Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Johnny Mars Bar]

On the off chance some Russian spies are reading this, I heard that the entire NATO fleet are currently based on an industrial wasteland on the north west coast of Britain, at the end of a road called the M62. It’d be a shame if it were carpet bombed.

Just be wary of the feral locals.

 

[The blue phantom]

You are fucking deluded.

“I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius.’ Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine – of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful,”

Wasting your time on some posters.

Shells are landin 50m from the polish border, any of them missiles overhit and shit will hit the fan

Our own ruling party is hamstring to an extent thanks to its reliance on russian money. So before we start pointing fingers and saying what we think leftists would do to get the Tories out, maybe look at what the Tories have done to get themselves in.

Or maybe just go old school and judge the government by what it’s (not) doing right now?

I don’t really care about people taking ex-pat Russian money when the world is at peace, as long as that doesn’t interfere in foreign policy when Russia tries to start a major war.

All political donations have strings attached, but at some point you’ve got to cut those strings and do your job.

I've come to the conclusion that the whole human fucking race needs obliterating.
Wipe all human life out with a massive nuclear war and leave the place to whatever creatures survive. Humans (supposably the intelligent form of life) are a fucking nightmare.

The most likely survivors are cockroaches. So no change.

Is it any surprise that Putin wanted Brexit?

Don't think point scoring over tories, labour, brexit or left wingers really matters in this thread.

This is beyond the shitshow the uk has been for 5 years.

Will it though? Does Poland want war with Russia?

We've been taking Russian money for decades. Believe me, it doesn't matter what colour rosette they wear, once they smell that trough.

You could cry mate you really could. 2022 and the world is utterly fucked

This line is trotted out every year.

He praises him for being a smart cookie and seeing his chance. Not for what he is doing.

Shut the fuck up. Trying to defend that is disgusting.

As a nato member any aggresion on nato soil, even accidently is not gonna go without issues.

I agree, we have totally fucked the planet and ourselves.

Broadly speaking we are a disgrace.

When do you think the last year was when everyone Thought things were going well? 8000 BC?

I'm Pot Pol, his long lost cousin.

Or Top Pol, his jewish cousin.

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Shut the fuck up. Trying to defend that is disgusting.

I'm not sure he's going full trump fan and defending him, just pointing out the context of trump's remark - essentially just shit stirring and trying to fan the outrage that keeps him relevent.

1999. Before 9/11 and West Ham winning the biggest European trophy - the intertoto Cup

 

[bluethrunthru]

I live on the N Yorks Moors - usually a place where the RAF come to play - lots and lots of airplanes up there right now

 

[KS55]

Correct, it has been expanding, but by a country's choice, not by force. If Ukraine chose not to join NATO, then it wouldn't be forced to.

Yup. NATO is not a sovereign state so the comparison is false.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

I really can't understand a very wealthy man thinking let's start something that will destabilise the world and potentially lead to his ousting / his death or half the world being blown up by nuclear weapons.
Just sit their quietly with your millions and enjoy the rest of your life spending it quietly....

You would wouldn't you....but that's the easy way and these type of people dont like/do 'easy' and they wouldn't be where they are now if it was easy. Kind of got to admire these types in a strange way for their tenacity, their organisational capability and their ability to see things through.
