Russian invasion of Ukraine

[marco]

Putin has ordered nuclear deterrence forces on high alert.

id imagine they have been on alert from the begining and also in the west,so prob dick waving i think

 

[SWP's back]

That’s a very simplistic view.

UAE are fighting as part of the Saudi lead coalition who are fighting with and for the Yemen National Army (with support from the UK on that side as well) against Iran backed insurgents who tried to overthrow the Hadi govt.

It’s fucking criminal what they are doing in Yemen with Saudi and a stain on Britain that they’re using our arms for it.

Jesus. He's got to be the worst Russian since Sean Connery in The Hunt for Red October

Connery was trying to defect as far as I recall.

 

[mosssideblue]

Unless the mad bugger feels so cornered that he hits the red button and wipes out Kiev first. Then some other city further away ...

That's assuming those who actually press the trigger do so

 

[BlueAnorak]

Why don’t NATO invade Belarus?

Do you really want to start WW3?

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

The nuclear word being banded about now doesn’t sound great

Putin has ordered nuclear deterrence forces on high alert.

Yeah. Shows the war ain’t going well for him, doesn’t fill me with joy though.

Estimated 4,300 Russians troops killed in Ukraine - reports​

Ukrainian Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Malya has suggested that an estimated 4,300 Russian servicemen have been lost during the invasion of Ukraine.

It is understood that Moscow has lost 146 tanks, 27 aircraft and 26 helicopters in the conflict so far.

If true great news, can NATO use drones via satellite to take out Russian tanks and artillery?

Surely Kremlin officials need to start talking to Putin as this feels it's getting out of control

 

[Bazzmand Show]

This is going downhill rapidly, I've thought he might lose it and just go all in.

they’re all petrified of him.

I lightheartedly said the following throwaway comment the other day and I'm starting to think there might even be a little truth to it now with his latest utterances:

"I think Putin has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and just wants to take the rest of the world with him."

 

[smudgedj]

Yeah. Shows the war ain’t going well for him, doesn’t fill me with joy though.

That Russian general doesn’t look impressed.

Am hoping it's both an empty threat/reminder to NATO and also propaganda for the Russian public (in that his cause/actions are "just" and NATO are the aggressor, not him).

 

[Uptop]

Yeah. Shows the war ain’t going well for him, doesn’t fill me with joy though.

I would like to think the same, that he is just using the nuke as a show of strength as they are looking weak. You would maybe assume that as they havent resorted to full on destruction of cities they wont yet resort to nuclear weapons.

If they start to level cities then you have to worry he has completely lost him mind and hope someone removes him before he goes too far (or even further, he already has gone too far).

No doubt but it’s still not good to hear from a fucking despotic mad man.

someone’s going to have to take the **** out from within.

 

[mancityvstoke]

Ides of March soon

 

[Blue Smarties]

Pardon my ignorance but how wrong am I in thinking it'll end only when somebody offs him?

Whatever happens from here, it’s quite apparent he won’t be around for long once the dust settles.

 

[bluethrunthru]

Not speaking Russian to me he could be ordering burger and fries there tbh......... however the faces on Mo and Curley told you quite a lot
