So going back to 1942 we have a photograph of my father bottom row second in from the right, taken at Pirbright Tank training grounds for the Irish Guards Armored Division, prior to
going into Europe training new recruits on Sherman Tanks. Eighty years later the World is still at war.thumbnail_IMG_0669.jpg

Wow, that is an amazing connection. Thanks to your father ( and mine).

Canadian tank crews using Leopard II's have won more gunnery and maneuvering competitions against US M1A2 Abrams units than they've lost over the last 10 years. With well trained Ukrainian crews using Leopard II's,the Russians won't know what hit them on a run-and-gun battlefield. Now,if the Ukrainians could get enough equipment to conduct an offensive war instead of purely defensive operations,the Russians would need to head for their border or face catastrophic losses of material and manpower.

I don't doubt or dispute what you are saying. The only thing holding them, us and the rest of NATO countries is an all out nuclear war...And if push came to shove Russia would surely pull the trigger...

Oh c'mon Gilly, the world is not at war. A bit melodramatic. Serious conflicts perhaps, but not World War.

Until the Russians are out of Ukraine,any peace talks is just peein' into the wind.

The more interconnected we get the more conflict there will be. Like a big angry family.
