Combat Vets from Ukraine Explain Drone Warfare, Trench Warfare and More
In today's video 2 Veterans of the Ukraine War share their valuable first hand experience of the war. The Ukraine was has developed rapidly and in many ways ...

Found this really interesting. Interview with a British and American fighting in Ukraine, talking about how the combat and what their kit looks like.
A Russian source I read quoted ~16k Russian KIA and ~5-7k Ukrainian. https://twitter.com/wartranslated/status/1759508960355262755

I don't understand why the EU/UK aren't doing more... Pathetic response from Europe tbh, we should be going all out but we're seemingly back seat driving while blaming the US

It's well overdue for NATO to roll into Ukraine on a friendly 'good will visit.' Then start moving towards the front line, just to see what happens...
It's all about UK government priorities. For example £140M (or whatever the total is now really up to) was clearly far better spent on their bonkers Rwanda scheme than on supplying some essential munitions to Ukraine.
It would make things interesting, Speaking to my Polish friends they are itching for fight with Russia.
Not really, the dodgy PPE schemes sat in fat peoples bank accounts more so.

From a UK perspective. We dont have the kit or ammunition to give, we can barely equip ourselves. We also have obligations to hold certain stock levels. Any aid packages will be new off the shelf stuff that sadly due to the commercial nature of our defence industry, isnt scaled for surge production in the numbers required to sustain Ukraine in the short term. In the long term It would require large scale investment in infrastructure/production lines that have no guarantees of long term sustained use. No defence manufacturer is going to invest without long term contracts in place.
Write to your MP, encourage others to do the same.

sounds like a fantastic idea.. what could possibly go wrong?
Will you be the first person in?
Did you miss the use of "For example" in my post, or do you think that money was better spent in Rwanda than on (say) buying artillery shells for Ukraine?
I would like to see all the NATO nations to make a small national investment into basic munitions production and stores.
We don’t need massive investment in production facilities run at massive private profits. The Royal engineers are more than capable of building the facilities, we already have the land and the capability to run the operation.
wait, you mean actually benefitting the general populace and not sucking up resources to redistribute upwards to the oligarchs of western society!? blasphemy i say!

Dont get me started...
Not to the fault of their own. The RE were fully onboard but we couldnt even get them to build a BBQ area on camp. The Engineers straight up wernt allowed to, breach of contract. There are pretty iron clad contracts in place for Facilities management within the UK which includes building and infrastructure works. Its a joke. I'm no expert on these matters and there may be exceptions. However, I very much believe there would be some clause in current regulations that would say that contracts would need to go out to tender for the creation of these facilities at great cost to the tax payer. At the end it would be over budget, over time, and produce half of what the initial plans stated it would...
Only time I've seen RE do actual building work is overseas in operational setting.

I don't have a single clue.
Not asking for official numbers as clearly never given. But even an estimation from independent western press would be interesting.
Why would you encourage people to read russian propaganda?
I'm beginning to think you are struggling a bit with life.
Or you're just a hypocrite down in Australia happy for other people to die to satisfy your own peverse pleasures.

Honestly it's about all you/we can do.
I hope all you guys are once a week inbox spamming your MP. Or even knocking at their office for a meeting.
It's pathetic/useless but it's actually got more effect than circle jerking here all day.
More people need to be assertive and get involved in political things.
Plus you got an election year. Start working out how to survive under a labour landslide.
