Was listening to this earlier
Except the first thing this twit did was aim for Kiev.It’s like 1940 when the Nazis stopped bombing aerodromes and bomb cities.
Never knew ordinance had a use by date.A neighbour of mine was railing about the cost of the anti tank missiles etc being sent to Ukraine. When i pointed out that all that ordnance has a use by date after which it has to be destroyed anyway, Ukraine is saving us the cost of normal disposal. Some poor buggers on the recieving end of all of it no matter who pulls the trigger.
As far as Belarus goes lukashenko has kept out so far as he has had far greater oposition to his regime & the war at home, he knows he is likely to lose at home if he attacks Ukraine.
If does beg the question why.Never knew ordinance had a use by date.

I hope not, if ukraine is defeated who is next on the list?There are other dangers here too. Not least that the public, British and American, will get jaded with the drain of resources over time.
The UK has spent approaching £2.5 Billion on the war so far, and is about to do the same next year.
This is all very well for a bit, but when the lights go out and when people start loosing their homes because the country is supposedly skint, I think we will see a turning of opinion.
like medication, although it breaks down into non-harmful but less effective compounds.Never knew ordinance had a use by date.

^^^ Absolutely correct, It is exactly the same with pyrotechnics such as flares, A use by date after which they may work or they may not work well or not at all, As they get older propellant charges may degrade & other components become more more less sensitive. They cost a fortune to dispose of.Its probably due to the propellants/warheads degrading over time and potentially becoming more dangerous to the operator than the target.
The Iranian Shahed 'drones' are little better than WW2 doodlebugs.Something @Keith 66 mentioned above though is really relevant, Russia are firing a lot of and more incresingly dated tech. A lot of their Nukes are well past their sell by date, they are even rolling out WW2 stuff in places.
Winter and attrition is not going to be on their side despite the fact they believe it is.
Now that would be asking for trouble. Bad enough when they target infrastructure which Russia thinks is Russia.It’s interesting that there has been no form of organised resistance/retaliation targeting Russian infrastructure inside Russia.
Interesting wouldn't be the words I would use. Everyone should be looking to find a resolution. What you suggested would trigger and all out warIt’s interesting that there has been no form of organised resistance/retaliation targeting Russian infrastructure inside Russia.
He must think that the few million Ukrainians living in Russia don’t mind, don’t care or actually support him.
