Boris needs to step down and leave it to the big boys. I loathe Johnson but he’s still seeing the situation in Ukraine more clearly than other western leaders, pushing NATO to approve ever greater levels of support. On Ukraine (alone) he’s doing a bloody great job and better then any other major western leader. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to be fair, it's Johnson, and even when he's right there's usually an element of stupidity there. But I do agree he's been broadly right on Ukraine. Although allowing Liz Truss to be Foreign Secretary during potential WWIII and Priti Patel to be Home Secretary during a refugee crisis is hardly the work of a genius. Credit where credit's due, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy Lifeboats Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Russia is losing a lot of generals. Or are they? Have some of these Generals actually defected to the West? Are they divulging plans, supply routes and weaknesses. It would explain the high loss rate and the amazing success of the Ukraine Army. Before Gulf War 2, the USA is rumoured to have phoned most of the senior Iraqi military leadership and offered individual surrender terms. It’s certainly feasible that they have done the same for Ukraine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Good to see that the forecast for East and North Ukraine is still freezing at night, rain and mud inducing low pressure. May all Russian gear driven into fields sink into the mud and get stuck. Edited March 26, 2022 by magnkarl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s certainly feasible that they have done the same for Ukraine. Nothing as exciting, unfortunately: Why are so many Russian generals dying? Quote A key reason for these losses can be attributed to a catastrophically rigid military command within the country. In the Russian military, generals are given broad authority: not only are strategic decisions made at their command level, but tactical too. Small-unit leadership is notoriously poor in the contemporary Russian army, with senior commanders generally expected to lead and manage from the front, thus leaving them much more vulnerable than their adversaries. Junior officers have traditionally been unable to exercise initiative, relying instead on an overly-involved general officer class for decision-making that would ordinarily be made at a much lower level.

sidcow Posted March 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 26, 2022 Apparently Russia and Japan are still technically at War. Now Russia is undertaking drills on some disputed Islands which are one of the reasons why they never signed a peace treaty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ml1dch Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I am the very model of a Russian Major-General; The valour of my infantry is something quite ephemeral; Of actors in this conflict we are clearly the uneasier; We'll lose the fight in Kyiv like we lost in Zaporizhzya (half-remembered from someone else's Twitter the other day) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
