Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[Shandy drinker]

To quote the tories “now is not the time”

Let’s not forget the EU were very slow off the mark and took days to get full agreement to properly isolate Russia

Apart from our stance on immigration I think we’ve been much more on the ball than them

What a load of shite

People like this need putting down

Sad excuse for a human being

Green Tea is good for you, full of antioxidants

And occasionally polonium.

Slightly off-topic, but hopefully, if things calm down, maybe a good time to push egos aside and have talks about re-entering the EU.

I think this has proven that unity is essential, and a lot of pros/cons were about trivial matters.

Apart from the obvious benefits of solidarity and trade it will stick two fingers up to Vlad as well.

Imm surprised the Russians haven't attempted to seal the borders. No good conducting a siege if weapons, personnel and aid are flooding in.

Through nato countries though, they wouldn’t dare go near them whilst they’re concentrating on still trying to get control of one country

It's a very long border.

Farage is scum. A hero to weak minded bigots.

Chapeau!

They were getting a slagging off 2 days ago on here for not doing anything, the main country in the eu were fannying about until last night

Don't they like sitting on pineapples or summat ?

 

[Luna17]

Am I missing something or is there a lack of leaders saying much -havnt seen Biden /Boris Macron or anyone giving updates for few days ?

Biden is a bad joke....says alot about Americans that they vote in Trump followed by the old duffer. His press conference was excruciating to watch last Thursday

 

[mackembulldog]

Putin thought they'd crumble and it would be all over by now....the exact opposite has happened.
Same thing with the West's response.... strategically...its a clusterfuck for him.

The problem with dictators they won’t accept defeat even if it’s staring them in the face, and when it does dawn on them, ultimately they run. Putin however is a different kettle of fish. He won’t run and would rather go down in a blaze of glory (glory probably the wrong word) He has ruled with fear. And nobody next to him have the bollocks to stand up to him. This is our only out I fear. His own turning on him

 

[Hot Since 82]

I can imagine there's very few people get close to him, he only ever seems to be seen in two rooms publicly these days too. I reckon there's a lot of paranoia going on.

Just lock the doors so the **** can't get out.

It'd take an insane amount of manpower and entail fighting offensive battles right on the borders of multiple EU and NATO member states. One wrong step there and you've got a much, much bigger problem.

Have to assume the CIA etc have opened a dialogue with opposite numbers in the GRU about such possibilities

I’m going to post positive things to try and ease the mood

Brilliant reply on there "The Russians have done a brilliant job uniting the West"

A military alliance is enough. How would being in the EU change what’s happening?

Not true. They announced SWIFT the same time as we, the USA and Canada did
