IKEA closing its 17 shops in Russia and not buying any material from Russia or Belarus.
Class. I’m not usually a fan of “cancel culture” but I’m loving this.
He should have stopped being a c**t and offered diplomatic olive branches to the EU while maintaining in good relations with China, he could increased his Gas exports to China as the EU wean themselves off gas, and China wean themselves off coal.Some thoughts
Russia threatening nukes this is normally a sign you can't win the land war - see Nato - USSR 1960-1990 where we depended on nukes to deterre the Red Army as they'd be in Paris in days otherwise. Unless he is just itching to fire a non nuke hypersonic at a Carrier, that would be a game changer globally.
He is desperate to keep us out as a shock and awe NATO response could have us in Moscow by tea time - we don't need to take cities street to street as we aren't staying.
But none of this makes sense other than Russia is facing an existential crisis in the next twenty years as it is wedded to selling fossil fuels and it's customers are wedded to not using them.
You seem to have very odd take on this humanitarian disasterMissed have missed the memo that we all must virtue signal at this moment in time

The stingers it seems are very good for Urban warfare. A bit like the anti tank stuff the West has sent.
They need to have visual on an enemy fighter but apparently very effective for being holed up in a tower block or city building for an ambush and stops enemy aircraft spending too long over cities as it gives time for forces with these Manpads to get setup, track them and get a lock on
Ie if it flies over Ukrainian troops in rural areas they wouldn’t have time to get it out and fire. If a fighter jet is circulating a city looking for targets then they are at risk of being hit
And they an awful lot of trained commanders, generals, war experts, etc, etc whose job it is it to know when to engage troops on the ground…they haven’t, I prefer to trust their judgement and reasoning than yours tbh.I didn't "side step" anything, I just thought it was so silly and pointless an implication that it didn't warrant an answer.
Every single western country has large numbers of trained, professional soldiers whose job it is to - you know, be soldiers.
"Missed have missed"? You what!!!Missed have missed the memo that we all must virtue signal at this moment in time
Sure I read that Matt Hancock had a Zoom meeting with Tory Donors during the pandemic to tell them about NHS contracts etc. (so they can invest in the right companies) and I'm sure it was ÂŁ10k they had to have donated to be on the call or something. Absolutely nothing, they probably all made that on the stock market within ten mins based on the knowledge they learned.Yeah, some of these "donations/bribes" would struggle to buy you a two year old BMW.
You can have sympathy for both ya knar.You have posted odd things on this thread. I have huge sympathy for the Russian soldiers who don’t want to be there. But in terms of things to feel passionate and angry about I’m far more concerned about Ukrainian children being carried out dead from burning buildings then I am about Jeremy Vine’s views on adult soldiers who voluntarily joined the Russian army.
LAGR/NACHO will be refuelling fast jets, there's also been a UK Tanker or two up most days. The rest of the heavies/Duke/Forte etc will be intelligence gathering of some sort.Noticed a couple of NATO but more USAF from small (DUKE..) to large (LAGR, REDEYE..). Even though I know little about what they're doing (other than some useful info @MonkeyLove provided) it's fascinating following them.
