Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

I know we aren’t meant to do politics on this thread, but it seems they are almost using a war to try and win votes.
Its a strange rule to not be ā€œpoliticalā€ on a thread like this because a) war is political and b) ā€œpoliticalā€ is subjective.

It’s odd the government do this. They could say, ā€œwe are a sovereign nation and so need to move at a different pace but we are working on itā€ but they seemingly can’t. It always has to be ā€œworld beatingā€ which makes the phrase utterly meaningless and makes the next time they use it utterly unbelievable
 
You’ve whooooshed me there
The point being is you can hardly blame a few thousand Serbs for coming out as pro Russia and for all we know a good percentage of them may well be Russian anyway while we in the west support our allegiance with America who go into the likes of iraq just the same as Russia have for their own ends. That’s in no way mitigating the actions of Russia but I don’t think a whole nation should be judged on a 20 second clip on Twitter.
 
My born and bred Kyiv wife had a row with her friend (Kyiv raised with Russian parent and married to a Russian and they live in Manchester). They're supporting Russia despite living here 20 years and he started shouting at my wife over the phone after he intervened after both our wives started rowing.

My wife told him that if he didn't watch his tongue she send me to Manchester to batter fuck out of him, I've never even met the guy. :lol:
Nice knowing you
