They’re not missing anything. The Channel 4 highlights show is actually better than the full coverage on Sky. The production feels funkier and Steve Jones' presenting is watchable and entertaining compared to the bland coverage from Lazenby and co, and F1 these days is a real dirge to watch a full race. Would rather see the best bits condensed into a highlights show. I agree with that, although Coulthard is nowhere near as smart as he thinks he is.

There is. But the intelligence suggested they haven't got the forces built up for it and the western intelligence on this conflict so far has been absolutely spot on. Russia is using less ammo. We know that. There's no evidence of your last sentence though. None at all. Don’t really understand the meaning of a war budget being implemented but there’s calls in the UK for such a thing, can only assume it’s to give more money for arms. According to Twitter Iran and China are supplying deadly aid to Russia, Israel seem on the brink of war with Iran and god knows what the Chinese are thinking, it’s a mad world. On a more positive note NASA have stated there’s a comet heading our way in 2046 Well, at least I now know how long I have to get a one night stand with Liz Hurley.

Fair fucking play to Ukraine if true! Ukraine blew up the Nord Stream pipeline.....maybe. This is far less believable than the original claims that the USA were responsible, it's almost comical......... I too have Ukraine very low on the list of potential candidates, especially as they barely have a navy.

Is Hancock just the thickest bloke alive or am I missing something.. Why would he team up with an anti lockdown journalist and not expect his messages to be leaked.. He's on a different planet the soft .... An incredibly stupid thing to do, especially with someone like Oakeshott - a notorious leaker and backstabber. Not sure what he was expecting from her. I think he was hoping for a shag. I would not be in the least surprised if she flirted with him to get the gig in the first place.

I've not kept up with what China has been saying, I've only seen a few headlines. Is China seriously contemplating assisting Russia? Is it just rhetoric, and it's being used to push the armament agenda? If there's a substantive report on the subject please drop a link. I see zero reasons why China would assist Russia. What's in it for China? It's certainly not going to do its international trade with the western world any good, and it's not economically placed to take the inevitable drop in export sales. US officials' interviews summarised by Forbes, and comments from Stoltenberg by Reuters. Those reports fall firmly into my rhetoric hypothesis. That's not to say they are not true, but they are very easy and convenient things to say.

In Canada, Fox News is not allowed to be classed as a news channel, and is categorised as "entertainment". I have a feeling that CNN also fails to meet the Canada news standard too.

My mum saw that I was gazing at her on the TV, watching 1 Million Years BC, and she told me that her boobs were not real (and therefore men that found her attractive, were being fooled). From that point onwards, I decided not to have a problem with fake tits, or being fooled.

I'm less concerned about equipment than I am about the supply of Ukraine soldiers. If the stories are true about 15-year-old boys being conscripted, then things are looking bleak. Should Putin continue sending Russians into the meat grinder, Russia will win because of its much larger population. If the supply of Ukraine soldiers dries up, NATO will be forced to decide whether to put their boots on the ground, and that's a prospect that should concern everyone. I think if things do not turn decisively in favour of Ukraine soon, then Nato will ramp up access to more powerful weapons. Where did you see that stuff about 15 year olds? I saw similar claims but once again it was only from the Russians and their evidence was a video where iirc the camera accidentally showed a bit out of the window and the open source people showed the outside was a city inside Russia.* I still don't think NATO will put any boots on the ground. That's an actual red line that makes sense to me. *I saw this on telegram channels and I can't find the post now. Partly because they're all written in cyrillic and I can't search for that, but I think I'm remembering the right thing here. I don't know if the story about conscripting boys is true. I hope it's not, but I know it's best to keep an open mind on these things.

Happy Valley finished last night, and for me it's been one of the best TV dramas ever.
Having said that, the final episode was a bit of a let down in terms of tying up the loose ends.
I would have had Tommy set himself on fire at the start of the next episode, and then we could have seen a proper end for the other storylines - prescription drugs/gangland crime/grooming.
The aftermath of Tommy's death would have then rounded off the show.

There is enough armor sitting round in reserve across the globe that would be useful to Ukraine, These tanks, including the Abrams have been in production long enough that even without all the upgrades - they'll eat a T-72/T-90 in their sleep as they all have thermal and great armor, which some Ukrainian tanks still don't have. Yes a few dozen can make a world of difference, especially if used in a "floating reserve" ghost-division attacking Russian breakthrough attempts, general harassment of supply lines etc. But most importantly is the mobile artillery and IFV's that can travel with these tanks, making the sustainment of advances feasible. The handheld missiles, MLRS etc. etc. are critical as well and a main reason that both sides have used tanks in a more cautious manner lately. The Ukraine military is obviously more versatile than I was giving it credit for and the supplying countries seem to be sending ammo with the tanks, so... I'm hoping that my country (US) and other countries continue to see the value in sending reserve tanks over now - stopping Putin now will likely stave off the requirement for all these vehicles somewhere else later, so they'd continue to sit in mothballs otherwise. And yes, it's a "numbers" game now, requiring a favorable kill to losses ratio. (positive goal-difference if you will) I have full confidence in Leopards, Challengers and Abrams' being able to achieve that ratio. As long as Russia continues to fail in air-superiority, mainly due to AA weapons then we don't have to get involved with aircraft, which is a more "sensitive" topic. And long may Russia continue to fail in their deployment of their tanks, I look forward to hearing about Ukrainian tanks going on artillery-killing/capture sprees. (Fingers crossed) The next stage for Ukraine is to now advance forward (weather permitting) at a speed that will overrun the vast fortified Russian lines, speed is the key now. Ukraine seem to have the correct balance of tanks/equipment, or will have to dominate the battlefield hopefully. I can 100% see jet fighters being thrown into equipment being supplied very soon and long range missiles to cut off Russian supply routes hundreds of miles away I don't think that mainstream media talking about jet fighters so soon after tanks have been allocated is a coincidence or simple journalistic conjecture. NATO is preparing public opinion for it to happen. I'm not against the move at all, but I find it a bit disturbing how easy it is for general populations to be taken down a road where we will become accepting of each step that's been taken. My point is wider than the Ukraine war, as in my view, more should have been done to help Ukraine sooner, and we should do much more now. My main concern is how easy it is to make us comply with an overriding official message, and therefore, our loss of independent thinking.

A word of caution about tawny owls, they have been known to attack people (photographers in particular, and it has nothing to do with using a flash). It's thought that they can become extremely aggressive if you go near their nest at the wrong time of year, and they go for the eyes. People have lost eyes to tawny owls, so although the circumstances where they may attack are rare, they must not be treated as harmless.

From what I understand, deploying Abrams tanks requires a far greater logistics effort than Leopards and Challengers, as the things are incredibly thirsty. They are something of an "all in" weapon, whereas the Leopard (and I assume the Challenger 2) require far less support than the Abrams. As far as I know, which isn't a lot, you are exactly correct But it's all symbolic if US commits Tanks then it gives Germany Cover (and additional pressure) to do the same. So it's kind of in US hands to a certain extent and they are holding back for whatever reason Also the US are not putting pressure on Germany as far as I'm aware? it is thought that the UK and France sending tanks (the French tank is stretching the description of a tank, but it's dictionary correct apparently), then that would put enough pressure on Germany to join the fun. It looks like there's something (probably called Russia) that's stopping Germany from releasing the Leopards.

I could easily give away something I don't have so it's a pity those 3 Baltic States don't have a Leopard between them or indeed Britain has so few serviceable Challenger Tanks it can only commit 14 I proposed one theory above for the dithering, there are probably many. There is obviously some reason stopping US sending Abrams which would break the deadlock.

Here's a big picture update from Jon Parshall, via Facebook. Ukrainian Update. Disclaimer: WWII Historian taking time out of today's busy schedule writing about wartime American labor mobilization to bring you this *enthralling* update. TL;DR: Not much movement on the ground, but all sorts of fascinating stuff going on behind the lines. So this is gonna be a little long. Sorry. First, the ground. For the last week or so, everybody's been talking about Soledar, which is a little town of about 10,000 people located about 5 miles NE of a slightly larger town of 70,000 people called Bakhmut... which as everybody who hasn't been living in a cave knows, the Russians have been trying to take since about May. Near as I can tell: Yes, the Russians have made some gains (couple of klicks or so) over the past couple weeks; No, they do not control all of Soledar; No, if Soledar falls it does not mean that Bakhmut falls. More importantly, none of this changes the underlying dynamic of the struggle for Bakhmut. Putin needs a "victory(tm)", even if that "victory(tm)" requires taking hideous losses in securing a largely meaningless piece of turf that does nothing to transform the larger operational picture. For their part, the Ukrainians are perfectly cheerful to keep killing droves of Russians there so long as the Russians are intent on shoveling fresh offal into the grinder. Rumor has it that Wagner may have lost 30,000 casualties in the area. Meanwhile, half of Donetsk Oblast is still in Ukrainian hands (despite having been "annexed(tm)," ostensibly "forever(tm)" by the Russians), which is, ummm, kinda embarrassing. And the larger regional Russian objectives in Donetsk, like Kramatorsk and Slovyansk (which are actual small cities with six-digit populations) might as well be on the Moon. The big news yesterday was that the Russian command structure got shaken up for about the fifth time since the Special Military Operation(tm)'s glorious commencement. News Flash: if you're constantly playing musical chairs with your command organization, you're probably not doing real well in the war. There are also clear political dynamics at work here, as the new guy in charge, Valery Gerasimov, is a close Putin crony and old-school Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) guy, whereas the old area commander who just got demoted, Surovikin, was seen as more of a straight talker but also aligned with Wagner's head, Prigozhin. So now Surovikin is playing second fiddle to Gerasimov (which is gonna make for some pretty awkward staff meetings, methinks), and it's broadly up to Gerasimov to win this thing (good luck with that.) There's all sorts of fascinating speculation on the Russian political dynamics on display here. For one thing, Gerasimov is *also* essentially being demoted from being head of the military to now being put in charge of the actual operational planning. So, that's kinda weird. Putin's lining up behind MoD also seems to be sending signals to the Russian milblogger community that, "Hey, you need to be less harsh on the Russian army." But that's unlikely to work, because the milbloggers love Surovikin and Prigozhin, while Gerasimov is seen as a symbol of ongoing stodginess and military failure (which, ummm, he legit is, because in a very real sense Gerasimov was personally responsible for building this train-wreck of an army... and probably has the mansion to show for it.) The reshuffling is also probably sending a message to Prigozhin not to get too full of himself, because Putin is still in charge (and you can be pushed out a window, too, if you get too uppity)(and trust me, the Army and the FSB would *love* to see that happen). So, it seems like there's a real political cat-fight going on behind the scenes. What effect this is going to have on the Russian information space remains to be seen. But again, if the war were going well, none of this would be necessary, now would it? Institute for Study of War (ISW) also thinks that this is sending messages to the Russian people that this is going to be an extended war (probably with another round of conscription). Not only that, ISW thinks we will see renewed major offensives by the Russians in the coming couple months. They predict that these will probably happen EITHER in northern Luhansk (which is north of Bakhmut, and would be more directly aimed at Ukraine's #2 city, Kharkiv), OR coming down through Belarus against Kyiv, again (cuz that went super great last time, and the Ukrainians would be, like, totally surprised and unprepared for such a dastardly, unexpected move... NOT). Do I think that the Russians can actually go over to the offensive? Maaaaybe, given the number of new recruits they have in the pipeline. Do I think they could be successful? Almost certainly not, because 1) the Russians haven't fixed any of the systemic issues in their army, 2) their main line forces have already been wrecked and they've lost much of their experienced cadre, 3) they've demonstrated that even that now-dead cadre couldn't do maneuver warfare worth a crap anyway, 4) their morale is in the toilet, and 5) the Ukrainians are *much* better armed now than they were 10 months ago, and have the moral ascendancy to boot. This begs the question: aren't the Ukrainians going to counterattack again first? I think so, yes. I'm not following the war compulsively enough to be tracking individual UKR units, but my sense is that there are several Ukrainian brigades that have gone "radio silent" and are behind the lines training. My guess is that UKR is probably also laying in ammo stockpiles for an offensive. Where and when is unknown, but my money is on late Jan/early Feb. A lot of people are saying that attacking via Zaporizhia through Melitopol to cut the land bridge to Crimea would make sense, so as to start setting up Crimea for a fall this summer. That makes good sense to me, too. And the Russians are clearly scared of that as well, judging by all the trenches they've been digging in that neck of the woods. Guess we'll see, though. And then there's the ongoing weapons saga. First up: Patriot missiles finally on their way to UKR. One battery from the Americans, and then a second from the Germans. This starts putting in place additional coverage for Ukraine's infrastructure. But don't expect these things to be shot at Shaheds, because the missiles are about $3 million a pop. I honestly still think we need more Hawk, NASAMS, and other cheaper systems in there. But whatever. Germany has agreed to cough up more Gepard autocannon systems, though, which is a great, cheap point-defense solution against drones and cruise missiles (if you can put them in the right place). More exciting, though, is what's going on in the tank space. As you may have seen, about a week ago the French coughed up some AMX-10 light tanks (honestly, they're glorified armored cars, but whatever), at which point the Germans and Americans announced that they were going to send Marder and Bradley infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs). These are fully-tracked, lightly armored puppies that can each carry a squad of six soldiers, and sport a 20-25mm autocannon.) Some folks are like, "Pffft, IFVs! Why aren't we sending Abrams?!?" But hold on now. In order for the Ukrainians to do modern combined arms, they need IFVs to get infantry to the front lines under fire. So, Ukraine is delighted to have more IFVs, trust me, cuz their own stocks of Russian BMP IFVs have gotta be running short. More important, though, this move by the French is pretty clearly designed to get Germany to cough up Leopard II main battle tanks (MBTs). Germany's Olaf Scholz has been wringing his hands over providing these, basically saying "Because of our historical baggage, we don't wanna take the lead on MBTs: somebody else go first." Well, the French kinda called their bluff. And as it turns out, as a follow-up, Britain's MoD then announced that, "Hey, yeah, actually, *we're* gonna send Ukraine some of our Challenger 2 MBTs, too." Challenger 2 is a *very* heavily-protected front-line MBT that can defeat any tank in the Russian arsenal. The Brits probably aren't going to send many of them. But it's the precedent that's the message. France and Britain can both now look Germany in the eye and say: "M'dude, we've *both* just gone first, now. Your bluff is definitely called. Pony up, bitches (or polite diplomatic words roughly to that effect)." Then, yesterday, Poland, likewise, announced that it is *going* to just straight-up *send* Leopard IIs to Ukraine, despite the fact that Germany has precluded countries from sending tanks that *it* manufactured to other third parties that Germany has not approved. Poland appears to be thumbing their nose it this, and basically telling Germany "We're doing it. What are you going to do to stop us? Cuz, after all, y'all have some historical baggage with *us*, too, (bitches)." Given all this, I feel like the diplomatic dike has been breached in multiple locations. So I absolutely do expect that we will see significant shipments of either Leopard or Abrams before spring. Fingers crossed, because this would really help the Ukrainians be able to recapture ground. More broadly, I hope that we will witness a broader transformation of the alliance thinking behind this war to one wherein the West recognizes that we have agency. Negotiations aren't going to work with Putin. He still wants the whole enchilada, despite the fact that his army is failing. The fastest, least-bloody, least-expensive to settle this war is to commit to Ukraine's winning it. And "winning" means defeating the Russian army and taking back all of Crimea at least, along with substantial chunks of the Donbas. I honestly think that's achievable. It's just a matter of alliance money and willpower being translated into MBTs, ATACMS, probably F-16s, and a crap-ton of 155mm shells. Lastly, on the issue of ammunition shortages on both sides: Perun put out a video on that topic right at the end of 2022. Link below. TL;DR: Russia is pretty clearly shell-constrained now, but will never "run out" of ammo. It will probably, though, have to continue at its much lower current rates of consumption, or even less (which is another reason if the Russians try a new offensive push, I think they won't be able to pull it off.) Meanwhile, in the West, there *is* sufficient 155mm ammo production capability (particularly in places like U.S., Britain, Czech Republic, and South Korea) to sustain Ukraine for the long haul. It's just a question of cobbling it all together. Perun ammo video. Financial Times article on Challenger 2 and Polish Leopards: www.ft.com/content/092b8894-4441-4747-bfd4-5b21a0c68709

In news that's not going to shock anyone, Trump's company has been found guilty of fraud and fined the maximum $1.6m penalty. Seems like little more than a minor business expense. NPRSeems a bit bizarre that there's a maximum, seems to send a 'if you're going to do something crooked do it big' message. In our last assembly of school, back in the day, our headmaster gave us all exactly the same advice!

Wow, I’m not sure which nerve of yours I touched in the small hours, but that’s a lot of conclusion-jumping going on there. I’m not sure if having a dislike for our historical enemy is actually xenophobia, please feel free to call me a Francophobe when it comes to geopolitics. The “Twats” vs “Scoundrels” argument will depend on whether one has more sympathy for Armenia or Azerbaijan. I too would be very surprised to see any Russians in NK. I did not know of France’s current leadership of the UNSC, if I had known, I would not have taken the cheap shot at them. As much as I have misgivings about French policy, I am happy to recognise that they can be 100% correct. Perhaps I should have been gentler in my reply but it boils my piss that about 120K Armenians have been blockaded and face starvation and UK (like all big countries do) has put its own interests, Oil and Gas, above what is the right thing to do. This is especially poignant on this thread where rightly most people are supportive of the underdog Ukraine In normal circumstances I wouldn't favour Armenia or Azerbaijan over the other but these are not normal circumstances Nagorno-karabakh is itself officially neither Armenian nor Azerbaijani but a breakaway State (since 1991) The Republic of Artsakh it is self governing and is populated almost 100% by Armenians so is de Facto part of Armenia The last major flare-up ended in ceasefire in 2020 with supposedly 2000 Russian Peace Keepers set to keep the Peace. Obviously Russia has been distracted elsewhere and Azerbaijan has seized its opportunity in a particularly brutal way using starvation via a blockade Ceasefire, gladly accepted! I'm not particularly a friend of Armenia (or Azerbaijan), but they've been dealt an historically shit hand, so realpolitik led them to continue their alliance with Russia. What I'm missing, is the bigger picture for why Russia is helping Azerbaijan to export gas to Europe at the expense of an ally. What is it that Azerbaijan is doing that Russia values so highly? Perhaps it's to secure the transit of arms from Iran?

Your post is so inaccurate and xenophobic its difficult to know whether it stems from ignorence or a deeper agenda, most especially on this threadI get why we are behaving like twats, We UK are not behaving like Twats, we are behaving like scoundrels Deliberately colluding with Russia to back a UN Resolution condemning Azerbaijani Actions but I'm surprised at Russia, as Armenia is a Russian protectorate with Russians being the largest ethnic minority What utter nonsense the issue is the Nagorno-Karabakh Region which is almost 100% Ethnically Armenian. It's also a popular destination for Russians fleeing the Russian draft I doubt you will find one Russian in Nagorno-Karabakh other than the supposed 2000 odd Russian Peace Keepers . I suspect France is simply going around doing the opposite to the UK. This is where Xenophobia clearly raises its head.
France as current Head of UN Security Council had sought to bring pressure on Azerbaijan to stop the blockade of the Lachin Corridor and avoid a Humanitarian Crisis. Russia with the assistance of UK managed to block the Resolution Here is the gleeful Tweet of the Azerbaijan Ambassador to EU after the failure of the Resolution
Baku’s ambassador to Brussels, Vaqif Sadiqov, also credited Russia (in part) for helping to sink the resolution. “Words of gratitude go to Albania, Russia, UAE & UK!” he addedThe region is a screw-up as Nagorno-Karabakh should be part of Armenia, but the Soviets in their wisdom put the enclave in Azerbaijan. I agree certainly that it should be part of Armenia but the reasons USSR in 1924 decided this and it is still recognised Internationally as part of Azerbaijan are entirely more complex
