Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[tiptoad]

I find it odd they’re singling us out TBH

Maybe the Russians think they aren't getting their money's worth for their donations.

Is he suggesting that the default position is that people should be sanctioned, if they’re Russian?

If so, why hasn’t mentioned the tens of millions of Russians who have never donated to the Tories, but are also not sanctioned?

Have a problem with understanding plain English, he is talking about Tory donors.

Let’s hope we’re gearing up to announce a no fly zone over Ukraine.

Something seems to be happening

We'll have done something sneaky or backstabbed them probably

Have a problem with understanding plain English, he is talking about Tory donors.

And throughout his “detailed review”, has he found a single donation that was against the U.K. electoral law, came from a person not entitled to vote in the U.K., and/or wasn’t declared properly and publicly?

He seems to have left that part out too.

The thing about the Chinese, India etc… reaction is it will sharp change if Putin keeps up the nuclear rhetoric and they either believe or have intelligence that he might be a bit unhinged.

They may take his side against the West but they are not stupid and they don’t live in a bubble. They know if Putin ever was to fire a first nuke that the ensuing escalation would be anything from a generational catastrophe to existential for them as well.

I doubt we will ever get there but if their intelligence thinks he would ever go down that route he is as much of a threat to them as he is to the West and they would equally want him taken out.

If that happens it literally means we go to war as we're agreeing to defend ukrainian land from russian airforce. We become directly involved

You buy something for a few million, you expect it to work…

Yep. Long overdue.

Prince Andrew has offered to go over and negotiate

They heard he was nearby so went home to protect their daughters

More likely to be delivering supplies. Supplies are flown to a bordering country then driven in.

Yep. Long overdue.

You confident Putin won't go Nuclear?

There's so many links & they've invested cash, I wonder if they consider that they'd bought UK govt & are pissed?

Maybe the Russians think they aren't getting their money's worth for their donations.

Snap

 

[Sweeper]

You confident Putin won't go Nuclear?

Yes. Hugely confident.

Notwithstanding, if he was mental enough to do it, then it’s coming anyway regardless - whether it’s now or on the near future. So there’s nothing to lose by doing the right thing whilst we still can.

 

[Wild Card]

Sounds like an angry ex

Maybe expected better support for all their bribes? Something seems to be a miss. We have done less than some NATO members, yet are being singled out.

Think we will be ok, Russia will be fucked financially for a while.

I know I’m not …

 

[Beery]

Yes. Hugely confident.

What's your confidence based on?
