Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

Not open for further replies.

I'm amazed I'm classed as a gammon:lol: I admire Putin as a leader however he has well overstepped the mark here. He's a prick. I do wonder why it has taken him so long to up the ante though after his excursion into crimea.
He’s politically infiltrated the west before and after Crimea. It’s all been part of his plan. An evil evil man, in the same category as Hitler, Gadaffi, Sadam
 
FFS man, they are fathers and sons with families doing the job they have been ordered to. I’m appalled at Putin but it doesn’t mean I want to see Russian soldiers lose their lives because of his lunacy any more than I want too see Ukrainians lose theirs.
Western leaders and that UN Ukraine bloke need to appeal to the Russian soldiers to ask themselves "if they think this is wrong then stop and disobey orders and rebel against Putin"
 
There’ll be time after the fighting to mourn both sides. If the Germans had invaded in the 40s, would you be appalled at people cheering the deaths of every German invader?
I’d like any conflicts to be decided with the minimum loss of life on both sides, I won’t apologise for that. I won’t be cheering any killing just as I didn’t cheer the deaths of Iraq citizens at the hands of our troops.
 
We've had RAF air patrols rotating through the Baltic states for well over a decade
Yes, I'm aware of the NATO nations' military presences there (not huge in numbers, but not zero). But when push comes to shove, I really don't know what happens.

So that’s a no. If the Germans had invaded you wouldn’t celebrate their deaths?

Fuck me I’m glad you weren’t around in the 40s.
 
The reality of war - f***ing horrible.

No idea how anyone could actively wish for such a thing.
i've been listening to it all on the wireless today. it's so sad. saw a couple of pictures of some of the soldiers and they're just bairns man.
the human race is pretty good at being bastards to each other.
