Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[MSC]

From what I’ve been reading today, it seems pretty obvious that putin’s been planning this for years. Building up massive currency reserves, the new pipeline to China etc etc. to try and lessen the impact from the inevitable sanctions. Just shows that the recent attempts at diplomacy have been for nothing.

Worrying. Surely the western intelligence well aware of this and can join the dots ffs?
Sceptically makes you wonder if some of the big arms dealers need some big contracts and a blind eye has been turned.

Should offer him the chance to lead the troops into battle. Get him back in the old regiment.

Always been the same - huge bravado from cowardly, unlikely to be affected bellends.

Freezing a few bank accounts in response to an invasion of a sovereign country is such a 21st century response.

It's almost as if he is giving some of his Russian associates a little time to move their UK based finances so he can then put more sanctions in place, claim he is being tough, and the Russians that fund the Tory Party will not be financially harmed.

Nobody's going to be interested in the Russian perspective, the paranoid madman narrative is too compelling.

 

[smoker]

im not , but what makes you trust the UK establishment so - both russia and uk are more than capable of dirty tricks

I form my own opinions based on what I read and see. You'd have to be in a state of cognitive dissonance to believe the bullshit peddled by the state media of an autocratic country over western liberal media,

I reckon we all should gan for a pint in the Winchester til it all blows over.

Sounds like Russia about to stage their reason for invasion

 

[coyneeee_s]

Imagine if someone turned the road sign posts upside down so that the Russians end up in Chernobyl rather in Kiev.
