Military aid [and intelligence sharing] has already started to flow into Ukraine after Kyiv agreed to implement a 30-day ceasefire with Russia at the conclusion of marathon talks with the US in Saudi Arabia.

“I have confirmation that the security assistance from the United States has been restored,” Pavlo Palisa, the deputy head of Ukraine’s presidential office, wrote on Facebook, while
Donald Trump said he was “open” to inviting Volodymyr Zelensky back to the White House and will speak to Vladimir Putin this week.

Biden regime had a tad under 3 years to get a ceasefire.
Trump has managed it in less than 3 months.
Turning off the arms/cash/intelligence spigot is the Trump equivalent of slapping out tariffs.

Since 2011, Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa have been members of the BRICS. This year, in the bloc's first expansion in over a decade, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia and Egypt were formally incorporated. In addition, 34 other countries have expressed interest in joining the group.

According to the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S. Paulo, in October, when the BRICS summit met in Russia, the president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, defended the idea that the countries of the bloc should seek alternative means of payment among themselves to reduce dependence on the use of the dollar.

The development of a compensation mechanism in local currencies for the BRICS is one of the priorities of Brazil, which assumes the presidency of the bloc this year and during 2025.
In addition to accelerating this proposal to be less dependent on the dollar, Brazil also wants to increase the role of the New Development Bank, the BRICS bank, currently under the presidency of former Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff.
Since 1944, the dollar has been the standard currency for international transactions. Trade between countries traditionally involves converting local currencies into the US dollar.
And although the dollar has a strong global position, relying on it leaves other countries vulnerable to its fluctuations and to US monetary policy.
One alternative that is already being used in some transactions is the use of the yuan, China's currency.
When Russia was excluded from the SWIFT system, the Asian giant, one of its major trading partners, took advantage of the situation to encourage exchanges in its currency, thus trying to strengthen its economy against the US.
The replacement of the dollar is unlikely to be consolidated in the short term, but the BRICS appears to have the necessary weight to promote an alternative.

As highlighted by Brazilian newspaper G1, the member countries represent 46% of the world's population and their combined GDP is already greater than that of the traditional Western powers, according to projections by the International Monetary Fund, so Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's proposal is certainly a threat to the United States.

Russia will not stop as Ukraine is literally the last place before NATO has a complete front line against the Russian border. This war is not winnable and the next step is escalation on Russia's part.

Russia will stop when its offensive culminates and the front lines collapse. Russia can order another mobilisation but Putin fears his own people more than anyone in the West, including Trump. The Russian economy is being held together by chewing gum and rubber bands. It will not take much to push it over the edge.

Putin does not have the ability to fight Europe. He doesn't have the equipment to give to any mobilised armed force. All his effective military forces have been killed or wounded already. His reliance on North Korean troops in the last few months speaks volumes about his manpower shortage and after the North Korean troops run out, he has nowhere to turn except further mobilisation and that is when the Russian people will start to turn on him. It won't happen overnight, but protests will start, they will be repressed, and then they will grow larger.

This is the West's one chance to get rid of Putin. Not to take advantage of it will be a catastrophic mistake.

Putin, like pretty much all of us, is not immortal.
He will get old(er), get sick , feeble and die.
Russia itself will suffer the same fate.
Its demographics are astoundingly bad and getting worse as more and more of its young men go through the mincer of war.
They will eventually end up with insufficient working people to support all the rest.
As a nation, they are on the abyss.
look at their top 10 exports.

64% of their exports come from a finite resource that is diminishing, though it is difficult to really work out what they have.
The more wealthy sections of th wold are supposedly shunning these products as CO2 pollutants.
The fact that about 70% of the oil they produce comes from extremely harsh and difficult climates in Siberia makes their task even more difficult.
The Ukraine war has shown that their Military is nowhere near as advanced as we were led to believe.
If the world is willing to wait and not goad Putin into unleashing Nuclear weapons cos he feels cornered, we will all be better off.

Totally agree a Australian I know has spent a huge amount of time in Russia one question he asked frequently of Russians was why did you vote for Putin and why do you let him rule simple answer was there are endless others in line that are far far worse … Russian logic

64% of their exports come from a finite resource that is diminishing, though it is difficult to really work out what they have.

Based on US Energy Information Administration (US Government) estimates a few years ago, Russia has:

23.3% of the world's natural gas reserves, the largest of any country.

4.7% of the world's oil reserves, putting Russia in 8th place behind Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Canada, United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.

9.5% of the world's hard coal (bituminous or anthracite), putting Russia in 5th place behind the US, China, India and Australia.

28.4% of the world's lignite and sub-bituminous coal, the largest of any country. Such coal isn't generally considered exportable however due to its lower energy density. It's adequate for local use for power generation or at a stretch boiler fuel but the problem with export is simply the mass versus energy yield results in costly transportation (plus lignite is prone to spontaneous combustion, another reason to not load it onto ships).

By the same estimates Ukraine has:

0.5% of world natural gas reserves.

A not zero but inconsequential amount of oil, circa 0.02% of world reserves.

4.4% of hard coal (anthracite and bituminous)

0.7% of the world's lignite and sub-bituminous coal.

Based off what?
Western propaganda?
They are using and rotating about 300k out of roughly 1.3 million active and reserves.
The North Koreans are getting rocket tech out of it.
The guy that's likely to take over from Putin is worse. Russians are gradually gaining ground not losing it and Ukrainian lines are collapsing. Ukraine was never wining this war.

No one in their right mind would think Russia would fall to the west easily. China would literally defend the buffer zone that is Russia to keep the west further away from it.

Kursk, Pokrovsk, and Avdiivka have all recently been lost. Russia is not rushing into a ceasefire. That should tell you right there.

The suspension of US military intelligence to Ukraine turned the tide decisively to the Russians. It is a game changer.
Excellent analysis of how much impact US intelligence offers.

What Trump’s intel pause cost Ukraine​

U.S. has resumed intelligence sharing with Kyiv. But it won’t be able to regain Ukraine's trust as an ally. Now Kyiv needs to seek new, more reliable intelligence providers.​

For nearly a week, Ukraine was partially blinded by the actions of its once-close ally: it was deprived of American intelligence.

Civilians suffered from missile and drone attacks, while the military faced Russian offensives.

All of this was intended to force Ukraine into so-called ‘peace.’

"[With Trump], there is a swing that goes back and forth. To be honest, I don't know what will happen next," said Maksym*, a Ukrainian soldier connected with intelligence.

As part of the negotiations between the U.S. and Ukraine in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, Washington finally resumed intelligence sharing after a week-long pause. During this time, while Ukraine was significantly weakened by its own ally, Russian forces managed to seize new territories and once again carried out acts of terror against civilians.

What is wrong with our Prime Ministers thinking. Flawed, foolish, or uneducated?

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says Australia's contribution to a future peacekeeping effort in Ukraine would be "small". Overnight, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer brought together a so-called "coalition of the willing" — some 29 Western nations, including European countries, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, but excluding the United States.​

Australia's defence force is already short staffed and lacking enough equipment for our own reconnaissance and defence, and the Ukraine - Russian war is on the other side of the world, next to very rich countries with their won defence forces.

"This is a paradox, listen to how it sounds: 500 million Europeans ask 300 million Americans to protect them from 140 million Russians. If you know how to count, rely on yourself," Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk​

​

The Polish prime minister stressed that Europe currently suffers from a "deficit of imagination and courage."​

​

He pointed out that the European countries' army, together with Ukraine, consists of 2.6 million soldiers, while the U.S. has 1.3 million, China 2 million, and Russia 1.1 million.​

@Sean K may have another view but militaries get experience from engagement that includes peace keeping helps keep up what is happening on battlefields now to try and avoid fighting today using the last war tactics. As the US alliance is in serious question connecting with the European's makes strategic sense.

As the US alliance is in serious question connecting with the European's makes strategic sense.

Our military has received plenty of experience from peace keeping engagements, and we have a few countries within our region that can do with our help.

In other times, when our military capacity was at sustainable levels and well equipped, we could have no issues in sending a peace keeping force to the Ukraine. however, we are currently low on troop numbers, lacking equipment and poorly funded.

Australia has no capacity to send a peace keeping force to a continent that has more than enough troops, equipment and funding to look after themselves.

Our alliance with the US has no problem. And we also should be looking at neighbours closer to home for military and peace alliances.

Lots to consider. It might depend on strategic planning and preparedness for anything imminent in our region. Our contribution to that will mostly be airforce and navy. The Army's not really doing much at the moment except training and would have the capacity to send a battalion plus group quite easily while still training, preparing and contributing to regional and major exercises. So, all might depend on how ready we need to be for anything local and what our strategic planners think our commitment might be, if anything. I also think Albo has had a brain fart on this one and jumped the gun to try and prove he's not weak. One thing I do know though is that it's been a while since we were on a decent peacekeeping mission or combat operation. Last combat troops left Afghanistan in 2013. OP OKRA in Iraq from 2015 was a training mission. A lot of experience has left the Army since then. This is what's called a 'peace dividend' but it also might mean you lose a lot of soldiers who joined to deploy on ops.

John, I agree we should focus on SW Pacific at this time. We should be doing more engagement with everyone to our NE. Our 'moat' is our responsibility but the outer 'wall' on the other side of that is critical and is Indonesia, PNG, Solomons, Vanuatu, Fiji and NZ. We need to make sure they're on our team. Best to prioritise that.

But, as I said above, it's 10 years since any decent operational deployments. That means anyone from the rank of Private to Major may not have been on war-like ops. I'm not sure what the attrition rate is at the moment, but it used to be about 10% pa. That's a big chunk of experience lost. SK
