The allies never took the submarine base in Lorient, and in fact, the French government tried to destroy the fortified base post-war but found the concrete largely impenetrable. The French used it as a sub base until the mid-90's and it's still open for tours today (I toured it about a decade ago).
Maybe. Just worth keeping an eye on this while events in Ukraine garner the lion's share of global attention.
Thanks for posting these informative links. I'm not a war strategist but I do appreciate a better understanding of what is transpiring.
These are much easier for me to read. I've enjoyed Cooper, but Korshak speaks a language I can understand.
Moving on Belarus, then Ukraine, may have been a better strategy. Belarus is the size of Kansas with the population of New Jersey.
I think Putin thinks Belarus is already in the bag.
One major difference is that English is Korshak's first language, although he understands Russian and Ukrainian. Tom is an Austrian, I believe with an English father. He's very familiar with English, but sometimes he gets caught in loops and becomes incomprehensible. Korshak gives a lot of detail, but he explains it. Tom sometimes seems to assume we know all the little villages as well as he. Either that or he thinks we're reading with a map in front of us...
I think his age and possible illness played into choosing Ukraine, that and Ukraine's reluctance to be made his, um, "female dog"...
