Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Chris in London]

So a load of posters are more interested in domestic and EU politics than the atrocities in Ukraine.

btw I think the help being given by many Polish people to many hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians is great. Compassion is beating politics there and in several other Countries bordering the Ukraine.

The problem is, these things are all interconnected. Russia funded the leave campaign because it was part of Russia’s foreign policy to try to separate the U.K. from the rest of the EU. There are obvious concerns that the way in which the U.K. has dragged its feet in relation to sanctions is related to the amount of money that has flowed into the Conservative party from Russia. These are pieces in the same jigsaw puzzle that involves bombing nuclear power stations in the south of Ukraine, whether the SAS is on the ground in Ukraine, refugees arriving in Moldova and Polish MiG 29s being provided to the UAF. It’s unrealistic to say people should only look at the cancer in Ukraine without looking at the secondaries elsewhere.

We need hooves on the ground, they can moove quickly.

Our troops will need to pack an extra Jersey Big Joe. It's Fresian out there!

That article is an absolute crock of shit.

He's criticising Ukraine for wanting less russian influence and wanting their own identity the daft fucker.

Imagine storming Wales and saying you can't speak or promote the teaching of the Celtic language. No more daffodils either you twats

Seized?

Would that be because we have more Russian money than the rest of the EU?

Does it include donations to the Tory party?

Give it a rest and get a life away your one track
obsessions.
You will bore people to death before the derby.

Could only make a tiny dent in our economy. Give it all to Ukraine.

Kinda wanted some for myself I won't lie.

Did Ukraine have a Pro Russian government ELECTED by the people that was overthrown? What’s the history there. Does Putin see this as an excuse ?

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss that figure The old estimate for USSR figures was take what they said and x10.

When Ukraine said Russia had 5800 losses, the Kremlin said 595.

Remember that most of the fighting is taking place between Ukraine's full time army that's been prepared and trained by US and UK special forces for the last 8 years, using state of the art equipment and live intelligence provided by the US and surrounding countries against Russian conscripts who have 3 weeks training and didn't know they were going to war, using 30-40 year old equipment with no logistics or back up.

It’s not 10000 anymore it’s now 11000 so that’s another 1000 from yesterday . No one knows the true figures and both sides are banging the propaganda drum.

Whilst I expect our and usa special forces are probably already in the Ukraine hope to god they stay safe and don’t get captured they would be paraded and this could all blow up and Putin will have his WW3
