https://www.cnn.com/europe/live-news/russia-ukraine-war-news-03-21-23/index.html Biden comes off as desperate with this after the recent peace deal in the middle east and xi talking with Putin. You had your chance earlier before any of this unfolded and instead decided to play a weather baloon for domestic points. Now sit in line

Frosted Flake posted:The Economist podcast this morning said Russia is running out of tanks because they can only produce 30 a month from Tankograd plus another 100 upgraded tanks from storage from other plants, of which they have "only" 10, 000 in storage. Ukraine destroys over 500 Russian tanks using artillery in close quarters combat every day, and that's in Bakhmut alone, you should know that.

Cookie Cutter posted:Yeah integrating the Russian high command into NATO is an interesting proposal It's going to be weird when everyone is obsessed with Russian doctrine, copies Russian tactical concepts, the memoirs of Russian officers are the template for the history of the war until Ukrainian state archives open 50 years later, and even then pop history for another 30 years. Sports commentators using "Deep Battle" to describe rapid offensive plays will turn it into a household word. Little boys are going to be obsessed with artillery systems growing up and frustrated military historians will have to explain that there are other arms of service. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWVZfqgPg-4

I get the impression that it's slowly leaking into the media that things are not going well. Even the Economist went from gloating triumphalism a month or so ago, to "well, surely the Russians will be exhausted after this". Speeding up the delivery of tanks could be read as a tacit admission that Ukraine isn't going to hold out.

Since 2014 a situation was designed so that groups that would agree to a peace are kept far away from power, and Blood and Soil nationalists, the "Veteran's Movement" people, are placed in government, military and media. Combine that with the US presumably continuing to arm them, there would be no peace. Moreover, we saw Boris Johnson personally intervene, Ukraine kill their own top negotiator, God knows what else. I don't know how China can impose a peace when nobody in Ukraine will agree to it, which seems to have been the intended result. It would take Europe ceasing support, which is apparently why Nord Stream was blown up. The US has decided to financially underwrite the Ukrainian state, such as it is, so that's not a pressure point either. Really, I agree with people who would say it would take state and military collapse, in either order, for Ukraine to be brought to the table, and for external support to not continue at least the conventional phase of the war. Well, yeah. They literally can't get any HESH rounds. What else were they going to use?

Cuttlefush posted:barons? lords? that guy is one of the remaining people in the house of lords who's there just by virtue of having inherited his seat. that practice was abolished in 1999, but they didn't throw out the sitting hereditary peers (they could easily have done that, but it would've been a messier process without a lot of practical impact). nevertheless, the question is a valuable one, so this ancient aristocrat has had a good day at his sinecure imo

We’re in a phase where western production speeds aren’t great, and states aren’t willing to shell put their reserves, but the signal via long-term aid and financial propping is that Russia is unlikely to be successful in forcing a short-term collapse of support either. The US and NATO have signaled as much (that Russia had a long war ahead of them if they were unwilling to abandon the invasion) for about a year at this point.

Also Russian reps freaking out and announcing that every new conventional weapon is actually the same as deploying nukes is one of the moves China has vocalized is not helpful or wise.
