You and me and everyone else. If there is a diplomatic solution which means Ukraine is an independent sovereign nation with its borders intact then great.

Conceding land to an invasion is not a solution. In five years time they invade again, so we let them have more land. How far do we keep letting them go with diplomatic solutions…through Europe to Germany?

No one wants WW3. But if we have to have WW3 to defeat Putin and tyranny in defence of the free world, then we have to have WW3.

Sad but true.
 
Good to see the Ukrainians still have heavy weapon capabilities of their own. Artillery and shelling here a Russian forward base outside Kiyv

They had tons of artillery at the start of the war. They haven’t really used much partly due to the tactical way they are fighting.

But good to know it’s not been destroyed as could be invaluable for counterattacks or attacking Russian formations when they inevitably have to base

Which part of it bothers you: that it's such a brazen lie or that they actually expect people to believe it?

People WILL believe it unfortunately. That’s what pisses me off the most.

They can say whatever they want, completely unchecked and some people out there will believe it. Just look at the Savile smear they aimed at Starmer and then doubled down on. Look at the ‘world leading’ propaganda. It’s infuriating and frustrating in equal measure.

Nothing me or thee can do about it mate, he knows it’s the end of Russia also, and I doubt it fits his end game as he wants himself to be idolised reforming the Soviet Union.
Whatever happens he’s f*cked Russia now.
China will step in to tell him to wind his neck in.

Just a reminder that I'm American and am familiar with these things. The look you get on people's faces when you explain to them that the movie Borat was mostly making fun of the US rather than Kazakhstan is priceless.

The ability and willingness of people to close their eyes to the size of the world and the factual relationship of their own nation to the entirety of the world never ceases to amaze me.

I totally ignored it all yesterday, no news or anything, I think sometimes you have to, but I want to know what’s happening so I’m looking at the news and this thread again today but I’m totally ignoring videos and photos as much as possible. They are just too awful xx
