Nah he just has a different opinion to you. No less important.

That’s the impression I got from his statement like. Could be wrong and he may actually be being genuine.

He’s a weasel, that’s why. Corrupt to the hilt.
yes, you detect ICBM launch via satellite or seismic sensors - it why communication channels exist to keep everyone informed of test launches
and neither side would be able to do a first strike decapitation that completely neutralises a counterstrike reply (well America probably could have in the early 50's)
OOOSH YEAH

Abramoviches Statement. Cant help but think he has been very decent here and has to be taken on face value.

A wet wipe opinion. No one said anything about importance of people. I’m sure he doesn’t need you sticking your nose in either lad so jog yourself on
OOOSH YEAH
Striker
Tell me how? I don’t know and would be genuinely interested to see how you came to this conclusion
It isn’t though. He’s advocating no war. The sentiment is nice. If you don’t want people to comment on your thoughts don’t post them on a public discussion board.A wet wipe opinion.

He is an utter gangster. No one got their hands on soviet resources after the break up unless they were ruthless killers.

The government can change the law when they want anyway.
A cynic would suggest they're helping their mates out.
Really is pathetic.

My first contact with you, further back in this thread, didn't start well.
However, you are bang on with inherited instinct, and nurtured feelings.
We are primeval in our desire to protect "ours"
We, as humans, will continue to evolve mentally and emotionally, but that instinct will always be there.
I think we will see how that pans out over time.

Our lass has just pointed out that she wouldn't be surprised if Zelenskyy has lifted his defence strategy from Vimes in the Discworld books.
"After a while, someone raised the question of the fighting, which clearly needed to be taken care of. There were scuffles all along the barricade now, but they were going only one way. Siege ladders had been brought up and at several places along the parapet men had managed to climb in. But they could never get enough in one place. There were far more defenders than attackers, and they weren't all men under arms. One thing Vimes was learning fast was the natural vindictiveness of old ladies, who had no sense of fair play when it came to fighting soldiers; give a granny a spear and a hole to jab it through, and young men on the other side were in big trouble. And then there was Reg Shoe's inspired idea of the use of steak dinners as a weapon. The attackers did not come from homes where steak was ever on the table. Meat tended to be the flavouring, not the meal. But here and there men who'd achieved the top of the ladders, in darkness, with the groans and yells of their unsuccessful comrades below them, had their weapons dragged from their hands by well-fed former colleagues who were not unkind and who directed them down the ladder inside for steak and eggs and roast chicken and a promise that every day would be like this, come the revolution. Vimes didn't want that news to get out, in case there was a rush to invade. But the grannies, oh, the grannies . . . The neighbourhoods of the Republic were a natural recruiting ground for the regiments. It was also an area of big families and matriarchs whose word was family law. It had almost been cheating, putting them on the parapet with a megaphone during the lulls. 'I knows you're out there, our Ron! This is your Nan! You climb up one more time and you'll feel the back of my hand! Our Rita sends her love and wants you to hurry home. Grandpa is feeling a lot better with the new ointment! Now stop being a silly boy!' It was a dirty trick, and he was proud of it. Messages like that sapped a fighting spirit better than arrows. And then Vimes realized there were no more men on the ropes and ladders. He could hear yells and groans below, but those soldiers who could stand were withdrawing to a safe distance."

You’re barking up the wrong tree trying to get a reaction out of me, you’re by far the most dull and attention seeking poster on this forum and I’m absolutely zero interested in talking to you

Stunning. Net proceeds given to Ukraine could total more than some entire nations have donated. They'll be worth 1bn maybe?
Fair play I say.
Got a better PR company than Vlad.

V true. But he's selling & mentioned Ukraine by name & will be giving a huge amount of money to them. If they're still there like...
