That will just inflame the situation. He’s getting all the support the EU can give without being a member. The EU is not NATO.

Possibly, but understandable if he wants increased security for the country.

Just looked at this for a second time and it’s very powerful. I didn’t grasp the first time who it was that it was coming from.

Yeah I'm surprised not more is being made of it. But then I suppose the flow of news is pretty fast and there's a lot going on at the minute.

Why am I even replying to this? 🤔 I'll say one more thing as it's a thread on the politics forum with a subject and it seems that you can't quite grasp that and coming out with the old "if you don't like it just ignore it" and thinkk this thread can be a free for all discussion. That's my point and why I raised it again with @Pancho as it's often too much to ignore when people are looking to see what the latest updates are in. Not everyone is that bothered about politics but they then end up seeing a load of political discussion that sometimes end up, like yours did earlier, off topic and basically tit for tat.

You’re now doing more than anyone else to derail the thread.

Seriously, as @chrismisterx says, just skim past anything you don’t like FFS. It’s what normal people do.

That isn’t how it is viewed though, we’re on the cusp of a ww3 situation, I prefer to deal in facts so that resolution can be found.

That's not how it's viewed by the insane people in the Kremlin. But you sitting here pretending Putin's views - which yes, must in some way be accommodated to achieve a resolution - are in any way factually valid in an objective sense is silly.

Serious question, why come on to a football forums political sub forum to get updates on an international crisis. Surely there are better sources of credible information out there?
I come on here because you get the broad spectrum of truth, untruths, comedy, tragedy and community. Sometimes you have to take the rough with the smooth.
Just my view, peace and love....

Absolutely. I’ve spent the afternoon scrolling through this thread whilst flicking between the Beeb and Sky News for ‘actual’ news.

In summary:

Ukraine bad, Russia good. All the videos of Russia bombing cities are fake, they definitely haven't killed any civilians and it's all going great.

Yup I had to apologise to the bairn as I was swearing at the TV, the man had no shame and is an utter disgrace.
The woman doing the translating was too fast and loud, I've had to switch it off as I was getting a headache.

Yeah I've just put the news on. Is he saying it's Ukranian nationalists bombing their own cities?

Not sure tbh, he was either saying it was Ukrainian forces or that they were fake videos. Presumably Ukrainian citizens have also been smashing holes into roads and pavements and putting fake missiles / cluster munition casings in them as well.
