“The foundation worldview principles of the Azovian units are Ukrainian-centrism, traditionalism, hierarchy and responsibility. After passing a difficult selection, only highly motivated and strong-spirited fighters, ready for constant improvement and tough battles with the enemy on the front line, enter our ranks.”"the acclaimed Ukrainian 3rd Separate Assault Brigade"

No mention of Nazi adulation at all. Maybe that’s part of traditionalism?

It’s worrying to see the prime minister cheerleading for war. Will Ukraine turn into Starmer’s Iraq? | Simon Jenkins
The Nato summit offered a chance to work towards resolution. But instead, Starmer talked about long-range missiles, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

Contrary to the claims of the various bullshitters on this thread, looks like the Ukranians are not losing ground every day etc as predicted.
Good little mini documentary from the past month about the Russian Kharkiv offensive, which has at best stalled. No annoying voice overs or gore or dehumanising of the Russians either.. very human. I liked the comments by the commander about the military constantly evolving.. which is why it's hard to make concrete predictions about what will happen in the coming months and years.

Ukraine has been losing about 4km2 per day on average for the last few months. The Kharkiv offensive by Russia was partly motivated by the aim of tying up Ukrainian resources on a new front so that they’d struggle to resource the fight in the east. To some extent this has worked, but at a huge cost in lives, which doesn’t seem to bother them in the slightest (it’s not boys from Moscow or St Petersburg dying in the mud).

If Simon Jenkins is on your side, you really need to reevaluate your position. The living definition of Old Man Rants at Clouds, and if Starmer were a peacenik he'd be arguing for nuking Russia.A rare ray of sanity

Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday that Russia should be represented at a second peace summit in November, after a first summit convened by the Ukrainian president last month in Switzerland to which Moscow was not invited. Both sides have shunned direct peace talks since negotiations between Russian and Ukraine delegations fell through in the early weeks of Russia’s invasion in February 2022. But during a press conference in Kyiv after his visit to the US for a Nato defence alliance summit, Zelenskiy opened the door to direct talks with officials from Moscow. “I believe that Russian representatives should be at the second summit,” Zelensky said, describing preparations for a follow-up gathering of Ukraine’s allies.

He says this:
He states as fact that had there been no involvement from Nato, things would have ended in a "messy compromise". He then links to that article that describes how the messy compromise in 2014 did not result in Russia just leaving it at that. Instead, 8 years after the messy compromise Russia attempted to take the Ukrainian capital and gain control of the whole nation.
He fails to explain in any detail what he thinks should actually happen now. Just makes a vague statement about the "art of peace-making.

I won't read SJ, even to please you. Maybe if you post some of it as your own thoughts; I'll be happy to engage with you. I view him as the Guardian's own little Daily Mail corner - even refuting it grants it credibility it doesn't deserve.

That, I think, ignores the vast number of refugees that are spread out over Europe.
[We have several families in the area, and I know that most of them want to go home as soon as it is "safe", but with young children, that is an indeterminate time in the future ...]

Nah. To a Russian it's probably just all part of the Venn diagram of homophones involving Clapham, Clapton, Clacton etc. He probably meant Clacton and nobody could object to that being nuked surely?

Looks like the same trajectory as China, South Korea etc. rather than any specifically Ukrainian abyss, would be surprised if the outlook for Russia was significantly different
