Ukraine Conflict

[pmp10]

Interestingly enough France is supposed to even provide 'light tanks'.
I wonder what has changed recently.

Not that great a vehicle, but guess better than nothing.

It's the precedent that is interesting.
Until recently delivering a western-made IFV was sure to start a nuclear war.
Now you can do 'light-tanks' and be fine.

Chances are that Putin turned-down one carrot too many and so here comes the stick.

Western IFV is probably more potent. But Bradleys may go soon, although wonder if it'll be as much as the Ukrainians want or just enough to say some were sent.

But what's changed in the math is curious, maybe they convinced the Western donors of their plans.

I don't mind, though. They can keep doing that for all I care. Maybe the war will then end sooner, idk.

With the current variables, my sense is that the quickest way towards peace is indeed that as many Russians as possible die as quickly as possible. It is not pleasant at all, but does anyone have a realistic alternative in the current situation?

Something completely unexpected may happen, and that may change everything. But right now, that's how I see the situation.

There is one alternative, which would cost only one lost live. But for that, there would need to be found someone, who has at least half as big balls as Iranian women have

and further follow up of Makiivka incident.
