Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[spitfire]

Oh I’m sorry Spitty, for one minute I thought this was the non-political non-arsey thread. My mistake.

It's inventive isn't it.

 

[Lonz]

Russian and Belarusian Paralympic athletes allowed to compete in the Paralympic Games, under a “neutral” team.

Wrong decision imo.

Yanukovych

The political equivalent of bringing Grant Holt off the bench, telling him to get warm, and believing he is the man to save you.

The bloke would be “Mussolini’d” before he could make it to Kyiv, he’s an absolute clown and the Ukrainians are clearly not brainwashed fools

 

[janey]

I was visualising him getting pulled through the screen and given a good shoeing xx

I’d love to have seen it

 

[OOOSH YEAH]

You always know that you’ve made a telling point on here as the abuse starts flowing

They’ve ran out of steam. Said this yesterday you ask a question if something is right or wrong and people who know they’re doing something wrong attack you straight away. I come on here to see different opinions to help me make my mind up.

What Russia fail to realise is that in this day and age, we live in Social Media etc world, which is a huge hurdle for the Ruski's to overcome. The truth can no longer be hidden and their propaganda machine just seems... old school, where the west have embraced modern methods of sharing information.

They have the ability to control / switch off social media .... that won't go down well though

Perhaps an overthrow could be on the cards with half of his military hardware mired in the Ukraine mud ...

The richest class will be furious that they can no longer access western luxuries ( and that their savings are now frozen )

The middle class will be appalled that they are basically no longer allowed to holiday in The west - and that a new iron curtain is falling restricting their freedoms

And the poorest will be appalled that their savings cannot now buy even the daily groceries ....

A lot of potential for unrest then ?

I think the west's best policy is simply to stand back & tighten the financial screw and let Russia implode from the Inside

.... And in the meantime diligently build up our protective forces to convince Putin that NATO woukd crush him if he ever dared to go further

That's the real issue here man, forget about Russia and Ukraine. It's bonkers like.

Politics sub mob. An angry bunch

 

[Lankester Merrin]

Yes I know. That’s why I said never made it further. They surrounded Leningrad. Never made it beyond Moscow and never went further than Stalingrad. That’s about 25%(maybe even less?) of Russia. Ukraine and Belarus’s were completely destroyed.

It may be only 25% of Russias landmass, but huge chunks of Russia are almost empty.

I think you might be being a bit pedantic

I do however take your point about Russian invading parts of Poland. A friend of mines dad was one of the Poles captured and sent to Siberia by the Russians. After Operation Barbarossa the Brits persuaded the Russians to release their Polish prisoners to form a free Polish army. In order to join the Brits they had to travel from Siberia to Iran, marching most of the way. From Tehran he saw service in Africa, before joining the Paras. He fought at Arnhem. Only died a couple of years ago.

You're making a serious accusation. The votes were not rigged.

And your making a fool of yourself

Again

Seems mean to ban the disabled. Right thing to do but I can’t help imagining them slowly wheeling away in wheelchairs looking glum.

Seen a few videos on twitter that suggest there are a very large number of Russian kids missing arms and legs right now, they're gonna have a great pool of potential athletes for the next one.

“Yeah that was fun dad. But what can I watch Lego Ninjago on now?”

Victoria Derbyshire was losing her shit there with a Moscow based academic on bbc2. Gan on lass, rip apart his f***ing lies

I wanted to reach into the telly and slap him about with his own pocket square. The prick.

This kills me to say it but Biden is sounding really confident and like an actual president

Why?

 

[Amokachi]

There weren't many people calling for Russia to be banned when they were bombing Syria into dust. Strange that.

 

[OOOSH YEAH]

Doesn’t seem fair. It seems like banning an egg and spoon race kid and their dad at a sports day cos they’re mags.

Cos they had brown faces and were muzzies innit.

Yes considering a load of Paralympians are ex forces maybe we should be looking at war records

 

[The Truth]

She could barely contain herself in fact I think she did well to contain herself as much as she did

You can actually pinpoint the very second she gives up all hope of a reasonable answer to the original question
