You still swallowing this nonsense that Russia is systematically destroying the Ukranian forces?And that the addition of 300,000 barely trained, unequipped and unsupplied amateurs to the front line is going to tip the balance, when the cream of Russia's professional soldiery as been routed?Or have they been routed? Presumably you are sticking to the line that Kharkiv and Kherson have been two planned, strategic withdrawals?
BRR.1) Russia's mobilisation plans allow for 2 months from sign up to front line. Remember, their professionals with all their top equipment and years of training shite it and ran from Izyum, Kupyansk and Lyman. What do your Kremlin sources think Yakutsk taxi drivers are going to do more effectively.2) The key change of momentum in this war was the insertion of HIMARS into the fray. They are systematically destroying Russian stores up to 25 miles behind the front line, and picking off supply routes for the equipment that does survive. Russia has absolutely nothing comparable. Which is why Ukraine is able to supply its attacks, and why the Russian front line has collapsed in numerous places.But yeah. It's all propaganda.

The mobilisation is for people already trained.HIMARS did give Ukraine something where it had nothing. But even before then, Ukraine had around 3 times the troops. But like you say, taxi drivers don't cut it.
That's simply nit picking Bristol. It shows the weakness of the argument you want to make.BobG
Good old Biden, as f*cking useless as ever. Instead of saying what HE's going to do, as President of the USA, he's telling US, who can do nothing about it, that we're on the brink of Armeggedon.In doing so, he's just sent a message to Putin, the bully, that the whole of the West is terrified of him.Well done, Joe.

Or do you have a different meaning of Armageddon (the end of days) to me?No NATO country is going to launch a first strike. There's a reason it's called a nuclear deterrent.

They think his comments were ill thought out and unwise.I've asked before, if Putin is defeated and humiliated, what is the endgame in all that? Because at the moment, all I'm hearing is soundbites.
Thank you Tyke. Horrible. But then, those who start wars never worry about things like that do they? (And I am not pointing fingers at anybody at all with that comment. I am speaking in a very general sense)BobG
The bridge from Crimea to Russia has been destroyed, no getting supplies through Crimea to the Russians now, its clear Ukraine are going for Crimea
