    If they had the technology the Ukranians might not feel so constrained.
    Maybe the chinese will lob a few fat boys over and blame it on the seppos. A precedent has been already set surely?...

    When Putin came to power as prime minister out of obscurity he made a name for himself over his handling of the Chechen rebels
    Most of it was it seems a complete set up.
    Note the year it was written years ago.

    People who watch Fox become soooo fucked up.

    Putin has responded to the tough sanctions imposed on Russia by most of the world - except Britain, that he has responded by imposing sanctions on the US. Well, on some of the Democrats. No Republican is sanctioned. Funny that.

    Hillary will be so pissed off that she can't take the sun in Siberia this summer.

    She's going to be arrested soon anyway.

    Any moment now.

    Wait for it

    Unconfirmed reports that the Ukrainians have killed another Russian general. That would be the fourth. Generals are usually far enough from the action to be safer than that.

    In addition to the generals, the Ukrainians have permanently ended the careers of a number of colonels and a Belorussian of war lord.

    Promotion prospects will be improving for Russian officers, as long as they aren’t posted to Ukraine.

    PLUS, multiple reports that Putin has 'sacked/fired' 8 senior Staff Generals for poor performance in the last week.
    If they are not dead yet, they might wish they were. At this point, front line Ukraine is probably still a better posting than the Kremlin.

    Cheers, Daryl.

    So, Putin needs China's help with military meal packs, weapons & ammunition.
    Payment with oil and gas, or wheat, etc. would be a sanctions violation, that, conceivably, China would prefer to avoid.
    All Putin has to trade is the gold reserve ( probably buried under the floor of his palace) and territory he can no longer defend.

    Forget my prediction of China just taking back their old territories North of Manchuria.
    They will likely end up with everything North and East of the Kazakhstan border.
    Might be time to sell out of your Mongolian oil & gas stocks!

    May we live in interesting times,
    Cheers, Daryl.

    Just listening to an interview with Alex Vindeman (US Army, Lt Col, Retd) on what the US needs to do to support Ukraine. The Stinger SAMs don't reach the altitudes at which the Russian bombers operate. Vindeman wants Ukraine to be given those Polish Migs and the missiles to do the job. He wants the US to give Ukraine missiles that will let them "rain fire" on the airfields and launch sites that the bombers and missiles come from in Russia. He also wants Ukraine to be given US drones in addition to the Turkish drones they are currently operating.

    The Russian navy has a strong presence in the Black Sea. Vindeman wants the US to give Ukraine Cruise missiles that will enable them to reduce the Russian naval presence either by sinking them, or warning them off, or both.

    It's true that Vindeman was born in Ukraine, but it's probably also true that unless Putin is stopped he will continue to be a threat to other countries that border Russia.
    That's some game of brinksmanship but appeasement doesn't exactly have a history of success.

    So easy to be a keyboard expert in a situation that is So Messy.... but in the spirit of KISS, If I wanted to get Polish warplanes to Ukraine I would fly them into Moldova (Ukraine's neighbor and Not NATO) and have the Ukrainian pilots collect them there. Moldova would be wise to assist, 'cos if Ukraine falls they are next in line.
    And they need US financial help managing around 250,000 Ukrainian refugees. More if Odessa gets messy.

    Another "simple" option would be to close the highway from Rzeszow airbase to the the Ukraine border (80klm) and truck, tow or taxi the planes to Ukraine.
    Ukraine pilots can then take off from inside the Ukraine border. (Sure, it's just a road... but these are fighter pilots, in wartime).

    Looks like the US will be providing US drone and S-300 long range-high altitude anti aircraft systems to help the Ukrainians to create their own No Fly Zone.

    And here is a cool video of a Kyiv panel beaters shop converting machine guns 'recovered' from Russian APC's into some mighty portable weapons.




    Cheers, Daryl.

    Vlad is so concerned he'll be poisoned he has sacked all 1000 members of his personal staff. A personal staff of 1000 seems a lot, but I guess if you're a dictator...
    He fears he will be poisoned to the extent he now has tasters who test all of his food before he eats. Of course, he knows a bit about poisoning and has experience with polonium tea, Novichuk as well as various gasses.

    One of the Russian commanding generals in Ukraine has been arrested by the FSB. The FSB are not without their own problems , two of their generals have been placed under house arrest. Apparently they were supposed to be spending billions on recruiting agents in Ukraine but the money got ummm diverted.

    Morning,
    If you just include the links in your post, then we won't need to use a search engine.

    They can't be from RT or Sputnik, since they've been widely banned / disabled from display across many western countries.

    Cheers, Viking

    He says in the clip that the gun is more powerful than a Kalashnikov. That's true. It fires the old 7.62 x 54R round which would make it similar in power to a Bren or Vickers.
