Yet you bothered to reply to me without us not even previously having spoken to tell me this. Pointless.

Go to somewhere for the sake of going there, not to escape Trump and his cult. Means you are less likely to face disappointment when it doesn't match any erroneous expectations you might have.

I'm not sure why you struggle with the concept that you might respond differently to enemies depending on their relative power and global standing.

Put it like that I would agree. But most of the people I was responding to seem to believe that Ukraine can regain all of the territory it has lost. We still have posters talking about blowing up the bridge and taking Crimea.

If I went around telling people in your local area that you were a paedophile do you think it would be right that I faced no consequences when it turned out to be not true but only after you had been beaten to pulp? I would have known that people believing it would be likely to attack you...

Not formally but It's almost over. They are on course for defeat.

You take Robert Peston seriously? I take him more seriously as a musician.

Good post. But Wouldn't it push up salaries in the Army and air force and other frontline public services? And create more demand in the defence industry.

Do think that a goverment could survive the backlash caused by the necessary tax rises for these pay increases ?

He's been saying the same thing for years. Why do you think he won't try to force a deal? When he wanted to make one with Kim and made one with the Taliban? What are the barriers to him making a deal? Does he stand to benefit on going back on his word on this issue? It's not that there aren't...

As ever it was always you first. It betrays your insecurities.

Did you really have to get your confirmation bias from hawkish (on all wars, not just Ukraine) thinktank?

No one knows If it's a bluff or bullshit. I'm just not prepared to accept the risk. Zelensky has accepted he needs to sue for peace. We've already gone over this. Is it possible to hold the belief that it is a risk and not be a coward in bunker in the back garden? Fortunately, neither of us...

Weird paranoid post. You are just making stuff. No it's Donald Trump's.

% of success = % territory that stays Ukraine?

Same for Cluster munitions.

This is a higher risk threshold. And the lowest chance of success for Ukraine.

Good points. So it's better to change the nature of the war than continuing fighting a format of war they have proved incapable of winning.
