Abrams tanks were not a transformative weapon when added to the battlefield. Neither were the F-16's, nor the Leopards, nor the current ATACMS. Perhaps, if all of the necessary equipment the Ukrainians could use were provided at anything more than a snails pace and all together, a "critical mass" of offensive capabilities might be achieved. Right now Ukraine is suffering the "death of a thousand cuts" due to politicial timidity.
I'd say 600,000 plus in Russian 200 and 300 cargo indicates who's getting cut the most. "Little green men" appeared in Crimea in 2014. After 10 years, Putin has 18% of Ukraine. At that rate of "progress", he might have all of Ukraine by say, oh, 2065.
The East and South of mainland Ukraine was grabbed by Putin because those oblasts had Russian sleeper agents running the police and local military. They simply stood aside. Thankfully the bulk of Ukraine was not so naive.
Among other things, the stability of world commerce and for the US, the primacy of the $ as a "universal tool" would be seriously harmed by a RU defeat of UA. I truly hope that Harris wins the Presidency, and that Congress goes Blue enough such that policies supporting Ukraine not only continue, but increase.
@5:10 It always gets me how people talk about a particular weapon not being “transformative” or a “game changer,” as if to make it sound hopeless. But what you’ll never hear them talk about is the lack of QUANTITY provided by the West in those systems. How can any type of weaponry be considered transformative when it’s provide as a slow drip drip, not to mention stripped of its advanced features and in quantities far less than what was initially promised? Looking for that plausible reason why we don’t want Ukraine to succeed, but have yet to hear one.
Contradictory,..Ukraine is the one ,making development in various ways, and is doubllng down..,Russia instead,is struggling more and more ,due to the Ukrainian ,mounting,new developments.
The US Democrats have shown they don’t want Ukraine to win. Trump is simply offering the opposite regardless of his ideas actually stopping the w@r. The man is not bright enough to think it through. He’s also a target for KGB coercion.
It's funny how this is playing out. I'm no fan of Iran and their ideology but I'm thinking that they're regretting sending all those Shahed drones to Putler when they'd like to be using them right now for their own purposes.
"Amateurs talk strategy. Professionals talk logistics." General Omar Bradley. The Ukrainians are smart to go after Russian logistics. Tough to fight a war with no ammo or limited ammo.
A very valid point was made that in Britain and other European countries, support across political parties was united about our commitment to the defence of Ukraine. That is not the case in America.
On the nuclear threat , Russia also have to consider Chinese and Indian stance on this. Western China is not far from the SMO region so they would not like it. Also Russia has huge grain fields on lease from Kazakhstan so food contamination could lead to shortages in China.
of course weapons delivered far too late don't have the same effect if delayed on time...had F-16s, Artillery, long range weapons which can be used for targets in Russia, etc...been delivered in a timely manner, the war could well be over now.

I hate to break it to you Jens Stoltenberg pole smokers, but Russia lost about 5 days worth of ammo. This is about the equivalent of Tula losing one cargo shipment of ammo. Russian factories produce over 40% of the world's ammo and China just cut off the West's supply of Antimony and nitrocellulose. You should be worried about how America and Europe intend to replace these critical components now that China has cut them off...just saying!
Lebanon and Gaza host elements that have continually attacked Israel. That is obviously not the case for Russia's excuse to attack Ukraine. That you should try to equate them, especially given that Russia has done WORSE to Ukraine (kidnapped children, wholesale rapes, stolen wealth) shows either astonishing ignorance, or simple propaganda.
Putin invaded Ukraine using the protection of native Russian language speakers from attacks by Ukrainians as an excuse. Why isn't Putin helping native Russian speaking people living in Israel from attacks by HAMAS and Hezbollah?
What lie? This is known and has been known for a while. It is broadcast in many news channels. You can pretend it's not there but that doesn't change the facts.

Russia just lost Iran.

How depressing to see that they have replaced Stoltenberg with this clown!
Get your fact right. 🤡
Challenge for a German government? So far their challenge is to increase transport of goods to Kazachstan. Ever wondered why?
this is not new news
Why do these interviews keep repeating the same sections different points in the bloggs.
Yet another RUSI mouthpiece...just stop it!
😂😂 Lies. My GF in Russia is pi55ing her sides at The Times.
"help" = save Ukrainian lives. Why is transformation the gate?
These guests don't tell us anything new, they just repeat what other commentators have told us before.
First step is to force Putin to resign.
of course weapons delivered far too late don't have the same effect if delayed on time...had F-16s, Artillery, long range weapons which can be used for targets in Russia, etc...been delivered in a timely manner, the war could well be over now.

Hopefully Russia doesn't start going after Ukraine in the same manner that Israel is going after lebanon and Gaza.

You mean competently? Russia is giving all it has to take Ukraine, fortunately they've proven to be shockingly inept.
