Why was the Battle of Stalingrad so important?

The destruction of the 330,000-strong Wehrmacht grouping at Stalingrad led to the virtual collapse of the German front. German troops rapidly rolled back hundreds of kilometers westwards from the Volga and the Caucasus. Hitler’s Romanian, Hungarian and Italian allies suffered heavy defeats from the Red Army as it gained momentum.

The ‘Axis’ military-political bloc was literally coming apart at the seams and morale in the Third Reich reached rock bottom, while there was universal jubilation among the member-countries of the anti-Hitler coalition.

‘Racial Discrimination’ Alcohol Ban Reintroduced In Australian Town

Alice Springs has brought back a ban on alcohol that critics considered “racial discrimination” after a surge in violence in the town where one-fifth of residents are Indigenous Australians.

No takeaway booze can be sold on Mondays and Tuesdays, while no alcohol at all can be sold except between 15:00 and 19:00 on all days excluding Saturday.

Official data shows that in the 12 months to November last year, there were 2,653 assaults in the town of around 25,000 people.

PM Anthony Albanese insisted Tuesday that the move was “in the context of the gap in health outcomes, housing outcomes, life expectancy, incarceration rates between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.”

‌Biden makes Ukraine tank announcement

The US will send 31 Abrams tanks to Kiev

The US will send 31 Abrams main battle tanks to Ukraine, President Joe Biden announced in a hastily scheduled speech on Wednesday, after Germany said it would start delivering its Leopard MBTs to the government in Kiev. 

The speech was announced on Wednesday morning as a last-minute addition to the White House schedule. 

Calling the Abrams the “most capable tanks in the world,” Biden noted they are complicated to operate and maintain and as such Washington will also provide “parts and equipment necessary to effectively sustain these tanks on the battlefield.”

Biden insisted the tanks were a “defensive” weapon and not a threat to Russia, while praising Ukraine as “fighting for freedom” and pointing out the announcement coincided with President Vladimir Zelensky’s birthday.

Earlier in the day, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Berlin would send 14 of its own Leopard 2A6 tanks to Ukraine and allow other EU and NATO countries to do the same with theirs. “We are acting in a closely coordinated manner internationally,” Scholz said in a statement.

Poland had pushed for sending the Leopards to Kiev as part of an “international coalition,” but the move required Berlin’s approval. German officials signaled last week that the US would need to commit to sending the Abrams tanks first.

The US military has reportedly been reluctant, considering the gas-guzzling, turbine-powered Abrams too difficult to operate and maintain and too heavy for Ukrainian infrastructure. 

According to Biden, the US and its allies have provided Ukraine over 3,000 armored vehicles and over 8,000 artillery pieces so far. Moscow has warned the West that such deliveries only prolonged the conflict and risked drawing the West into direct confrontation.

Russia’s ambassador to Washington has described the rumored delivery of US tanks to Kiev as “another blatant provocation” by the “real aggressor” in the conflict, adding that they will “no doubt be destroyed” along with other hardware that NATO has poured into Ukraine over the past year.
