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.

Why do you think that? Presumably the “either” is in relation to Putin?

That's a bad move from Ukraine if true.

That's what I thought.

This is fascinating. A suggestion that - perhaps - things have gone wrong for the Russians.

Jesus fuckin Christ I’d be like Colin McRae out of there

He waited at the red to be fair! Although that might have been before the firing started

Putins fingers are freaking me out. Like those ones you used to see poking out a car boot. Weird little fucker.

An interesting piece which goes some way as to why Putin claims he is de-nazifying Ukraine - originally it seems it was Galicia who were the collaborators but from what I can gather that didn't last long and in no way can you garner from that that Ukraine now has any Nazi sympathy or aspirations, the original Nazi collaborators were in the South-Eastern territories which I believe are primarily targeted by Putin and maybe this collaboration is why he harks back to WWII but I honestly don't think there will be many nazis present there now - essentially Ukraine just want to be part of the EU and NATO and I think the EU membership will come a lot sooner..

"Collaboration with Nazi Germany in German-occupied Ukraine took place during the occupation of what is now Ukraine by Nazi Germany in WWII. The new territorial divisions included District of Galicia and Reichskommisariat Ukraine, which covered both the south-eastern territories of the Second Polish Republic and the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, across the former borders."

I see your comment and can’t disagree. I can also understand that the culture is that aggression and humiliation is normalised. Certainly far more than is common in the uk.

 

[West_Winger]

As long as Borderforce does it’s job I don’t have a problem with that, if they can afford to hire a private plane better that the money goes to western companies rather than back to Moscow

Yeah but if you’re one of the god knows how many who are linked to Putin and who should be sanctioned but haven’t - this isn’t going to have any effect. Again it sounds tough but in reality it isn’t.

Aye but if they want back up from NATO it's the wrong thing to do

They could set those off anywhere and have the same effect. No reason to move them to the Ukraine to set them off. That’s propaganda and nothing more.

Valid point. But we (NATO) aren’t doing anything. If there was no hope left, then anything goes??

Valid point.

I was thinking that. Is the footage even recent?

 

[TravellingMackem]

I have worked in the industry.

Have you forgotten our conversation on another thread last year?

As a former schedule manager I can confidently quote realistic timescales which you evidently cannot.

If you say so mate 10 years my arse took us 32 years to build a dry store recently

 

[Wild Card]

Surely not, that top left pic ffs poor bastards don’t even want to be doing this

Don't agree with that, they don't want to lose public support in Russia. It seems to be building but stuff like that might change the sentiment.

Interesting, I certainly don’t think Putin expected this level of resistance. But like that man has said if that’s just a third of Russias troops and Ukraine are already giving out guns to anyone able bodied, you’d think Russia can choose to end this whenever they want. I’m still praying this blows up from within, no one wants this apart from that mentally deranged twat bag.
