Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[Cow]

I’m not saying that. I have family in their 80s that are tech savvy. The Russian people are no less capable than us. I know people who live and work in the area and that’s what they’ve told me. It has been backed up by some of the interviews on tv. I respect this is a small demographic mind.

Just got to look at the fact that there are protests, proves that Russians are aware of what’s going on regardless of what the state are telling them. I’d like to think that that is a pretty good barometer of the feeling within Russia.

 

[Harry Angstrom]

No, it’s you that isn’t getting it.

This is political, whether you like that or not. Just take @Cow ‘s advice and get on with it.

Anyway, I thought you had me on ignore?!

I took you odd when it came on here. I prefer not to use the button but it made the thread more relevant to me. I've stuck you back on.

 

[herra soul mob]

now possibly isn't the time but will there be an enquiry into Russian funding of the tory party once this has blown over ?

Woah, don’t be tagging me into a conflict between you and @Harry Angstrom, that’s how wars escalate you know, I’ll sit back and watch how it unfolds before deciding if it’s worth getting involved. (See what I did there?)

Aye, probably best you do stick him on ignore if you’re of such soft morals.

Better to ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears, etc.

Just saying something is fact over and over again doesn’t mean it is.

It won't on this thread and I have already been sucked into a petty discussion for which I apologise.

I highly doubt it.

Don’t mention politcs though herra, you’ll make @Harry Angstrom cry.

Just saying something is fact over and over again doesn’t mean it is.

So this conflict isn’t political? Is that what you’re saying?

Give your head a shake mate, there’s no need for any apologies dafty.

Anyway….there’s a war going on in Ukraine…

 

[Mercia Blackcat]

I highly doubt it.

Oh come on. I think you're getting a bit carried away. He just wants the thread to be focused on what's happening in Ukraine. The politics doesn't bother me but I see his point and I doubt he's crying over it.

 

[OOOSH YEAH]

Just got to look at the fact that there are protests, proves that Russians are aware of what’s going on regardless of what the state are telling them. I’d like to think that that is a pretty good barometer of the feeling within Russia.

I don’t think much will happen with regards to pressure on the government until the economic sanctions really start to hit home Over there. Sadly by then Kiev will probably been flattened. Sad to say I don’t think the president will survive much longer either. Hope I’m wrong like.

I highly doubt it.

Don’t mention politcs though herra, you’ll make @Harry Angstrom cry.

Give over mate. He has a point. He’s wanting this to stay on topic. Nowt wrong with that. Pack it in eh?

To those crying about it, watch the video and still tell us all that it isn’t political.

Calm down or log off for a bit

Ive come on every lunchtime to check what’s been happening. Today Ive had to scroll through several posts of your boring political ramblings. It’s been the best source of news since the invasion began, keep it that way.

I keep reading that Russia have miscalculated the Ukraine resolve, however I’m beginning to think that this was always part of Putin’s plan to send it a smaller more inexperienced and less violent, dare I say it sacrificial force to try and roll in to Ukraine and take control, with population, buildings and infrastructure intact.

With Ukraine’s resolve being so strong we are now seeing Putin’s Plan B to send in the heavy artillery and more experienced forces. Leads me to think that the Russians were aware of Ukraine inability to challenge its large convoys all along and that the Russian tactics aren’t quite as archaic as first thought? Clearly the UN sanctions may not have formed part of his plans.

I have no military experience nor an enthusiast so could be well off the mark, but feels like Russia maybe slightly more in control than they are being given credit for which if true is slightly more worrying.

Someone who surrounds himself with yes men will inevitably make a massive cock up, this is it, these yes men may still not be telling him what’s really occurring in Ukraine.

There will be a tipping point it just depends where that tipping point is.

Funny enough its the usual tory apologists on here who disagree with you.

The tories should be ashamed of their associations and give every grubby penny they have received off the Russians back in humanitarian aid to Ukraine.

Maybe you are right I just find it hard to believe that they would have been so arrogant, particularly as I’m sure Putin was a former foreign intelligence officer in the KGB.
