'Rather grim intelligence briefings today on fears that Russians frustrated by unexpected resistance will unleash thermobaric weapons and indiscriminate shelling on Kyiv in a bid to break through with horrific consequences for civilians. This is grim news if you've followed Russia's military conduct in Syria and its use of these weapons in place like Aleppo. These are not weapons to be used on civilian populated centres. We are looking at war crimes.'

This was my worst fear and would certainly prove Putin has lost plot. Kyiv is an important ancestral place for Russia so to go full mental is a very bad sign of the situation.

If they do this hopefully kept in isolation by the rest of the world for Years!

I agree, but surely making stuff up is crossing a line, more so on a thread like this.

Is it trolling, hoping to get a few bites, a true misunderstanding and not really getting to grips with history or just repeating bad information?

We have all likely been caught out at some point, but if you get might have something wrong and are pulled up on it, at least have the guts to either explain yourself and debate your view point or man up and admit your wrong.

Sorry mate, I couldn't help myself. Going on his history, I'd say it's trolling.

No you aren’t mate, they are showing tremendous bravery but I have no doubt that you would step up to the mark in similar scenario

Some will, some won’t. Listened to this bloke earlier.

He was saying the son of a friend had police knock on his door, gave him a gun, told him he had to report for service. As he put it, this lad was 21, had no training and was likely off to face Russians in tanks with a rifle.

All just anecdotal and one person’s story.

Judging by the information coming out of Kyiv tonight by Vitali and Zelensky, I have a feeling they already know what's about to happen.

Yeah. And here one of them is a sovereign country and the other is an invading army.

Just because there are two sides to every story doesn't mean they have equal validity. In this case, one is utter horse plop. If you don't like my reaction, take that of the rest of the world. Who's out there saying Putin is just fine and dandy for doing this?

Oh my God!
I’m off to the relative sanity of the SMB.
Don’t try and find me because ‘What chance ‘Have I got against a tie and a crest?’

I suppose it would be massively different if in that scenario not many people will know what they would truly do unless faced with it and hopefully we will never have to find out
 
My good friend @Andy_Roker1983 earlier posted praising Zelenski. I have to agree with his post which praised the guys bottle.
It made me think that whatever the outcome of this action by bully boy, if bully boy did it to go down in history and make a name for himself, he’s been totally upstaged by the bloke he alleges is a drug addict.
Zelenski’s name will be remembered forever,
