Russian invasion of Ukraine

[nellyonthewing]

I can't see this lasting long, they might come under some resistance, but russia are steamrolling over Ukraine and it won't stop until the Russians get what they want, very sad in this day and age

Sadly I think you're right . It will however develop into an urban guerrilla war.

So we can spend what we like, never have to raise taxes and everyone's a winner? You're a genius mate. WTF have none of the great minds and great economists of the last 100 years though of this? Incredible.

(Genius being a euphemism).

You lied when you said that you weren't Arron Banks didn't you?

@Prestwich_Blue has already given an eloquent response to you. Go read up on MMT. No one said it was unlimited.

Unfortunately there are a few people on this website who prefer to construct strawmen rather than engage in good faith.

There are some who do this unconsciously.

And I'm sure you are aware that government putting up taxes takes money out of the economy and slows down growth.

It’s not genius to close your mind off to new knowledge.

That footage of the tank deliberately driving over that car has really shaken me. Putin or his sidekick should be publicly asked to justify it.

A lot of people have said it was actually a Ukrainian tank and it was a driver who had lost control when making a turn.

Anonymous now saying they have hacked the Russian ministry of defence website which contained loads of private information, which they have published on their twitter feed.

Just had a look but don’t see anything?

Thats coz they're anonymous....

Quite humbling watching ordinary Ukrainians with no military experience taking up arms against an invading army.

Yes it is

There was another video of a tank just losing it coming around a roundabout earlier today as well.

I can't imagine they're particularly easy to drive at speed in the cold conditions.

the point isnt to destroy the capital though. he just wants to remove the government and installed his own. Its looking more and like he was so arrogant he thought Ukraine would crumble and surrender. This wont be over quick, maybe from an actual military point of view. this is guerilla warfare. house to house, street by street. When will dictators learn that you can never occupy a nation that refuses to be occupied - its just going to get very brutal, very bloody and very bitter. what you have seen yesterday and today was nothing. This is the when the real fighting starts. the rest was all about strategic positioning

A platoon should be enough.

You don't fuck with the Ghurkas'. Whilst I was based in Hong Kong, a Ghurka who was being particularly badly treated by his Captain, got his revenge by putting a bomb in the guys desk. As he opens the drawer it triggered the bomb and the Captain died.

 

[west didsblue]

Yes it is

If people in the west can’t endure a few hardships so that Russia can be sanctioned to the maximum extent possible they should be ashamed of themselves.

My son recently married the daughter of a retired Ghurka major ( highest rank they are allowed to reach).
Lovely quiet man but very serious.
Presented me with a ceremonial Khukuri.

You are aware that if a Khukuri is drawn from it's sheath/ scabbard, it has to draw blood before it is re-sheathed?
Usually a small nick to a finger is sufficient, but if not then you may have to let it bite a bit deeper!!!

Fuck Russia I think you should face aggression with aggression and what will be will be he’s calling all the shots

Very much this.

Our response to Putin shapes the next 50/100 years of Europe. It matters not a bit if he backs down tonight. The response stays the same as do the sanctions if not more and only his removal brings this to an end now.

There was a young Ukrainian lad on earlier who was queuing up to give blood (long queues of people trying to up the blood stocks) and then was off to defend his neighbourhood.

Spot on!

 

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

One thing has become very clear in the last few days and that is the days of freeloading NATO members relying on the US, UK and France to be the countries that can actually do any fighting are over. When the head of the German Army goes on LinkedIn to essentially say that their army is a fucking joke then governments have to wake up and start to spend on their defence. Having a woke 'peace keeping' touchy feely organisation isn't the same as having combat ready armed forces.

No wonder Putin is laughing his bollocks off.

What does that actually mean?

I can't find anything for a '4 ICBM' or a ICBM-4
