Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[Jgrainger]

Putin will be fuming and hit the ‘launch nuke’ button probably.

Are there such thing as anti nuke weapons? I don’t suppose you can just shoot them out of the sky?

Piss off then, you'll not be missed.

Being an old photo and being photoshopped seems to have been conflated.

ohhhh are people using the term photoshop to mean photoshoot?! the two aren't the same and just weird that people are thinking theyre the same

 

[Super Ted]

Not sure how long we can just stand back and let this happen.

The EU, UK, US and everyone else need to do something.

it's not photoshopped. im not sure why people are saying that, but it's not

Whether it is or not mate, the sentiment of it still stands

There are missile defence systems, the chances of hitting a missile armed with MIRVs is slim and hitting the MIRVs themselves is even slimmer.

He’s a landscaper

It’s a good job he hasn’t put much thought into how to get back out of Ukraine. I suspect it won’t be needed

That's the only one they've got anarl. Their navy is pretty shite. Still have cruisers and battlecruisers which became obsolete in most other navies after WWII. Don't think they have many more destroyers and frigates than us and a few of those are getting on a bit. They also have five major naval bases so they're spread a bit thin.

Appreciate like their army they have some older gear but I thought they’d gone through a bit of a rebuild in the last decade or so?

This will be an unpopular opinion. It's clear the Ukraine are putting a lot of propaganda out and that's being backed up by people trying to get social media stardom. I honestly think the Russians are slightly behind where they planned to be, but are on top of the battle. There's a lot of people getting sucked into this ideathe Ukrainians are doing a lot better than expected.

It'll play out the way it did for the West in Iraq I reckon. The visitors steam rollering through, dropping bombs etc. Then never ending fighting door to door after that.

The fact that Russia is not already in control of Kiev is proof that the Ukrainians are doing better than expected.

To our eternal shame, we will not

Has Finland or Sweden responded to Putins threats?

In what context do you mean photoshopped?

Whether it is or not mate, the sentiment of it still stands

That's why it's been done though but it's not factual at all and has been posted to be misleading.

What's happening is terrible but if what you're saying happened it would be a tragedy.

But you must understand why we really can't.
