Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[Concordsafc]

We currently rely on Russia and Finland for approx 50% of our UK gas supply.

4% from Russia

Stuff posted like that does seem to resonate though.

There’s a widely circulated video at the moment of a guy sending his wife and little girl on a bus. It’s all translated but the premise is there that he’s staying in Ukraine.

It is a powerful video, though I have no idea if it’s authentic or not.

To be clear, I’m not a propaganda spreader or an expert in spotting photoshopped pictures. I just thought it was a sad image.

It resonates because its manufactured. Its easy to simulate emotion when you specifically create something to do that. Its called Propaganda.

2021? Read recently Russia and Finland supply a bulk part of our gas.
Don't ask me to source it couldn't do it. Misinformation?

Regardless of your opinion of the EU, NATO, the US, the “poking the bear” nonsense….this is quite simple. They’ve invaded and are bombing the shit out of innocents

Don’t mistake me for pro-Russian, understand me as someone skeptical of propaganda and interested in the nuances in between.

I see the French have impounded a Russian ship going through the channel
That’s a step up from the small talk

There's a Russian flagged ship due into Sunderland I wonder if that will end up impounded?

I’d be amazed if it’s changed much in a couple of months

Unfortunately, it's at least six years old.

Oh dear, still a powerful image though

I don’t disagree with you.

When you take a bothsideism position between good and bad guys, you're still on the wrong side of the fence.

Russian kids who don't want a war as much as the Ukrainians.

this will reflect in the protests in russia...they have a lot of conscripts on certain units

those sitting back home will be thinking their call up is coming if this drags on

russia cant sustain long term operations as they are already skint and their gear just isnt up to it these days..

Good, they need to get a move on and do it ASAP.

Consider that you might be wrong.

Consider that I’m talking to people on a forum that are 95% on one side, the conversation is only going to go in one direction, unless you can find me an overtly pro-Putin poster to converse with.

5’7 I think

Last leg on C4 showed the height of a number of dictators, turns out they were all short arses with small man syndrome, I wasn’t surprised

Might run true in here too...just started laughng at some of the midgets on the politics sub

 

[EchoMan]

Another thread etc but they have legit concerns about permanent damage to the environment and risk of earthquakes etc

They aren’t legit though. They need to read the facts.

 

[royaldragon]

That is an edited image.

Even if it is edited, it captures the mood of most of the Ukrainian people.

I understand that so called democracies are as susceptible to corruption as other forms of government, but to answer your question, no.
