Been brewing ever since the pro Russian Government was overthrown in Ukraine in 2014(?). All this goading stuff is shite
The elected Pro-Russian government was overthrown when they refused to turn their back on Russia in favour of the EU. The coup was supported by many in the West, but lots of Ukraine were against it, particularly the Russian speaking areas with strong ties to Russia. Russia moved in to support some of these areas - Crimea etc.

Russia are ultimately responsible for war, but what the hell were the EU (and NATO) thinking?! These organisations were meant to be about peace, not endless expansion.
 

Imagine being a soldier and knowing something like this can rain down on you at any moment.

These are apparently Russians but none the less that’s a lot of families that have lost loved ones in one single blast.
 
Mate, naval air defence systems have always been playing catch up with new missiles, since the days of Sea Cat and Sea Wolf and Goalkeeper tried to defend against Exocet, and they have never caught up.
 
sorry, i'm not getting it

are you saying that its ok for Russia to invade Ukraine because Cuban exiles failed to invade Cuba

the Cuban Missile crisis occurred because no US government was ever going to allow Soviet nukes within 100 miles of the lower 48

this is'nt even close - this is Russia invading Ukraine because he does'nt want NATO on his doorstep, despite the fact that 5 other NATO countries currently share a land border with him (and if he annexes Ukraine this number increases to 8)

he's a barmpot
The 100mile redline that you mention from the lower 48, remind me again how close is Ukraine to the Russian border and even if we discount Ukraine as moot (which it is as he's made sure we don't let them join) tell us how far the newer NATO members you mention are from the Russian border compared to your 100mile redline and then tell me Vlad doesn't have a point, it's as if you're saying he let Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia et al join so why the problem with Ukraine - I'm sorry like but in my book 4 (or more) wrongs don't make a right..
