Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[SYB_DC]

I said to someone I didn't think history wouldn't look too kindly on Zelensky either and the lads who've rushed out to buy their Ukraine flags are having a hissy fit. It must have put them off their vinegar strokes.

If you’re standing by that opinion on Zelensky, you’re looking worse by the minute. Man will die as perhaps the greatest hero in Ukrainian history, and when they throw off the Russian yoke yet again, he will be the archetypal patriot.

She agreed a deal to supply Germany with 65 per cent of its gas from Russia.

Aye. Masterstroke that one.

A masterstroke that’s now going to have to be unraveled in double-quick time, so Germany isn’t compromised by its own energy requirements.

Why marra?

Because in times like this it feels we have something to warn them off ourselves. Plus if one came towards us i'd find comfort that one was going back towards the prick.

If Ukraine had nukes i wonder if this still would of happened.

Nobody should need to wonder. The answer is no way it would have.

A lot braver then I ever could be, telling a warship commander to go fuck themselves.

Well let's hope he does.

You always read about these instances in war years if not decades after the fact.

Social media will serve a purpose if it marks these things as they happen.

Anonymous did warn them. Class that they have got involved. They can act with impunity.

If it is them of course. Not basing the above on anything.

Edit apart from the username in the post. Had a mare here.

She's just worried that the money dries up and she can't buy any more fancy knickers

Well allegedly her Dad knows a thing or two about having people killed because of money...

 

[SYB_DC]

I’m not sure what you’re saying here. At best, you’re hoping for death. At worst, you’re a pathetic Putin ass-sucker.

Either way, you’re no Zelensky. Or, like, normal.

 

[dom]

No, you’ve completely lost the plot. Our populations protest when our governments do unjust things. Then we have elections and the leaders have to subject their actions to the judgement of their subjects, including the protesters.

There’s no equivalency with Russia. Russia does not operate under any rules that allow it to be equivocated morally to the US or UK. It is Putinistan.

You’re getting me wrong here.
I don’t support Putin’s Russia.
People there are protesting.

 

[SYB_DC]

Have you been listening to the BBC?

Thought your phone was dead.

 

[dom]

Are you pro Russia ?

Not the regime.

Then say what you mean. Putin. Yay or nay?

My history isnt the best at times, but I am sure Finland won a conflict with Russia to stay Independent, that makes a big difference.

Won 2. But it teaches you to think cleverly especially in the age of atom bombs.

Social media will serve a purpose if it marks these things as they happen.

And there are a few Russian sportspeople and figures coming out and voicing publicly against the war. More need to do it, and he will soon lose the narrative.

Where do we stand with russia's missile capability?Hypothetically do they have the capability to hit the uk and what kind of damage would it do?

It’s the ultimate stand off when it comes to things like missiles and nukes really. They have large capability supposedly, but so do USA, ourselves & EU.

Just a case of who blinks first with it, but it’s completely the last resort for anyone to use I think.*


*Might be bollocks.
