Re: Ukraine
There have been pre plan military exercises going on in Norway this month. There's been a few different air forces up there.

Re: Ukraine
This is intriguing - a meeting between American and Russian military officials in Moscow.

Even if nothing comes of it, it does illustrate why channels of communication must remain open, and the Russians not goaded into breaking off diplomatic relations completely, as they threatened this week. The route for the assassin's bullet may be via the Russian high command.

Re: Ukraine
The day after seeing aerial footage of flattened areas in Ukraine, I read the following, which really resonated with me:
From "The Book Thief", a story narrated by Death itself:
"A few bombs usually do the trick. Or some gas chambers, or the chit-chat of faraway guns. if none of that finishes proceedings, it at least strips people of their living arrangements, and I witness the homeless everywhere."

Re: Ukraine
I would not mind betting that senior officials within Putins circle have been removed due to the poor advances and the defeat of Russian Soldiers and also that Putin is becoming paranoid that one of them will assassinate him.
Wishful thinking but just hope some-one with some sense removes Putin from power or even better kill him before he starts a nuclear war!!

I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.
Re: Ukraine
There do seem to be signs that he is ridding himself of those who could usurp him. According to a report I was reading this morning on line he has sacked the head and his deputy of the FSB - the old KGB and the Defence Minister has not been seen for 12 days.
Who knows what will happen, we seem to be in the hands of a madman intent on destroying everything he can't have.
At the moment the future seems very bleak.

Re: Ukraine
Apparently small p has achieved the desired military objectives and is now moving to another phase
Re: Ukraine
Putin- "It's all gone pear-shaped so let's pretend that this was just 'phase one' and went exactly as intended". The simple truth is the Ukrainians are beating them, and they are scrambling around trying to salvage something out of this mess.
Re: Ukraine
Once this is all over and P is gone, I hope the International community force Russia into some form of rebuilding Ukraine or at least paying reparations. Yeah I know fantasyland wishful thinking. But they cannot get away Scot free.
And why is it THE Ukraine? Not just Ukraine. I don't come from The Scotland or The Canada. Perhaps it just trips off the tongue easier
Edit - don't bother after I left here I did a Googly and there were many answers to that Q.
