It is interesting how such professional writer, like this one, fail to mention any USA/Western AEW&C and similar systems that works for Ukrainians.

Use of this USA systems greatly compensate for “guerrilla tactics” of Ukrainian IADS EMCON mode.

This is the war between USA and Russia so please do not try to play this down. War that will drag whole Europe into the conflict!

Ну вот пусть тогда Раша свои ракеты отправляет на "настоящего врага"... А нет... Кишка тонка

Sure, but the extend of informations shared (and latency) is not that clear. Especially because of constant fear of “escalation” in the west.

But the war is uppon us in Europe/West, whether you want it or not. There is now way going back now, major war is unleashing in the east with stakes high - survival of independent Ukraine (and sort of functional international rules) and survival of Kremlin cleptocracy (and their return to big powers influencing/controlling former Soviet areas in central/eastern).

You will have to take side...

Can you provide details on what exactly and how much of E-3-collected intel is NATO sharing with Ukraine in real time?

Mind: I do not know. And I'm not going to say I do. So, before I start guessing, I'll not talk about it.

And re. 'war between USA and Russia': oh, but sure. So, WTF is it fought in Ukraine? Why not in Chukotsk and the Bering Sea?

War will be fought across entire Europe... beyond Chukotsk and the Bering Sea.

Aha. You've got a crystal ball, too?

For one to see what is coming does not need a crystal ball, just a clear mind.

Expand full comment

Yup. And the author here has no clear mind, as you've already concluded correctly. So, please, be so kind, do both of us a favour: go and waste somebody else's time with your conspiracy theories.

Agreed with Tom!

See you Tom on front line. You will be probably in fifth wave of mobilisation because of your age.

Eh, ukrainian here. It's not completely impossible to this war to expand, it may happens easily in 3-5 years, if few "ifs" becomes true. I'll just leave some here, from most realistic to less realistic.

The most major "if" is if Trump wins US elections, then this war easily will expand. He claimed multiple times that he wants US to go out from NATO and overall have very isolationist views. Without US, other NATO countries can't really fight against russia even in russia current state. It's just matter of 3-6 months for russia to mobilise another 200-300k russians, take out some old ass tanks from stocks and attack Baltic countries.

Another "if" is the same, Trump wins and goes on second term, don't go out of NATO, but sabotaging article 5 when russia attacks Baltic countries. Thing is, article 5 is not an obligation to send troops. Any help that seems necessary is fulfilling article 5, so he may just send some first aid kits and pretend that it's all what US can do, with some dumb excuses like "uh oh China" or "mexicans".

Another "if", is if western leaders keep their politics of keeping their heads deep in ass and not ramp up own production and won't arm up Ukraine to the teeth in upcoming 2024, Ukraine can lose this war. We will just run out of people who can fight, and upcoming changes in mobilisation laws shows that we already need more soldiers than we currently have now. Not immideatly, maybe not in 2024, but eventually Ukraine will lose if western help continues to be so low. And in few years there will be war russia vs NATO, but now russia will have ukrainian modern warfare experience, brainwashed and mobilised ukrainians, some western weapons and reverse engineering of how to produce it/destroy it. On top of that political crisis in the West, immigration crisis over Europe, food crisis over Africa, etc. Completely sh*tshow.

Another "if" is if russia won't lose this war in next 3-5 years, no really "deadly" sanctions would be implemented, and overall western response to this kind of war continues to be so weak, China may attack Taiwan. And China - Taiwan war will be result of still ongoing russia - Ukraine war, because another dictator will see that there won't be any real consequences for him. So technically it's expansion too.

Another "if" is if previous two "ifs" becomes true, North Korea can attack South Korea. It's more unrealistic than previous "ifs", but there is still chance of it.

Or another "if" is if in 3-5 years russia still won't lose, some countries like South Korea and Japan may consider to arm themselves with domestic nukes, which will be opening of Pandora's box with literally every country in the world doing the same. At this point the real sh*t will hit the fan with everyone declaring war to everyone by any reason. At least South Korea is already talking about domestic nukes.

Keep in mind it's all just imaginary scenarious of what can happen and potentially expand this war. Lets call it "worst cases" of what can happen. But if you want something more realistic and what already happened - on yesterday's russian strike, one russian missile break Poland's airspace. For the third time during this full-scale war. This time Polish officials said it went into Poland airspace on 40km deep, then disappeared, probably went back to Ukraine. 500 polish soldiers were looking for it, but didn't find it. If it's true, good for Poland. If polish officials lie, then it's signal to russia that technically they can use Poland airspace for up to 40kms deep. Either way, it's already expansion of war.

We appreciate the entertainment. Keep it of high quality and low dosage for the optimal effect.

Echwin, you should read the tales of humpty dumpty and leave commenting about military matters. People who were dropped on their heads in their infancy and never recovered reason like you.

This is not a war. Nobody has declared war, so not sure what you are talking about here.

Just day 69X of a "3-day Special Military Operation". Nothing to see. Move on.

Well, I now declare war to you. Is it war?

Expand full comment

I know its a war. Vic Orban, and other proRZ believe there is no war because nobody declare a war.

Expand full comment

Orban also knows that it is war, but he wants to blackmail EU and to get money not only from putler but from Brussels also. The same with the other putler-fans.

The most stupid comment I've seen this month 💩

you may be right, hopefully this time the west is wiser than 1938 and doesn't appease the terrorist.

I didn't know Russia bombing Ukrainian maternity wards means they're fighting the USA.

This is a war between Ukraine and Russia, so please do not try to play on the side of Russian propagandists. A war that will drag all of Europe into conflict if the latter does not wake up!
