Leopard and Abrams tank donations not a silver bullet in Ukraine’s fight against Putin, experts say

1 day ago iNews

The US and Germany’s decision to send tanks to Ukraine is not a silver bullet military experts have warned, as Russia hit back at a “blatant provocation” by the West. US officials announced on Wednesday afternoon that they would supply 31 M1 Abrams battle tanks to Ukraine, hours after an agreement from Germany to provide 14 ‘Leopard 2’ tanks. Western allies praised the decision, with Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki describing the move as a “big step towards stopping Russia”. Some experts feared that the delivery of the tanks could lead Russia to scramble to make military progress prior to their arrival. Western allies and Ukrainian forces will also have to grapple with how to successfully deliver the tanks into Ukrainian hands.

This is the emergency Cabinet the next Tory leader should appoint

The drastic need to install a Conservative leader within a week is a search for someone brave or foolish enough to do it. With Jeremy Hunt likely to stay in post as Chancellor with a broadly similar “Mr Stability” pitch to Sunak, Mordaunt has the unique opportunity to delineate herself as the next cabinet’s most powerful player. Over the turbulence of the last week, the official pecking order of Cabinet has begun to matter very little. This is the true price of the Tories’ dysfunction – it has paralysed cabinet and no decisions, other than the “smash glass” variety have been made. So, whoever becomes leader, there is one managerial task that matters: the best people need to get into the right jobs.

US midterms 2022: Far-right groups intimidating Democrat voters in poll-rigging try-out ahead of next election

This week, a meeting of mayors from across America heard of widespread election interference targeting voters in poor and ethnic minority areas as well as candidates and election workers. She said that in 50 out of 67 Pennsylvania counties, election chiefs had left because of threats and intimidation against them and their families. “On election day and leading up to it you have armed vigilantes and extremists sitting outside polling stations,” he said. A Washington Post editorial on Friday said that cheating and malpractice ahead of the midterms could be “a small taste of what is ahead in the 2024 presidential election”. Other sources told the magazine that Trump views a potential midterm challenge as a “dress rehearsal for Trump 2024″.

Ukraine’s long, indecisive war is reshaping the political world map

He was, of course, dead right about the longevity of the First World War, which did not end decisively in 1918 but went on sparking crises and wars up to 1939. The Ukraine war is the third of these great pan-continental conflicts sucking in the rest of Europe and the US. Ukraine appears more like First World WarSo far the Ukraine war looks more like the First than the Second World War, in that it is likely to be long and indecisive. International attention is over-focused on the risk of nuclear war, possibly starting with the use of tactical low yield nuclear devices. Tectonic shifts in the political mapA long war in Ukraine means tectonic shifts in the world political and economic map, some of which were already underway.

Red Bull’s paltry fine for breaking Formula One’s spending rules is no real punishment at all

To put the sanction into perspective, the late Red Bull owner Dieter Mateschitz paid himself a dividend of more than $700m in 2021 on turnover of $6billion. The penalty for breaking Formula One’s spending limit is thus no penalty at all. In addition to the fine for breaking the 2021 $145m limit by $1.87m, Red Bull were hit with a 10 per cent reduction in wind tunnel and computational fluid dynamics use. Red Bull were judged to be in error on 13 points including accounts relating to catering, social security contributions, the supply of the Honda power unit, power train costings and travel costs. Red Bull accepted the breach as a trade against the risk of further penalties should they have challenged the FIA’s findings.
