I'd bet money they're not Ukrainian weapons.

That strategy makes sense AC, but does Russia have enough missiles to do the job? They are slowing down the the supply lines to the Ukrainians, keeping their armoured vehicles out of range and using their artillery, making it harder for the Ukrainian forces to inflict damage. The Russian forces are still taking great losses, although they don't seem as vulnerable as they were in the north. Haven't seen the switchblades used yet.

Hey Fester,
I don't think Putin wants to use nukes, and I don't think he wants to fight NATO, but backed into a corner, the man has enough nukes to blow the planet up several times over.

I've just been watching a video that shows his Poseidon weapon.
- For which he purportedly has 30 of them in the Russian Navy.
Just one of these things has a 100 Kiloton yield that will create a nuclear tsunami 500m in height and will make the UK uninhabitable for decades if not longer.

Or destroy England 202 seconds after launch.

That's not a whole lot longer than it takes to read this post.

Besides that, I'm part way through this video from University of Chicago:
Why is Ukraine the West's Fault? Featuring John Mearsheimer

It's long and in depth, I'm only about 20 mins in.

Prior to this I took a look and reminded myself of the woman who did more than anyone to create this mess, Victoria Nuland.

This is her husband, Robert Kagan.

Then, I took a look at this.

Now I know we all get old, and if you gotta go you gotta go, but this is the leader of the world with a nuclear football we're talking about.

I'm just a nobody, with access to the internet
But what should I make of all this? You tell me.

Dear Critic,

How about also giving China some tactical advice, over which bridges they should bomb in Australia?

You must probably think that because you are such a lovely nice guy they will have pity on you and your family and allow you to live, but they won't!

Ukraine is our front line: should it fall, there is only Taiwan and possibly Japan ahead of us before the whole of Australia looks like Mariupol. Even while neither of us likes America, should they fail to help Ukraine significantly enough to win this war decisively, then Xi will understand (correctly) that they won't come to save us here either.

SHTF! You HAVE TO HEAR What This TRUCKING INSIDER said to ME! PREP NOW!
http://youtu.be/ZrbgKj585OE

Where have all the truck parts gone?
http://www.ccjdigital.com/maintenance/article/15066337/truck-parts-among-supply-chain-casualties

Apparently there's a shortage of neon, used to create chips which is going to disrupt supply chains or something.
Apparently trucks are waiting months for parts to be repaired.

It all looks pretty bad to me.

Hey Yuyutsu,

My feelings on the whole thing are that we should ask the UK (in the nicest possible way) that we would like to give them back the Union Jack and that also they should give us nuclear technology so that we can remain NEUTRAL and be a voice of reason in the world.

As for China, and Taiwan - just from whats gone on in Ukraine, the Taiwanese people should be considering the serious possibility that the US will fight to the last Taiwanese just to get at China, just as they are willing to fight to the last conscripted Ukrainian to get at Russia.

Whatever way you look at things, the world is entering into a very dangerous state, and I don't know if there's anything that can be done to stop it.

My feelings are it's one thing for the US to take out little countries with their overthrows
(Venezuelans eating dogs and cats etc)

But it's a whole different thing to pull this crap on nuclear armed members of the UK Security Council.

Like I keep saying, I oppose sanctions on the basis its collective punishment on entire nations, and I oppose liberal interventions (US overthrows)

That's really all I've got atm.
Thanks for contributing.
