But that would do nothing to help The Ukraine of course, I don't think they have a current issue of immigration into the country.

 

I still reckon it would be far more useful for them to go after Russian drones 

you sure,, that's a feckin' long way in a punctured rubber boat, and the hotels and benefits are shite.

So . It is now accepted within Russia that the " special military operation "  has failed . Putin now , increasingly targets civilians and service infrastructure with , every night , the largest missile/drone attack ever whilst Ukraine only attacks  military and associated   targets ( recent destruction of 40 odd planes at a Russian air field and the attack on an oil refinery amongst others ). I know its hard to say but does anyone have any views on how this will pan out in as much as the Ukrainian people seem so resolute and solid and Putin is running out of military hardware at an ever increasing rate .

Ukraine is (very) slowly losing ground apparently.

Dunno, I guess it’ll grind to a halt this winter, then a deal will be struck.

A lot depends on Iran which just signed an economic/security pact with the Russians in January.

If the US decides to try and déposé the Iran government and succeeds, that’ll be another ally in the region lost to Russia (after Syria)

Maybe then an emboldened DJT might throw his weight behind Ukraine.

Who can say in this crazy world?

First recorded actual battlefield case of Russian troops surrendering to a Ukraine robot ! Apparently two robots were involved , the firsts attacked  the Russians and caused a lot of losses the second offered them to surrender or die . They surrendered and were escorted to the Ukrainian lines by flying drones and then taken prisoner with no Ukrainian losses  in this particular action .

I am guessing that we are on the countdown to this war ending now? Trump has met with Putin, divided up the country nice, job done.

 

It's been a long 24 hours.... but I won't be holding my breath that their little chat achieved anything more than adding to their frequent fliers air miles points cards. I'm guess the problem will be telling the Ukrainians to give Russia more land

Shows how very little you know.

I'm just a nobody but , I cant see anything changing . Russia wants Ukraine to be Russian and Ukraine wants Ukraine to stay Ukrainian . I think that what Russia is doing is not sustainable . They are loosing 1200 odd troops per day and shed loads of hardware . I know its the Russian " way " but it can't go on forever . They ( the Russians ) are already using soviet era hardware to make up for the losses , motor bikes civilian vehicles and all sorts . Another 2 years of this and they will  be spent I recon .
