Thankfully he lets an enemy of the free world bomb an independent nation into smithereens? Riiiight.

No fly zone the least we should be doing.


Take out Putin with a targeted attack. No fly zone. Bomb Russian military installations around the border and the columns moving on Kyiv.

If it is WW3 it will be a very short one.

An NFZ is basically a declaration of war. To do an NFZ you have to be prepared to bomb and kill Russians (and probably civilians by accident) on the Russian side of the border because their air defences have to be suppressed to make the NFZ viable. Do you then think the Russians will be prepared to stand by and watch that happen? There seems to be a groundswell of opinion, mostly non military, that we should do it anyway and simply dismiss the risk. Lunacy.

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

Defend the southern border, keep the supply lines coming from Poland through Lviv I would guess.

Time decay is on Ukraine's side, it's a war that will be ultimately lost eventually but the longer it goes on the more chance Putin is overthrown.
 
Why is this knob head on Sky banging on about Russia being invaded by Germany in 41? They invaded the other half of Poland, which the Russians had invaded in 39, first. Hardly any of ww2 was actually fought on their soil ffs. Belarus/Ukraine took the brunt of it. German forces never made it further than the line Leningrad-Moscow-Stalingrad.

This shit needs correcting, instead our press go along with it. Wankers.

Rumours on Twitter (I know :oops:) that his generals are preparing a coup. Wish they’d hurry up and assassinate Putin.

Is that not just Chinese whispers from the Twitter thread saying that, because the Russians were using open channels, Ukrainians were using them to send messages to the invading troops saying the generals are preparing a coup so turn back and head for Russia?

Potentially. The first word of my post was ‘Rumours’.

He'll be doing well if he can verify stuff like this mind.
