Popular Post Bkk Brian Posted February 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2023 That's what I like to see, plenty of infighting among the terrorists Wagner chief accuses Russia's military leaders of 'treason' The head of Russia's Wagner mercenary outfit on Tuesday accused Moscow's military chiefs of refusing to supply the group with munitions and seeking to destroy it, saying this amounted to "treason". Yevgeny Prigozhin's private fighting force, which has recruited from prisons across Russia to bolster its ranks, is playing a key role in the offensive for the city of Bakhmut in east Ukraine. The battle for Bakhmut has exposed tensions between the Wagner group and the Russian army, though the Kremlin denies any rift. https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20230221-wagner-chief-accuses-russia-s-military-leaders-of-treason 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to rethink western strategy in Ukraine? Here you go again,what is the West to do? Stop giving aid to the Ukraine and basically tell Putin to carry on as he likes? You have got to be kidding me! If he gets away with this it will encourage him (and people like him)to just keep on bullying the world. I get it,you don't like war,i don't like it either .

No. As has been explained, rewarding nuclear blackmail leads to more nuclear blackmail, and not just from Russia. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russia will be defeated in Ukraine and detente will be reached after the war. Reason is simple. Joe Biden is the right man at a right time. He is a competent leader and committed to help Ukraine together with the allies and he has no personal agenda to hold military aids. Scare tactics like yours are just typical of the far right when they have nothing much to contribute. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does not change the fact that rewarding nuclear blackmail leads to more nuclear blackmail with more players jumping into the game. That is a greater long-term risk than calling Putin's bluff now. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biden did nothing to unite NATO but he did destroy a lot of confidence within it with his midnight flit out of Afghanistan in 2021!! It was Putin who actually restored NATO unity by invading Ukraine! Trump was miffed at most NATO members because, for many years, they failed to pay their agreed fair share for defence. As a result of that pressure, a few NATO members were slightly better equipped and more militarily capable by 2022. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That display of intelligence, competence, and support for Ukraine is what united NATO into backing Ukraine.

The Ukrainians did that! Biden didn't "alert" any relevant parties that were not not already acutely aware of Putin's massing of troops near the border before invading. The Ukrainians were already fighting in the Donbass anyway. Biden stated the bleeding obvious about a month before the invasion but NATO and others were already very aware of this worst-case probability. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
