Stand and Fight …. No one gets out of this World alive

The tank assault today was stunning to watch. Not in a good way. I felt for both combatants and hoped it might lead to ending this insanity.
 
Apparently, a third Russian General Officer fell today, yesterday the Colonel commanding that armored regiment. Ukraine has developed a highly motivated and effective national defense. Raising concerns about the level of Russian frustration and desperation. Nothing is going according to plan so they are resorting to barbarism. Very tough to watch.
 
According to reports Bennett the Prime Minister of Israel acting as a "mediator" has told Zallenskyy to accept Putin's offer and just surrender. This would prevent more loss of life in Ukraine. If only Israel had taken this advice in 1948, 1967, 1973, 2000 and 2006 we could have peace in the Middle East. Where are Ben-Gurion, Dayan, Golda Meir and Netanyahu when needed?

I was going to post the article when the invasion first started but did not

The article listed those countries not condemning Russia those countries that would find it hard to condemn Russia.

Near the top of the list of those countries was Israel.

ED, I usually bow not only to your rhetorical skills, but also to your breath and depth of knowledge. I do have to correct you. Kaliningrad is considered a semi-exclave because it is not totally surrounded by foreign territory.

It might also be a good time to introduce the geo-political feature Suwalki Gap.

Which "reports" are you referring to? I've read articles that indicate both Ukraine and Israel are denying the story.
 
Early reports in a lot of sources some good some bad. Reuters: Israel and Ukraine now denying.
 
  • Russia issues warning to US that it would fire on weapon shipments to Ukraine, raising the risk of direct confrontation between Moscow and a NATO country.

I don't think I'd call that a direct confrontation. Putin will hit them after they have entered Ukraine and I am sure there will be no Nato personnel in those convoys (even if there are).

Anything in Ukraine is subject to attack. Nothing new in this.
 
Yeah, it was a huge joke, almost as if we wanted Russia to invade. Our deterrence was a total failure, both military and non-military means. No one takes us seriously anymore

Best thing to happen is that Europe is finally getting serious about national defense. Japan's response has also been most impressive and they are quickly proving themselves to be one of our most reliable allies.
