They've lost Chernobyl to the Russians. As well as an airport close to Kiev. They'll cut the country in half taking the major cities then start moving west. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Our son-in-law works in IT and he's spent most of the day shutting down their Ukraine office. The guy there says they are under curfew and he doesn't know if he can back online by tomorrow morning. Just one bloke but sometimes you can only comprehend the magnitude of a disaster by knowing how one person experiences it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, been a softening up process, like a teenager pushing the boundaries & then acting like a petulant toddler when they get called out.

S-Westerly Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 The Russian bogeyman never went away but the West deliberately pretended it did and spent more energy on arguing about genders than on actual ability to defend ourselves and our allies. Our leadership (most Western governments) are morally bankrupt - Johnson, Biden and Trump before him, Merkel Macron, Trudeau et al. Now we're flapping but it's a bit bloody late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now there's several ships on their way to and from Milford Haven with gas from the USA. This business is likely to grow as the US just opened a new gas export terminal in the Gulf of Mexico.

Bender Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 It was never about of us not getting gas, only a small percentage comes from Russia, but if it gets restricted in mainland ussr I mean Europe then market forces will push prices through the roof, it will be a bidding war. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

husoi Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 China won't go against Russia because they are in a similar position as Russia but without the fighting. Why is similar? Taiwan, Hong-Kong, Philippines sea, Nepal. Although Chinese are a bit more clever and do it silently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeHorton Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I think the UK needs to reassess its defence spending, stop overspending on absolute tat. I believe they are struggling to get a single type 45 destroyer on patrol due to engine issues and upgrades years away. The type 23s are aging now and their replacements are years away. I dont think we can effectively defend our own waters let alone anything more! I know nobody wants to think about war and spending money on something which may not happen alas we do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 If you don't pay for defence you are defenceless. We are close to that now. Armour reduced, combat aircraft other than helicopters reduced, infantry reduced, fleet reduced although new ships in pipeline but not quick to get. Really well set to fight tribesmen in mountains, not so well set to fight modern army on East European plains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
