The big deal is this NATO meeting on the 10th. Those of us who pray, ought to pray for some sort of desire for a peace deal to come out of this. Not escalation, which there are plenty who want this to escalate. It’s going too take bravery for a Europian NATO member to say “no”. “no more money, weapons, or ammunition that we can’t afford.” If one does, others will follow. No more Ukranians or Russians dying! That ought to be our goal.

Ukraine “counter offensive” is entering week six. Russia’s first defensive line is in tact. Translation: Ukraine is losing and more sophisticated weapons are very unlikely to make a difference. It takes many months of training (sometimes a year) to employ successfully these highly sophisticated weapons; a few months won’t cut it.
If Russia goes on the offensive, the men and material advantage is Russia’s. The Irish have a saying: “this will all end in tears”, for Ukraine.

Looks like the battle of Kursk all over again. And against pretty much the same country’s tanks!
Winning?
–By losing most of their regular army in the first year?
–By losing nearly all their nuclear capable missiles?
–By losing most of their significant gains around Kyiv, Kharkiv, Kherson, etc?
–By driving their nation’s currency down to 93/$, and their stock market below 970?
–By arresting their best general, Surovikin?
–By turning their best troops (Vagner) into traitors?
–By recruiting mobiks from the very factories that are already suffering from labour shortages?
Oh yes, just like Germany was winning in 1944…
Herr Professor Logan, this is getting tiresome. Yesterday I commented that you were a bit of a waffler.
I was wrong. You’re a complete waffler.
Join the real world.
You badly need to grow up and to shut up until you do.
Once you’ve grown up (I fear it may be a long, long process) and joined the real world I’m sure some of us would be delighted to read your musings.

The madness of this war is now becoming apparent even to those who initially thought it a good idea. Russia has clearly understood, and has changed to a ‘hold’ military position. Ukraine is still insane, insisting on ‘victory’. Biden realises he’s driving Russia to a nuclear war, but can’t admit his mistake. The EU should speak up, and decline to fuel the war further.

Lack of weapons is not the primary problem. Ukraine has nothing like the manpower required to break through the Russian defences, let alone win the battle and seize Crimea. Russian firepower, air surveillance and manpower are overwhelming. It is hopeless, pointless campaign.

The usual prediction about Ukrainian defeat.
They usually come about once a month. Been doing so since 24 March 2022.
But somehow things keep getting worse for Russia, and better for Ukraine.
Whether or not the Ukrainian offensive achieves all its objectives, the more Russia’s economy and political system is permanently crippled.
Every Ukrainian knows that. Every intelligent European knows that. Every intelligent American knows that.
This war won’t end until Russia ceases being a threat to the Ukraine, the EU and the US.
The war won’t end in Ukraine, until Ukraine ceases to be territory from which the USSA’s ruling neoliberals (and its pitiful catamite-cheerleader UKania) can threaten Russia.

100% delusional, something seriously wrong with you
