    I know this is nitpicking quite a bit here, but I wouldn’t describe Gotland Island as “small”. At 3,184 square km / 1,229 square miles, it’s almost one quarter the size of Northey Ireland.

    British propoganda is so crude and ridiculous it is hard to see how it works. The only explanation I can come up with is perceived self - interest. The working class felt that they were beneficiaries at some low level of imperialist looting. How does the British ruling class think it will do with a much smaller working class and an individualist, disillusioned, low paid middle class ?

    interesting, towards the end, lack of strategy is mentioned. Personally, I think the strategy is to allow the meat grinding to continue to exhaust and deplete Russia's military capability, but at arms length from the West

    • @dannydetonator
      @dannydetonator 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      That *was the strategy. Some underestimated the time, effort it takes to deplete a war machine on war footing more resilient (same goes for more resouceful economy) than at the first period of the war. That means it has to change, generally. Problem - there is no universal strategy, commitment or even understanding of situation from each supporter country. Commitment, understanding and offensive vs complacent strategies are roughly inverse proportionate to distance from Russia and size of country and economy too. Despite correct rethorics on the surface it's an unfortunate patchwork of geopolitics in evolving dire situation. Unless the majority of supporters match Kremlin's commitment to continue the war by any means (despite the signalling, there's no peace deal that Kremlin would accept apart from ultimatum suicidal for Ukraine), this will be forever war. Even if Ukraine would surrender (requiring all supporters to give up too), the atrocities and war wouldn't stop.
      It's Ukraine's tactics, locally their war and they're doing unparalleled job for the situation. Though looks like no long-term working strategy from those throwing a lifeline for them. So my advice is to bring Europe into a partial wartime economy (yes, it will get harder, but it already has here) and outproduce Russia by value (which means partial coordinated command economy bringing down prices of weapon production). Other than that, we'll have to involve most armies of NATO members on the ground and start a massive offensive, which takes more balls against the biggest nuclear blackmailer in the World, than some goverments in Europe (nvm US) currently have. I think some hoped to wait it out until Putin disappears from Kremlin by any means, but it's not guaranteed situation would change enough - never mind stop the war - even if that happened. The fascist grip of shaika's fake ideology goes beyond Putin, so only time will tell. And time is on the side of most resilient, resourceful and quicker-adapting adversary.

      As Russia outguns Ukraine in artillery by a factor of 10 to 1, outnumbers Ukraine by far in number and capability of drones, is able to drop huge glide bombs at will across the front line on Ukraine fortifications....... then it stands to reason that Russia is the one winning the attrition battle. Most Ukrainians will never get to see a Russian before they are hit.

    Russian President Vladimir Putin said he has not yet made a decision about attending the G20 summit, but his participation is possible.
    "I don’t know yet. I do not rule this out. First of all, I will take into account the present-day realities," Putin said at a meeting with heads of international news agencies organized by TASS.
    "To put it bluntly, it will depend on the situation in the country, on our situation in the Ukrainian direction, and on the global situation in general," the Russian leader added.

    I see the strategy for victory is to wait for Russia to change its apparent war goals. Given Russia has nukes, there is no alternative. Escalation is irresponsible. Allowing a Russian victory does not reduce the danger, it actually increases it, basically offering Russia and appetiser. So no decisive action is reasonably available.

    Russia is open for negotiations on the Ukrainian conflict settlement, but they can be initiated only after the present-day territorial realities are recognized, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin told TASS on Wednesday.
    “Russia is open to holding a dialogue on Ukraine based on the consideration of our interests,” he said in an interview with TASS. “Our position regarding a comprehensive, sustainable and just settlement of the crisis remains unaltered.”
    “In order for this to happen, first of all, its original causes must be addressed and modern geopolitical and territorial realities must be recognized,” he continued. “The West must stop pumping up the Ukrainian military with weapons and the Kiev regime must put an end to its military activities.”
    The diplomat added that endless supplies of Western weapons to Ukraine “only drag out the conflict and lead to an increase in civilian casualties.”
    According to him, Moscow is taking a notice of the growing risks of “weapons spreading around the world and ending up at the hands of terrorists and criminal groups.”
    “Unfortunately, there is still a bunch of people in Europe and the United States, who pursue the goal of inflicting a ‘strategic defeat’ on Russia and are ready to blindly sacrifice the interests of their countries and peoples, pushing them to the edge of the abyss,” Galuzin added.

    Forbes today estimated Ukrainian mineral resources at 15 trillion dollars. This applies only to the territory of Donbass, Dnepropetrovsk and one other region, I forgot which one. If Ukrainian mineral resources are worth so much, the question begs to be asked: what is the value of Russian mineral resources, since Russia is the richest country in the world? The West has so far invested about $600 billion in the conflict in Ukraine, which is 26% of all dollars that are in the United States. If a person invests a quarter of his entire property in such an expensive project, costing more than seven times his entire property ($2.26 trillion), then it becomes clear that this person will not stop halfway. Therefore, world war is inevitable.
