Ukraine War Thread Part 2
Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
Whilst there is some debate as to the truth if the FT article which reported that the US had asked Ukraine to stop attacks on Russian oil refineries, the response seems clear..
After a short pause, drone strikes on Russian oil refineries have resumed.
Kuybyshevsky oil refinery in Samara region of Russia, 900km from the frontline, is on fire as a result of drone strikes. Russian media claim that “columns are on fire”.
Kuibyshev Oil Refinery is one of the largest enterprises in the oil industry in the Samara region. The refinery's design capacity is 7 million tons of oil per year.
The range of products produced by the Kuibyshev Refinery includes more than 20 types of petroleum products. The main ones: gasoline, diesel fuel.
P.S: Kuybyshevsky and Novouybyshevsky oil refineries are located just ~10km apart therefore, at first there was confusion about which refinery was hit.

The Kremlin has now officially stated that Russia is at war, The statement is not only against Ukraine but "the West" and also they are referring to mobilization.
does this imply that the conflict could quickly spread OUTSIDE Ukraine’s borders and if so should NATO be making MORE preparations?

Given the slow progress and high cost of the SMO, is it likely Russia would want, or be able, to broaden the conflict?

only if they start to LOSE the war as a result of NATO superior weapons given to Ukraine?

A third of a million to be mobilised by June? (as per the recent supposed correspondence from Shoigu)
Yeah, right - training, equipment, barracks, weapons, transport, food - it`s sideline popcorn time.
Maybe all notified of a mobilisation requirement by June...

So you could say ending their suffering by multiple strikes Ukraine is actually being humane.

This war will drag on until it's inevitable and then the West will up the ante and do what they should have done at the start.
It's called democracy.

Sevastopol under multiple Ukrainian missile attack tonight.
Some sources claiming at-least two SCALP-EG/Storm Shadow cruise missiles launched by a Su-24M/MR hit a high value Russian Navy target(s).

The fact Russia launched such a massive attack against Ukraine the other night in my opinion simply re-emphasised that the strikes on their oil capabilities was winning.
The USA needs to be told we will cease attacking the oil facilities as soon as you start providing the weaponry requested in amounts required to defeat Russia in a short timeframe and until you do that we will carry out whatever we deem necessary to survive.

BTW, it's also being reported that the US warned the Kremlin a couple weeks ago that they had solid intelligence that "religious fundamentalists" were planning a big terror attack in Russia and Putin blew it off as scaremongering from the west

Latest claims are that the Ukrainian cruise missiles were targeting the Russian Black Sea Fleet (Sevastopol) communications centre.

Just think what it must have taken if that was actually the case

I've said it here many times, but it's entirely possible that Chamberlain knew exactly what he was doing and sacrificed his career and reputation to buy us (just enough) time to rearm. You can make up your own mind about that, but we certainly weren't ready to fight Hitler in September 1938 ... we were barely able to do it a year later
Just think what it must have taken if that was actually the case

This provides a rather different perspective on Chamberlain, showing him as a vain, credulous, naive, weak, arrogant and self-serving PM who, with his over-promoted civil servant sidekick Horace Wilson, ignored his cabinet and bypassed the Foreign Office to pursue a disastrous policy for his own personal glory.
