'Time to send Ukrainian women to the front' says brave retired US General Hodges ... but why?
Really, what difference will that make other than to just increase the Ukrainian death toll.
The Ukrainian leadership should have realised this war was a lost cause years ago when it was obvious the sanctions had failed.
It should have been clear to the western leadership as well but then they didn't care as it was the Ukrainians doing the dying, and if they were causing even just a little hurt to Russia then good job.
Under western sanctions Russia is now far stronger than before.
Ukrainian leadership must know that they will never get Crimea or the 4 eastern oblasts back. If they can come to terms now they should consider themselves lucky.
But Zelensky is determined to do a Hitler. He would rather see the whole country burn to the ground than admit it's all over.
Even Kellogg now admitting that the conflict is actually a proxy war between NATO and Russia though, as is pointed out in the latest Mecuoris video, proxy is an understatement given the recent NYT article exposing the depth of control exercised by the NATO such as total overall planning, intel and equipment supply. The only thing Ukraine is providing are the troops and the territory.
Also noted was Kellogg hinting that the US was indeed prepared to 'walk away' if the Istanbul talks fail.
Not to be outdone by retired US generals a retired British general is calling for arming Zelensky with nuclear weapons, after all what could possibly go wrong?
There seems to be a sudden surprised realisation that Ukraine is losing and there is therefore an urgent need to stop the Russians marching on Europe while the west don't have any conventional means of stopping them.
The big drone strike by Ukraine on 4 Russian airfields can only have one goal and that's to provoke Putin into an overzealous retaliation and so hope the west responds by sending troops to Ukraine.
That has been Zelensky's plan for a long time now and is very unlikely to work this time either.
Some commentators saying Russia will respond with Oreshnik missiles on Kiev but I don't see the point. More likely that Russia will learn from this new form of attack but just continue with what's already working.
Russia will respond by moving aircraft around and increase security. The fact that there is a big PR operation including showing how the raids were carried out show they were a one-off PR stunt. Whatever, they will not able to change the trend of the war that has been established over the last 2 years.
The very odd thing about this drone operation was that the biggest threat to Ukraine from the Russian air force are the SU-34 and SU-35s launching FAB bombs.
So why did the Ukrainians target Russia's long-range strategic bombers?
I can see the benefit to the US, but none to Ukraine, other than PR.
It's similar to a while back when Ukraine drones were attacking oil storage tanks, Russia still had plenty of oil and there was no effect on the battlefield, but the US wanted to try to adversely affect the Russian economy.
Reminder Mediazone find Russian deaths are 100,000, analysts agree that long-range fires account for 80% of all casualties, they also agree Russia has a 10 to 1 advantage in long-range fires, ergo - Ukrainian deaths are 10x Russian, around 1,000,000.
Amusingly Ukraine inverts the Russian/Ukrainian stats in a straightout act of 'projection'.
The 1 mill figure also equates with intel leaked to a number of US ex military commentators by US military sources (see Carlson video below).
Up next are the Istanbul talks today. Russia were already hinting that the latest terms will be the harshest yet (that's even before the drone attack).
