Have you read the news over the last couple of weeks mate 😂🤣😂

I was talking from a Western perspective. It obviously has huge strategic importance to Russia but not to us, which is why it was stupid to let this escalate. Unless we're playing 4D chess here and banking on this resulting in Putin being taken out.
 
That canal was mentioned in the youtube video I posted again earlier in the link below. If anyone wants to know a bit more and has 30 mins, it's well worth a watch. As I said, it's informative for the likes of myself who weren't really up to date on the past history and certainly an eye opener.

It suggests it may also possibly be about the 2 richest locations of shale gas in Ukraine that they were going to allow Shell/Esso access to. Because Russia attacked Ukraine in the past then Shell/Esso pulled out and the Russians now have Donbass region near one of those locations.

It's also possible that the Ukraine economic sea zone that contains 2 trillion cubic metres of natural gas which has now been reduced dramatically due to the Russian's taking of Crimea which took an estimated to be 80% of the oil and gas reserves.

Also mentioned is the port city of Sevastopol in Crimea that is one of the few year round ice free ports and how it's valuable. It makes you wonder and I could well believe these are also part of the reason Russia is doing all this and certainly not for the reason of defending Russians from genocide and de-Nazify Ukraine.
It should be reported more. This narrative that he's lost his mind is scaring people into thinking he could nuke the West or start WW3. He hasn't gone mad. He's a deeply cynical, ruthless sociopath but he definitely has objectives that go beyond NATO that every time I turn a telly on people are saying.
Defending Russians from genocide is his WMD's.
 
Not so great viewing the BBC News (8:35pm for those who can rewind/stream) talking about Nuclear Arms Race with the nuclear bombs dropped in WW2 and another dropped in testing and the Cuban Missile Crisis 😣

I reckon they should just have a game of Risk instead but Ukraine's favour to begin with with 10 times as many dice.
 
Trident is the name collectively given to our four nuclear submarines though as I understand it?

They’re only on the Clyde when they’re being maintained or picking up/dropping off aren’t they?
Yes but the fact the Clyde is where they are maintained makes them a target.
 
Where do yous think the safest place in the U.K. will be if he hoyed a cheeky nuke over once he got bored of killing innocent Ukrainians?
In a nuclear bunker somewhere would be my best guess. Anyone got a one lying about anywhere?

What was the alternative? Let him March through Ukraine without doing anything about it? Cos that wouldn’t have escalated!
