2 civilians were killed + a 14-year-old girl was injured (her parents were killed) on the attack on the Crimea bridge. If our intelligence and/or security services were involved in enabling this attack I regard it as regrettable and misuse. 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith.

The prospect of 'losing' Crimea, must now be in Russia's leaderships minds. This would bring military action - or perchance negotiations- to the fore. "The facts have changed", Rishi Sunak

It's quite evident that Russia are prepared for fighting for at least another year, possibly two. Probably the best chance for negotiations would come with a 2024 Trump win. It's quite difficult to see Biden or our current leaders having any influence over Putin. I maintain that the best deal that Ukraine had was in March/April 21 and that was squandered. I believe that time will show that to be the case. Edited by Stirlingsays (17 Jul 2023 10.43am) 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

I see that the sanctions the West have imposed are actually benefitting Russia and have a detrimental impact on the West. Hi grain, oil and gas prices across Europe. Negotiations are always tricky, because, for example, Hitler just ignored any outcomes. There's always the chance that a negotiated settlement would see mission-creep by Russia. That's why military action, a show of force, is perhaps needed so parties keep to any settlement. All the while the conflict continues, Russia (and China) get richer ££. Failing military strength might bring Russia to negotiations, but while the money is rolling in, there is no reason to stop. "The facts have changed", Rishi Sunak

Hitler wanted his war with communism at any cost as he saw it as existential to Germany.....there's some irony there in my view. Anything that stopped that war would be fought. I agree, sanctions have been a backfire and are more about virtue signalling by the wealth class....who don't suffer any of the ill effects.....than any effective way of stopping this war. I think the Minsk agreements showed that 'mission creep' is hardly exclusive to Russia and both Russia and Nato would use that negotiation to build up defences and military. However, it's important to recognise that it's the terms of the negotiation that matter and any proper settlement would involve demilitarised zones. The UN could supervise, with the make up of that supervision being as objective as possible. I would hope that a settlement....which would probably require a new US administration would bring genuine efforts to rid us of cold war and a growing China/Russia/Brics division in the world. What is happening is only negative to us....and them. Edited by Stirlingsays (17 Jul 2023 1.01pm) 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

Basic summary for people: the French and German stuff is crap. Bradley's too lightly armoured and complicated. Unsurprisingly, no amount of stuff is enough. The Russian stuff and tactics are crap. Tactics improving. The tanks are particularly poor - which was already discovered in Iraq. Morale is generally ignored. Supply and logistics poor on both sides. Red and Blue Army!

It seems the attack on the Crimea bridge was entirely automated. There are conflicting reports on the drones. To summarise they seem more useful when cheap and lo tech - used for observation and target acquisition by localised troops (largely Ukrainian) in general. Large high tech drones have the jury out - mainly through mission connectedness, reliability and expense. A lot of military issues overall, on both sides come from how things are being used, lack of communications and lack of integration and cohesiveness. Russia has a famously ponderous command whilst many Ukrainian commanders lack any experience and much training. Some high tech weapons systems take a year or more to learn, let alone master.

Germany was on the cusp of securing Russian gas without it having to transit through Ukraine. And now... "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
