Biden has been on Russian payroll since they financed his campaign in 1972. Putin wanted Hunter on the board of Burisma to block the corruption investigation into Zlochevsky because Putin was using Ukraine as a piggy bank with his puppet Yanukovych in place, until Ukrainians held massive protests for 4 months with Euromaiden from 2013-March 2014.

Yup while our cowardly politicians delay ukrainians die . Worse still their weakness gives hope to putin. If we go all in putin will know he cannot win.
Posters here think that Putin would be replaced with a peace loving pacifist. Nope! The sentiments from both the military and civilians in Russia is for Putin to hit Ukraine MUCH harder, with nukes if necessary. Any replacement for Putin will be much worse and more anti west than Putin. Imagine Prigozhin replacing Putin.
it depends on how much cool aid the Russian peeps have gulped. if I right the Ukraine leadership are counting in lost Russians as a guide to how much loss Russians can take. at first it was common knowledge that 250k was the limit. but because of events and better understanding of how bad it is in Russia, I'm now saying 500k. that's the sad, unfortunate mission Ukraine have been forced into.
Perhaps well and truly destroying Putin's beloved Kerch bridge with those new missiles, and devastating his military infrastructure in Crimea, would provide a good shock.

@@CroLarus Partly because Turkey and Hungary are blocking Sweden's NATO membership: with article 5, it would be much safer and easier politically to give some to UA. But that is minor reason. The main reason is that Sweden as well as many other nations are not committed to Ukrainian victory, only Ukrainian survival. Some countries, like Poland and Lithuania, realize that Ukraine must win or there will be much more higher price to pay later on. Others who support Ukraine, seem not to get how crucial it is to aid Ukraine to win as fast as possible. I guess there is some misplaced hope that peace, a lasting one, can be achieved by other means. There ain't. There never was. Russian imperialistic project must come to an end. Together we have all the means, just not enough will.
We're on the border of the country with the world's biggest nuclear arsenal, many thousands of miles away from any of us, and we're talking not about pursuing diplomacy or peace but about how we might escalate the situation with 'military shocks'. Hmmm yes, so sane and rational. Finally some common sense!
Easiest, and quickest way to end the war is to do as the ancient Chinese general Sun Tzu says in his book The Art of War, you don't directly attack your enemy, you attack your enemy's ability to wage war, because then your enemy cannot continue to wage war if his ability to do so is destroyed, ergo, we need to do the same with Russia i.e. don't attack it directly, attack it's ability to wage war.
Thants exactly what the Russian Federation is doing to Ukraine - do you really think that they are Attacking Daycare and Hospitals and Apartment Buildings - the Ukrainian never tell you the truth, but you guys fall their lies all the time!
If we follow your logic, then the war could be ended very quickly if other countries stopped massively supplying Ukraine with arms. Of course, some would say that would mean abandoning Ukraine to foreign occupation but we must remember the war was never about liberating Ukraine. It has been about inflicting as much damage as possible on Russia. Countries like the USA and Britain will avail themselves of Ukrainian cannon fodder to achieve this goal. If they really did feel strongly about a people being oppressed by another, then they would have taken as much interest in the freedom and welfare of the Palestinian people who are oppressed, dispossessed, harassed, humiliated and subjected to armed attack every day by Israeli colonists and an Israeli army massively supplied by the USA.
Yamamoto tried the military shock tactic against the US at midway, it didnt make any difference. If your adversary is 10times your strength, time is on his side! The time has come for negotiations. Let everyone keep what they have conquered is the natural solution otherwise it will probably carry on till the last Ukrainian!
The supply of Storm Shadows is expected to be around 1000. There is a need for a launch platform. In Ukraine, the SU-27,29,31, TU-95, and 160 are in short supply. Could this be an unstated justification for the mandatory modernization of the Ukrainian Air Force? If this is the case,training couldn't be more welcome! Slava Ukraini!
@@theloniuspunk383 Wow tough question. Why would anyone support Putins invasion of a neutral country is the real question Besides it is fun to watch the 2nd greatest military on the planet reduced to rubble.

Still nobody talking about sitting down and discussing a peaceful solution. But jets, more powerful missiles, hatred and division is all we hear. When will we ever learn. This conflict didn't start last year, but western leaders would like you to think so. In whos interest is it to stoke this conflict and keep it going as long as possible? Peace
For most people, it's like rooting for their favorite football team. No sense of the real tragedy being played out. Fifteen million Ukrainians have now fled the country. If they ever decide to come back there won't be anything left but rubble.
The problem with that is that it destroys the quick exit route for the Russians and will therefore back them into a corner. Destroy it once they're out.
You want to end the war, I want the Russian governmental problem permanently solved. The people of Russia are mostly good people who deserve true freedom. We patriots are going to make it happen. We will be one.
The people of Russia are not "good people". They are cowards who refuse to take charge of their own country, preferring to let some dictator run things so they don't have to bother. If they ever wake up and take their country back from the dictators, put in the real effort to create a good country, then (and ONLY then) can you call them "good people". No one "deserves freedom"!! Freedom is something you either protect and maintain, or you don't. Russians don't.
And yet we are attempting to destroy their economy, stealing their assets, banning them from competing in events, banning their cats from competing in events! and killing their sons and daughters in service of the US economy. How is this persuading them that NATO or America as it more accurately named, is not the threat President Putin said it was?
I'm sure you have ample evidence to back that claim/talking point? Have weapons systems been delivered as fast as we'd like, no, but it's not like the world just has a bunch of hardware laying around or that Ukraine has the personnel that can leverage said hardware.... For instance, Zelensky has requested fighter jets since the start, but what use are they if they're not Soviet models they currently operate, have logistical support for and maintenance operations in place?
@@ilaser4064 All war is forever war, ultimately. I get your point and Ukraine is most definitely not a war that the world's capitalists can afford to lose. The poor will be oppressed, the rich will get rich. Earth will die. No need for you to get your knickers in a twist, unless you have a novel solution (Eg #ZenAndTheArtOfSavingLifeOnEarth)
Those "Storm Shadow" missiles are wing launched so fighter aircraft are critical to deploy them. That could be a negating constraint so Britain would have justification for supplying "fighter jets".
@@ilaser4064 The UK has nearly 150 Tornado GR4 in storage. They would be significantly more effective than either the F16 or Gripen because their ground attack, close air support and general low level capabilities are significantly better than either Gripen or F16. Remember that the real war is with the Russian army, not its air force.
It's not just the jets, we should've supported Ukraine in 2014 when this all started by giving them the means to resist Russia, instead the West did almost nothing, and again in 2022 Feb. We should then have sent them what they needed to at least be able to target the Russian artillery and tanks that were demolishing their cities, but again almost nix! How many Ukrainian lives could've been saved had we reacted much earlier? Slava Ukraine! 💙💛 Glory to the heroes🎖
It was Ukraine that was shelling ethnic Russians in east Ukraine in 2014 and killed thousands by the outbreak of the war , perhaps you think more weapons to shell innocent Russians could have killed more .
This is why Ukraine still needs your help guys, please send more help to fight Putin and end this all once and for all, remember if Ukraine looses this war Putin will go further he won’t stop on Ukraine alone.
Yes, this is an extremely messy business. It seems the only way to capture land is through foot soldiers, in other words, feet on the ground. Trying to fight a war with military hardware alone seems to have achieved nothing - bit like stalemate in chess..
For about a year now Ukrainian pilots have been trading on F-16's here where I live. It's common knowledge and talked about frequently on the local news.
With cost of “black gold” at 15-23 dollars per barrel, the USSR economy collapsed, and the sovok itself collapsed, and the "golden" horde ("russia") budget can only be fulfilled only with oil price at $ 42.4 and higher
The Dutch, Danes, Belgians, Norwegians all have F16s available as they have moved to F35s. Ukrainians have been getting trained in Poland and elsewhere. The ligustics train is already fully present in both Poland and Romania. Ukrainian F16 will have to be based as far from Russia as possible and close to zpoland and Romania. Its a matter of many weeks and not many months let alone years.
What, the notorious pro Russian commentator that has been claiming Russian victory for how many months now? You do realise he is suggesting 1M Russians soldiers are marching to Poland, when they cannot raise enough men to take a small town after 9 months? I guess if Don junior interviews him he must be legit, right?
But Crimea itself is unsinkable aircraft carrier. Europe will be dragged into this war I can just feel it. I am having flashbacks of the starting of civil war in ex Yugoslavia, I was just eight years old at the time but I remember it very well. I am afraid that Poland will be the first to go.
@@jelena7440 Yep. An unsinkable carrier that cannot go to port for resupply, or move to avoid being targeted. Unsinkable? Maybe. But, not invulnerable. It can be destroyed. It will be destroyed.
Getting to the Azov sea and isolating Crimea may only be possible if large amounts of Russians are isolated and surrender , this 'Shock and Awe' may be possible with artillery barage , however in western conflict it has been done with airforce. Hague is spot on with his reasoning on why F16 is more suited to the role , as opposed to other types of jet, with numbers ,spares and munitions far more plentiful to obtain , however unless the EU starts to match the US in defence spending and commitment , which even now with the UK out is a stronger economic power overall than the US , then these huge numbers of military financial aid will be eaten up by attrition , reducing the critical tipping point of gaining an overwhelming 'shock and awe' effect to make the Russians surrender on mass. Switching from an industrial to service economy has in effect crippled the ability to mass produce , repair ,maintain and upgrade infrastructure without years of commitment ,training and planning , that the UK has few people able to do. In call centres and financial service offices watching lines on a screen. Tory led thinking over the past 40 plus years , is it not ?
You wrote: "unless the EU starts to match the US in defence spending and commitment , which even now with the UK out is a stronger economic power overall than the US..." I would also like to see the EU come closer to the US in its military commitment to Ukraine, so that the war can end more quickly. But, just as a point of information, the last part of your statement is incorrect. According to the IMF, the US exceeds the EU in both nominal and PPP GDP. Furthermore, the US has a far higher per capita GDP (both nominal and PPP), and thus effectively more spending flexibility.
The Usa is one Country one language one goal under God but the EU is like a fracture set of Countries with different languages goals and differents rationalities.When you touch one american they all unite behind him as one goal...Go to any game where the Us is part and you will here"USA usa usa as one voice and that'st fantastic.They feel that if you touch one American you touch all of them..I leave therevfor more than 30 years and I know what Im talking about
Obviously William Hague has great experience in multiple wars having fought in the front lines and commandeed at the highest levels! (joking) Actually, I think I've most probably got more experience than him.
I don't think it's important what are the capabilities of the Typhoon itself (very good plane indeed), but that it's "Western" and can open up the door for a solid amount of F-16's. Like some Challengers (fantastic tank) paved the way for hundreds of Leopards.
Russia has a land border with both china and North Korea, and both would probably give him asylum without possibility of transfer to The Hague. I don't see him taking that option though.. While I'm convinced he's primarily motivated by greed for power, he's also an overproud nationalist.

When Russia has an abundance of anti air defense, it's not going to change a thing. the reason Russia cannot gain air superiority is because UAF has anti air battalions, just like Serbia had against NATO, NATO had to use long range bombing because the 20+ anti air systems of Serbia kept locking onto their jets whenever they tried SEAD. The same thing would happen to Ukraine if they tried to use air force against Russia.
Russia could easily gain air superiority but it is risk averse and doesn't need it. They are winning without it, it's just taking time. With the fall of Bakhmut that's almost the whole of Donbass liberated - Mission Accomplished.
@@Writeous0ne the speed at which NATO is supplying Western Ukraine is one of their major problems but as I said Russia is winning without launching an all out offensive so there's no need for them to proceed in the way suggested. Russia is managing to destroy Western Ukraine's air cover using missiles. Despite NATO's lies about shooting down all the missiles launched at Kiev they have now ordered Western Ukraine not to use it's Patriots because they got hit.
May God help Ukraine during the counter offensive to reclaim its territories and to fight for a just peace. May Blessed Velychkovsky and St Mary MacKillop of Australia, St Joseph, St George and St Michael the Archangel, intercede with the Almighty for an end to this terrible war. May Our Lady of Perpetual Help comfort all who have lost loved ones and be with those who have been injured. May all Ukrainians who have died Rest in Peace. May the Storm Shadow missiles create more havoc and mayhem among the Russian military.
God isn't on the side of either the King of South or the armies to the North or the East. He comes to destroy Babylon. I suggest you pick up your bible, kjv 1611, and read Daniel chapter 11. You will find that the King of the North has already been defeated, what lies to the north is only armies and the King of the South rides out to meet them. It also says that "they sit at the same table and cause mischief". Be careful who you support. If you are a Christian, do not support either side. God does not send missiles, he sends Our Lord Jesus Christ.
I prefer that the war continue until Russia does not have a military with which to invade other countries. Former president, Dmitry Medvedev said last week that the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) belong to Russia. They are NATO members. Putin last month said he wants to possess Polish land, another NATO member, near Kaliningrad so that Russia will be better able to defend Kaliningrad. Ending the Ukraine war quickly would be nothing more than a cease fire until Russia can acquire enough weapons to continue the war under better circumstances.
Why doesn't anyone seem to understand the wider implication of a ukraine that is part of NATO?? Any border dispute can then escalate into WW3 under article 5 of NATO. A neutral Ukraine is absolutely essential for world peace. And that was all that Putin wanted to achieve before his SMO. But he was laughed at in the international arena,when in december 2021 he tried to to talk about a new European Security Framework. So him was left no choice.
I think it will end in a naval battle as we are pushing the Russia Navy back into the Azov sea, will restrict the Russian Navy to a passage the equivalent of the Suez Canal in the Baltic Sea and will make their Med Fleet flee to East Africa. Somehow the Russians will have to try to fight their way out of a corner and they may have to do that if their fleet is breaking down with poor maintenance
It's exactly what USA wants, to tire down Europe and make it more poorer and more divided with each passing day. They would gladly see this war spread to other countries. Russians are tough and they can hold out for a long time.
There are many ways to send jets IMMEDIATELY. Jets and ground services should be provided by contractors, alongside Ukrainian personnel training on the job. F16s and Griphons should BOTH be sent by this strategy and SENT RIGHT NOW. Also, you can forget escalation threats, Ukraine just proved that putler has no missile that cannot be shot down (and that rules out his nukes, which dont explode if they crash.. broken arrow) Send the J.E.F finish ruzzia forever.
For this to "properly end", for there to be no repetition a few years down the line, Russia has to solve Russia - the Russian people, not an aggressive ingression onto Russian soil by some external force. What happened to the last 2 guys that tried to invade Russia? Ukraine taking out targets that are a threat to them that just happen to be in Russia is one thing, a full scale JEF attack is a whole different ball-game that should be well off the cards. For now at least. Unless VP, in his desperation, does something REALLY daft!
There are many thousand of both ex-aircrew and ground crew who have served with a variety of nations. Many of those experts will have hundreds of hours experience working on those exemplary older aircraft and I suspect Ukraine could put together a Ukrainian legion wing of 3 squadrons fairly quickly if the aircraft were promised. Ukrainians pilots and ground crew could be drip fed into the squadrons as they qualify and then learn from the older international hands surrounding them - win/win.
The Ukraine war will go down in history as the end of western supremacy. But this channel will still be reporting an imminent breakthrough on the battlefield. If only we can send them another of our old weapons systems.
What is the F-35's chance of winning against the Russian Su-57 in a dogfight, if they are outnumbered two to one? Both Su-57s would be heaps of burning metal on the ground before it got to a dogfight. F-35 pilot: “I got 2 contacts on radar looks like they are Su-57s, permission to fire?” AWACS: “weapons clear, permission granted” F-35 pilot: “fox-3 times two.” F-35 pilot: “Splash 1, splash 2” SU 57 are not actually entering Ukrainian airspace, and are instead being used to deploy long-range weapons at Ukrainian targets from within the protection of Russian airspace. How many SU 57 left ?
"We thought of everything." - Sergei Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister. I think Russia was expecting NATO air support over Ukraine a lot sooner than this talk of providing it. The only reason NATO didn't is because it will be horribly embarrassing when the base they fly from is destroyed. 🇺🇸/👁️\🇷🇺
Yes and another European war, civil war in 1992 ex Yugoslavia. The script is quite similar, at the time it was Bill Clinton who was pro war and Bono Vox came to Sarajevo to meet with Muslim leader, war criminal.
My question is what ways do wars end? One side must be victor. Surrender, obliteration, territorial compromise, total loss of weaponry, total loss of militaristic resources and soldiers, the death or stepping down of the power behind the battle directives, ideological alterations, the last being the best peace treaty. If we fund the war the war will continue until one of these ends is met by either side (generally speaking).
He's in a minority, but William Hague is justification for the retention of the House of Lords. It needs RADICAL reform, but there is a lot of talent there.
On various bases, yes. Together with experienced F-16 pilots training on F-35's. Maybe sharing tips & tricks? 🤔 Maybe the Ukrainians got to test-fly the F-35's too, just to be prepared? _"Don't push that and that button, not yet, just fly the plane and enjoy prospects for the future. Enjoy..:"_

And never likely to happen , only the chosen are made to goven
He was too young at the time. Straight talking so doesn't fit the bill. 😂 Massive respect for him.
We're on the border of the country with the world's biggest nuclear arsenal, many thousands of miles away from any of us, and we're talking not about pursuing diplomacy or peace but about how we might escalate the situation with 'military shocks'. Hmmm yes, so sane and rational. Finally some common sense!

Easiest, and quickest way to end the war is to do as the ancient Chinese general Sun Tzu says in his book The Art of War, you don't directly attack your enemy, you attack your enemy's ability to wage war, because then your enemy cannot continue to wage war if his ability to do so is destroyed, ergo, we need to do the same with Russia i.e. don't attack it directly, attack it's ability to wage war.
Been doing so all along. You aren't suggesting something like a Valkyrie operation are you?
Thants exactly what the Russian Federation is doing to Ukraine - do you really think that they are Attacking Daycare and Hospitals and Apartment Buildings - the Ukrainian never tell you the truth, but you guys fall their lies all the time!
Ukraine has been doing exactly that for the last year.
I think that’s what’s intended with sanctions. That’s working well isn’t it?
If we follow your logic, then the war could be ended very quickly if other countries stopped massively supplying Ukraine with arms. Of course, some would say that would mean abandoning Ukraine to foreign occupation but we must remember the war was never about liberating Ukraine. It has been about inflicting as much damage as possible on Russia. Countries like the USA and Britain will avail themselves of Ukrainian cannon fodder to achieve this goal. If they really did feel strongly about a people being oppressed by another, then they would have taken as much interest in the freedom and welfare of the Palestinian people who are oppressed, dispossessed, harassed, humiliated and subjected to armed attack every day by Israeli colonists and an Israeli army massively supplied by the USA.
What regiment was William Hague in again ?
Yamamoto tried the military shock tactic against the US at midway, it didnt make any difference. If your adversary is 10times your strength, time is on his side! The time has come for negotiations. Let everyone keep what they have conquered is the natural solution otherwise it will probably carry on till the last Ukrainian!

Still nobody talking about sitting down and discussing a peaceful solution. But jets, more powerful missiles, hatred and division is all we hear. When will we ever learn. This conflict didn't start last year, but western leaders would like you to think so. In whos interest is it to stoke this conflict and keep it going as long as possible? Peace
For most people, it's like rooting for their favorite football team. No sense of the real tragedy being played out. Fifteen million Ukrainians have now fled the country. If they ever decide to come back there won't be anything left but rubble.
Destroy the Kerch bridge
The problem with that is that it destroys the quick exit route for the Russians and will therefore back them into a corner. Destroy it once they're out.
That was a rather vague answer.
You want to end the war, I want the Russian governmental problem permanently solved. The people of Russia are mostly good people who deserve true freedom. We patriots are going to make it happen. We will be one.
The people of Russia are not "good people". They are cowards who refuse to take charge of their own country, preferring to let some dictator run things so they don't have to bother. If they ever wake up and take their country back from the dictators, put in the real effort to create a good country, then (and ONLY then) can you call them "good people". No one "deserves freedom"!! Freedom is something you either protect and maintain, or you don't. Russians don't.
And yet we are attempting to destroy their economy, stealing their assets, banning them from competing in events, banning their cats from competing in events! and killing their sons and daughters in service of the US economy. How is this persuading them that NATO or America as it more accurately named, is not the threat President Putin said it was?
The Russian people are cowards
Whats depressing is the slow walking weapons systems.
Some people want forever wars!!
I'm sure you have ample evidence to back that claim/talking point? Have weapons systems been delivered as fast as we'd like, no, but it's not like the world just has a bunch of hardware laying around or that Ukraine has the personnel that can leverage said hardware....
For instance, Zelensky has requested fighter jets since the start, but what use are they if they're not Soviet models they currently operate, have logistical support for and maintenance operations in place?
@@ilaser4064 All war is forever war, ultimately. I get your point and Ukraine is most definitely not a war that the world's capitalists can afford to lose. The poor will be oppressed, the rich will get rich. Earth will die. No need for you to get your knickers in a twist, unless you have a novel solution (Eg #ZenAndTheArtOfSavingLifeOnEarth)
Those "Storm Shadow" missiles are wing launched so fighter aircraft are critical to deploy them. That could be a negating constraint so Britain would have justification for supplying "fighter jets".
But if you listened to what he said, F-16's or Grippen's will need to be supplied due to local requirements, the UK has neither.
pointless comment as Russia has aleady destroyed them along with us patriot missiles
@@ilaser4064 The UK has nearly 150 Tornado GR4 in storage. They would be significantly more effective than either the F16 or Gripen because their ground attack, close air support and general low level capabilities are significantly better than either Gripen or F16. Remember that the real war is with the Russian army, not its air force.
@Klemheist The Polish air force has also modified its MiG29s so that they can carry Storm Shadow.
@@hb1338 Not so sure about that. I'm sure they got rid to countries still using it, or scrapped them
Thanks for posting.
It's not just the jets, we should've supported Ukraine in 2014 when this all started by giving them the means to resist Russia, instead the West did almost nothing, and again in 2022 Feb. We should then have sent them what they needed to at least be able to target the Russian artillery and tanks that were demolishing their cities, but again almost nix! How many Ukrainian lives could've been saved had we reacted much earlier?
Slava Ukraine! 💙💛 Glory to the heroes🎖
It all comes from America basically
They were asleep at the wheel basically..
It was Ukraine that was shelling ethnic Russians in east Ukraine in 2014 and killed thousands by the outbreak of the war , perhaps you think more weapons to shell innocent Russians could have killed more .

KEEP ON TALKING ------- JUDAS!!!!!!!!
This war has been in the back of my mind and looming over me for months i just want it resolved
Yes, this is an extremely messy business. It seems the only way to capture land is through foot soldiers, in other words, feet on the ground. Trying to fight a war with military hardware alone seems to have achieved nothing - bit like stalemate in chess..
Oh it will last for years. If you remember the last war in Europe, it lasted for four years, ex Yugoslavia, civil war 1992-1996.
For about a year now Ukrainian pilots have been trading on F-16's here where I live. It's common knowledge and talked about frequently on the local news.
All the more for Russian pilots to shoot down.
With cost of “black gold” at 15-23 dollars per barrel, the USSR economy collapsed, and the sovok itself collapsed, and the "golden" horde ("russia") budget can only be fulfilled only with oil price at $ 42.4 and higher
Glory to Ukraine !!!
The Dutch, Danes, Belgians, Norwegians all have F16s available as they have moved to F35s. Ukrainians have been getting trained in Poland and elsewhere. The ligustics train is already fully present in both Poland and Romania. Ukrainian F16 will have to be based as far from Russia as possible and close to zpoland and Romania. Its a matter of many weeks and not many months let alone years.
And the Russians wipe the Ukrainians runways out ! And what happens then as next ?? ☝️😆🤣😅😂🙂

So no real answer then.

Isolating Crimea by advancing to the Sea of Azov, and
destroying the Kerch bridge,
will be a great shock to Russia.
But Crimea itself is unsinkable aircraft carrier. Europe will be dragged into this war I can just feel it. I am having flashbacks of the starting of civil war in ex Yugoslavia, I was just eight years old at the time but I remember it very well. I am afraid that Poland will be the first to go.

Clear as mud then, regarding what a mitlitary shock would actually be
This was much about nothing. Times radio you put out too many videos.
Oldest baby in the world raises his head above the parapet to give us his pearls of wisdom on the War in Ukraine
Getting to the Azov sea and isolating Crimea may only be possible if large amounts of Russians are isolated and surrender , this 'Shock and Awe' may be possible with artillery barage , however in western conflict it has been done with airforce. Hague is spot on with his reasoning on why F16 is more suited to the role , as opposed to other types of jet, with numbers ,spares and munitions far more plentiful to obtain , however unless the EU starts to match the US in defence spending and commitment , which even now with the UK out is a stronger economic power overall than the US , then these huge numbers of military financial aid will be eaten up by attrition , reducing the critical tipping point of gaining an overwhelming 'shock and awe' effect to make the Russians surrender on mass. Switching from an industrial to service economy has in effect crippled the ability to mass produce , repair ,maintain and upgrade infrastructure without years of commitment ,training and planning , that the UK has few people able to do. In call centres and financial service offices watching lines on a screen. Tory led thinking over the past 40 plus years , is it not ?
You wrote: "unless the EU starts to match the US in defence spending and commitment , which even now with the UK out is a stronger economic power overall than the US..."
I would also like to see the EU come closer to the US in its military commitment to Ukraine, so that the war can end more quickly. But, just as a point of information, the last part of your statement is incorrect. According to the IMF, the US exceeds the EU in both nominal and PPP GDP. Furthermore, the US has a far higher per capita GDP (both nominal and PPP), and thus effectively more spending flexibility.
@@chemystify How many people in the US ,how many people in Europe that is what you are basing on per capita ?
@@paulgee1952 Yes, to convert from GDP to per capita GDP, you divide by the population, which is currently 447 M for the EU and 332 M for the US.

At least Great Britain is taking their obligations to defend Ukraine more seriously than the US is.
Don't you have pity for the Ukraine's talk peace
Obviously William Hague has great experience in multiple wars having fought in the front lines and commandeed at the highest levels! (joking) Actually, I think I've most probably got more experience than him.
Par for the course where pro NATO commentators are concerned.
Me too, as a woman tuning in the SkyNews excellent reporting by none other than Michael Clarke, adviser to Defence Committee in Parliament.
Typhoons don't do ground attack, whereas the F-16s can. That's the difference.
I don't think it's important what are the capabilities of the Typhoon itself (very good plane indeed), but that it's "Western" and can open up the door for a solid amount of F-16's. Like some Challengers (fantastic tank) paved the way for hundreds of Leopards.

This was such an easy fix. No NATO in Ukraine.
When Russia has an abundance of anti air defense, it's not going to change a thing. the reason Russia cannot gain air superiority is because UAF has anti air battalions, just like Serbia had against NATO, NATO had to use long range bombing because the 20+ anti air systems of Serbia kept locking onto their jets whenever they tried SEAD. The same thing would happen to Ukraine if they tried to use air force against Russia.
Russia could easily gain air superiority but it is risk averse and doesn't need it. They are winning without it, it's just taking time. With the fall of Bakhmut that's almost the whole of Donbass liberated - Mission Accomplished.
@@psymantronic1528 They could but they would lose a lot of air force and the anti air systems will eventually just get replaced by donors.
@@Writeous0ne the speed at which NATO is supplying Western Ukraine is one of their major problems but as I said Russia is winning without launching an all out offensive so there's no need for them to proceed in the way suggested.

Despite NATO's lies about shooting down all the missiles launched at Kiev they have now ordered Western Ukraine not to use it's Patriots because they got hit.

May Our Lady of Perpetual Help comfort all who have lost loved ones and be with those who have been injured. May all Ukrainians who have died Rest in Peace. May the Storm Shadow missiles create more havoc and mayhem among the Russian military.
God isn't on the side of either the King of South or the armies to the North or the East. He comes to destroy Babylon. I suggest you pick up your bible, kjv 1611, and read Daniel chapter 11. You will find that the King of the North has already been defeated, what lies to the north is only armies and the King of the South rides out to meet them. It also says that "they sit at the same table and cause mischief". Be careful who you support. If you are a Christian, do not support either side. God does not send missiles, he sends Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Give Ukraine fighter jets now
I prefer that the war continue until Russia does not have a military with which to invade other countries. Former president, Dmitry Medvedev said last week that the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) belong to Russia. They are NATO members. Putin last month said he wants to possess Polish land, another NATO member, near Kaliningrad so that Russia will be better able to defend Kaliningrad. Ending the Ukraine war quickly would be nothing more than a cease fire until Russia can acquire enough weapons to continue the war under better circumstances.
Why doesn't anyone seem to understand the wider implication of a ukraine that is part of NATO?? Any border dispute can then escalate into WW3 under article 5 of NATO. A neutral Ukraine is absolutely essential for world peace. And that was all that Putin wanted to achieve before his SMO. But he was laughed at in the international arena,when in december 2021 he tried to to talk about a new European Security Framework. So him was left no choice.
Ukraine will be part of NATO and there is nothing Putin can do about it. The sooner this is made clear to him, militarily, the better.
Spot on .. Russia has every right to defend itself against the war mongering US led NATO
Glory to all Ukrainians now has more power.🙌

I think it will end in a naval battle as we are pushing the Russia Navy back into the Azov sea, will restrict the Russian Navy to a passage the equivalent of the Suez Canal in the Baltic Sea and will make their Med Fleet flee to East Africa.

It's exactly what USA wants, to tire down Europe and make it more poorer and more divided with each passing day. They would gladly see this war spread to other countries. Russians are tough and they can hold out for a long time.
There are many ways to send jets IMMEDIATELY. Jets and ground services should be provided by contractors, alongside Ukrainian personnel training on the job. F16s and Griphons should BOTH be sent by this strategy and SENT RIGHT NOW. Also, you can forget escalation threats, Ukraine just proved that putler has no missile that cannot be shot down (and that rules out his nukes, which dont explode if they crash.. broken arrow) Send the J.E.F finish ruzzia forever.
For this to "properly end", for there to be no repetition a few years down the line, Russia has to solve Russia - the Russian people, not an aggressive ingression onto Russian soil by some external force. What happened to the last 2 guys that tried to invade Russia? Ukraine taking out targets that are a threat to them that just happen to be in Russia is one thing, a full scale JEF attack is a whole different ball-game that should be well off the cards. For now at least. Unless VP, in his desperation, does something REALLY daft!
There are many thousand of both ex-aircrew and ground crew who have served with a variety of nations. Many of those experts will have hundreds of hours experience working on those exemplary older aircraft and I suspect Ukraine could put together a Ukrainian legion wing of 3 squadrons fairly quickly if the aircraft were promised. Ukrainians pilots and ground crew could be drip fed into the squadrons as they qualify and then learn from the older international hands surrounding them - win/win.

Send Hague over to Putin two bald men can fight over a comb, the sound of Hague self confident assumptions would be enough to make Putin call it off
My question is what ways do wars end? One side must be victor. Surrender, obliteration, territorial compromise, total loss of weaponry, total loss of militaristic resources and soldiers, the death or stepping down of the power behind the battle directives, ideological alterations, the last being the best peace treaty. If we fund the war the war will continue until one of these ends is met by either side (generally speaking).
