Current Affairs Ukraine

So if Vlad lobs some big stuff at the Ukes, this kit kinda stops them? Layman me.

It will help as part of a layered defence. It was that good in trials that the US opted for it over their own internal options.

Soldiers and alcohol abuse isn't uncommon in most armies, let alone a country that loves drinking lots of hard spirits. It'll be used to keep them going.

There were relatively common examples in the past of British troops sucking out the contents of alcohol wipes and using solvents and whatnot.

The phrase Dutch courage stems from such

Please don't say you think Navalny is a 'genuine choice' or the likes of Khordokovsky,

Where did I say that?

Most assassinations in recent Russian political history are carried out by Russians. If it happened it would almost certainly be the a continuation of this trend.

Depends mate, if you believe targetted killings of an individual aren't assassinations or not, if they are then both the US and Israel would be right up there too.

In purely Russians killed then yeah not arguing on that.

Not sure who the imprisoned option is then mate as per your original statement if you weren't referring to him. Who did you mean?

I’m saying ANYONE legitimate or otherwise who has been a threat to Putins grip on power is dead or in prison.
I’ve said nothing about whether said people would be better or worse than him, that’s just you jumping to conclusions.

I was making the point that with no obvious choice for a replacement if he’s removed, it leaves a power vacuum that you’d imagine the military or intelligence big wigs would fight over. Potentially risking getting someone just as hard-line as Putin himself.

Just speculation on my part mind, that’s how these things seem to go down in other dictatorships historically speaking.

Boredom too. Soldering is short bursts of excitement with lots and lots of boredom, so mix with cold and terrible weather and it’s a go to.

So if Vlad lobs some big stuff at the Ukes, this kit kinda stops them? Layman me.

It'll be a part of the umbrella that they'll use. The US and some NATO countries use it to cover key infrastructure such as C&C, governments and power plants.

I doubt they'll risk moving it too forward as it's pretty expensive kit, but it would be useful to cover the Ukrainian precision launchers.

Word emerging that Russia is to close its borders for able bodied men on the 26th Sept - a nation of prisoners

For the point of objectivity, it’s important to note that Ukraine did the very same very early in the war albeit for what you’d say more legitimate reasons.

Believe from the 11th of October women between the age of 18-60 are unable to leave the country of Ukraine also, at least those with any relevant experience in any of a list of over 100 professions, some are understandable such as Doctors, but the list includes all.rhe following amongst others

tax accountants, psychologists, cooks, lawyers, mathematicians, journalists, social workers, employees of banks, hotel business, musicians, secretaries, managers.

Pretty much amounts to a blanket ban on women leaving the country in essence. After the 11th they have to register as a military reservist

Look at the Dagestan ladies legging this scruff! lol
