BBC coverage has been a 'shit' today on this. Had on, mostly just in the background, for most of the day. Lots of interviews etc but unless I've missed it very little footage of what is happening on the ground has been shown. Via Twitter I have seen plenty - both uploaded from the public but also from other news outlets around the world.
They'll want to make 110% sure footage from Twitter etc is what it says it is.

I've seen a couple of things on Sky News they say they've verified but by that time the footage has been online for hours.
 
Seeing all this unfold is absolutely heartbreaking. I’m a relatively new dad, and to think there may be children that will never get a chance to become the human they could have been absolutely kills me inside. A lot of innocent people are going to pay the ultimate price for this mad man’s egotistical March on another nations sovereignty. This isn’t call of duty, it’s f***ing frightening.

In peace children bury their parents,
In war parents bury their children.

This is very much bothering me today as well.
Its a horrible feeling.
 
Agent Tucker coming up 'Trumps' for Putin
I wonder if Murdoch is happy with this?
Tucker Carlson echoed Putin's talking points on Fox News, arguing the US should not care about Russia invading Ukraine

Russian TV even using him to corroborate Pro-Kremlin stories. :lol:


It just shows when the hard right have to make a choice over their country or ideology then the ideology wins every time. Shameful and a few on here have followed Fox News and Carlson in.

Al Jazeera has been pretty good...not watched it before but good reporting IMO
 
Why shouldn’t any of them be able to join? They’re independent nations and free to do what they like.
Aye in a utopian world marra but we all know it doesn't work like that - I wonder how JFK would have answered your question in 1962 if you'd broached it re: Cuba joining the Warsaw Pact, any idea??..

If they'd taken a different path they wouldn't have part of the Russian military using their home forces for target practice.

When it comes to international politics bullying is exactly what happens.

Ukraine is now being whipped into line and will probably be under Putins heel until he croaks.

There's not a damn thing any of us are going to do about it which is why Vlad is thumbing his nose at us.
In reference to your third line get a f***ing grip of yourself man, there’s people dying
 
Ukrainan MP on Sky saying they've lost a lot of territory in the south but seems to be bashing them back in other places. But now they're trying to go through Chernobyl so theyre fighting there. 100 russian deaths, 60 Ukraine deaths. The military is well prepared he says for this.
That’s 160 too many deaths BUT when you see the level of attacks that are going on, I can’t help but feel those numbers are very conservative.
 
How can anyone want f***ing war when this is possible man. People have disagreements, f***ing argue throw a few fists, but fuck me, after thousands of years on the planet we still have to resort to wars and killing each other.

I’m not some soft shite Mother Nature type, but it’s just pathetic man. The world as a whole needs to grow the fuck up, it’s always the public that suffer because of there shit.
That video is going to stay with me for a long time and I couldn’t even watch to the end. Horrific.
 
I do hope so.. the propaganda machine in Russia twists minds worse than the UK tabloids
You've got to think pr wise the Russians have been terrible here, they mass troops at the border... We aren't going to attack its a training exercise.
They are going to attack.....we aren't going to attack and are withdrawing our troops.
They are going to declare eastern Ukraine independent.... They do.
We are only going to help in the east of the country...... Invades the central capital and bombs the western areas.
They invade and claim the west are breaking international laws.
 
Well its either true or not. In your opinion which is it and why?
Awacs, AI, better missile targeting to name a few. All of the major technical advances work towards defence. Basically we are getting near the limits of offensive missile tech, whereas we have been making huge leaps in defensive tech. Iron Dome for example.
