Interesting, I had an impression something significant would happen between Christmas and mid July. They certainly seem like a big move is expected.

Sullivan: “We don’t know when this is going to end up. What we do know is that it is our job to continue to sustain our military support to Ukraine so that they are in their best possible position on the battlefield, that if and when diplomacy is ripe, they will be in the best possible position at the negotiating table.”
“That moment is not ripe now, and so, as a result, we’ve gone to Congress and asked for a substantial amount of further resources to be able to continue to ensure that Ukraine has the means to fight this war. We’re confident we will get bipartisan support for that… “
General Zaluzhny’s request:
“I know that I can beat this enemy. But I need resources. I need 300 tanks, 600-700 IFVs, 500 Howitzers. Then, I think it is completely realistic to get to the lines of February 23rd.”
Bhadrakumar: “Therefore, in the prevailing circumstances, Russia’s option narrows down to inflicting a crushing defeat on Ukraine in the coming months and installing a government in Kiev that is not under Washington’s control. But that requires a fundamental shift in the Russian military strategy, which would factor in the real possibility of a confrontation with the US and NATO at some point.”
“At the start of the war Ukraine had, at least on paper, a well equipped military”
Ukraine has a lot of tanks and is ranked 13th across the globe with 2,430. In terms of armored vehicles, Kiev also ranks high, occupying the seventh spot globally with 11,435. Kiev’s artillery power is also formidable at 2,040 batteries.”
“That General Zaluzhny requested all that new stuff is a confession that most if not all the old stuff is gone. That includes the weapons he received after the war started. If the 20 percent of the Russian military that was used in Ukraine could do so much material damage in such a short time how long would a NATO army in a war against Russia survive?”

Sounds like the American plan is to finance tens of thousands of more Ukrainian soldiers deaths until Ukraine is “in their best possible position on the battlefield, that if and when diplomacy is ripe, they will be in the best possible position at the negotiating table.”
Gawd life is cheap...:-(
The DC neocons are greasy subhuman slime.
Expect something to happen in the second half of 2023.
That is a great movie. Found a copy on ebay years ago.
Just discovered that there’s a new version of this movie out, Operation Mincemeat, starring Colin Firth. Available on Netflix.

Saw it, not nearly as good.
OK thanks for that info. The original was a great movie. Wish I could stream it somehow.
I would try ebay. Or your public library. If you have any software like Roxio, you can rip a digital copy for your library, not to sell.
Thanks. Will look into those options.
