Another who can't get over 2016, despite having to apologise for her lies.

That just means he's not broken the law mate.

Dosent mean he isn't a Russian stooge who funded Brexit. Notably she's been saying that for years, and has not been legally required to recant that despite being put in the position of legal prosecution against her to do so

Your mate is a f***ing traitor owned by Putin. Get over your problems with that and own your own shit.

I can't understand why Putin hasn't been strategic so far. all seems so haphazard - unless he has some wanted some kind nuclear war as his endgame all along?

Exactly what came across my mind, still can’t believe how badly the Russian army are doing, his plan all along is maybe to start a nuclear war .

Interesting observation that. Up until now it's been American airforce only from what I've seen on FlightRadar in the last few weeks. Romania seems to be the main base.

More typhoons were definitely deployed to Cyprus and I think we had some in Estonia as part of the NATO air policing earlier. Yesterday there was at least one out of Conningsby as it switched its transponder one for the return journey over the North Sea.

One apology. That’s the best you have while literally saying that Russia is spreading misinformation about Ukraine :lol:

The war in Ukraine has shown the Russian military to be woefully inadequate in comparison to NATO. Hopefully soon people near him will realise he has to go or everyone will end up dead. Maybe give him and his oligarchs a one way tickets to Cuba. There are very few other places to go. Oligarchs money can be returned to the new Russian government.

Not so sure Cuba would want them. India maybe, Modi has been quiet or Brazil.
 
Looks like we’re being slow in supplying the equipment to Ukraine? Fingers crossed it arrives soon as Zelenakyy is saying the next 24 hours is crucial, mind he’s been saying that since Friday, and they’re doing well.

I’m sure I could find a sheaf of straws if you’d like a second go at clutching.

Putin will spin it that way.

I listened to a piece on 5live the other day, some American financier who had spent a lot of time in Russia close to the powers that be and he reckoned that plenty of ordinary Russians are struggling financially anyway and blame Putin for this meaning he is under pressure at home.

He called the Ukraine invasion the actions of a desperate dictator using deflection tactics to save his own skin.

I'd say Putin is the least under pressure world leader alongside Lukashenko, anyone who wants to give him a bit of pressure will be sharing a bunk bed with Navalny
I've seen a few posts about revolution etc which is very naive and delusional because they don't know what it's like to live under a dictator, it's like the Chinese standing up to Xi, it's not happening, ever.

The best chance of Russia getting rid of Putin is a catastrophic loss in Ukraine, his ego severely bruised his modern day USSR dream in tatters and he tops himself.

He didn't say "start accepting refugees".
You've either deliberately tried to misrepresent what was said in order to imply that they were refused entry to begin with, or you haven't bothered to listen to the source yourself.

He said "Of course we're going to take refugees ..".

The UK has always taken in refugees and that hasn't changed with Ukraine.
It's not difficult to understand.

Here you go. Prior to this announcement we have a very strict definition of Family member (or you can apply for a Fruit Picking visa).

Who knows, I cannot fathom why he didn't take more advantage of his long range and air advantage. Maybe he isn't as well stocked as he claimed, or he thought Ukraine wouldn't put up any resistance. Or, he knew he was going to have to go in either way and didn't want to use all his hardware.

He has definitely misjudged the west, Ukraine and his ability to wage propaganda with social media. Anonymous getting involved too, who would have thought that?

Belarus being a bunch of horrible dog nonces.
I know it’s not going to happen but I’d love for someone to go in and spank them all owa, citing “anyone who tries to interfere will be met with consequences”

Horrible bastards man.
Hopefully the sanctions starts against them now.
