Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

Not open for further replies.

Sure lets make a big space in the country defending unbitable right...
Just unravelling a "plot" to destroy it will gain points. Its a political battle as well as a war.

It took something huge to get the americans to join WW2. NATO are showing no signs of joining so something needs to happen to make that change
 
another really interesting theory on their lack of equipment is that the russians are using bog standard civie navigational equipment, like the gamin shown in the image of this russian cockpit (from Syria in 2014).
this could explain why they aren't using any jamming equipment as it would affect them the most.

Are we witnessing genuine human concern, or the ability of global state-corporate interests to sell essentially the same story over and over again? The same bad guy: Milosevic, Bin Laden, Saddam, Gaddafi, Assad and Putin; the same Good Guys: US, UK, NATO and ‘our’ obedient clients; the same alleged noble cause: freedom, democracy, human rights; the same means: confrontation, violence, a flood of bombs and missiles (‘the best ones’). And the same results: control of whole countries, massively increased arms budgets, and control of natural resources.

Also, is this Johnsons Falklands moment?
 
Just watching SkyNews, that woman was brutal to that MP.

He was trying to dodge questions but she just called him out. Called Boris a liar. Claimed 100 people have been sanctioned, she said its a lie and that sky news know its only 50 people so why did Boris say 100?

She would not let him avoid the question. eventually he just said he had to go and couldn't answer anymore questions
Good work 👍

Didn't Russia ban this sort of thing a few days ago?

I was brought up in the back streets of a Durham pit village. Me dad worked for the NCB. Me mam worked in a care home. I’ve done well for meself. My children have degrees and now they all have their own businesses. All on the back of hard work and state education.

As a working class lad I would never send my kids to public school and neither would my children send our grand kids.

It’s not inverted snobbery. It’s principles. Nobody should get an advantage because they can afford to pay for it.
You get an advantage by moving to areas with better schools, if you can afford it.

If that's the case I can see the Yanks kicking off something in Syria to keep them all occupied at home. I shouldn't imagine that it would be difficult. Besides the help that the Syrians can expect to get from the Russians should something start there is going to be much reduced.

The idea that the Russian Army has to bring in Syrian troops to show them how to deal with urban warfare - if true - is an indication of how inadaquate the Russian militray has become.
 
Long destroyed Russia National guard convoy. These are the troops that they will use to occupy the cities and keep order.

Just keeps going in the video. Must be 40 vehicles

There's similarities, a really down bad Prime Minister on the verge of being booted out enters a conflict where it's beyond reckless to change leadership at this moment in time. But that's where the similarities end.

Maggie made the correct call to enter conflict regarding the Falklands
Boris has no influence of the outcome in Ukraine

It's like Partygate has completely been forgotten about, nice timely intervention for him

Are you insinuating the Syrian Civil War has ended, because it's not on the news anymore?

It's good enough reason to believe the article is a load of nonsense, Syrian gangsters on the way despite an ongoing war in their own country. No wonder people believed Boris about the NHS bus!

Perhaps a civil war?
