Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[redandwhiterob]

I think it's a stretch to call Putin's government democratic.

Where the fuck did I say it was?

 

[jcrossan]

It's been 2 days has it not?

The Ukrainians are seriously overplaying their 'successes' imo for obvious reasons.

The conclusive is obvious and unfortunately inevitable.

In a sad way making Putin become more extreme is in a way a victory as it helps marshall support from across the world. Unfortunately this will increase the suffering..but not simply laying down and accepting it is a victory in of itself.

Inevitable Putin will "win" this war but at a far bigger cost. In my opinion he never in a million years expected this fight back and backlash. He has to throw everything at the Ukraine now force wise. He's fucked up big time

He’s basically dug himself into a hole
Mention about nukes this and that a lot of his are old and other nations also have the same capability everyone thought it would be the Germans who fired the first devastating bomb in ww2 they were wrong it was the Americans. Let’s remember this isn’t Russia the biggest super power in the world vs a sub standard west it’s Russia vs a very dangerous NATO.

 

[Lonz]

Why presume he's telling the truth?

Mind you it'd be a pr disaster if we didn't take them in.

Why would you assume he’s not? It’s Perry easily verifiable. You’ve just answered your own question there.

 

[Baloo]

What a good question

Azerbaijan and Armenia?

Agreed. Pains me to say it but the Russians have the resources and men to see this out.

At the same time, I pray I’m wrong.

Ukraine anthem

They took down RT News and the official Kremlin websites yesterday.

There's a Russian hacking group called Conti who are going after Anonymous for this (Conti reportedly have links to the Kremlin)

 

[Frijj]

Should have it's own page just like the Covid one

If anything, this thread tells us a COVID megathread could probably work now. Maybe retire and archive the COVID forum on March 23.

Bloody hell, going to be another horrendous night for them. May god be with them.

 

[Horatio Pugwash]

Azerbaijan and Armenia?

Are they democratic?
Dunno

 

[John the Savage]

Don't think that's legit. Think it's an old clip from Syria. Listen to the audio.

Aye- the bloke speaking in Arabic at the start is a bit of a giveaway.

 

[look out piano]

He has plenty of form for saying one thing and doing another. Lets hope he's telling the truth on this occasion

Oh no he isn't......?

I thought it was strange sending paras in. Even Putin the imbecile could be that stupid

It's not rocket science ffs.
