Russian invasion of Ukraine

Also I can't stop chuckling at 'Satan 2'. What kind of shite name is that? It's like something from an episode of South Park, or something that other clown in North Korea would come up with.

Get in the bin and stay off the vodka you silly twat.

He has weapons we couldn’t even dream about don’t you know.

Meanwhile in the real world he has lost best part of 20000 troops and countless land and air assets and his Black Sea flagship.

The Ralf Ragnick of military leadership is our Vlad.

I disagree that it’s a good strategy as so far the West and especially NATO has called his bluff time and time again.

It's a wild theory but maybe - just maybe - the most advanced and richest countries in the world, with the biggest defence budgets all working together in a little club might just end up on top, and maybe everyone knows this.

It's probably made out of Fairy Liquid bottles, papier-mâché and poster paint.

He’s throwing out these threats as he suspects that the west is full of nappy wetting cry arses that will demand their governments do as he says.

I think he was right initially, but the West imo has wisened up.

There's a few of them about as we see on here. Thankfully most of them are keeping quiet now that it's been proven that they were posting bollocks in the early part of the thread but there's still a few who see Putin as some sort of fiendishly clever Bond villain with a cunning plan, whereas in reality we can all see he's an emperor with no clothes.

Indeed. Since Putin took power, we've seen the west legitimising him with it's leaders being happy to cosy up to him for photoshoots and turn a blind eye for economic purposes. Our leaders would often condemn his actions in the strongest terms, which meant nothing because they didn't back it up with any meaningful action.

Leaders should be judged by what they do (or don't do) and not by what they say. Unfortunately for Putin, he's overstepped the mark and united the West against him and there will never be any way back for him.

You might laugh, but downed Russian drones have been found to have fuel tanks made of... ...plastic bottles!

What's inside Orlan-10? A Canon consumer camera and... a plastic bottle were found in a drone shot down by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (video)

Pavel Kashchuk, founder of the project infocar.ua and the host of the famous among motorists of the same name YouTube channel published on his Facebook page video, in which he demonstrated what the main tactical drone Orlan-10 used by the Russian army is equipped with. You will not believe it...

Only hope we have is someone like navalny to create a uprising and take over. Problem is I doubt he will make it out of Russian jail. I can only see another crazy Russian bastard who wants war taking over

It’s always a tricky one this, but my instinct (fwiw) is that if you agree with 80% of a post and strongly disagree with 20%, don’t ‘like’ it, as you are implicitly endorsing the part you disagree with.

That's probably a good approach, but in this case it was more 95/5% split, and the 95% was well worth supporting

The people of Russia are who I feel sorry for. They have no democracy so are stuck with a despot, who invades a neighbouring country because he claims it is run by Nazis.

The bloke is so unbelievably up his own arsehole
