wasn't that the Germans?Forget it, he's rolling.
Here's an out for Russia. A bit radical perhaps. Put a price of $250,000,000 on Putin's head. Then watch how quickly he'd be taken out.I was reading about Finland and this is a good way of creating an out.
Ukraine says it won't join NATO or the EU but keeps its independence.
Russia keeps Crimea and Donetsk and Luhansk.
So both sides have a win and can pretend to be happy and the war stops.
This could be the only possible out in which both sides can live with. Not a good or agreeable out but an out.
Short term or long term, this is a peace treaty which can work. And would be better than a bitter insurgency or Russia launching nuclear weapons.
Not a case of whether I agree with this or not but it stops the bullets flying.
Ukraine can't win and Russia needs an out.
At this point, I don't think Russia really has an "out".
Their seizure of Crimea and subversion of the Donbass is wrong.
Their attack of the Ukraine proper is wrong.
The only recourse for Russia is to publicly hang and abuse the corpse of Putin, restore the Ukraine's borders to pre-2014 boundaries and pay restitution to the Ukraine.
Period.
And, in a few years, the Russians orchestrate another "liberation movement" in another strategic border area. Nibble, nibble.While I would prefer this "out", I think it will be something closer to The Baskets "out."

This "nukes will fly" is a bit dramatic, really.The war has to stop.
Regardless.
Doesn't matter why and where or what.
Put Russia against the wall and the nukes will fly.
A long drawn out insurgency is going to help Ukraine how?
Is Ukraine about to invade Moscow?
It's no longer about winning or losing.
Ukraine is losing and Russia is losing. It is a chance to end this and rebuild and see what transpires in time.
Hey Stig1207,
re "Not really, she was just out of her depth as Minister of Defence."
Any reason to think she was out of her depth more than her replacement (Morten Bødskov, whose former post was Mister of Taxation) is?
IDK, if China offers several thousand of GP6 laser-guided 155 mm artillery projectiles and the means to fire and guide them I expect they'd say yes please.If I were Ukrainian, I wouldn't be cutting ANY deals with Beijing in the near future.
Their drones had a launch issue on one critical search leg ...
Right story, wrong battle. That was the Midway scenario. Three days shy of six months later.Scout #4 was late launching off of Tone.
That's an issue for us here in Canada as well. Our MoD was newly appointed to focus primarily on #metoo sexual misconduct and gender/ethnicity representation issues.Hey Stig1207,

No, they use 122 & 152 FSU standard artillery. The Chinese, meanwhile, do make a 152mm CLGP that would be very helpful to Ukrainian gunners.ukraine is not using 155mm artillery pieces at all
