Russian invasion of Ukraine

[nw42]

Pass the tipping points where to potential losses from becoming ostracised in the west and Asia are greater than the cost of shutting down in Russia. It won’t be some noble gesture but basic economics for the rest.

Never said it was but, whatever their reasoning, it all helps in ramming home the message.

Theres people on here who just think ukraine could continue throwing themselves at bullets to stop Russia.

It simply won't happen, they are running out of food there and coming to terms with them is better than this ongoing fucking mess.

Thank fuck they are putting up a fight, cos if they'd have just rolled over after 3 days and putin took the full country, he would have thought 'well that was easy, what country next' now the ****'s got a problem on his hands and he's rapidly running out of money he won't be planning any further expansions anytime soon.

It doesnt really matter what we think, it's what the Ukranian people think. RIght now they are thinking 'I am willing to fight for my freedom and to live in my country'

TBF I thought that they would do exactly that and Russia would also do exactly that...however I didn't know much about Ukraine, it's size, its capabilties and far more than that, the will and strength of its people and its leadership, that coupled with world support I really hope I'm right in saying there will be only one winner

It's the children that gets to me. The orphans, the special needs kids and the ones that are terminally ill.
I haven't been able to watch any TV footage since I saw those 2 girls lying dead with their parents in the street.
It's absolutely sickening.
Every child in this world should be cherished and allowed to thrive.
But that's war for you.

 

[Postman Pep]

Western media banging the Ukraine drum. Any thoughts that we in the West are chasing the carrot?

Not sure what the carrot is but this fella calls it's 'war horniness'.

Tbh I think even if Ukraine were to negotiate terms now, there’s only been one winner.

Indeed even the 2 the RAF sent to Estonia could probably adequately defend against the all the su variants Russia could send

That's ridiculous isn't it. My friend who is well into his military planes told me that F35s communicate between each other automatically, identify targets and decide the best way to take out the opposition between them in milliseconds, all the pilot has to do is fly. This means they are much much more effective than anything else in the air.

Not to make light of things, in fact I feel the same as you, but here's a little clip that made me well up today, just beautiful.

Hardly.

The little boy walking down the road by himself is crying, how that‘s happened I don’t know but I’m guessing he’s fed up walking because someone is taking the video.
They should pick him up and carry him piggy back it really pulls at my heart strings. The children are easily affected by trauma they won’t forget the bombs easily

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

The bit about Russian communications is bizarre.

Hey, DID you know GOD spelled BACKWARD is DOG?

Makes YOU think.

Fixed

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

I see certain QCs who sit in the Hose of Lords are proposing amendments to create loopholes in the sanctions legislation.
One such is Lord Pannick QC who represent Oligarchs in many cases.
Scum, total scum.

Lord Pannick needs locking up.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

If he uses Chemical weapons ...is that end game?

‘He’ has used them previously without sanction, use them again and I’d say the current policies would have far greater consequence.

You don't give up, you defend and negotiate from a position of strength not weakness. Otherwise you just roll over and let tyranny win.

Bingo.
