@@jack727dave5I think it’s unfair but that’s the reality of being the winning side. It’s all about what options Ukraine realistically has. If they realistically had the option of taking back all of their territory and still having a functioning country left over to save at the end then Russia wouldn’t be able to make that offer so they’d be asking for a lot less. Reading part of what Putin said about that June offer he made, he was openly saying it’s a worse deal than what was agreed to in 2022 and that if they wait longer the deal will only get worse. So I suspect there’s some intention there to try to make it seem like the sooner they negotiate the better the offer will be, and therefore conversely it’s not in Ukraine’s interests to simply drag it out to try to weaken Russia, which is what some in the west see as the benefit of prolonging the war. I think this is meant to perhaps appeal to Zelensky to realise that continuing the war might be something the Americans encourage but it’s not a good idea for Ukraine. Sewing the seed of division there mentally.

Not long ago I visited Slovakia as part of a program to exchange combat experience between NATO and partner countries, where I met a local politician from the ruling party. After several general phrases, he told me that he empathizes with the Ukrainian people, but maybe it’s time for us to accept reality and give Putin what he wants. My counter question about what part of Slovakia he would give to Putin and how many of their citizens he would send to be torn to pieces for the sake of “peace” caused him noticeable irritation. In any case, this small exchange of pleasantries is just a symptom of the Russian narrative persistently trying to convince that it is we Ukrainians who, for some reason, do not want peace. The reality is we are all very tired. This applies to everyone, the political leadership, civil society and, of course, the army. Nevertheless, the vast majority of our people understand that any concessions to Putin are simply a continuation of the war several years later, and on his terms. Thus, the war continues and I don’t see its end yet. A difficult mobilization awaits us, and it looks like the most critical winter will be this year, while Putin will be forced to announce another wave of partial mobilization, or look for the source of human resources in some other way, simultaneously rolling out T34 from museums.

Putin’s good at playing the European right. Russia’s permanently lost its best oil & gas customers. Its Soviet-era stockpiles are mostly depleted & even China is kinda sick of Putin’s shit. Russia’s an economic pariah now. Sure, some companies would be willing to jump back in & sell stuff there again if they had a chance, but nobody’s going to make the mistake of trying to do business with Russia for a VERY long time. Worse for Russia, they’re running out of young men at a staggering rate. The male life expectancy in Russia is on par with that of The Democratic Republic of Congo’s. Between combat casualties & men just up and leaving the country’s lost a huge portion of its useful military population and an even larger chunk of its educated young people. Wars are still mostly fought by young men. Russia doesn’t have many left. The only parts of the country where the population is increasing are Muslim majority (think Dagestan) and they’re becoming a recruiting ground for ISIS-K. Russia will fail. The question is how many people will have to suffer and die with it. Russia is still a bear, but it’s Cocaine Bear now. You know it’s not long for the world but until it strokes out or suffers a fatal heart attack it is still a coke-fueled bear….

With his "offering" Putin is ultimately appealing to the latent indifference and lack of empathy found in humanity, the indifference in knowing what are the terms of such a "deal", the indifference in reflecting on what it actually entails and costs the victims of said "deal", and the complete and utter lack of empathy, as they don't put themselves in the position of those victims.

The problem is that Ukraine is fighting a war we would never fight. I served 17 years as an artilleryman in the Danish army. 15 of those years as an artillery commander. Our projections on when, why and what we'd use artillery on boils down to: 1) Mopping up the crumbs after the airforce has broken the bread. 2) Containment, via blockade fire, in maneuver warfare, to make sure the armoured infantry has their back safe. 3) Select stubborn targets that are fortified enough that air bombing would take ages while also being low value enough that breaking out the expensive bunker busters is not in keeping with frugality principles. This means that even quadrupling our artillery shell output is still a bloody drop in the ocean. Ukraine would ideally need half a million shells a month (which translates to 167 fresh barrels a month!) to pummel Russia into submission. But allied total production capability, even if we assume South Korea goes brrrr, is a far cry from that. And what everyone is asking is: "What do we do with umpteen factories once the war is over?" The real problem is that we told Ukraine to fight an artillery war without artillery. Shit like ATACMS, fighter jets, combat helicopters, and armoured infantry is what we should have focused on BEFORE Russia mined everything to oblivion. We were too bloody slow, and now we will have to pay three times as much in money, and the Ukrainians will have to pay five times as much in blood.

I could say the western nations have been played like a fiddle by putin for decades in his other actions and studiously looked the other way from 2014 until end of 2021, then since 2022 have still been hoping it would go away.

Occasionally I see pro-Russian commentators laughing about the fall of the "arsenal of democracy" and I feel the need to respond by saying that the USA alone fields _four separate air forces_ larger than Russia's, to say nothing of its European allies. NATO can't win an artillery war and it doesn't _need_ to win an artillery war- because it has so many aircraft and precision fires that it could obliterate the Russian air force inside of 24 hours assuming proper prep time. A cold war gone hot would be over so fucking fast it would make the Gulf War look like a joke. Towed artillery, which Ukraine depends so heavily on, likely wouldn't even get a chance to fire before the outcome of the war was decided.

As pointed out by Vlad Vexler, no one is talking about Putin’s ultimatum also demands _“the withdrawal of inappropriate military presence in the regions where it doesn’t belong as a precondition for the establishment of adequate Eurasian security.”_ Translation: he wants NATO to completely clear out & abandon all of Eastern & Central Europe before he’d be willing to discuss anything regarding Ukraine.

I would like to note that the "give up any cards you might be able to play before we start negociating" is basically what the 1918 armistice represented vis-à-vis of the Paris peace conference. It was a surrender, and something too many people forget.

An Austrian painter didn't.

A shell is by no means always a shell. Occasionally it becomes an explosive that blows up _your own gun_ when you fire it. This happens invariably if there are any voids within the high explosive filling because those cause friction when the shell is accelerated. And that is why the Swedish factory making those shells that recently put out a video about it, uses an x-ray machine to check every single shell for voids. Steps like these are the reason why Western-made shells cost upwards of US$ 4k a pop. The biggest concern I have about the recent Czech initiative of going around poor countries to buy back old artillery shells and sell them to Ukraine is how well they survived their global travels to who knows what kind of places and climates and being stored in who knows what kind of damp cellars, and whether or not they might not lead to increased numbers of kabooms on the Ukrainian side. Fingers crossed. Maybe *Rheinmetall* can check shells from dubious sources once they open that eight-billion-Euro shell factory that we German taxpayers recently gifted to them so that the private company, listed on the stock exchange, can start making 50 days' worth of arty shells _per year._ Measured in Ukraine shell consumption figures. BTW Rheinmetall's entire turnover in 2023 was _less_ than the cost of that factory. It really makes me wonder why we German taxpayers can't simply build that factory for ourselves, and keep it, rather than send Rheinmetall's stock prices skyrocketing and give any insiders a great stock trading opportunity.

The problem is what Russia is going to give to N. Korea in return. If it is technical assistance in making (or miniaturising) nukes or improving the range and accuracy of their missiles, it will turn out to create a big problem for the future. N. Korea will be much a much more dangerous and unpredictable adversary in the future. If N. Korea is a huge annoyance to Japan and S. Korea now, think of how it will act when it knows that their weapons are much more accurate and dangerous, or if they have the range to hit the continental USA. Of course, this also creates problems for China too; the whole situation in Asia will be more precarious and any conflict in the area will escalate Chinas problems with its neighbours and its economy.

There was a bit of a scandal in China because one of the best selling movies based on Chinese culture in years (and one of the all time best selling movies in China) was the American movie Kung Fu Panda and it left Chinese citics even asking "why are Americans making better Chinese movie then we are?". Which isn't the sort of thing you'd expect from any other country other then America to do.
