The issue with the Australian helicopters keeps popping up - I get it that people want to get equipment to Ukraine, but they need field ready machines that can be put to work ASAP.

Even if the U.S. were to provide UH-60's to Ukraine, there would be training both with pilots and ground crew plus logistics for parts and such - all of which would create downtime and a lag between acquisition and deployment.

Something is better than nothing. besides it was the Ukrainians asking for them.

Although one can go on war production fact is the modern russian tech is heavily depending on western parts like chips and components like range finders etc.

They can get some from the chinese i guess but i do not think that is in china's best intrest to deliver on a big scale.

So although one can expect i.g more tanks the will be lesser in fighting quality. And that quality was not top notch to start with.
For the ones they get out of the mothballs it will be even worse.

Don't forget that if Ukraine were to lose, the psychological blow to the West/NATO would be immense (especially if it is partially driven by a stab to the back...). Likewise the psychological uplift to Russia would also be strong. The next steps then might be to make a move towards the Baltic states and to then see if the already demoralised NATO is willing to stand up especially if the likes of London or Berlin is threatened with nuclear weapons all whilst a well funded '5th column' is active.

Even if Russia defeats the UAF and forces a total victory, Russia will be facing a Ukrainian insurgency that will make Afghanistan look like a Sunday picnic.

True...and some of those same insurgents might be inclined to also take action elsewhere

Kateryna Stepanenko from the Institute for the Study of War
Ambassador John Bolton, former national security advisor to Donald Trump

Not of fan of videos that say, "Putin out of Time", etc. According to the videos, he's been out of time for a long time now

That's the problem with video and media dumps. We have no context. Does the poster believe Putin is out of time? We have no idea what the discussion point is.

Let's give it a try ourselves…. no context, no premise or supposition. You guess what it means….
