I’m not going to overstate anything and I certainly don’t buy that Ukraine are going to romp to victory however, it’s really quite something that they’ve been able to dig their heels in and provide themselves with a platform to strike targets in Russia.
I believe overnight they’ve destroyed another wildberries warehouse (which is the Russian equivalent to EBay-I had to google it), a couple of oil refineries and an airbase. I don’t know anything about casualties but it’s safe to assume there will be civilian casualties.
I think what the Ukrainians have done very well is to adapt with new technologies. They’ve created cheap hardware that can cause a lot of damage from range. They dont have the economy or the people power to go punch for punch with a country the size of Russia so they have adapted very well.
It does also have me thinking that we may be seeing an end to large carrier groups, large, expensive and complicated hardware thats difficult to replace and costly to maintain.
Funnily enough that was also one of the Allied keys to victory in WW2 so it could also be a lesson we’ve forgot when looking at the American military.

Mind 4 years ago when Putin reckoned the Russian Army would sweep into Ukraine and walk through it in 6 weeks like the Nazis did to Poland….how did that work out?

Zelensky is a grifter, without Europe`s billions he`d be cooked.

Yeah, Putin would totally have stopped at Ukraine. Would definitely not have went into the Baltics and definitely would not have went into Poland.
Just like he said he wouldn`t go into Georgia....or Donbass....or Crimea.....or Ukraine....
Its tuff being a Par but we love it!

There were a couple of high class looking Russian ladies talking to the BBC reporter in Moscow, the other day and they were so indignant that a bomb had gone off in a Moscow restaurant. As if this was some kind of outrage on the helpless and blameless Moscovite aristocracy. Were they totally ignorant about the random bombing of Kiev, or are they so self centred they couldn`t care less about Ukrainian civillians.
