy was about causing an economic and social crisis in Russia. This didn't and almost certainly won't happen. Then there is the manpower shortage, the Ukrainians have been forced to mobilize the young of Kiev and Western Ukraine, due to the losses they have taken, this could be the trigger for a popular uprising in my view.

  6918. What a load of old rubbish. Much of the alleged warming can be explained by urban heat island effect. The rest is due to cyclical climate effects - which is why they were telling us an ice age was coming in the 1970s before switching overnight to global warming as the cycle switched. Cold kills far more people than heat, weather disasters kill far fewer than 100 years ago. The problem we have is an out of control elite class who want to make us poor and disenfranchised.
    1
  6919.  @RaRa-eu9mw  The supposed warming is due in a large part to where the measurements were taken. I.e. in urban heat islands. Only use rural locations and the warming disappears. On top of that has been some cyclical changes which are now heading in the cooler direction. It's a hoax like every other Globalist project.

France and others about to invade the sovereign country of Niger (it's alright when we do it) The USA just to cause more chaos in Russia. And of course Ukraine.

  6960.  @blafonovision4342  Western propaganda tries to frame everything as Russian aggression. Reality is NATO has expanded to surround Russia and contain it. If the Globalists want Finland to join NATO they put someone in place to make it happen.

  6961.  @michaeldunham3385  NATO membership was the red line. I doubt the EU will ever accept Ukraine as a member, how long has Turkey been waiting? Personally I don't like the EU and voted for the UK to leave. The prize for the West was Ukraine and Georgia in NATO so that Russia was completely surrounded. The plan was to destabilise Russia, install a new Yeltsin, split into smaller states and plunder the natural resources. Putin stopped all that. The West don't like Ukraine, they just used it as a tool to harm Russia.

  6963. The former ambassador is not living in the real world. It's not Putin who is an impediment to peace, it's Zelelensky. He even made a proclamation that there could be no negotiation. Trump doesn't issue the ultimatum to Putin, he issues it to Zelelensky (or whoever is in charge next January). He says "negotiate your surrender now or we cut off all aid". As for "surging weapons", how exactly would the USA surge weapons into Ukraine? They have already been surged.

  6964.  @kennymiddleton3463  The Russians had 40000 around Kiev. Nowhere near enough to take it. It was never a siege or a serious attempt to capture the city. It was a show of force to scare Zelelensky to the negotiating table. Now they are serious about defeating Ukraine militerally. Not a Blitzkrieg, capture the flag war. Rather a grinding war to completely remove Ukraine's ability to fight back by systemically destroying all the military infrastructure, weapons and unfortunately men.

  6967.  @stream2watch  That's precisely an attrition strategy 🤣. Russia has also developed very effective conservation of forces tactics. This employs Russia's massive advantage in firepower particularly artillery and firepower. Putin previously claimed the attrition ratio was 10 Ukrainian to 1 Russian casualty. Commentators have suggested it's currently 20 to 1 or more.

  6969.  @paulmasterson386  The issue is the metric. Territory captured is sexy but it's enemy neutralised that really counts. And Russia is neutralising a lot of Ukrainians. When there are too few to defend the line then the Russians will be able to take territory with minimal losses. That point is getting very close.

  6972. The Globalists are really starting to panic as the Ukraine proxy war heads towards defeat for NATO, USA, EU and UK.

  6975.  @LV_CRAZY  I don't see it that way. It all depends on who wins in the long-term. The USA has a very bad record in that respect. To date, the Russians are winning hands down, particularly the economic war. The sanctions have proven to be a disaster for the West. They were supposed to cause exploitable turmoil in Russia but instead have convinced countries that their money is not safe in dollars. The diplomatic war has failed too so far. Russia isn't isolated, rather the West seems to be creating an iron curtain between themselves and the rest of the World.

  6976.  @joshuap9580  It's not Russian imperialist aggression, it's self defence. NATO and the EU did the expanding, all the way to the Russian border. That was the aggressive act along with the colour revolution in 2014.

  6977.  @aesma2522  I think you are living in the past. Watch some up to date videos about Russia it's not the same as the Communist days. The supermarkets are overflowing with goods and the economy is doing well. As far as state support for industry I think the US defence budget does that far more than in Russia and it's all funny money created at a keypress backed up by nothing. I would say the USA looks more like the Soviet Union these days.

  6978.  @aesma2522  If many people make videos showing supermarkets, even in small towns, packed with produce at reasonable prices that's good enough for me. Some western brands are missing fast food chains have been rebranded. Starbucks is now Starrs, Macdonald's is some other name and the variety has been improved. Propaganda about starving troops is just that. In fact it's projection because the Ukrainians have a habit of dumping their new conscripts somewhere in no-mans land without sufficient food and water. They don't care because they will probably be dead pretty quickly anyway and the press-gang will bring more cannon fodder to replace them.

  6994.  @robertscott961  There wasn't a will to take the Donbas until 2022. Since then the Russians have waged a largely attritional war to destroy Ukraine's ability to fight. At the same time the Russian force has become much stronger. I expect they would prefer to take Odessa without a fight as part of a surrender settlement but otherwise they have the troops to take it by force. Kadyrov has recently stated he thinks taking Kiev would be easier than Mariupol, that's his assessment.

  7012. So, Russia blew up the Kharkova dam, reducing water supply to the ZNPP nuclear plant they control, reducing water supply to Crimea they occupy, washing away all the landmines they planted and now it also makes it easier for the Ukrainians to cross the river. Doesn't sound like a particularly convincing motive to me.

  7025.  @Brian-om2hh  It appears they are fighting a war of attrition. This is dull to observers used to the "shock and awe" that the USA has been able to wage against far inferior forces like IRAQ. Ukraine has an effective NATO army with intelligence and other technical assistance supplied by the USA and others. They were very heavily dug in. So the Russians decided to "grind then down" while minimising their own losses and are doing that very effectively.

They expected a dash to Kiev, capture or kill Zelelensky and have a protracted guerilla war against melted away elements of the SBU and army. Like the USA's failed Iraq war. But the Russians instead decided to eliminate the Ukrainian military first. I think the dash to Kiev will probably happen in the end, perhaps to support anti regime elements of the Ukrainian forces sick of being slaughtered.
    1
  7062.  @cog600  As I understand it, the withdrawal from Kiev occurred as a goodwill gesture when the Russians thought the April 2022 peace deal was agreed. Then Bojo went to Kiev and told Zelensky to reject the deal. There were never enough troops to take Kiev with a fight anyway. The Kherson and Kharkiv "offensives" were actually Russian strategic withdrawals because the lines were so stretched as to be indefensible. They withdrew and Ukraine advanced while taking heavy casualties. Ukraine has never really recaptured any large towns/cites. They have only moved in after the Russians have left. Russia has done that in Serverodonetsk, Lysichanck and Bakhmut.

  7105.  @foilhat1138  That's not story I've heard. He asked Clinton who said yes then later his mind was changed by the Globalists and he said no. It's because NATO isn't a defensive alliance intended to maintain peaceful relations, it's an offensive alliance intended to maintain US hegemony by conquering Russia and then China. Now that might be a laudable aim but it's also far too dangerous for my liking.

  7106.  @TimVoktwo  So the French will send the Foreign Legion to suppress the uppity natives. Doesn't that rather confirm the charge of colonialism? Another massive diplomatic disaster in the making? Then they get pitted against the Wagner group and potentially get their arses handed to them too. Apparently the Legion only numbers 9000 men according to Wiki. Yup going to be a massive embarrassment and probably finally see the back of Macron and bring in Presidente Le Pen.

My concern is to avoid a nuclear holocaust and expanding NATO to Russia's border is the easiest way to provoke one. Ukraine should have implemented Minsk, and failing that accepted the peace offer last April. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.
    1
  7124.  @kevingil1817  "Tactical withdrawal" - Yes, same in Kharkiv. Ukraine hasn't actually recaptured anywhere. the initial invasion was underpowered because it was really intended to force a negotiation. So the Russians needed to pull back to defensible positions after that Ukraine moved in unopposed. The same will happen in reverse if Ukraine collapse which is a likely end to this conflict.
    1
  7125.  VINLAND_777  The Russians aren't interested in a land grab, it's already the biggest country in the world and massively underpopulated🤣 They just don't want hypersonic nuclear missiles 3 minutes from Moscow. Ukraine had a simple way out through neutrality but they were convinced by idiots in the USA UK NATO and EU, i.e Globalists, who told them they could beat Russia and that clown was Churchill 2.0. They were conned.

  7126.  @kevingil1817  I was talking about cities being recaptured by force rather than simply reoccupied after the Russians withdrew. Ukraine hasn't recaptured any while Russia has captured Lysichansk and Bakhmut as well as smaller ones. Biggest hamlet Ukraine has actually recaptured is Robotyne.

  7144.  @foilhat1138  So nuking a hurricane has been suggested by people in the past. You could look that up if you could be bothered. It's not an outrageous idea but it's not practical because nukes aren't sufficiently powerful and due to concerns about radiation. UV light can be used to disinfect and has been used against viruses in blood. Trump isn't a scientist but comparing the ridiculous COVID policies that were foisted on him, and us all, he seems far more rational than the supposed experts.

Ukraine offensive going as predicted by truth telling commentators ie. completely ineffective and an abject slaughter of Ukrainian conscripts. Nothing to talk about at Vilnius NATO conference so come up with the most ridiculous conspiracy theory yet. Why would Pooty blow his own nuclear power station (which he has extensively fortified)?

It's clear that Zelensky has no real ability to influence the outcome in Ukraine, he's entirely dependent on the USA and others. He's also operating as a dictator in his own country (it's unclear whether he has the constitutional right to sign any peace deal) and has no political future once the war is ended. So why would he be included in peace talks between the real sides when it's to his personal advantage to keep the war going as long as possible?

  7182. Too late for the Neocon Globalists to cry about a Russian/Chinese alliance it's their own fault. By trying to destroy Russia they have forced it to look eastwards. Putin repeatedly tried to join NATO but was rebuffed because the whole point of NATO was to destroy Russia and allow it to be gobbled up by the Globalist vulture capitalists.

  7186.  @cyberfunk3793  You know that Russia builds satellites, rockets, and hydrogen bombs? They also create new chemical elements.

  7188. There was nearly an end to the conflict last March. Main issue for the Russians was absolutely no NATO membership for Ukraine. The Biden regime and associated low IQ ghouls in the EU and NATO thought they could beat Russia with a combination of sanctions on Russia and military aid for Ukraine. The great thing was that none of the gender fluid NATO troops needed to get their fingernails broken with all that nasty fighting as the Ukrainians would do it all for them. As we see that was a terrible plan and has failed miserably. When the aid is cut off, Ukraine collapses and surrenders, then Russia determines what bits they want to keep and the rest stays out of NATO.

  7189. Just admit Ukraine has lost and the West's strategy has been a failure. It will happen eventually but they are desperate to keep things going until after the US elections to protect Geriatric Joe Biden and his team of Neocon ghouls.

Jan 6 was clearly full of (federal) agent provocateurs. It was intended to prevent Trump from standing again and frame his supporters as domestic terrorists. The latest debacle of taking him off the ballot is such an overt banana republic action it has damaged the US reputation in the whole world. The Biden regime are the nastiest most desperately power hungry cabal I can remember.

  7211. Won't get to that, the Supreme court will overturn any convictions on constitutional and overreach grounds.

  7213. Most sensible commentators say it was to capture the Kursk NPP as a bargaining chip. With a secondary aim to make the Russians redirect reserves from Donbass.

  7216. If the USA could put "Putin's" (I think you mean Russia's) economy into freefall, then why hasn't that happened over the last three years? Trump needs to cut off Ukraine's aid and concentrate on foreign issues which are relevant to the USA's national interest, such as acquiring Greenland and securing the Panama Canal. These are very important to the USA - Ukraine isn't.

  7217. Perhaps Europe should have tried to get along with Russia rather than antagonise it. The European Globalist elite is impoverishing it's citizens with ridiculous "Green" policies which rob the poor to give to the rich. They have tried to destroy national identity with mass immigration both legal and illegal. And now they want to start WW3 and expect the USA to bail them out when it inevitably turns to rat doodoo. Trump says no thanks and that's obviously the correct approach.

Times, Why don't we hear about "Sunak's plan to deploy Marines in Ukraine", "What has Sunak got planned to defeat Russia" , "Sunak misses trip to Checkers - experts say this could mean he fell over and soiled his pants " etc. The reason is there is a large cabinet, parliament, civil service, military etc. who actually do most things.

There is a shortage of 155mm and apparently only about 300 working tubes, less every day. Most of the tanks have been destroyed hence tha panic to supply inappropriate Western ones. It's not a glamorous Shock and Awe victory against a non peer army that the Americans love. It's a stoic grinding victory like WW2.

  7375.  @Dafnessific  No I'm just stating facts. Check them for yourself. This is why Putin went through the process of having Donetsk and Luhansk declare independence. They were then recognised by Russia and a few other places as sovereign. Then Russia could be invited to assist them militarily. This was the exact process that the USA/NATO used with Kosovo. That's why the ICC was forced to use a total nonsense charge for the stupid arrest warrant.

  7376.  @Dafnessific  As I understand it the overwhelming majority of the people in the republics wished to join the Russian federation. They had referendums to demonstrate that, even though everyone knows it's the case anyway. The equivalent for Kosovo will be joining the EU.

  7434.  @LUCES_INTERMITENTES  The Russians have a comprehensively formulated nuclear doctrine. It's very likely that commanders on the ground have the capability to launch tactical strikes without any further authorisation. In the Cuban missile crisis the captain of a Russian submarine was within a hair's breadth of attacking the US fleet with a "special" torpedo. That would have probably sunk or disabled sunk the entire fleet. Full escalation from that was extremely likely.

  7441. Putin was clear from the start, demilitarisation and denazification. So it's a war of attrition where the Russians have a massive advantage in firepower. When the West enables the war to continue by sending arms and money all that happens is more Ukrainians and (at a much lower rate) Russians die. It's a pretty cowardly tactic really - using Ukrainians as canon fodder in our proxy war against Russia.
    1
  7442. @Pho-King Soup I'm not sure the Russian weapons are much worse. We'll see how well the Patriot fares when it gets there. The media concentrates on territory while the Russian goal is destroying the Ukrainian army. As casualty figures are unreliable from both sides, gauging who is winning isn't easy. There are unconfirmed reports that hospitals and morgues in Kiev are overflowing with casualties from Bakhmut.
    1
  7443. @Pho-King Soup Again not a real issue. The Russians retreated because they were under resourced and couldn't adequately defend the area. In Kherson they also evacuated the Russian speaking civilians to avoid retribution from the Ukrainians as has happened elsewhere. I think that was a difficult move politically but a very sound one militarily. Now another 300000+ reservists are entering the conflict along with modern equipment so we'll see how that affects things.

By the time bomb production had ramped up to make this possible Russia had already detonated their version "Joe-1" so the plan was shelved.

They never said that, everyone acknowledges that the initial push in that direction was just to get Zelelensky to negotiate. When they thought it had worked they pulled the forces back. But he uses it as an example of how Russia is no more capable than Ukraine, which is exactly the stupidity which has got Ukraine destroyed and their population decimated.

So we need to massively scale back NATO, in the way that Russia proposed prior the Ukraine war, and use the money saved on domestic projects.

They are owned by the same people who benefit from war. I think we can safely assume the Budapest memorandum is dead due to Ukraine's bad behaviour. So what we need is a new settlement between the parties such as Russia's new European security framework. The Globalists don't want that just yet because they still haven't given up on the idea of plundering Russia.

The narrative that the Russia is weak and their weapons are inferior and or ineffective is allowing the political class to push us towards nuclear war without the public understanding the danger. As Tucker Carlson suggested recently there is a strong possibility of the desperate Biden regime starting a hot war with Russia for political reasons and that escalates to a full nuclear exchange.

  7585.  @RaRa-eu9mw  Apparently that's Russian doctrine. First line meant to fail (in well designed places) second meant to hold. Seems like a solid plan to me. The only way Ukraine was going to succeed was if they threw everything in one direction and achieved local superiority. They haven't done that, probably because their leadership is totally dysfunctional. There's a video of the new defence minister giving a speech in the Rada (parliament). Nobody is taking any notice of him. They are all just talking amongst themselves like a class of unruly school kids. 🤣🤣🤣. The Generals all hate each other too apparently.

  7638.  @AkeN996  The Russians had destroyed the original Ukraine army but then NATO entered the conflict with weapons supplies and intelligence support. The conflict had changed so the Russians withdrew from indefensible positions and began the very serious military build up we see now. They are ready for all out war against NATO in Ukraine and that is a very worrying situation. It's time for the Neocons to admit project Ukraine has failed and sue for peace. Unfortunately I'm not sure the Russians will even consider peace talks until they have won on the battlefield and Zelelensky has been deposed or killed.

Now Ukraine has burnt through all its ammo and a large chunk of NATO's and Bakhmut, critical to the defence of Donbas is about to fall. The Russian economy will likely be doing better than ours this year and Putin is more popular than ever. Why exactly would Russia want to stop now?

  7716.  @RaRa-eu9mw  Sean is a stranger to the truth, in public at least. He says Russia has lost it's manpower advantage because of battles in Bakhmut. Well most of the Russian casualties there have been Wagner in street fights. But these have followed massive artillery attacks which have caused the majority (75% +) of Ukrainian losses (disease and even hypothermia are also quite common). So actual shooting battles are quite rare. Very few of the 500,000+ Russian mobilized troops have even entered the front line yet. Given that "inaccuracy" I doubt anything else he has to say is correct, other that Ukraine isn't going to win this year. They are not going to win full stop and this offensive will just be to impress the western media.

This is a TV/PR war for the Zelensky regime who are just the management layer between the Biden Neocons like Nuland and Blinken and the Ukrainian cannon fodder. They want big offensives taking territory so that this can be fed to the Western audience and are prepared to take huge casualties to get it. They couldn't care less about the Ukrainian people and are prepared to have them all killed and maimed to retain power. The Russians have been careful to minimise their casualties and have so far adopted a war of attrition tactics - which they are winning with hands down.

NATO could have stopped it before the invasion, Stoltenberg admitted that. Then Zelelensky could have curtailed it, retaining all his country in March 22 but Bojo told him not to. This act has probably cost 1/2 million Ukrainian lives with many more ruined - all for naught.

  7771.  @paulgibbon5991  Don't see the connection. Do you think that Russia would still have invaded if the Minsk agreements had been implemented ? It's well established that it was Ukraine and the West who reneged on them, considering them a ruse to allow Ukraine to be militarised for an eventual attack on Russia. Merkel and Poroshenko were candid about that. Bit like the Molotov Von Ribbentrop pact. Russia is going to demand an unconditional surrender this time.

There were rumour that this was why Sunak called the election because he didn't want to be responsible for WW3.

The vast majority of the Russian people support them. They also support the Wagner fighters but didn't support the coup attempt at all. The scenes of joy in Rostov was after the coup was put down more or less bloodlessly. Wagner have been stripped off their heavy weapons and most of the troops are being absorbed into the Russian army.

  7794.  @dpelpal  Actually no. Kiev/Sumy withdrawal was a goodwill gesture while the peace talks were ongoing. Kherson/Kharkiv were tactical withdrawals because at the time the Russian lines were too stretched and undermanned. They inflicted serious casualties on Ukraine while withdrawing so they were actually attrition victories. Ukraine has legitimately recaptured some territory in this offensive - apparently around a quarter of a percent of what Russia had at the peak.

  7797.  @ILoveBees  I believe the opposite. Ukraine has recaptured a tiny amount of territory in this offensive but at a terrible and unsustainable cost in men. It's difficult to be sure because of the lack of transparency regarding casualty rates but that's my impression.

  7804.  @SlowhandGreg  Being serious rather than my initial flippant comment, the Russians define winning in terms of destroying Ukraine's ability to fight - "Demilitarisation". They aren't bothered about large territorial gains so far but do want to secure the Donbas as we see by the offensives in Avdiivka, Bakhmut and Marinka etc.

  7818.  @innsmouthresident6802  Like what? Apparently Russia believes it could take out the UK and French deterrents. They have better submarines and much faster missiles. So we would have to create a counterbalance for that. Dominic Cummins has said that if the USA withdraws support for Trident it will cost the UK 100 billion a year for years to replace it with homegrown.

  7819. ​ @innsmouthresident6802  In fact I believe I'm pretty well up on the facts. I was right that Russia wouldn't collapse, the 2023 offensive would be a disaster, so would Kursk. The idea that the Americans are going to allow a nuclear arms race in Europe while they are negotiating arms reduction with the Russians is fanciful. And anyway they have already lost it because Russia is decades ahead of the UK and France.

Which would need HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OVER MANY YEARS to replace if Pentagon pulls the plug" Starmer and Macron need to wind their necks in, in my view.

Of course in reality white hats are few and far between and the deep state are mainly self-serving Globalist bureaucrats who don't give a rats derrière about morals or the USA.

  7827.  @silverhost9782  That's just propaganda. The Leopard 2s are marginally better than T-72s in urban environments. In the Ukraine countryside the greater weight and size will offset that. As for the bus sized Challengers - they are going to get stuck. Not appropriate for the situation that's why every ex soviet T-72 was shipped to Ukraine to be destroyed. Even some from Morocco being repaired in the Czech republic apparently 🤣 Other downsides, no autoloader so another skilled crewman required. Rifled bore on the Challenger. Minimal crew experience. Nowhere near enough of them to make a difference.

  7828.  @jinpingthebear110  Actually yes. Ukraine had a lot of tanks in service compared to the UK or Germany. They were one of the best "NATO" armies being trained by the USA UK and others.

  7829.  @danielclements8739  You are wrong, there is conscription of women and has been since late 2021.

Under the looming threat from Russia, new legislation was enacted on 21 December 2021 requiring women to register for military service, if they are deemed medically fit for military service, are between the ages of 18 and 60, and work in specific professions."

The Ukrainian army is a mess of recently press-ganged conscripts, who don't want to be there, armed with a mystery box of obsolete western weapons systems, much of which lies burnt out on the steppe.

  7879.  @badluck5647  Depends what the objective was. Russia wasn't ready for an offensive until now so allowing the Ukrainians to expend their resources uselessly seems a fair tactic to me. Another hint that this is true is that the spin doctors have recently tried to say Ukraine was doing the same thing. Now I believe that most of the 77th Brigade are Gen Z with useless media/journalism degrees and rather than be baristas they joined up to be keyboard warriors. As such they are too lazy to come up with their own ideas so repurposed exactly what all informed commentators were saying regarding Russia's strategy in Bakhmut since last year. Prigozhin has said that was the strategy developed with Suroviken.

  7888. NATO is a Globalist talking shop. It couldn't win a conventional ground war against Russia in Ukraine. Who's going to fight it? What are they going to fight it with? Ukraine has around 400,000 dead and at least as many severely wounded. No western Europe country is going to get involved with that over Ukraine or any of the other former Sov Blok states. Their public wouldn't accept it for a microsecond. So if Article 5 is triggered over anything but a full scale Russian invasion of western Europe NATO would simply fall apart.

This is because the Yanks know Ukraine has lost and has no chance of recovering it's lost territory, which is what Seymour Hirch is reporting from military sources. They desperately want to freeze the conflict Korea style to buy time for a Democrat to have a chance of winning, by hook or by crook, the 2024 election. So they need the expansion into Poland theory to try to keep Ukraine afloat with US cash and weapons even though the congress has no inclination to throw good money after bad.

The ease it was diffused without Prigozhin receiving support from any part of the Russian state actually shows how strong Putin's position is, despite Neocon wishes that it was otherwise. It won't stop them pushing the narrative obviously.

The ultimate aim is to split up and exploit Russia, which is worth trillions. They are dangerous enemies and even more dangerous friends.

  7949. Hmm I thought doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results was a sign of madness. The Russians aren't trying to win hearts and minds any more, they are trying to utterly destroy the Ukrainian military, economy and finally state.

I don't think it's even worked for that, due to the hypocrisy of ignoring the tangible war crimes of Western leaders such as Bush and Blair.

After NATO had done all the things to Serbian infrastructure that we are so concerned about Russia doing to Ukraine today. But we were the good guys, it was Clinton and Blair's "ethical foreign policy" to bomb Belgrade. The World is getting fed up of the Liberal World Order which is neither Liberal nor Orderly

I think after the attempts to discredit bankrupt and jail him for life and after getting shot in the ear he is taking all these people far more seriously this time.

  7998. Russia and China are not military threats to the UK. Russia would not want the UK if it was offered for a pound. Rather, as has been shown by the hysterical response to a regional dispute in Russia's backyard, we are a threat to Russia. We have gone full scale economic war against Russia, stealing it's foreign assets and those of it's unfortunate citizens. We have attempted to ruin Russia's economy and by that overthrow the government there. All the sanctions were being prepared months before the first incursion into Ukraine showing intent. Also according to Seymour Hirsch's sources the USA was in the process of creating a plan for a terrorist attack against German and Russian infrastructure. I'm very thankful the Russians have been so cool headed with the UK so far.

And I don't see any chance of a US "backstop" for Starmers crazy UK expeditionary force to the Donbas.

  8062. The Biden ghouls want to walk away from Ukraine after the impotent counteroffensive. They want Ukraine to negotiate a ceasefire in time for the election. But they have built up the useless inexperienced puppet leader as Churchill and he won't play ball, so they need to knock him down again. How does the projecting Neocon West delegitemise a leader? They call them "autocratic".

  8065. What isn't "Putin's" plan 🤣 The reality is that the mess that Ukraine finds itself in is the Neocon's plan to destroy Russia using Eastern Europe to provide the manpower. The Neocon USA was going to be with Ukraine "for as long as it takes" Unfortunately most Neocons are dual citizenship Jews and Israel is far more important to them, so tough luck Ukraine you really weren't so vital after all.

  8066.  @officialsnufkin  Now now, doxxing is naughty lol. I don't think the Russian casualties have been as enormous as you do. They will have been larger around Avdiivka but they have now secured very strategic positions on the waste heap overlooking the chemical plant. There are no Ukrainian advances as far as I can see. Ok they've got a small bridgehead over the river. Actually that proves who destroyed the Kharkovka dam doesn't it. They wanted to clear the minefields and reduce the river just like the Russians said they did.

  8084.  @zoek1133  This whole war is immoral. It could have been prevented by accepting Russia's legitimate concerns about NATO expansion. The problem is the USA has the best government money can buy. The Globalists (Soros large among them) had a plan to take down Russia using western technology and eastern european blood. Ukraine was the centrepiece of that plan. They knew Ukrainian NATO membership was a strict red line for Russia but they pushed it anyway to get the war they wanted. Now it's all gone wrong and Russia is stronger than ever they are in panic mode.

  8088. Total projection once again. The Minsk accords were intended to stop the persecution of Russian speakers in Ukraine. The ultranationalist wanted them wiped out one way or another. Meanwhile the Neolib/con project epitomised by Nuland and her husband Kagen seek to destroy Russian identity by any means too.
    1
  8089. @de caesaris The Minsk agreements did guarantee Ukrainian sovereignty. Autonomy for the ethnic Russian regions is only like Kosovo or Scotland. But for the West and their puppet regime they were only a ruse to give time to build up the Ukrainian army to retake those regions by force. This would be so embarrassing to Putin that this would be the springboard to depose his government in a "Colour revolution" i.e. coup d'etat. That was the theory of Nuland Kagen Blinken Sullivan Soros et. al. The unfortunate Ukrainians were merely pawns in this great game.

  8096. The Russians have stated they don't care about having their foreign reserves stolen. They will simply seize western assets in retaliation and also launch a concerted legal battle. It's Euroclear and other Western financial institutions which are vehemently against the move as it will likely lead to capital flight by many other countries. Euroclear also believe it will leave them legally liable in various jurisdictions outside of the EU.

  8116. Where the heck does this guy get his information from. It's NATO which will take years to replace all the old junk they sent to Ukraine. The USA is having to buy millions of shells from South Korea because the West hasn't got the industrial base to make them. Russia is producing ammo and modern weapons at a rate we can only dream of. Russian military capability now is greater than the start of the conflict whereas NATO is running on empty.

The Russians haven't and they are making so many shells they don't even need to buy any from Belarus this year. By contrast the UK armed forces are a complete joke we would even have great difficulty retaking the Falklands these days. This is due to NATO membership which has allowed us to have a small army and very small native arms production. (30,000 shells a year or 1 days supply for Russia in Ukraine)

Ukraine has lost this conflict, the counteroffensive is a complete failure The reality is the only way they could have succeeded is if the Russians had retreated like they did last year. But they didn't, they stood and fought and totally outclassed the Ukraine forces and western weapons. "Russia might go nuclear" that in a sane world with sane people in charge would get the West dropping Ukraine immediately. Ukraine is not worth that risk.

They impeached him twice on bogus charges. 51 intelligence officials said that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. There was no peaceful transfer of power in 2016 but there was in 2020 except for a false flag so called insurrection on J6 which the media insists was worse than Pearl harbour.

There were no attempts to prevent this conflict, in fact Bojo scuppered the peace talks last April. So keep chanting "Russian aggression" as much as you like but the public are starting to see through that narrative.
    1
  8172.  @wilma_balls  The evidence strongly suggests that Putin doesn't want cause mass Ukrainian civilian casualties or general destruction of civilian infrastructure. There is speculation that it's due to a combination of sentimentality for Ukrainian people and to avoid giving the West a pretext to become directly involved.

  8175.  @FishandHunt  Yeah yeah, Kiev in three days. I doubt any truthful informed commentator believes that. To labour the point again, there weren't sufficient Russian troops to do that. However as time goes on the Russian forces are increasing in strength while the Ukrainian are being exhausted so I wouldn't exclude the possibility of a genuine dash for Kiev at some point.
    1
  8176.  @-BuddyGuy  So the point is that given the drastic under manning of the invasion force it's clear that Kiev was not a military target of the initial invasion. It was a show of force to demonstrate that the Russians weren't bluffing and to get Zelelensky to the negotiating table. That worked but Biden and Bojo torpedoed the peace talks in April. Undermanning was also the root cause of the successful (in terms of territory) Kharkiv and Kherson counteroffensives. These can be really be seen at strategic withdrawals by the Russians. Now fast forward to June of this year. After hyping it and describing in detail what the objectives were in the media for 6 months, the sea of Asov offensive started. This time with the Ukes outnumbered and outgunned. If you want to see a complete failure of military planning this is it. To compound it the offensive had 3 axis which diluted any local superiority that might have been achieved. Another fatal military misjudgement. As a result tens of thousands of western trained troops and hundreds of western supplied armoured vehicles were wasted for nothing. The historians will see this as the critical military disaster of the conflict in my view.
    1
  8177.  @-BuddyGuy  It makes no sense to you because you've been brainwashed 😂. We don't know why Hostomel was an initial target. Perhaps the Russians thought Zelelensky would say eff this for a game of soldiers and fly off to Miami with his loot.

  8179. Back to slagging off Russian weapons, will the fighting with shovels canard be reprised next? There is no evidence that Russia has a lack of anything, Ukraine however is short of everything including manpower. That's why they have sealed their border as tight as North Korea and expect everyone to be liable to be sent to die at the front.

  8180. Clearly the Ukrainians did this in preparation for their last gasp offensive. The Russians aren't thrown by this, they have expected it. Zelelensky has zero credibility outside of the state and corporate media.

  8182.  @marcopalazzo9349  So if there is a route out for the grain why is Russia being blamed for "starving the World"? I tend to believe the Russians that the "grain deal" was a way to send weapons into Odessa in the "empty" grain ships. Also the unmined sea corridor was used to mount sea drone attacks on Sevastopol and the Kerch bridge.

  8183.  @marcopalazzo9349  The Russians could resume the deal if the agreed sanction lifting was implemented. But it looks like they have run out of patience and intend to take Odessa instead.

  8210.  @DissectGibberish  It's a war of attrition, territory is unimportant. What matters is the relative casualty rate and resources. So whether I'm deluded depends on how many men and machines each side is losing and if they can be replaced. I believe Ukraine has lost about ten times the men Russia has from a much smaller (about a fifth) pool and can no longer replace them with equivalents. Similar for machines.

    1
  8220.  @sababugs1125  The deal in April was recognition that Crimea was Russian, autonomy for Donbas, protection for Russian culture and language throughout Ukraine and neutrality so no NATO. That was unacceptable to Biden, Blinken, Nuland, Sullivan, Johnson, Stoltenberg, Van Der Leyen etc. Ukraine may well lose Odessa now though.

  8222.  @sababugs1125  The first phase was really a bluff and a method to get Zelensky to the negotiating table. The second phase was mainly a pause to allow for the mobilization. The third phase has only just started. Also one has to think of the economic part of the hybrid war. They had to stabilise their economy.

My theory is the Ukrainians blew up an empty building using at least 6 Storm Shadows and did it purely for propaganda purposes.

  8241.  @RC-tn3xo  It is a bit frustrating but Putin seems to have decided to do things slowly. This will lead to lower Russian and civilian casualties though. He did say he was going to demilitarise Ukraine, that means removing their army from the battlefield one way or another. I think that's just about complete now. The other part was "denazify" which means regime change. I think that's on the cards very soon.

  8243.  @thebodykeepsthescore2828  That narrative ignores the fact there there has been a war since 2014. Russia is on a humanitarian mission to save ethnic Russians from Ukrainian aggression. That's how the Russians see it anyway. We shouldn't have ever been involved.

Russia has said it may consider that to make us belligerents. The Russians have been clear about the aims. Denazification, demilitarisation, protection for the Russian regions and neutrality for whatever is left of Ukraine when the war ends. Demilitarisation means attrition of the Ukrainian army until it's no longer a threat. Sending tanks just prolongs the suffering for the Ukrainian people.

The counteroffensive was easily defeated by the Russians, despite hundreds of billions of aid, there is no realistic path to victory for Ukraine. They have lost, NATO weapons intelligence and tactics have lost and the Globalist strategy to destroy Russia using Ukrainian blood has been defeated.

  8356. "Telegram has a lack of censorship" the reporter states in a worried tone as if this is a bad thing. Most dangerous misinformation is CAUSED BY CENSORSHIP. The Hunter Biden laptop as a recent example and everything involving COVID. The media loves to lie by omission, if a fact refutes the narrative you are pushing just memory hole it. The big fact the media is remarkably uninterested in with this conflict is Ukrainian casualty figures. It's likely that irretrievable Ukrainian losses (killed and badly wounded) are well over 1/2 million but there is no interest in discovering the truth. Inflated Russian casualty figures supplied by Ukraine are shouted from the rooftops. The oligarch media is an active participant in this conflict and looks set to be destroyed by it like Ukraine.

    1
  8385. Seems highly implausible to me. The western media keeps pushing very far fetched conspiracy theories involving Putin. He's got cancer and Parkinson's and the dark forces in Russia are just about to dispatch him in a cellar or poison his tea etc. This is predicated on Russia doing very badly in the war and running out of fighting shovels while the Ukrainians have access to the latest game changing wonder weapon from the rapidly depleting NATO armouries and so on. Reality is the war is going fine for Russia they have blown up Ukraine's weapons and arms stocks and are in the process of blowing up NATOs. They have destroyed one NATO standard army and are now doing the same to the hastily reconstituted replacement comprising of press-ganged teenagers and old men. Putin has an approval rating in the high 80s whereas western leaders are generally loathed. So overall I would be very surprised although the Ukrainians may get some suicidal Neo-Nazis together in Wagner garb to attack a soft target in Russia to promote the idea.

  8391. Throwaway comment about Putin in the middle of a reminiscing interview about his glory days. Russia is winning and it's known that control over the SMO is entirely with the Generals now. Putin has removed himself from the process. Now the politicians interfering in the conflict are Zelelensky and the Biden regime. We know that because this current counteroffensive makes no military sense. This is because of the lack of forces, insurmountable Russian defenses and most importantly no air cover or air defence. The only reason is political i.e. to do something before the NATO conference in July.

As for the other thing we've had one authority figure after another stating that the Russians have failed in some regard and Putin will be deposed. No evidence to back that up whatsoever, just wishful thinking in my view. If they had a real analysis of both sides failures and losses. Described all Zelelensky's character flaws. Explained exactly why the UK has been supporting NAZIs for 8+ years. Then I would have more respect for them.

I think this was part of an attempted colour revolution which would have been launched on the back of the sanctions if they had been effective rather than blowing up in the West's collective faces. . Given the failure of the sanctions and the accident rate among Russian oligarchs Putin is probably ok for now.

Putin recently described exactly what happened. As soon as they withdrew the dishonest counterparty, under instructions from Washington and London tore up the deal. Then the war really started and Russia consolodated the Donbas destroying much of Ukraine's military equipment in the process. They were defeated but NATO supplied all the ex Soviet equipment they had in their arsenals and enabled the Kherson and Kharkiv offensives.

Then there is the moral dimension - the USA is using Ukrainian conscript cannon fodder instead of American, this is the real benefit to the USA.

All of those w⚓s were Ukraine connected, Fiona Hill (also Soros), Marie Yovanovitch, the Vindmans etc. The potential assassin had also been working with mercenaries in Ukraine. And of course Zelensky's phone call was the ridiculous pretext. So I doubt President Trump could care less about the, now dictatorial, Zelensky regime.

This almost led to the American fleet blockading Cuba being destroyed by a nuclear torpedo in 1962. Also Putin has a "nuclear football" (actually briefcase) which is with him at all times.

  8633. The energy warfare was by the Biden regime who undoubtedly blew up Nordsteam consigning Germany and the rest of Europe to decline and deindustrialisation.

  8634. ​ @jon3151  Actually, that's about right. They built up the Ukrainian army with the intent to retake Crimea and Donbas. They were about to attack and that was the trigger for the intervention at the request of the breakaway republics (now officially part of Russia)

  8642.  @1midnightfish  A lot to unpack there. First we can forget about voters in the Russian controlled areas, they are now part of Russia. Expats could be handled by Ukrainian embassies, assuming they dare register and risk being sent to pointless slaughter on the front line. Internally there should be no real issue. Russia managed the plebiscites in the breakaway oblasts ok. The reason Zelensky won't go to the polls is that he would lose, first his position, then his freedom and finally his life most likely.

  8644.  @gintasvilkelis2544  The war in 2014 was instigated by the USA when they installed their proxy Poroshenko as leader of Ukraine via a colour revolution coup. We know that to be the case because Victoria Nuland was discussing who should it should be weeks before it happened. That was the trigger for the dissent in the Donbass. Russia didn't attack Ukraine, they recognised the Donbass as independent and then intervened on their behalf to protect them from genocide. Same as the NATO rationale in Serbia.

  8646.  @bellbookcandle3051  They seem to have been right about the offensive. They said it would be nearly impossible and that seems to be the case. Many of the blowhard ex Generals said that Ukraine would sweep down to the sea of Asov and split the land bridge in this offensive. Others have claimed they would remove Russia from Crimea. Not sure if Sean did, he was very enthusiastic about the western tanks which have been a total flop so far.

  8647.  @bellbookcandle3051  Here is Sean hyping western tanks Only 5 months ago. They have performed worse than the ex Soviet ones the Ukrainians were familiar with, many already destroyed. Ritter and Macgregor were 100% right in their assessment that these systems would actually hinder rather than help. But the West has no choice because there are no more ex Soviet to send. https://youtu.be/G3IEkd5eOlM

  8649.  @bellbookcandle3051  I suggest you give your scrying ball a bit of a wipe as Ukraine has no chance of winning militarily. The hope for the West is that the conflict becomes unpopular in Russia due to losses and combined with economic and diplomatic sanctions they could get their desired for regime change. This is also a pipe dream at this point. The Neocons have far less concern for Ukrainians than the Russians do. The Neocons just see them as pawns on the Grand Chessboard. I would say they haven't got any concern for British citizens either and would not be too bothered if we all die in a nuclear war. F-16s will be as ineffective as the tanks and direct NATO involvement will see those troops die just like the Ukrainians in my opinion.
    1
  8650.  @daydays12  I think blowhard is reasonable given the kind of tripe these people have propagated for the last 15 months. They wanted the public to believe the Russians were weak so they would support the incredibly reckless escalations we've seen from the West. It's worse than just hubris, it's the disinformation they accuse the Russians of.

  8651.  @Bobby-fj8mk  I don't think we've seen the Russians attempt a combined arms offensive yet. The focus has been on attrition. So I'll reserve judgement on the Russian tanks till that happens, probably later this summer.

  8653.  @Burt-o3l  They are taking territory including Donbas but the aims of the SMO were: 1. Demilitarization which means destroying Ukraine's army. 2. Denazification which means regime change. They are doing that while minimizing Russian losses - so slowly.

The rest was balancing the books for weapons already supplied and contracts to refill US stockpiles. Our 500 million is peanuts. The objective of this is try to prevent Ukraine collapsing before the US election. They can't possibly win because the west hasn't got the industrial base required to match the Russians. And in any case they are running out of men.

The mistake in this case being to try to hold Bakhmut because you had grifted (and likely stolen) billions from the USA on the back of "Fortress Bakhmut". They kept coming and the Russians kept killing them. I think perhaps the Russians decided to end it for the year anniversary of Mariupol because it's a moral boost for the Russians and moral punch to the nuts for the Ukrainians just before the very ill advised, western demanded, "counteroffensive".

Ukraine has been depopulated for the sake of a corrupt Globalist political class who couldn't care less about the people of Ukraine.

  8715. Neocon princess. "Ukraine’s victory ‘prevents’ China from taking Taiwan" Of course the opposite it true, by depleting USA and NATO stockpiles it makes a war with China much more difficult.

BRICS too, possibly a gold backed trading currency. The Biden regime has completely messed this up.

They would accomplish this by a war of attrition. Obviously they want to capture the whole of Donbas and the other 2 regions but the main aim is to critically weaken Ukraine both militarily and economically so they can't fight and the government collapses. Because of western interference that is taking a long time.

Or the way "collaborators" are dealt with. Re-branding Neo-Nazis as freedom fighters. All the corruption. The massive new cemeteries filled with the dead. Reporting Ukrainian lies with zero fact checking. It's completely one sided and will be a stain on the entire corporate media for years to come.

Ukraine is a poor, highly corrupt country run by vicious kleptocrats and NAZIs who are decimating their population in service to the neocolonial West who want to pillage Russia.

Russia is doing fine, we are the ones at risk of famine due to our elites' crazy policies. NK did OK during the cold war and it's likely the sanctions will help them as Russia needs foreign workers, perhaps weapons etc. Ukraine however has no industry and dwindling manpower. Now they are "recruiting" in Kiev I expect the public to become increasingly hostile to the Zelensky regime.

  8769. But Tobias' 77th Brigade told us Russia would be ruined by the sanctions and Pooty would be "liquidated" by his colleagues. Then they said Russia would run out of shells and missiles in two weeks and Pooty would be put on trial for war crimes. Then they said the Ukrainian counter attack was on its way to Crimea and Pooty was dying of cancer with parkinsonism and about to be deposed in a popular uprising. They said the Rouble would be rubble and grabbing Roman Abramovich's treasure would definitely lead to Pooty being overthrown. Then they said if Ukraine had our cast off tanks (after getting them running again) they would storm to Moscow shouting eff off Russian artillery and again Pooty would be deposed and the Western vultures would descend on the corpse of Russia to divide it up between Goldman Sachs, BP and Blackrock. And so on. Bit of a credibility gap there Tobias.

Under the policy, the US recognises and has formal ties with China rather than the island of Taiwan, which China sees as a breakaway province to be unified with the mainland one day. The One China policy is a key cornerstone of Sino-US relations. It is also a fundamental bedrock of Chinese policy-making and diplomacy. However, it is distinct from the One China principle, whereby China insists Taiwan is an inalienable part of one China to be unified one day."

  8836.  @deanrobinson4129  That didn't happen. Russia has used superior firepower to greatly supress resistance before infantry battles to take ground. Prizhozen's Wagner was a bit of an exception but I think that was deliberate because he was really working for the West.

  8837. ​@ The Russians had been invited in by the independent LPR and DPR republics after entering a security pact with them. That's why "invasion" isn't an appropriate term. NATO used exactly the same rationale to "invade" Serbia.

  8838.  @deanrobinson4129  The educated view is that Russia has had 100,000 KIA and about the same WIA which are big losses compared to the USA in Vietnam say. But Ukraine has had 10 times more. Wagner wasn't working for the West but it's quite likely Prighozen was for many years in my view. Remember his "troll farm" was a major pretext for the Russia hoax against President Trump.
    1
  8839. @userxyz64  According to the Cambridge Dictionary an invasion is "an occasion when an army or country uses force to enter and take control of another country" That clearly wasn't the case. The incursion in the south was intended to protect the citizens of the LPR and DPR and other ethnic Russians who were being oppressed by the Kiev government. While the incursion towards Kiev was a show of force to get Ukraine to the negotiating table and pin down forces from attacking in the south.

They have done five rounds of mobilization to maintain the fight.

Also it looks like China and India will come to an arrangement regarding their outstanding border disputes.

A handful of tanks which may never actually arrive is not going to make a bit of difference. It's a PR stunt which is all Zelelensky has the capability to do. He's hated by the majority of Ukrainians due to his insincerity and incompetentance.

  8904. @vikingspud  The Chinese are doing very well because of Globalism and it's currently 97 Rubles to the Dollar. Anyway exchange rates aren't the whole picture. Only really affects foreign goods and services. Purchasing Power Parity is a better measure of economic health. Russia is doing far better than any European country in terms of PPP.
    1
  8905. @cog600  The World bank has Russia number 4 economy in the World in terms of PPP. This together with a nationalised military industrial complex explains why Russia has got stronger after 3 years of high intensity industrial war and NATO has got weaker.
    1
  8906.  @ll0l0l0lolo0l  UK is tenth in terms of PPP. For ordinary people it's probably far further down the list considering the high taxes and huge energy and housing costs.
    1
  8907. @cog600  Not in PPP terms, which accounts for exchange rate variations and cost of goods in local currency. In PPP it's China, USA, India, Russia... UK is tenth. Given Russia is self-sufficient in military raw materials PPP is the appropriate measure for how able they are to continue to fight.
    1
  8908.  @cog600  Tanks are made in Russia using Russian raw materials paid for in Russian currency. So in Russian currency they have the fourth largest tank production capacity in the Word. But there is a twist because NATO weapons are made by private companies and are far more expensive, even in local currency, than Russian. Also Russia has the kind of surge production which would take the USA years to build up and be prohibitively expensive.
    1
  8909.  @cog600  "so Russia can afford to lose a 1000 tanks to every western built tank?" That's not happening. Ukraine is still getting ex Soviet from various countries. They have gone through a lot of tanks including the supposedly superior western ones.

  8910.  @vikingspud  They have a lot less debt than the US UK and most of Europe.

  8911. Russia has stated the reality on the ground. Ukraine will never get those regions back through negotiations. They are completely off the table as they are now part of Russia. They have also stated that they won't sign any agreement with Zelensky because he's no longer the legitimate President as the Ukrainian constitution doesn't provide a provision to cancel presidential elections. So for peace, Zelensky must go. This should be a decision for the Ukrainian people but they are essentially held hostage by the Kiev government and security state. They have even mined the border with Romania to prevent people getting out of Ukraine.

  8912. Hey Times, don't allow this plonker to call Trump "a convicted felon" or you may get sued. Trump won't be "convicted" until sentencing. And that is never going to happen because the Trump team have lodged a motion to vacate the verdict, which will succeed.

  8924. Apparently the Ukrainians are desperately retreating (or boldly advancing backwards as the Times would put it) from Kursk. They will probably not all make it because they weren't allowed to retreat while Zelensky was begging for more cash in the USA.

  8925.  @Tinfoilhelmets  They convinced Zelensky that Ukraine would win with western support and sanctions on Russia. Ukraine could have stayed intact if the peace deal had been signed in March 2022.

  8926.  @ThomasDanielsen1000  The peace deal only required some autonomy for Donetsk and Luhansk. It was a great deal for Ukraine which instead embanked on the path to total destruction thanks to people like Biden, Johnson Blinken Nuland Sullivan and Stoltenberg and their empty promises.

  8939. Petraeus "They (Ukraine) now have more pilots than they have aircraft". So the Russians have destroyed their air force because they are demilitarizing both Ukraine and NATO.

    1
  8942.  @JoshuaOakley  That's why they withdrew from Sumy and Kiev. The Ukrainians had most of their troops in the Donbas. The Russians never intended to take Kiev, they wanted to scare Zelelensky to the negotiating table. (I assume he thought they would send SF to off him). It worked perfectly and a deal for Ukrainian neutrality was struck so Putin called off the dogs. Unfortunately Spaffer Johnson arrived and scared twitchy Zelelensky the other way so the deal was welched on.
    1
  8943.  @JoshuaOakley  Didn't happen. Some casualties at the airport in Hostomel. Very few tanks destroyed, some allegedly ran out of fuel but that's also likely propaganda. Kharkiv and Kherson "offensives" were also much worse for the Ukrainians. The Russians withdrew largely unscathed to shorter, better defensible front lines. Mariupol, Severodonetsk, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and the summer offensive show what happens when they decide to fight.

  8950.  @Lowezar  Is that the fallback position from, "It was a purely civilian target". It will have been attended by military top brass, they were instructed in the invitation to wear civilian clothes. As usual the Ukes are using human shields by citing this expo in a civilian area.

    1
  8953.  @foilhat1138  I was talking about Ukraine. I'm not saying the Russians are saints but they are definitely being very careful to minimize civilian casualties in this war. Could be a pragmatism, minimizing bad PR in Ukraine and the West as well as not wishing to harm brother slavs more than absolutely necessary, So when the war is over they can put the blame for all the military casualties on the Zelensky regime. "They had a chance to make peace but instead they wasted the manhood of Ukraine for greed and ideology". Or something like that.
    1
  8954. NATO is an anachronism of the cold war that just serves to enrich the military industrial complex. NATO expansion has brought us to the brink of WW3 so it seems like a great idea, to me at least, to scale it back as the Russians proposed to Stoltenberg immediately prior to the start of hostilities in Ukraine.
    1
  8955. So Starmer has arranged a half a trillion investment in the UK for the AI boom he was talking about a couple of days ago? "No" you say 🤨, he was too busy giving away the Chagos Islands and 3 Billion a year to Ukraine for the next 100 years.

It could be a breakdown in communication because it's been alleged that NATO fighters "mercenaries" are operating the air defence systems because the Ukrainians haven't got the required training (same for HIMARS and other advanced systems).

  8964. Right we've done that now Tobias, all the way up to F16s. So what are you suggesting - direct war with Russia? That would be WW3 and would very likely escalate to nuclear weapons Neocons like you are insane ideologues in my view.

  8965. It's been two weeks and they haven't reached the first real defensive line. It's never going to happen. The Ukrainian conscripts know it's an impossible task that's why they are refusing to fight or surrendering.

  8966. I think the huge new cemeteries in Ukraine are evidence you are completely incorrect. Also the videos of thugs bundling unwilling cannon fodder into police vans are also an indication that the war is not going very well for Ukraine. In fact they now want us to deport fighting age males who escaped Ukraine back there to fill the gaps. An entire generation is being destroyed in Ukraine due to our governments' lies and hubris.

I see them capturing/liberating more territory, particularly Kharkiv and Odessa leaving a failed state to be absorbed into the EU destroying that as well.

  9006. I'm unsure whether I really want to live on the moon. Luckily the chances of that being a possibility are vanishingly small. This is the same quandary the West has regading the retaking of Crimea. The West is clearly focused on that goal, as the whole point of Ukraine is to contain then push back Russia. Turning Russias Black Sea naval base into a NATO one seems to have been the prime reason for the 2014 coup. But they also know the Russians would likely use nuclear weapons to prevent that happening, hence the quandary. Luckily for all of us there is virtually no chance that the Ukrainians will be able to get anywhere near Crimea.

  9007.  @nerdyali4154  There is a common purpose between populists and Russia.

And the way the FBI colluded with social media to block Hunter's disgusting laptop contents being published before the 2020 election. Can you provide any examples of actual Russian disinformation rather than FBI disinformation.

  9021. NATO is already involved with the war. They have sent air defence systems to Ukraine - a majority of which along with the original Soviet era ones are now blown to pieces. Of course they could try sending aircraft and I'm sure the Russians would appreciate the experience of using the S400s and S500s to blow them up too. There is a perception problem in Europe. They think they are strong but are weak. That's why they have to use Ukrainian NAZIs to do their fighting for them.

  9026. The SMO has been a success because Russia has won. It's been a total tragedy for Ukraine which has essentially experienced a genocide. They have at least a million dead and severely wounded, it's probably far more than that. That figure is just what the Russian MOD is sure of. Russian casualties have been very high compared to what the USA could accept but still an order of magnitude fewer than Ukraine.

  9085.  @foilhat1138  The correct phrase is "Russia hasn't taken the Donbas so far". They have been waging a war of attrition so taking territory has not been a priority up to now. Gaining the land bridge to Crimes being an exception to that. NATO has been supplying Ukraine and is now short of critical weaponry so they are now weaker because of that. Russia has not lost half of it's army although Ukraine has now lost 3. I believe there has been an order of magnitude fewer casualties on the Russian side and many of those were from LPR and DRP militias and Wagner rather than the Russian army.

Gerans cost about $10,000. Break even point is about 18 rounds per drone. I bet it takes a lot more than that per drone. Also how many rounds are actually available? The disconnect with this whole conflict is that NATO equipped to bomb goatherds who can't shoot back and that's about it.

The latest offensive in Kharkiv has them so stretched that they have had to take troops from other areas as they have no further reserves. Zelensky is illegitimate tomorrow and his mobilization law is very unpopular indeed. I think the end is near.

Ukraine's troops are barely trained at this point, just cannon fodder really. They can't recruit further. Many have escaped to the West and the competent fighters who remained are dead or wounded. That's the sad reality.

And they have repeatedly tried to cause a radiological incident by shelling the Kursk pawer plant.

  9148.  @foilhat1138  It's called analysis. The Russians certainly believe that it was the main objective that's why they are digging trenches round it in case of a breakthrough. The Ukrainians wouldn't employ their best men and machines for a pinning action or PR would they?

  9158.  @bck481  If Russian TV said it they were wrong. Putin said demiliterize and denazify. That's destroy the Ukrainian army and regime change. The West has supported both military and state that's why it's taking a long time.

  9165.  @michaelmazowiecki9195  I'd go further. Even with a "no fly zone" they wouldn't win. The Russian air defence would make mincemeat of NATO planes and the airbases they flew from would be in rubble. Of course that would also be WW3.
    1
  9166.  @_HMCB_  Yes you are missing something, which is the destruction of the newly constituted Ukrainian army and all our game changing weapons. Actually Russia has also made limited territorial gains, they have captured Artyomovsk/Bakhmut and are now on the offensive in the North.

  9167.  @michaelmazowiecki9195  Not really. These are cardboard drones, terrorist style attacks. You aren't going to bust any bunkers with cardboard 🤣 I saw some American plonker wanting to teach the Ukes how to make IEDs. We can see which country is the greatest state sponsor of terrorism.

  9168. The Russian casualty rate has been declining as they achieve ever greater levels of superiority over the Ukrainians. They can maintain the war until there isn't a single Ukrainian left if they need to. Marc is being willfully ignorant of the facts.

  9173. The Russians overwhelming conventional arms superiority is stopping the feeble Ukrainian counter offensive. The western arms have been a complete flop, waiting to see Challenger tanks blown to bits alongside Leopard 2s. Meanwhile people are actually discussing giving Ukraine tactical nuclear weapons. I don't think "insane" adequately describes that prospect. Perhaps insanely genocidal and reckless anti-human madness gets closer to the level of psychosis.

  9174. The Ukrainian's haven't reached the first real defensive line. The offensive is a total disaster and a useless waste of human life.

  9175. There already was a military coup in 2016- It was a generally covert one by the intelligence services (including ours) against Trump. Russia hoax, impeachment one, pandemic (at the very least lockdowns and mail in voting), BLM riots, 2020 election, Jan 6 Fedsurrection, lawfare. It appears to be failing, now the perpetrators are getting worried about their situation.

  9178. The Climate hoax one of the biggest threats to humanity. We can only support the current population because of fossil fuels. They provide heat, light and above all fertilizer for food. These ideologically motivated "green" fanatics are just misanthropic Marxist misfits who want the hungar games in real life.

  9180. This is a soap opera. The real news from this week was the BRICS summit which accepted Saudi Arabia, Iran and the UAE as members from Jan 1st 2024. This is devastating news for the USA. It means 80% of the oil in the World will be produced by BRICS nations and they are in the process of creating a currency and system which will enable the trading of oil in a BRICS currency. They also control much of the USA's foreign government debt. The boot is on the other foot - they will be able to sanction the USA. Tittle tattle about Wagner PMC is an irrelevance.

  9186. This is the fallback narrative because Ukraine, foreign "mercenaries" and newly supplied western equipment failed to capture Kursk nuclear power plant. Most likely the plan was developed by NATO and it failed. So they need to save face by claiming it has diverted troops, which it hasn't to any great extent.

  9189. The Russians are accusing the USA and UK. This does make a lot of sense. The Ukraine counteroffensive has been a disaster for them so far, 2000+ lost in 2 days along with 30 tanks. All of this for no gain whatsoever. Very embarrassing to the Biden regime and the UK government, narrative shift required? Interestingly Cleverly was in Kiev for an impromptu visit - coincidence?
    1
  9190. The Ukrainians are not a reliable source of information. From idiotic claims like "the Ghost of Kiev" to the far more onerous assertion that it was a Russian missile which hit Poland not a Ukrainian S300. If the ZNPP is or perhaps appears to be damaged the Ukrainians did it to get NATO involved.

  9212.  @tomokaramolko8560  Er no. Probably less than 20000 KIA Russians and quite a few foreign mercs KIA. NATO is supposed to be a defense pact not an imperial force. The change came with Clinton and Blair in 1999 with their "ethical foreign policy" and the invasion of Serbia.
    1
  9213.  @tomokaramolko8560  Whatever the conditions NATO shouldn't have intervened as a block. It's a defensive pact not a beard for US hegemony. Russia has used Kosovo as a precedent for it's SMO by the way.

  9223. So they allegedly managed to get a couple of IFVs past the first line. Even if that's true, the first line is designed to be breeched. Where are all the other tanks - 2 IFVs won't take Tokmak on their own. Pathetic propaganda Telegraph.
    1
  9224.  @Dr.1sR  Nope line 2 is the toughest. That's the way they do defence in depth. The Russian reserves are behind line 3. Ukraine is stuck in the forward control zone which should have been overcome on the first day of the offensive. They have been digging another line behind line one while the offensive has been on though.
    1
  9225.  @lupus3824  Again that's rubbish propaganda. The Russians have around 750,000 men available if required. And they are recruiting 10,000 contract soldiers a week. They've done it by increasing remuneration and appealing to patriotism. Ukraine is kidnapping old guys off the street and mobilizing women and the disabled.

  9227.  @helgeschneider9069  I said I thought the Terminator had been used. I've seen videos. Tanks get blown up. All the hype about the Leopards and Challengers being vastly superior has been dispelled. Although apart from the Rambo tank (I think that was a T-90), which took out a column of Ukrainian armour, I've not seen many tank battles. Mines ATGMs and drones seem to have been most effective.
