Ian Rons has written about Calvin Robinson’s views on Ukraine again for the Daily Sceptic, this time in a good faith effort to get Calvin to change his mind. Ian believes there can be no peace without Putin's defeat.
Calvin Robinson’s pox-on-both-their-houses position on the war in Ukraine is intellectually lazy and morally wrong, argues Ian Rons in the Daily Sceptic.
The US has given Ukraine unprecedented support. But how long will it last? Recent polls suggest a sizeable chunk of Americans remain committed to military assistance, though a growing number are sceptical.
According to a new report, Zelensky's decision to ban three pro-Russian TV channels was the "last straw" for Putin. Yet an advisor to Zelensky previously said the move was "calculated to fit in with the U.S. agenda".
According to Ian Rons in the Daily Sceptic, the drone attack on the Kremlin is unlikely to have been a false flag operation. He thinks the Ukrainians were behind it.
John Kirby, spokesman for America's National Security Council, recently claimed that Russia has lost 20,000 men since December. Is this figure plausible? Based on the best available information, the answer is "yes".
A few weeks ago, Ian Rons expressed doubt in the Daily Sceptic that China was about to sell weapons to Russia. Given China's support for a UN resolution labelling Russia the aggressor in Ukraine, it seems he was right.
In an unexpected move, the Chinese drone manufacturer DJI has stopped selling drones to Russia and started selling them to Ukraine. Does this signal a shift in China’s attitude to the conflict?
According to the UN, 2.85 million Ukrainians refugees are residing in Russia, more than in any other country. However, this number cannot be taken at face value, due to allegations of forced population transfers.
A recent article in Die Welt by Christoph B. Schiltz said it was impossible for Ukraine to win the war, claiming it is running out of men and matériel. In fact, the opposite is true.
