Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[Dinsdale]

The only real thing right now we can do to stop it is Wade in now I’m not saying that’s the right decision. But it’s one of the options.

On the ground I feel nato would manage Russia with ease that convoy for example would be smashed to bits in no time.

But what’s stopping us is the potential of a nuclear war

We are stuck in between a rock and a hard place.

I’ve no doubt NATO troops are ready and waiting but that’s the last resort which could eventually come.

Also worth noting one of Putins aims was to make NATO weaker. He's single handedly made them stronger with increased funding from member nations, and I would expect Finland and Swede join soon. He's absolutely fucked himself. I reckon a few of his military advisors will have "taken ill" and disappeared

It’s also rubbish.

Said the rest of europe in 1938

So this makes the decision not to blow up the big out outside of Kyiv all the more interesting.

Easier to raid?

 

[Mackem Mad]

He should be put out to grass ASAP. He’s dangerous as the supposed leader of the western world in the current situation.

He’s played a blinder so far as has Johnson.

They are keeping us out of direct military confrontation with Russia. That is sound common sense.

See if he is true to his word about those two getting attacked if they look to join.

Leader of the Western world left Washington many years ago… another outcome of this might be people wake up to the world leader of the world liberal coalition has moved to Europe.

Why was Farage bemoaning on Twitter asking why Biden wasn’t in Europe leading? Is it because the USA has pivoted away and a stronger EU is now in that position, but Farage backed the wrong horse when it came to European policeman.

Also why Germany has decided to rearm. We can’t rely on the US any more. Their focus is on China.

It is until at present but it cant last forever if putin keeps going

 

[Lumber]

Everyone agrees Russia is guilty of war crimes.

Doesn't mean we are allowed to do it back. Yes we have the right to defend ourselves but we have to be right when doing it.

In reality I wouldn't give a fuck if we were being invaded, i'd do everything i could, no rules

Wey there ya gan mara, cant box Mike tyson with ya hands behind ya back

 

[cfg]

Have we actually applied any sanctions to the oligarchs who hide their ill gotten gains in London or is it all noise as usual?

 

[Lumber]

A thing Russia has done for atleast a decade now in Syria, but because it's happening in Europe why the sudden outrage?

If they say you can't use or do XYZ then not police it, then it's a bit pointless? I highly doubt the coppers from The Hague are gonna jump on a plane, put their sirens on and walk through Moscow with handcuffs.

I'm always outraged

Seems euphemistic really. Won’t call it an invasion. The ‘regret’ seems to be aimed at both sides with some blame apportioned to NATO and the West.

Also when Chinese ministers have spoken they’ve directly criticised the term ‘invasion’ as a Western idea about the ‘conflict’.

It's not so much the vocab as it is the sentiment. Russia and chine are usually aligned. The fact they've said this is more important than the words.

Looks like they’ve all been shopping. Probably for food that they desperately need.

They don’t look like they have bags for life there. Probably a wise move.

I don’t think we have. See Abramovich.

We are in 2022 now.

The world changed for the worse in 1945 with the first use of nuclear weapons, weapons that, used now, would annihilate humanity.

We have no right whatsoever to urge actions that will vaporise our children and grandchildren.

NATO would obliterate Putin and his army and he knows it. That's why he keeps throwing the nuclear word into conversations. Makes us reluctant to go in because we believe he won't hesitate to use them.

Agree entirely. There is already a war going on wether we like it or not. We are choosing (and rightly so) to try and nullify it at present rather than attack it. If that doesnt work then it'll get attacked.

Should poison the food in areas about to be overtaken and spoil the fuel.

We also have the problem by not stepping in it could still escalate, it Finland etc join nato Russia have also threatened nuclear war.
