Surely not, a wannabee superpower running out of resources before two weeks against a landlocked neighbour?

I really hope that is 100% true. The Ukrainian resistance will last long beyond Sunday.

#BoycottCocaCola already trending

This from Coca Cola, could end up going down as one of the daftest business decisions in the history of capitalism.

Old school Russians possibly but I think the youngun are much more savvy

Totally agree, from what I’ve seen read (admittedly I’m no expert) so I could be totally wrong, it seems the older, poorer Russians are in his thrall. The younger ones know there is a world out there not dictated by Putin

That site seems to be on the ball one I’ve been using

that’s a total spin of facts, we don’t rely on Russian energy, just 5% of our gas comes from Russia, the real problem has been pressure groups who have effectively stopped the development of nuclear energy and fracking in U.K., had we done more in those areas we would not only of been self proficient in energy we’d of had a very balanced energy industry

I'm sure $95 million came from Russia to help fund these groups as well.

On the contrary I think Biden’s playing this right. Keeping the US profile as low as he can as not to fan the flames, whilst quietly running a lot of the resistance stuff.

Aye, maybe I'm expecting a bit too much. Just seems to me that Europe is getting all the shit.

On the rations part, We were given rations that were out of date on exercise in basic training. Only thing we were told to avoid was the tinned cheese

My Dad on his National service in 1958 reckoned he got ww2 ration Mars bars he said they had turned white.
Not sure if he was having me on like!

You’d hope so but I heard an interview with a woman earlier who was so upset saying her mam didn’t believe anything and that none of it was Russia’s fault

Heard that on the radio on the drive home. Also all the Russians interviewed by tv crew inside Russia are all brainwashed by the propaganda they’ve been fed.

Probably wasn’t having you on it happens some of the stuff you had would have been more effective as a weapon

Surely ya smart thinking Russian is thinking there’s a rabbit away here?

We have two Russian lads with us at the moment. They know fine well what’s going on. Same as millions of others. This is 2022 not 1936. Putin can’t do what Stalin did. This is a new generation of tech savvy smart people. He can shut down as much social media as he likes but he can’t hide the truth of what he’s done.

Yes. I’ve read up a bit about it now. It seems they’ve put it in the public domain after a long time.

Put allegedly as I didn’t want to be libellous against a wass American company.

I got a few good Russian mates & they're 100% aware. They hate him & they're embarrassed & ashamed to be Russian at the min.
