Just stick an advert on the old Covid thread. It probably protects against science and scientists as well.

I think, from what ive read the UK, France Germany etc have given the green light to hit any Russian military targets whereas in the past it was restricted to x y and z. The US still have restrictions on where they can target. But its only the stuff ive read so fair enough if its incorrect.

 

 

Yea , that's how I read it .

Russian troop losses are said to be around 500.000 so far .

Russia is advancing, their greater resources both in manpower and armaments is starting to tell.

 

The West has given (up to this point) Ukraine just enough to keep Russia at bay and no more.

 

Now the stakes are increasing and we (The West) have to face the prospect of Russia winning the war, taking Ukraine entirely and then looking further west to their old dominions.

 

Thats how I see it, opinions vary.

Your outlook is always similar to mine mick and i enjoy reading your replies.. 

 

Question ? if Ukraine had the fire power and weapons 2 years ago me personally think they would have whooped the russians to a standstill. Its different now people are dying every day which is so sad when you see the D day events this week.

I don't see it quite like that . The Russians are loosing huge amounts of personnel and hard wear . The losses of men are due to inadequate training , lack of experience and Putins attitude of there is plenty more where they came from . This is not sustainable . The Ukrainians are out numbered something like 10:1 making one Ukraine soldier worth ten Russian soldiers . I agree the west should of provided more early on but , as you say , they ( the west ) are facing the prospect of Russia winning and the west won't let that happen . ( Me thinks )
