Russian invasion of Ukraine

[metalblue]

I think there are other better options (not long range bombers) for that sort of thing?

Possibly. From what I’ve read their ocean surveillance is exceptional so if that was the mission it wouldn’t necessarily be crazy. The fact the Russians would see them there wouldn’t hurt either.

It’s really strange how they want to join a cartel of unelected bureaucrats which is about to collapse and in the meantime purposely remove their own sovereignty isn’t it? You’d think they’d want to follow our shining example take back control after all this.

We have bragged about this and that, first to do this and that, bollocks when examined

Ok. So you say it’s bollocks. Read my post again and tell me what I’ve said is bollocks and how you would expect them to do it different.

Reposted below for ease :

Where is it to a lie to say we’ve banned any ship that is Russian flagged or Russian owned? To the rather tangent point about goods on board a vessel where do you propose/expect UK authorities to examine cargo to determine if it’s is banned or otherwise exactly? I mean a port would seem the logical place but maybe you think somewhere in the North Sea would work better? I dare say some would then complain we weren’t checking them prior to them entering UK waters although I imagine that might be piracy if we did it outside UK waters - but who cares so long as we can get a sly dig in at the Tories eh?

apologise, in Russia.

The BBC will ‘temporarily suspend’ the work of all its BBC News journalists and support staff in Russia after authorities passed legislation which director-general Tim Davie said appeared to ‘criminalise the process of independent journalism’.

‘Our BBC News service in Russian will continue to operate from outside Russia.

‘The safety of our staff is paramount and we are not prepared to expose them to the risk of criminal prosecution simply for doing their jobs. I’d like to pay tribute to all of them, for their bravery, determination and professionalism.

It’s a pity the bbc would not take the same action when covering the blues. Anyway let’s get back to the impeachable honest journos covering the Ukraine crises with impartial integrity…

Tbf to the **** and probably the only time I’ll use that phase they did state it would close for at least 6 days so Monday will be the interesting day in terms of if it opens and if so how fucked it is. Hopefully very and every single Russian can see them heading to severe hardships and food being a privilege like the good old days of the ussr.

Yes but of course that will all be the capitalist wests fault, and they must be punished.....

That’s ruined the weekend of everyone whose part of the EU foreign affairs council.

 

[MCFC1993]

Can't stand this government but it's the right move to get as close to the EU as we can again. They aren't the enemy and they never were.

How about last fucking week

What difference would that make?

 

[xgorton]

Please please can we come back.

Prob more accurate would be first to say what we're going to do, and almost last to do it

 

[BringBackSwales]

What difference would that make?

Probably better than continuing to buy their gas and oil, and not kicking their biggest banks out of swift

Russians are sending Farage in to Kiev to make them see sense

 

[Octavian]

The brexit argument can suck a fat one right now whilst this shit is going on.

Thankfully European leaders are sensible enough to realise this.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

This government are a rabble of wankers but to be honest I think they’re handling this situation about as well as can be reasonably expected.

They were never over any water, only Romanian land, I think would be a provocation.
