Russia must be greasing the palms of a few African countries, surprised how many of them abstained, I was unaware of major Russian presence on that continent.
Is it merely symbolic ? A token gesture ? Seems like a load of shite to meBut what does this actually do though? He's hardly gonna say 'it's a fair cop' and just stop.
It's another dictatorship, wikipedia says there are less press freedoms than in north korea.Wtf do the Russians have on Eritrea ?
they have a point on that though:I love how Russia moans about US bases in other countries yet ^

Ok, I’m finished. No one is topping this post. Brilliant.At least they'll know how much grealish cost.
They've agreed where the conference table will sit.Moscow saying there is some common ground in potential peace talks. Really hope this true, but obviously not confident.
Goodthey have a point on that though: View attachment 37682
And that's just US...

And adding in the other NATO and ANZAC's ... it's quite a lot of bases.List of countries with overseas military bases - Wikipedia

China certainly are. Friend of mine is very senior in the military and China are the worry long term rather than Russia, although to be fair, that was before this kicked off.Russia must be greasing the palms of a few African countries, surprised how many of them abstained, I was unaware of major Russian presence on that continent.
Some on here have already followed throughThere are some people saying we should impose no fly zones, potentially take on Russia and if it leads to nuclear war so be it as "Putin & his war machine must be stopped". I think we should be involved in humanitarian support & imposing sanctions but not sure we should be getting in direct conflict yet. A line does need to be drawn and if he tries to go over it we must follow though but it's not as clear cut & simple as some seem to think. (I'm not referring to you when I say that).

I hope so too and there seems to be a slight softening of words. My main barrier is trusting anything they say.Moscow saying there is some common ground in potential peace talks. Really hope this true, but obviously not confident.
How long will the table be??They've agreed where the conference table will sit.
