I’m afraid so, minimise the damage and loss of life. There’s other ways to fight back as has been shown with the financial markets. There’s always more than one way to skin a cat.

Just look at the way we are united on this thread man. Of course we would. You’re the one chucking smears at people who criticise the Tories, and remainers.

I’ve even liked posts from Whed. You can tell Armageddon’s coming.

And I'll speak to what I hear talking to folks around my medium-sized city in Tennessee: yes, they believe Putin is wrong and should be stopped, sanctioned, and isolated.

Look i'm no expert, but is that a good idea? They're clearly weak and on the back foot politically and economically now (maybe militarily too?). Does Europe seemingly humiliating them and attacking them really achieve anything? Sure, call for the end of the conflict, for peace etc. But we need to also leave some way (however hard it is) for Russia/ Putin to back down if they want/ need to. We only have to look at modern European history to see examples of that. Stamping their face into the ground will only tighten the Russian resolve.

The longest period of peace in Europe involved the complete regime change and military neutering of Germany. What it didn't involve was financial punishment.

The issue now with Putin is surely that if he is allowed to go back off, he'll come back with more aggressive Imperial plans in the future. I don't think anyone really gave a f*** about Russia but now by hook or by crook, we are in a world war. He can't threaten the world again.

@Roger @Pancho @AB22 Easy Tiger

Can any of you look into this and stop the left/right wing bile that’s pouring through and the pointless
Off topic arguing

Seems to be a fair bit of tit for tat boring arguing.

Then if you get then if you can’t take politics don’t post. Blah blah crap.

When in reality can you explain why this isn’t on the main board?

War isn’t only political we should all unite shame many would rather suit their own agenda and miss the most important thing.

An explanation at least would be canny like.

Day after day the normal Russian folk are seeing the World turn on Putin.
You won’t stop people talking and the propaganda message keeps getting louder and louder.
Just got to keep the mad bastard and close advisors away from the button and can only hope bravery and common sense prevails within and he is removed from his position, forcibly the only likely opportunity.
