I genuinely believe that if Trump was still in power Putin wouldn’t be invading Ukraine now.

Biden is so non compos mentis, weak and corrupt that this has emboldened Putin hugely.

Either way, Biden is finished.

I don’t think Biden is finished yet.

However, the UN just might be. One of the legs has taken a huge hit and it’s looking unstable

He is. Particularly Swift. The west needs to completely cut all ties with Russia, regardless of economic consequences. It’s immoral to always be chasing the £€$

This isn't an Iraq where the Americans and ourselves can turn up and flex our muscles, It's a long game. The Russians will probably take Kyiv quite quickly but with as minimal casualties as possible. The 'war' will come in the coming months by grinding him down.

Sounds like the Russians thought they'd be welcomed.

I don’t want to come across like I’m deliberately trying to argue, but videos like that are used as propaganda all the time.

Pressuring an injured soldier into saying what you want to hear to receive treatment.
I get the point and the purpose of it but it can easily be used as propaganda for both sides.
 
A divided America has allowed Putrin to think he can throw his micro penis around. Screw political leanings the USA need to remind the vile midget who the hell they are. The only good thing that might come from this is uniting the division caused by cancerous social media.

Look the war propaganda machine will be spinning, so you can't necessarily believe any story. But this is interesting. I maintain the Russian soldiers are not the enemy. It's the politicians and elite who force them to fight.

Not sure if mentioned, but there’s reports Russian soldiers aren’t even being told they’re fighting Ukranians

There’s going to be lots of it isn’t there from both sides.

There’ll be protest videos coming out of Russia that’ll be doctored/fake.

I completely agree, take anything with a pinch of salt in times of war.

There's others doing the rounds and they all look slightly suspicious. The one of the motorbike soldier is very similar. There's another that's being shared now that allegedly shows a Russian soldier face down saying that he was told they were coming over to Ukraine to evacuate people, not to fight. They're all believable, but at the same time are also quite easily set up or fake.

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

Our lass will knack Putin if he invaded Poland, we’re meant to be going on a much delayed holiday there in the summer
 
Unimaginable the fear those trapped in the fighting must be going through. Innocent people, children ffs. Scared that they are going to die. Wanting to just live their life with their family in peace. Mothers and father's leaving their little one's potentially for the last time. Gut wrenching to watch never mind have to do.

I despair at the human race sometimes. Cruel, callous bastards. I fear what we will wake up to tomorrow morning in the news. Dark days indeed.
