Twitter is a funny place. Exactly the same people who are screaming "RELEASE THE LEOPARDS TO UKRAINE!" are exactly the same people who for years have been screaming for more social spending and zero military spending.
 
Only that Ukraine can't do anything useful with the Challenger 2. The reason being the same as why Britain's plans to finally get a new gun installed in these things: they're worn out and not produced anymore. Leclerc would be a bad choice as well, due to so few having been built. The same probably goes for Ariete. (How come you always forget Italy in your meme-marathons? ;))

No, as far as Western tanks go, it ought to be either the Abrams or the Leopard 2 by virtue of so many having been built.

Speaking of Leopard 2’s … the Turks also have many.
Many modernized M-60s all over the world. Great thermal and targeting systems and a 105 mm gun which can easily take out a T-72. Egypt alone has over 700 in storage. Turkey has almost 2,000 in service.

Give the stuff in storage away -> No more weapons, no more money spent on storing them -> More money to give away.

Really simple logic imo.
 
Regarding Soledar/Bakhmut, as I said earlier the Ukrainians are either going to have to hit them in either flank to force them back or create an offensive somewhere else that forces Russia to take forces away from the Bakhmut area.

If neither happens Bakhmut will inevitably fall, because conventional military logic (consideration for long term effects, losses, lack of equipment, morale etc) are not a factor here in Russian operations.

You could argue that Bakhmut in itself isn't important to the Ukrainians, it's the tying up of Russian forces that is, but only if the effort can be exploited elsewhere or it becomes an anvil without a hammer. Either way it can break the Ukrainian momentum in more ways than one.

I've never posted anything like this on twitter in my life, and neither has anyone I know. V

Good on them for realising the error of their ways. Quite frankly, some people – politicians, celebrities, activists – on the left have pleasantly surprised me on this matter, as has my country's youth which I'd always believed to be hopelessly irrational.

I believe old Ossis haven’t surprised you at all.
