Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Kirkstall Blue]

We should be upping the ante. Giving Ukraine everything they need. Attack helicopters, more missiles, planes, why not submarines. Take out the Black sea fleet. That Kerch bridge should be gone. 2 partial hits in what 18mths is poor imo.

Completely agree too many restrictions on the weapons we can supply and especially take out the Kerch bridge

Do you think that might be the case in anyways?

I think we will be close to be honest. But I’d Ukraine gets taken it will be 10x what it is now.

I cannot see it happening tho.

Oh really, you are frightened that poor little vlad will threaten nuclear war. He's pulled that card several times already has he not? And done nothing! Without a doubt he will continue to do nothing. He's a busted flush everyone knows it. He will be deposed long before any nuclear strikes.

Seriously why not Mosssideblue, do the Ukranians not have subs. If not why can't the west give them a couple. They don't have to be nuclear armed. There must be subs that are becoming obsolete??

So the Ukrainians don't have any facilities for a submarine I'm guessing? It would seem they have nothing left after the Russians took Crimea. Ok so perhaps a sub is a step too far at present. But there must be more kit that the west could give them that speeds this up?

Your intentions are sound and your frustration quite evident, but your suggested solutions are ridiculous and, I suspect you know that.

Probably, but luckily you don't run NATO, and there are far better people than me that know why they don't do it, and I do know some bits from my job.
