Russian invasion of Ukraine

....all your educated and wealthy people leaving is a massive problem in any economy.

Didn’t Stalin have them all shot in the 1930s? Maybe Putin will be happy to follow in his footsteps. He’ll get less pushback from poorer less educated people than he will from people who are more likely not to take Kremlin propaganda as gospel.

Glasnost re-created them bigger and better - there was a point where Putin still had them - not sure about the intellectuals but I do think the rich and their power out numbers him and as the noose tightens across the world on a lot of the nouveau riche his support dwindles and his days will be numbered. Imagine you are a close protection officer getting paid in a currency is worth less than dirt and you are told by someone to step aside and let them off him..... what would you do?

p.s. that change in your wage and savings has taken place very quickly and its still heading south....

Looks more like Mussolini but good - the more of the higher ranks take it the more it creeps back to Putin ....... fuck them all

Here's a quote when the story broke March 1:

Sixteen MiG-29 planes and 14 SU-25s could be provided by Bulgaria. Poland will send 28 MiG-29 warplanes, and Slovakia can deliver 12 MiG-29 planes, the officials stated.

With that would have to be all the logistical support, otherwise they'd worth no more than any of the Russian equipment that cannot be repaired or has run out of fuel.

Jerusalem Post

"The real negotiations, according to the sources, are happening directly between Russia and Ukraine and are much more serious than what the West has been saying. Kyiv has not shared with the West what has been going on in the negotiations since they do not want to damper the worldwide sense of emergency."

I find this a little hard to believe, considering the amount of arms and support the west are giving Ukraine in this war against Russia. They may not actually be at the negotiating table, but not being privy to what is being negotiated, surely not?

You mean disbarred. He’s not a doctor or a solicitor.

Thanks for the correction. I think he just needs to be slapped.

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

Only if you follow the kunt in the Kremlin. The rest of us just want to support Ukraine as best we can.

Woke up to news that Ukraine will not be getting the Migs from Poland. Very disappointed to here that.

Shapps on TV now saying it's because NATO don't want to be seen for escalating things by providing these weapons. Pity the interviewer didn't ask what's the difference between what weaponry is provided to Ukraine and why doesn't what NATO has already given not escalate things.

Oh, and FFS government stop answering every question with " the UK was first".

Edited to remove the typo :)
