Australians should prepare for Russia-Ukraine war to go on for longer, Richard Marles saysAustralia's defence minister says Vladimir Putin's threat to use nuclear weapons has caused 'anxiety', adding that the comments 'cannot be allowed to stand'. That depends on the West. If nuclear explosives were activated , there would be a whole different ball game. Sending more metal into Ukraine won’t help. Besides , I respect Ukraine wants weapons , but what’s happened to all that’s been sent in weapons and aids. No blinkers on. Longer than who expected? It’s been pretty clear to many from the onset that the US will force it to go on for as long as it can make it go on for, no matter the financial or human cost… The West has encouraged Ukraine to try (undoubtedly in vain) to subjugate separatist areas, even overwhelmingly separatist areas like Crimea.
