I suspect they’d do well to reach him before the Chinese did in that scenario (with similar intent)

Interesting piece providing a possible rationale for Russia destroying Nord Stream pipelines https://novayagazeta.eu/articles/20...tions-the-gas-sieg-of-the-eu-barely-registers
Putin better have some good air defence left. In that scenario we could see drone strikes or even stealth bombers targetting him. Or he'll stay in his bunker forever.

I read recently that during the Iraqi war, the US were phoning up the Iraqi generals - in their own homes - offering advice. I wonder if the Americans have been doing similar with the Kremlin inmates?

I can't watch too much like that. The everyday impact on people, let alone the death and destruction. It is so cruel and I feel at once ashamed that humans could wreak this punishment on other humans but also inspired by the people resisting in whatever way they can.

Sky News are with a Ukrainian rocket launcher unit (UK made). Interesting stuff. The Ukrainians were trained here.
Able to wipe out targets 50km away.

A Russian politician just about to go ‘missing’:
“Russia says all lost ground will be retaken. Speaking to teachers during a video call from the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin said the situation would stabilise.
But the chairman of the defence committee of the lower house of parliament told state-run media that Russia needed to stop lying about what’s going on on the battlefield. "Our people are not stupid," he said.” BBC

No one wants Moscow apartments with balconies.
You can't beat a bit of Western hi-tech, state-of-the-art kit against their 60's cold war dinosaur equipment can you?
Well, we all hope you can't ........................
Unfortunately, they are.
Very interesting read, thanks for posting. I've often wondered about 'and with both sides driving many of the same tanks and armoured vehicles, finding and identifying targets would have been extremely difficult for Russian pilots.' and I guess it's all down to having precise and TIMELY coordinates, which the Russians rarely have.

Heroic Russia now playing the victim, with no sense of irony...

'We offered them peace, just to leave us alone'.
I found this to be a very interesting analysis of how the war may end.

I'm not one to advocate violence against women however in her case I would make an exception, she needs a good punch to her arrogant, spiteful bile spewing mouth.
Deluded woman. "They can't understand that other people are different, other nations are different."
They? They? Who is this 'they' that the daft bint is yammering about? If she substituted 'we' for 'they' she'd be right on the money! Is Putin going to send women to the front line? - in her case I hope so!
