Russia has an economy the size of that of South Korea. China has crunched the numbers, which would not have taken very long, and concluded that they want to keep doing business with the West rather than back an unstable and economically weakened Russia which is losing this war. It's a no brainer for them but we should not imagine that their calculations are based on anything else but self-interest.
They are not our friends.
A large group of Russian invaders on the outskirts of Kyiv are moving along the road, when suddenly from behind a small hill they hear a voice shout: "One Ukrainian soldier is better than 10 Russians!"
The Russian commander orders a halt and his 10 best soldiers to go over the hill; a shooting begins, it lasts for a few minutes and stops.
Again a voice: "One Ukrainian soldier is better than 100 Russians!" The Russian commander then sends 100 of his best soldiers. Shooting again, screams, ten minutes later silence.
The quiet Ukrainian shouts again: "One Ukrainian is better than 1,000 Russian soldiers!" The Russian commander sends 1,000 of his fighters over the hill.
The sounds of fighting, grenades, shots are heard. More screams - Silence.
Suddenly, one seriously wounded Russian soldier crawls over the hill and the dying man begs his commander:
"Don't send anyone over there. It's a trap. There are two of them ..."
Ha ha!
If only though.
It happening Zen, Ukraine will forever deserve our admiration, thanks and support. In effect the West is now at war with Russia, but only Ukraine is bleeding and suffering horrendously.
Ukraine is the tip of a spear consisting of the full weight and manufacturing capacity of the combined $46 trillion economy of the Western bloc. One way or another, this ill-judged adventure by Putin is going to bring him down, and in the process destroy Russia as a significant actor in world affairs.
In addition, Ukraine has probably saved Taiwan too. Putin has been Xi’s useful patsy; the Chinese have now discovered, at no cost to themselves whatsoever, exactly what price they would pay for invading Taiwan.
The whole free world will owe them a debt that can never be repaid.
"An icy wind biting at their trembling hands, a makeshift platoon of the 192nd Territorial Defence Brigade crept through the trees of Kherson’s Lilac Park. Armed only with petrol bombs, they waited for the Russian troops entering their city.
It was over in a matter of minutes. Each of the 16 men died where they stood, buckled over behind trees, bombs unused, overwhelmed by the invaders’ firepower late last month. By March 1, Russian troops were in command of the city. More than two weeks later, however, it remains the only big population centre they have been able to occupy.
Militarily, the sacrifice at Lilac Park achieved nothing. But it has come to symbolise the defiance of a city proving daily to Russian forces how futile further occupations are likely to be. The past fortnight’s events have revealed President Putin’s blueprint for control of Ukraine, and how the city’s inhabitants have torn it apart.
“They occupied the TV station and Russian channels started appearing all over the region,” Yelena Plachynda, a Kherson resident, told The Times. “So we all started to get our information from the internet. After eight years our people understand well what happened to people in occupied Donbas and Crimea, and we don’t want that.”
When Russian trucks brought food and water in an effort to win hearts and minds, Kherson residents refused to accept them. A humanitarian relief event had to be staged with actors, locals said, for the benefit of a Moscow television crew. “We don’t need their food, their protection, we can take care of ourselves,” Plachynda said.
Russian forces then tried to install a local pro-Kremlin regional authority, similar to those in the Donetsk and Luhansk “people’s republics”. Again their efforts were thwarted.
“The Russians called in deputies of the Kherson regional council and tried to force them to collaborate,” another resident, Serhiy Rodionov, 45, said. “Instead the council convened an urgent meeting via the internet and stated publicly that they would not agree to a Kherson people’s republic.”
So the occupying forces tried a different tack.
“They brought to the Kherson regional administration five traitors, pro-Russian deputies and collaborators, who announced that they had formed the Committee of Salvation for Peace and Order,” Rodionov said. “The committee immediately said they were in favour of co-operating with Russia.”
The new committee has had little local support. A recruitment drive for a police force to replace the one that withdrew with the Ukrainian military, has failed. Inhabitants of Kherson and the surrounding villages hold daily protests against the occupation, facing off against heavily armed soldiers. Protesters said that they know their city is being used for propaganda, so they wrap themselves in the Ukrainian flag and take to the streets to show the truth.
Resistance comes at a cost, however. Russian units see the civilian population as the enemy, firing on any vehicles they consider suspicious. In Tavriisk, on the outskirts of Kherson, Oleg Fedko was on the phone to his mother as she tried to leave the city with her husband, two small grandchildren and her daughter in-in-law. Fedko told local news outlets that he heard his mother screaming and his one month-old niece crying, then the rattle of gunfire. All five were killed.
There are daily raids. Russian boots batter down doors of flats suspected to house survivors of the Territorial Defence or agents of Ukraine’s state security service, the SBU. These underground resistance fighters have helped Ukrainian forces to inflict heavy casualties on the occupying forces by providing them with target information.
“We have very busy days. We’re doing everything except murder and sabotage,” one resistance fighter in his twenties said. “There are curfews in the city from 8pm and Russian patrols, so we can’t move freely. We have no weapons, our battle is to stay alive, to stay out of sight.”
As in Russia, critical voices are also targets. Oleh Baturin, a journalist in Kakhova, and Serhiy Tsygipa, an activist in Nova Kakova, were abducted by Russian forces on March 12, according to the Institute for Mass Information, a Ukrainian NGO. They have not been seen or heard from since.
Kherson’s legitimate local authorities have managed to keep the city going, maintaining power, heating and even the internet. Children stay home for safety, but take classes online.
However, cut off from the rest of the country, the city is beginning to run out of food. Supermarket shelves are empty and people queue for hours to buy bread. The Russians, too, are going hungry. Bemused Kherson residents have filmed soldiers chasing chickens and looting convenience stores.
The city’s most urgent need is medical supplies. Residents have set up social media groups to try to help each other find what they need.
“The city council publishes lists of pharmacies where you can buy insulin, but the city lacks other drugs,” Rodionov said. “People simply exchange them with each other.”
Civilians face other risks, too. Russian units have set up sniper positions in strategic locations, guarded by explosives linked to trip wires, easily set off by accident.
Despite the challenges, residents maintain astonishing determination in the face of their occupation. Heartened by the sound of Ukrainian artillery working on Russian defences as forces counter attack from Mykolaiv, they watch Russian convoys blitz through the city, some heading south in the direction of Crimea. They expect the embattled occupiers to leave any day.
“What they are doing is crazy, it makes no sense for them to be here,” Plachynda said, her voice breaking with emotion. “We will never accept them. We know our goals. I want my 13-year-old son to learn many languages, to live a European life. Ukraine was just starting to grow and develop. Now they have killed our beautiful people, destroyed our infrastructure, our roads. And for what?”"
From the times, Charlie Parker
"An elite Ukrainian drone unit has destroyed dozens of “priority targets” by attacking Russian forces as they sleep, The Times can reveal.
Aerorozvidka, a specialist air reconnaissance unit within the army, has been picking off tanks, command trucks and vehicles carrying electronic equipment since the invasion began.
“We strike at night, when Russians sleep,” Yaroslav Honchar, the unit’s battle-hardened commander, said from his base of operations in Kyiv.
Russian forces are static when night falls, he explained, with their fear of Ukrainian shelling forcing them to hide their tanks in villages between houses, knowing that conventional artillery cannot risk hitting civilians.
But immobile convoys are the prime targets of Aerorozvidka, which has 50 squads of expert drone pilots.
Using heavy-duty octocopter drones which are modified to drop anti-tank grenades and to see with thermal cameras, the darkness is their greatest advantage.
“In the night it’s impossible to see our drones,” said an Aerorozvidka soldier, who asked not to be named for security reasons. “We look specifically for the most valuable truck in the convoy and then we hit it precisely and we can do it really well with very low collateral damage — even in the villages it’s possible. You can get much closer at night.”
Their fleet ranges from cheap commercial drones to their most important asset: heavy, custom-built octocopters maintained by in-house engineers.
The R18 model is the jewel of their arsenal, boasting a 4km range, 40-minute flight time and capacity to drop 5kg bombs that obliterate Russian armour. Considered the Ukrainians’ best device for night operations, it can carry out precise reconnaissance and direct artillery fire and drop explosives on tanks and electronic warfare trucks.
Another drone used by the unit is the PD-1, a reconnaissance device capable of hovering in the air for eight hours.
The teams carry out about 300 missions every day to help to collect information by Aerorozvidka’s advanced Nato-supported intelligence system, Delta, which identifies high-priority targets for their limited supply of bombs. Co-ordinates are given to the kill squads who take to the skies at night.
As well as utilising public communications channels where hundreds of civilian drone fliers have mobilised to push back President Putin’s forces, Aerorozvidka relies on a secure Starlink satellite system donated to them by Elon Musk. The unit was created by model plane enthusiasts in 2014 but since the success of its operations against Russian forces in Crimea it has been integrated into the Ukrainian general staff.
Many devices return to Aerorozvidka’s base battle-scarred from Russian rifles and the unit is in urgent need of parts, especially night vision and thermal cameras.
Over the past fortnight supporters from across Europe have been sending drone parts and other equipment, including 3D printers that can be used to build explosive devices and repair damaged devices.
British citizens have responded to the call and are in the process of creating a direct supply stream to Ukraine.
Drone specialists have built a Nato-standard intelligence system capable of monitoring the movements of Russians and co-ordinating precise air attacks against their positions (Charlie Parker writes).
Delta, created by the Ukrainian air reconnaissance unit Aerorozvidka, pulls together information from satellites, sensors on the battlefield, drone reconnaissance, radio interceptions and interviews with people in occupied territory.
It allows on-screen tracking of military movement in the conflict zone, showing data on an interactive map that military leaders can use for “situational awareness” and planning. Leaders of the unit have been using the system to co-ordinate bombing runs with drones against Russian targets, including tank convoys.
“We have an in-house team of military software developers who follow a Nato standard to develop our situational awareness system,” an Aerorozvidka leader told The Times. He added: “Based on the information we task our 50 teams in the field to either hit the targets identified or provide additional reconnaissance to some special parameters. Or to provide artillery with their eyes — they do the co-ordination of artillery fire.”
Because of power cuts and internet connection problems in parts of Ukraine as a result of Russian attacks, Aerorozvidka has turned to alternative methods.
Its most sophisticated drones are connected using Starlink, a system donated by Elon Musk that uses satellites in a low orbit to enable “high data rate” activities. “We use Starlink equipment and connect the drone team with our artillery team,” the officer said.
“If we use a drone with thermal vision at night, the drone must connect through Starlink to the artillery guy and create target acquisition.”
Delta proved so successful against Russia in Crimea that Ukrainian officers have been trained by Nato to use it alongside western-style battlefield command and control techniques. The system is helping to transform how units detect and respond to changes on the battlefield."

My favourite from CEO of Kraken regarding the calls on Twitter to suspend Russian crypto accounts (and this is not an uncommon opinon - bear in mind also no French companies have pulled out of Russia and are going gangbusters too):
"Besides, if we were going to voluntarily freeze financial accounts of residents of countries unjustly attacking and provoking violence around the world, step 1 would be to freeze all US accounts. As a practical matter, that's not really a viable business option for us."

Intended, unintended and often unexpected consequences of sanctions / economic warfare.
Inflation, famine, end of US dollar dominance etc. Be careful what you wish for world leaders - there will be blow back.
Plus how Biden could stop the war in 48 hours if he wanted.
Yep, been onto this on 'interesting stuff' thread.
Russia now pricing gas in Rubles from 'unfriendly' places...
Interesting the no NATO, no EU, neutral is exactly the outcome Russia wants - I think Rickards is suggesting appeasement.
A decade ago neutrality would have been the best path to pursue for the Ukraine and strategic balance in Europe ( peace). It was never pursued by the US or NATO and so here we are.
Ukraine was a pawn in a big game but has become a sacrifical pawn through the choice of great powers pushing for check mate. It could have been a blocking pawn - a goal of stalemate.
Neutrality is still long term the most stable and balanced outcome so should not be off the table. It is just now so much more complex than it could have been.
Finland took this path a long time ago. Was that appeasement or sensible stable geopolitical strategy? Buffer states / zones between great powers work.
If Russia collapses (check mate), we don't necessarily get a happy stable west leaning country in its place. A likely outcome could be a chaotic failed state of warring feudal style warlords all armed with nuclear weapons.
Global chess on a frightening scale. Will bojo, Biden, putin etc make the right moves? Do they understand the game? Are they competent?
Finland took that path but they had to do this first:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War
So in that sense there was no appeasement offered, they just fought Russia..
" Despite superior military strength, especially in tanks and aircraft, the Soviet Union suffered severe losses and initially made little headway." Hmmm.
"The Soviets made several demands, including that Finland cede substantial border territories in exchange for land elsewhere, claiming security reasons—primarily the protection of Leningrad, 32 km (20 mi) from the Finnish border. When Finland refused, the Soviets invaded. Most sources conclude that the Soviet Union had intended to conquer all of Finland..."
doesn't history rhyme?
then this followed:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuation_War
I don't disagree that 10 years ago neutral Ukraine would have been best, but here we are.

It’s a revised goal. Putin went for broke, so he’s backpedaled to revise those goals to what’s ‘achievable’, what he thinks is ‘acceptable’ to the Ukrainians / West / UN, and what’s ‘sellable’ to the Russian people as a victory.
On the issues of Russian losses, they’re significant. It’s not just old stuff. Plenty of new kit in there, both destroyed and captured. Their personnel losses have included big hits on some of their ‘elite’ units. They’ve also exhausted their ‘discretionary’ stocks of precision guided weapons significantly. They will struggle to replace them under current sanctions regimes.
Biden’s comments on Putin not remaining in power were unscripted, unnecessary and I think dangerous in that they play into Putin’s internally-focused narrative. Would have been best to leave that unsaid.

I for the life of me cant understand what the uproar is all about what Biden said
about that lunatic Putin. Putin started this invasion for no reason declared war
on Ukraine targeting the innocent civilians sending missiles into hospitals schools
housing and slaughtering the innocent with invading troops and in this stupid idiotic
political correct bullshit world which is enforced upon us dickheads say hes gone too far
. Fuck right off you imbeciles. Next thing you nutters will say America started all this
and should help Ukraine with troops but theyre not permitted to have weapons.
For fuck sake wake up.
well evo, it's an issue because biden has just given putin justification to do exactly what he is doing...
no matter how you see the game of war playing out, and who started what... putin's reason and justification for war is the US is coming after him and russia's sovereignty
if you want biden's abject incompetence to fuel putin's propaganda and justifications... well good for you...
most people agree it is a strategic blunder of the highest proportions
it also backs putin into a corner and fuels his paranoia
ideally you want an off ramp for putin's paranoid delusions, an easy way out to stop the killing and put everyone back in their corners... biden's blunder has just backed putin into a corner where he is much much more likely to use nuclesr weapons and/or whatever other nuttery he has up his sleeve...
not ideal
a mammoth fuck up for biden, the sort of legendary dumbass communications that are lamented for eternity in the history books...

Bring back trump then and a dont understand what a provoked PROXY war is and
why no matter what happens anywhere in the world USA seem to be catalyst? Is it
because theyre the only nation that actually stands for democracy and every other

Not to mention that some of these countries virtually had no defense mechanisms or allocated budget for building any capability. They are more than happy to freeload on the US military in case anything goes wrong. Trump is a total sociopath and I cannot stand him but he was right about this. He always complained about the US defense budget effectively subsidising other countries.
