Can we please have a thread that is about Ukraine and a separate thread that is about everything else. I'm enjoying (well not but you get what I mean) reading about what's happening in Ukraine but this has turned into full of crap on Biden, Starmer, Boris, Brexit, Woke and so on.

It's not the time (well there's never a time) for the conspiracy crap.

Put posters you don’t like on ignore.
Aside from that I don’t think you can have a thread on this stuff where Biden and Johnson don’t have anything to do with it.

He’d have done what he always does, himself first and country second. If there was the slightest chance Trump’s business interests would be affected he wouldn’t have applied sanctions. The bloke is a spineless arsehole and it’s beyond me why any sane person would think he’s a force for anything other than his own wealth and vanity

Russians apparently building up another staging base 150 miles from the Polish border in Belarus. Highly unlikely to be anything but Id imagine NATO will be sending more troops to East Poland

Indeed. I don't see Trump coming up with any constructive suggestions or tough words for Putin, like Obama and GWBush. Just egotistical burbling about how it woul have been better if only he'd been in charge.

Surely even Putin isn't mental enough to attempt something on Poland?

That's not destined for Poland. That's destined for Lviv, Ukraine's biggest city on the West next to the Polish border.. It's where all the national embassies have migrated to also so planes/artillery aren't an option there.

They do, but the monotony of one poster in particular is irritating. He doesn’t even believe what he’s posting

The ignore function makes threads a pain

Maybe. Personally I just stick right wing trolls on ignore and get on with it. Be better if he was banned like, presuming we’re talking about the same gonk

Air raid sirens going off in Western Ukraine now, in Turnopil.

Have a feeling tonight will be a bigger assault than last night :(

It seems to me Putin has caught everyone off guard here, which means he has a small window of opportunity to make a lot of progress.

Let’s hope he doesn’t miss then because a hit on Poland would be a disaster.

Suffragettes, prohabition and ww1 for me 🤷‍♂️

Surely the end of ww2 onwards is the most important thing to learn?

Totally agree
Geography, History, right and wrong, humility and way more rolled into one - would actually learn the menaing of the word 'fascist' which would help.
World at War every other lesson would do.

If it wasn't for Schindler's List in English I cant remember it even being mentioned when I was at school
