Attacking Logistic Chains. In WWII (before the US joined) the British Army in Africa was facing an Italian Army which vastly outnumbered them in men and armored vehicles, tanks. The solution: destroy the Italian fuel depots. And the British did that with an air raid and it worked, no fuel, no tanks. Apparently that strategy has been lost somewhere along the line.

Currently, the situation is the same as it was in the USSR-Afghanistan war of 1979 - 1989. The last 3 years of the war (1986 - 1989) are a period of fighting that is completely unnecessary, further fighting will only result in unnecessary deaths and injuries, as it was no longer possible to able to achieve the goals of this war. Russian soldiers in Afghanistan and the Kremlin knew this perfectly well. They deliberately sacrificed their dead and wounded. It was only about a propaganda game for television and the press, so that the people would have a vision appropriate to the Russian mind, i.e. manipulation of the victims in order to achieve something only for themselves. P067
Getting close enough to the front lines to use glide bombs is tricky. You put your bombers at risk since you’re typically launching from altitude to get longer ranges which will in turn attract SAM arracks. So a small step at best
Not to mention Ukraine barely has any bombers left, and at this point Russia shoots their aircratf down pretty far behind lines when they take off. So this literally means nothing.
And 100% reliant on competent pilots flying one of 5 f-16’s at max altitude to even achieve that distance. Ukraine needs the JASM if they’re going to take out strategic targets behind enemy lines
@@manfredstrappen7491 Can hardly wait for the UK to call Putin's bluff and catch the fireworks in the sky above London. And John M must be turning in his grave today when the World Bank recently reported that the Russian economy is the largest in Europe and the fourth largest in the world using the PPP index. So much for being a gas station with nukes !
Let’s offer Russian front line soldiers 50K U.S. and citizenship in any NATO country & see what happens next. If nobody wants it than it costs nothing, if on the other hand many do, then great.
Not a bad idea ... but 1. a fair fraction have families; and even if the offer includes their families, don't think Putin would let them go. Instead they'd face reprisals. 2. getting NATO countries to take them? Ukraine is accepting some for citizenship, particularly those who have surrendered via the "I want to live" program and then fought or done other service for Ukraine. I have family relatives in Poland who are helping Ukrainian refugees there, and they hear lots of stories. One of the sadder ones is about an ethnic Russian family from the Donetsk region who fled into Russia when "the little green men" started taking it over. The husband was a 40-something construction engineer. He got forced into the Russian Army somehow in one of the early waves of the "mobilizations." His family managed to get out to Poland, where they have relatives. He then managed to surrender to Ukraine, and then fought for Ukraine in the '23 offensive along the Surovikin line, where he was killed in mine-clearing operations. Ukraine is paying the family some benefits, and they are offered Ukrainian citizenship, but they are staying in Poland, at least for now.

We might have stopped making them but I'm sure we have large stockpiles. And we also didn't sign the treaty so we can start making them again without needing to clear that hurdle.
Assuming that someday Putin is no longer the president of Russia, what is going to happen to all the military leaders that have allegedly stuffed their pockets and beneifited from the current situation? This will take years, if not decades to unravell and reform.

NATO takes over coordination of military aid to Ukraine: the Alliance's new role and its consequences NATO's decision to take over coordination of military aid to Ukraine opens a new stage in a conflict that has long gone beyond bilateral confrontation. This step demonstrates not only the strategic involvement of the Alliance, but also Europe's desire to strengthen its role against the backdrop of a possible change in US policy under the leadership of Donald Trump. NATO and the new NSATU mission: the main role and tasks On December 17, it became known that NATO is officially taking over the coordination of military aid to Ukraine, previously carried out by the United States. The new mission, known as NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NSATU), is based in Wiesbaden, Germany, and is already fully operational - Reuters. The main tasks of NSATU: - Coordination of military aid deliveries. The Alliance will manage logistics, plan weapons transfers and organize equipment repairs. - Training of Ukrainian military personnel. Ukrainian units will be trained at NATO member states’ facilities with an emphasis on interaction with Western weapons systems. Long-term development of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. NSATU will focus on forming an army structure that meets NATO standards. In essence, this initiative lays the foundation for Ukraine’s full integration into the Alliance’s military system, even without its formal membership. Geopolitical shift: NATO as a key player in the conflict The transfer of coordination from the US to NATO is not accidental. The change of political power in Washington, where Donald Trump is known for his criticism of financial and military support for Ukraine, has forced European allies to play it safe. Such a move can be seen as: - Strengthening European leadership. NATO is becoming a tool for maintaining stable support for Ukraine in the event of changes in American policy. - Demonstration of consolidation. The Alliance is showing its readiness for long-term involvement in the conflict. However, this decision may lead to a deepening confrontation with Russia, which will require additional resources and strengthening the defense potential of NATO member states. Risks and challenges for NATO NATO's role as a coordination center poses serious challenges: - Growing financial burden. Alliance member states, especially in Europe, are already facing economic difficulties. Supporting Ukraine requires multi-billion dollar expenditures. - Threat of escalation. NATO's deep involvement in the conflict brings the Alliance closer to a direct confrontation with Russia, which poses risks for all of European security. - Political instability. Internal disagreements among NATO members, especially against the backdrop of the growing influence of right-wing parties in Europe, could undermine the unity of the Alliance. NATO's long-term goals: Ukraine as an outpost against Russia NATO is effectively turning Ukraine into a springboard for containing Russia. Training the Ukrainian Armed Forces according to Alliance standards and long-term commitments to supply weapons lay the foundation for Ukraine's close integration into Western military structures. Even without formal membership, Kyiv receives: - Modern weapons and technologies. The supply of air defense systems, artillery, and drones strengthens Ukraine's position. - Maintenance and repair. NATO takes on the task of ensuring the operability of the equipment. - Personnel training. Ukrainian soldiers are trained based on NATO standards. However, all this creates new points of tension and pushes Russia to further strengthen its own defense doctrine. A new phase of confrontation The transfer of coordination of aid to Ukraine to NATO is not just a bureaucratic step, but a strategic shift in the West's approach to the Ukrainian conflict. The Alliance intends to play a long-term role, strengthening Kyiv's military potential and preparing for a possible protracted confrontation with Russia. However, this step carries serious risks, including an escalation of the conflict and political disagreements within NATO. Russia, in turn, perceives such an initiative as a provocation and will continue to take retaliatory measures to protect its interests. @don_partizan
The invasion of Ukraine was unjust, more or less akin to the invasion of Iraq. How would the UK and USA feel if Russia supplied submarines to target deep into the UK and the USA?

National characters do change. Japan may have difficulty apologizing for their atrocities in WW II, but the people do not have anything like the national attitude of their ancestors in 1931-41 who dreamed of Japanese conquest of all of East Asia (plus maybe South Asia). Likewise, Germany as it existed under the Nazis (say 1933-45) has disappeared. Modern Germans want nothing to do with the nationalist fervor and excesses that ended up in the loss of a third of German territory and the destruction of much of the rest.

Despite the combined efforts of NATO and 27 countries, they failed to defeat the Taliban over 20 years in the so-called 'War on Terror.' How can NATO possibly believe it would defeat a nuclear-armed power like Russia? It's absurd. In fact, Afghanistan humiliatingly booted out both NATO and Russia out of its territory. LOL!
LOL we were in Afghanistan for 20 years and never had to restructure our economy, then we left because they wanted us to and we're fine. Russia was there for 10 years and lost the ENTIRE SOVIET UNION, and had a massive depression. Putin has reworked Russia's economy to focus on war products and it still can't beat Ukraine.

Glide bombs must be the new game changer now. Let me ask how did the Atacms change the battle field? The F16's what have they been able to do or change the battlefield? The abrams what have they done to change the impact of the battle field? The 61 billion USD what impact have they had?
The F16s have only barely gotten into the neighborhood, and in number they are only 5% of what the USA should have supplied already. Likewise, the US sent less than 5% of its stock of surplus Abrams' tanks, and that only after stupidly stripping out the DU armor. ATACMS have already stopped a lot of ruzzian advances, and will do much more as Ukraine gets more of them, and gets permission to use them on Ruzzian bases well back of the Front. The $61 bn is almost all still in the US. Most of it will never go to Ukraine, but is only being used to buy new toys for the US military. So you need to stick around and see how things develop now that the US Congress' spasm of idiocy is (hopefully) over.
No wonder weapon will save Zelenskyy hide as no wonder weapon saved Hitler's hide in 1945. Meanwhile Zelenskyy thugs are literally kidnapping people off the streets to fill the ranks. Zelenskyy army at this point consists mostly of this hapless cannon fodder kidnapped off the streets and with zero motivation. Even those few who survived from the early days of the war and volunteered at the time are deserting en masse. They had enough of it. I think Zelenskyy regime demise is a matter of months, not years. This crazy talk about long range strikes shows the level of desperation of the regime.

@@cog600 Sadly that is not the case. If it was TR and the BBC would be shouting about it but Kursk barely gets a mention like the donbas region as things are not going so well. Call me troll if you like but it doesnt change the reality on the ground.
What has Times Radio taught me about Britain. They love to talk about war but not actually do it. Talk, talk, talk. It you want to win send young boys out there or shut the F up!!!! 😂
I believe this the BSL language lol
This guy explains as if he knows war and boms😂 he's never been in a war but he'll soon find out supporting Ukraine
@@AndreCoetzee-pm2zn Looks like Russia is “finding out” as well
Trump did not rule out a new meeting with Zelensky in the near future, in Kiev at his funeral.
trump has a plot in mar de lago.
@@RobertoEarnywho In light of the two recent assassination attempts against Pres. Trump, this comment is highly inappropriate.
Should I alert my favorite intelligence man Budanov to your threat against Ukraine's President?
Despite the combined efforts of NATO and 27 countries, they failed to defeat the Taliban over 20 years in the so-called 'War on Terror.' How can NATO possibly believe it would defeat a nuclear-armed power like Russia? It's absurd. In fact, Afghanistan humiliatingly booted out both NATO and Russia out of its territory. LOL!
LOL we were in Afghanistan for 20 years and never had to restructure our economy, then we left because they wanted us to and we're fine. Russia was there for 10 years and lost the ENTIRE SOVIET UNION, and had a massive depression. Putin has reworked Russia's economy to focus on war products and it still can't beat Ukraine.

Russia is European but no way is the UK European.
You may have a point about the U.K. - but it is more closely connected to Europe than Mordor.
@apollointhedark5758 Europe is a continent and the last time I looked the UK was still part of that continent!
@@leopolitan1914 What are you on about, the UK is in Europe.
@@boota1979 The Uk is in no way a white European nation. The Uk is not part of the Eu because it is not a European nation.

You have got that wrong, Putin has put his country in a very weak situation. There are vultures to the east with pay back on their minds and who could blame them

Someone should tell this guy that he has a tumor on the side of his nose. And he's so close to his camera, it makes it appear much closer & larger than it really is (kind of like how the side-door rear-view mirror does).
Times Radio is a joke!
@@ZOFIELHERRERA-wy3yo …. You’re the joke…. Except no one’s laughing…
Glide bombs must be the new game changer now. Let me ask how did the Atacms change the battle field? The F16's what have they been able to do or change the battlefield? The abrams what have they done to change the impact of the battle field? The 61 billion USD what impact have they had?
Ask Toropetz.
Ask the Russian military why they still haven’t taken Kyiv? I guess losing hundreds of thousands of troops was all part of the plan.
Do your own research Dude...
The F16s have only barely gotten into the neighborhood, and in number they are only 5% of what the USA should have supplied already. Likewise, the US sent less than 5% of its stock of surplus Abrams' tanks, and that only after stupidly stripping out the DU armor. ATACMS have already stopped a lot of ruzzian advances, and will do much more as Ukraine gets more of them, and gets permission to use them on Ruzzian bases well back of the Front. The $61 bn is almost all still in the US. Most of it will never go to Ukraine, but is only being used to buy new toys for the US military. So you need to stick around and see how things develop now that the US Congress' spasm of idiocy is (hopefully) over.
@@peterswain3636 why would they take kiev? its meaningles in this conflict.
Haircut guy is too close to the lens of the camera
No wonder weapon will save Zelenskyy hide as no wonder weapon saved Hitler's hide in 1945. Meanwhile Zelenskyy thugs are literally kidnapping people off the streets to fill the ranks. Zelenskyy army at this point consists mostly of this hapless cannon fodder kidnapped off the streets and with zero motivation. Even those few who survived from the early days of the war and volunteered at the time are deserting en masse. They had enough of it. I think Zelenskyy regime demise is a matter of months, not years. This crazy talk about long range strikes shows the level of desperation of the regime.
so you're russian or republican?
Nice bot work. Remind me again, who started this war? Excuse me, “Special military operation” against it’s neighbor?
"Zelenskyy thugs are literally kidnapping people off the streets".... really? That is exactly what V.P. is doing. Nothing but 100% projection on your part. I can't tell if you're just ignorant or a Russian troll.
4months ago youd be banned for saying this. This fact shows how done this grift is.
@@GiantTinyBalls. Read the news and polls. 3% of Americans support Russia. Exactly the percentage of Republicans in the country, right? Or maybe you just like people killing people and don’t want peace.
British propaganda is laughable)
Very informative
