Re: Russia Invades
Not sure what the feeling in the UK is.
Ukraine hasn't been a lead story on the Australian news for months now. I'm sure that, the "Man on the street" is far less inclined to having his tax Dollar spent on support for Ukraine than he was three months ago.

It's been the muddy season, both sides would struggle to move. The only engagement, bar Bakhmut, is long range Russian missiles.
Ukraine have also been using the time to stockpile all the new toys, and get their men trained to use them.
The big counter offensive is about to start, but I'd rather they stopped talking about it. Secrecy is the best chance of success, also the first 24 hours. IF they can break the lines, they could quickly be rolling the battle lines back a 100km.
When there is news, people will be wanting to know, and I can't see anything dampening the support of the British, or Australian commitment

Re: Russia Invades
I think most people get that spending their tax dollars now (I disagree with that as well, but its hard to put it down on why that is so I'll leave it) might mean that we won't have to spend them in the future on increased defence spendingshanghaiclaret wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 3:59 amNot sure what the feeling in the UK is.

Personally I think with the way the world is changing that we are going to have to spend more on defence, but that is something that not everyone agrees with, or has such a pessimistic view of the future

Re: Russia Invades
Interestingly, Australia has probably the aircraft in reserve that would help Ukraine (F-18 Hornets)
Course, they have given 155mm artillery, and quite a few of various types of APCs
In other news, the South Africans (who according to the pro-Russian trolls are amongst Russia's biggest supporters) have apparently told Putin not to come to SA for the Brics summit, as they'd have to arrest him if he lands
I'm pretty sure that their support will remain vocal but not in any actual meaningful way

I've certainly seen stuff on joint naval exercises with Indonesia, and I was reading something yesterday that Australian SSNs (when they are built) will be allowed to use Singapore (US ones are already allowed to use it)
The US is certainly beefing up its diplomacy in the region as well, and its helped by genuine worries from any country that borders China
You aren't at Cold War levels of US support yet (no huge naval base/air bases) and Guam is still the nearest "big" US base but you do wonder how much longer that will continue
Bit off topic though!

In what can best be described as "not a shock", it turns out that Russian ships with the equipment to blow up underwater pipelines were around the Nord stream 2 when they exploded

You would be surprised how many US military personnel are based in Australia.
I would be expecting support from the four US airbases in the Phillipines before Guam.
Australia conducts joint exercises regularly with all of our Western orientated neighbours.
Ukraine has been a great opportunity for everyone to re-evaluate their military options.
I believe that the Aussies are heading in the right direction.We are spending big time in: submarines, missiles and cyberspace.

Its another scenario (like Ukraine) where the WWII experience, operational and strategic issues are essentially the same
Thing is, the Chinese are building a navy to challenge the US
I'm sceptical that they are ever going to be able to match USN carrier experience and know how, but they can certainly cause issues for the smaller nations
And as you have mentioned, the Aussies are not the only country who are suddenly realising that they have to take care of their own defence as well as having strong alliances with the US
Might catch on over here!

Re: Russia Invades
The Japanese have woken up ftom theur slumber and commited to massive spending over the next decade on their military.
The Chinese have a numerical advantage over the US navy already.
In terms of technology they are way behind in terms of aircraft, carrier and submarine technology.
I am very concerned that those US carriers groups would be totally overwhelmed with swarms of drones, missiles and planes.
My personal thoughts are that China needs to be striking in the very near future. Their window of opportunity will close in a couple of years.
As my username suggests, I have spent a fair bit of time in China. I'm married to one of them. I think that I have a little bit of inside on what is happening.

They wanted (and believed) that Western Europe would freeze without their gas
Plus they know there are plenty of people in the West more than happy to believe that it was some sort of NATO operation to hurt Russia
I would suggest that like their plans for the invasion of Ukraine, the reality is what they thought they had (Western Europe being unable to survive without Russian gas) turned out to not be the case
That first winter was key as well, the systems put in place by the West (more renewables, more imports of gas from US/Middle East) means that it won't be possible to do this next winter (though a long, harsh winter might cause issues)

Re: Russia Invades
If I recall at the time no gas was being transported by these pipes so all the damage would do was prevent the Germans/Europeans from arranging with Russia to turn them on again.
In other words, there was now less chance of Europeans coming to some gas arrangement with Russia (under pressure from citizens struggling in a cold winter) so therefore less likelihood of Europe weakening their position regarding supporting Ukraine.
To me, if the Russians did it, it looks like an own goal, especially as the Norwegian pipelines already exist and a new one to Poland was opened at that time.
Of course it might have been a way of warning the Europeans that they can attack any pipeline, but surely if the did this to a Norwegian-Polish pipe that becomes an act of war and takes things to another level, if we respond appropriately,

Motive wise, you have the Russians or the Ukrainians (or if you are a believer of conspiracy theories, some sort of NATO shadow group operating outside of the chain of command)
Ukraine have the motive (well, sort of) but they don't have the expertise to do it or the equipment to do it
Russia has the motive, the equipment, the know how, and have been surveying and mapping EU/NATO undersea structures for at least the past three years
Now we have the Russian ships that are equipped with this sort of tech in the right area at the right time
The evidence does rather suggest that the Russians did it

This is very good
The shot of the two blokes on top of the Kremlin is from the 2nd drone, and its perfectly possible that they were up there looking to see if there was any damage from the 1st drone
Point being made is that there is no way that two drones should have been able to penetrate Moscows air defences, and its pretty embarrassing if its not a false flag
