Re: The War in Ukraine
Putin has no room to talk. He has already threatened to deploy tactical nuclear weapons. These are low yield close support devices, normally artillery delivered. 30 years ago the US was the world leader in such devices. We had rounds for all artillery sizes and 88mm and larger tanks.UK to supply ammunition made from depleted Uranium for its Challenger tank.

Re: The War in Ukraine
"Russia will be free": This group of Russian volunteers are fighting their own people
The Freedom for Russia Legion – a group that has claimed responsibility for an apparent incursion inside Russian territory – has one ambition. As “Caesar” says in a video statement he recorded with his comrades before joining a cross-border raid into his motherland: “Russia will be free.”
The group numbers a few hundred of diehard, battle-hardened Russian volunteers fighting their own people as part of the Ukrainian armed forces. Caesar is a former teacher, a father and has a wife living in Kyiv. He has dedicated his life to toppling Russian President Vladimir Putin and marching into Red Square and the Kremlin itself.
Caesar is a devoted member of the Orthodox Church and is nostalgic for the Tsarist era that predated the Soviet Union. His unit is well-equipped with modern armored vehicles, gunsights and the latest automatic weapons.
Previously engaged in bitter fighting south of Bakhmut, the Freedom for Russia Legion now claims to have crossed into Russia itself and, as of late afternoon on Monday, was continuing combat operations against Russian forces in areas close to the frontier.
In a Telegram post, the group said it had “liberated” a settlement in Russia's Belgorod region.
Ukrainian officials acknowledged that the unit crossed into Russia, but insist that members of the legion were operating independently as "Russian citizens."
The Legionnaires themselves have admitted that they’re often treated with suspicion by Ukrainian soldiers but hope to win them over with gallantry on the battlefield.
Their apparent incursion along a border that’s frequently used by Russian mortar teams and artillery as a firebase for attacks inside Ukraine will help further cement their reputation.
It also serves as part of ongoing psychological operations intended to undermine support for the war in Russia and the fighting spirit of Russian soldiers themselves – signaling that they could be attacked at any time and even by their own countrymen.

Re: The War in Ukraine
That threat remains not something anyone of us would want to see happen.
Russia does not need to expand. Russia's issue with defense is caused by expanse. Laying waste to Ukraine is good enough for now but its the buffer Ukraine creates between Russia and the rest of the NATO countries that is of use to the Kremlin. Russia needs to shorten its front with Europe to make it defensible. On the other hand the Ukrainian territory is rich in resources and Russia desperately do not want to loose supplying Europe with gas and other commodities. International and Ukrainian interest would like to move beyond its own territory to get into a position where they could compete or even beat Russia with the sale of gas to European countries like Germany. That will hurt the Russian GDP badly... NATO expansion caused this war. There must be massive monetary gain driving this.WhateverComment

IMO, sending all this money to Ukraine is nuts. I think Trump was right about the USA's Industrial Military Complex - War is good for business. At least for them.Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.Comment
