Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[craigypants]

Is a full scale, murderous invasion politics? f***ing weird that to me.....












?

 

[Baloo]

No 10 YouTube on my desktop.

Thought you meant he was doing a new announcement.

 

[FN-2187]

Why not?

He’ll just threaten to use nukes and everyone’s arses will drop out

Well if he invades a nato country then we are at war, that's how nato works.

 

[Harry Angstrom]

So what then? What if Putin invades another country, then another, then another? Do we let Putin get away with whatever he wants, to avoid nuclear war?

If Putin was to invade the UK would you say we shouldn’t retaliate because it might risk nuclear war?

If this was a Nato country then the balloon would have gone up. It isn't so it hasn't.

There's a few posts about a couple of captured Russian soldiers and they're just young lads.

That is one of the things where Russia struggle... Discipline in the army.. conscripts and young lads don't want to fight

 

[Napoleon Dynamite]

No, we don’t. This is between Russia and Ukraine. Nothing to do with us whatsoever. Our moral obligation as human beings would be to support any civilians who are displaced by all of this.

Shame they don’t have much oil

Where are the UN at this moment in time.. they are the ones who should have had peace keepers deployed

can the UN deploy peackeepers if a member of the Security Council says 'niet'

can thr UN deploy peacekeepers if the current president of the UN Security Council says 'niet'

its a serious question - i dont know the answer (but i assume it's 'niet')

It was new to me, even though it was late!

 

[Horatio Pugwash]

Yes. Boots, boats and planes.

If we don’t stop Russia now, where does it end?

I can see your point bud but.....If we do try to stop Russia now, where will it end?

I'm not going to go down the line of "it's not your life you are asking to be sacrificed" but will the British people be willing to watch the death toll of our forces rise? What if the west were to start getting the upper hand? Is Putin crazy enough to go nuclear? Tactical? Strategic?

 

[Lord Alfred]

I am surprised @Lord Alfred, hasn't given his opinion, not from what I can see.

You'll find very few posts on this forum from me in recent months.

Why would you even look to see if I've posted anyway?

 

[CissesUnderpants9]

It'll end in nuclear war if his back is against the wall.

Correct, it will.

 

[Lonz]

And we’re going in the wrong direction.

Not based on the example you gave. Every other Western democracy had the same rules and we’re the first to remove all restrictions.

 

[PeteFTM]

Yes. Boots, boats and planes.

If we don’t stop Russia now, where does it end?

If we attempt to at this point, we could be endangering civilian lives across the world.

The Russians wouldn’t just back off.

You are probably correct... Always a veto

i've changed my facebook picture to an Ukranian flag that'll teach him the tyrant

 

[nelford_safc]

One potential bit of saving grace is that Putin wants to rebuild the USSR. If he pushes the red button so do the US, UK, France etc and they’ll be nowt left to hVe a USSR on.

Don't think so which is why it's called a veto.

1 like = 1 prayer for Ukraine.

Get Pensha monument lit up in their colours too!

That'll teach em.

Surely we have a moral duty to defend Ukraine. NATO or not.

We don’t have a moral duty, but purely for self-perseveration we can’t allow it to happen.
