Russian invasion of Ukraine

My late grandad fought with the Gurkhas in WW2 in Burma. I remember him telling me when I was a kid how amazingly brave and fearless they were, he said it was the greatest honour of his life to fight beside those guys.
My dad, who fought alongside them in Malaya, says exactly the same. He owes his life to them and so do I.
 
The best hope for this lies in this country, or southern Spain or Monaco. The oligarch billionaires that live in Mayfair or Knightsbridge, or Puerto Banus or the French Riviera are probably losing a million quid a day each with all this and the sanctions. How long will they wear that? An uprising from within once they get hit in the pocket is the best hope and the most realistic. Putin has lost it clearly. Money men won't have and they won't have it for long. Pres Biden knows this and that is why he spent two weeks telling the world this was happening imminently. He was mobilising the opposition. Boris Johnson has some clout here given the oppo live in London. They are waiting for an internal Russian leadership conflict, I think anyway
 
Fuck Russia I think you should face aggression with aggression and what will be will be he’s calling all the shots
We’ve sent the British army (as have other NATO armies) to the Ukraine borders in Romania and Lithuania.

They’ve collectively lost £23.5bn in two days.

Gennady Timchenko woke up this morning and had lost £5bn overnight.
 
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.

Lol

More reactionary nonsense. Double down on military spending?
 
I edited my Post it seems the missiles are being mobilised for a parade mate.
Ok I think if nato and the USA deployed ships military submarines etc etc etc he’d shit it he’s a bully who does what he does because he can, I know Ukraine are not in nato but you can’t stand by and watch innocent people being slaughtered by a madman
 
Quite humbling watching ordinary Ukrainians with no military experience taking up arms against an invading army.

People with guts… and at times like this you need guts…. In short supply amongst our western politicians and leaders…. Ukraine stands on the brink and they are rolling out sanctions like they’ve got all the time in the world.… still can’t fathom why they didn’t throw the kitchen sink on Monday? What possible good does fazing do - Putin isn’t gonna turn around and go home now.

Unfortunately Johnson has long been in the pocket of oligarchs like Lebedev

Well I'd take the opinion of the head of the German Army over some other worldly loon for sure.

When a nation or alliance is threatened they need to have a credible counter threat. The 'why can't we all just get along' stuff just doesn't cut it.
