Russian invasion of Ukraine

[bluethrunthru]

Nothing to do with the editor, it’s the ownership.

so why are the other papers turning against him?

 

[meltonblue]

on what criteria has his view on the standard got anything to do with a thread titled " Russian Invasion of Ukraine"?

​

I think I’ve answered that, but to say again it’s owned by the son of an ex kbg oligarch that Johnson gave a peerage to, I’d argue that’s pretty fucking relevant.

Here we go again, the thread hijacked.

Because we are lagging so badly on sanctions in comparison.

Like I said, I agree with the sentiment, I think Johnson has spoken well throughout and did again with that. Our actions have not backed that up though and my point on the Standard is that’s a prime example of where we’ve allowed Russian money and influence to infiltrate more than pretty much anywhere else.

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.

There are aircraft of all sorts along the border area, from various nationalities.
US, UK, Turkey, Spain, Canada, Italy.......F-16's, Blackhawks, Stratotankers, UK and US RC-135's, Osprey's, Global Hawks for surveillance and RyanAir.

I don’t really think it’s for this thread either, although I thought people would have put 2 and 2 together with what I said about the Standard, didn’t think it would create a discussion.

I’d argue it is pertinent though to argue the value add of rhetoric vs our inability (or inactivity) to sanction, particularly given the amount of Russian wealth here. It’s getting embarrassing given that’s the main tool the west has currently got and is using against Putin.

Nah, they’re funded by China and the ANC are racist shithouse cunts.

Ah! I see.

The Ukrainian leader is doing a great job but he needs to tone down his blasting of NATO for not helping. European countries are helping by taking in Ukrainian citizens, providing weapons and financial support. He knows the risks of what could happen should Nato countries intervene directly.

Yes, take the btitish politcs bollocks to a thread in the political forum, that's why it's there, lets keep this to the outrage going on in Ukraine please, it's not that difficult.
