There seems to be the ability to recover but if these brigades become too many, the army\u2019s capability declines.<br \/>\n-UA has received nudges from \u201cleaders in the West\u201d (i.e., not the goulash baron and bazaar sultan) to start discussing peace terms with Putin. The USA and NATO handled this very smoothly to avoid misunderstandings, but there are leaders in Europe who still think UA should cede land for peace.<\/p>\n<p>The positive points are all military and a result of UA and the USA delivering while RU does not. The negative points are all there because RU and others are allowed to conduct their subversive activities aimed at destabilizing the EU and UA and because UA itself cannot do anything about it and the West does not act.<\/p>\n<p>Since LW, and the thread, have been right many times along the way, and have all the time been told they are wrong, I think one should consider the following which has been discussed, some topics more than others \u2013 <\/p>\n<p>-UA still lacks top-shelf offensive weapons and we have guessed they need these to retake their territory in time.<\/p>\n<p>-Militarily, Russia cannot win in UA, they probably cannot freeze the conflict either \u2013 but they can prolong the war as much as possible while working overtime on all the negative points above. <\/p>\n<p>If Western support were to disappear completely and UA stood alone, how long would the Chief of Defence and Zelensky remain? At some point, it would be more attractive to cede territory than to have the entire energy supply knocked out in a situation where the West has ceased its support.<\/p>\n<p>When that happens, we rewind to the threat Russia was before UA, they would have their \u201cwin\u201d (Russian win\u2026), they have the country on a war footing, they have control over the country, they can over time create a threat against the West with the help of China and the axis of evil.<br \/>\nWhat the EU and absolutely Sweden are doing is betting that UA will manage this without wholehearted support but if they do not, then we still have all our materiel if the threat level should increase again<br \/>\n\u2013 that way of thinking is monumental in my opinion, Russia had a low point that could not be fully exploited and they have actually continued with that low point on their own for a while longer, but UA has practical limitations to fully exploit this.<\/p>\n<p>All maneuver brigades are at active fronts (some probably are not), noticeably fewer guided munitions in support packages and signals that US stocks are starting to run low a bit, winter and active disruption of energy supply.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think UA will ever lie down on its back but there is a plethora of possible outcomes here where Zelensky is outmaneuvered and where the army no longer cooperates as they do now. Everyone has probably done group work at school and you come together around a solution when it is attractive enough but total chaos is never far away.<br \/>\nThat the EU is prepared to take this risk is IG at all levels, the military leadership of countries should reasonably have done risk analyses that politics has been given access to?<\/p>\n<p>There is still a taboo around Western armor and some myth that it escalates the war if UA strikes targets in Russia, ask the residents of Belgorod if there have been explosions or not there throughout the war.<\/p>\n<p>Now progress is being made with the terrorist classification which is very good but countries like Hungary and Turkey are allowed to double-play completely openly, Orban has taken a place on the world stage when he was supposed to be sent to the scrap heap.<br \/>\nWorld trade, visas, invitations to political warmth and all that is not a right \u2013 it is something you earn and can lose just as quickly. The EU has therefore gone harder on the UK than on Hungary. There are very strong reasons to go harder on Hungary which is currently openly sabotaging UA.<\/p>\n<p>A prolonged war is in Russia\u2019s interest, we laugh heartily at how badly the Russian army is doing but Ukraine is 50% destroyed and the population displaced from their homes or murdered \u2013 they will not survive many months without Western support.<\/p>\n<p>Things are happening all the time and UA has built up its own reconnaissance capability which is sky-high above Russia\u2019s and has, as is known, secured a lot of dumb ammunition which they turn against their former owner but Russia has its enormous stockpiles and possibly a willingness to mobilize again. Russia \u201cdemilitarized\u201d Ukraine for many years in preparation for this war, let us remember\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The Russians are now preparing deep defensive positions in all occupied areas, and you don\u2019t have to be related to Patton through a temporary secretary who liked champagne a little too much to understand that they intend to hold on where they can now.<\/p>\n<p>Russia handles a low-intensity war perfectly well; it\u2019s the rapid maneuvers they cannot counter. The biggest risk is that UA loses momentum, and when we assessed that UA had offensive capacity this spring while many brigades were in the rear, it is the opposite now \u2013 all brigades are at active fronts, and units are being pulled from the northern front towards Belarus to be sent to the eastern front. If UA loses speed now, there is reason to worry \u2013 but we haven\u2019t seen that yet.<\/p>\n<p>For me, this is incredibly simple \u2013 supply Ukraine with capable offensive weapons, and Russia will be thrown out of Ukraine quite soon. The EU\u2019s other border with Russia is already reinforced, and if UA over time gets an air defense system that can shoot down everything, the missile threat is also eliminated. Ukraine is actually the guarantor of peace in our time, and the EU is currently either bungling it or at least not taking it as seriously as they should.<\/p>\n<p>A country like the Netherlands or Belgium can sleep peacefully even if they send every tank and armored vehicle to UA, as they are embedded behind thick layers of defense.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"import-comment import-comment-level-1\">\n<h3>12:59<\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t know how it looks with houses versus people in need of housing, but you can always set up huge barracks camps with power supply and heating over the winter?<\/p>\n<p>Then you run healthcare, school, food, and showers, etc., so some kind of standard is maintained.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it\u2019s easier than trying to restore power supply in every little village and driving around aid; you centralize it in large camps that are then closed when it gets warm and citizens move home?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"import-comment import-comment-level-0\">\n<h2>14:27<\/h2>\n<p>Erik14 was of course first with this, but when Ukrinform headlines that Slovakia has contributed one (1) tracked howitzer, the argument defending the guys who steal all the dip at the party that \u201ca bunch of Archers wouldn\u2019t have made a difference anyway\u201d falls apart.<br \/>\nThey would have made the Bayraktar song, but for Archer it\u2019s probably a low probability \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"import-comment import-comment-level-1\">\n<h3>14:28<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukrinform.net\/rubric-ato\/3617178-slovakia-sends-one-more-zuzana-2-howitzer-to-ukraine.html\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\">https:\/\/www.ukrinform.net\/rubric-ato\/3617178-slovakia-sends-one-more-zuzana-2-howitzer-to-ukraine.html<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"import-comment import-comment-level-1\">\n<h3>14:42<\/h3>\n<p>Their previous wish list was \u2013 Archer, CV90, Gripen, and then they are desperate for armor.<\/p>\n<p>They voluntarily revised that wish list to \u2013 250 million SEK to the World Food Programme, porridge jacket, Trangia stove, and air defense?<\/p>\n<p>My first broken campaign promise was when I was studying at university and the Social Democrats promised to double the study grant so they got my vote.
