Russian invasion of Ukraine

"Russia must be stopped at all costs"

I think not and neither does anyone else in power.

This is well worth a watch.....

TLDW: An old man rambling and pontificating about another old man rambling and pontificating.

Personally I didn't find this "well worth a watch."

OAT, if Putin decides to go out in a blaze of glory as he's threatening then there is precious little we (the collective "we") can do. There's no "stopping" Putin. He himself, his circle or his people must stop him. In the meantime, we support Ukraine passively (practically and financially) and Ukrainians displaced actively (or at these those with spare capacity in their good-natured hearts do).

What has the homeless and the asylum seekers coming across the channel got to do with the Ukraine?

Some wars effect us directly, some wars indirectly and some wars not at all and generally speaking concern slides along that scale.

Usually there is a lot of money and the arms industry behind our foreign policy direction. A new cold war is just the ticket after the cash cow of the 'war on terror' has diminished.

I liked this post. Not because I agreed with shooting them in the dinghies but because it was funny. I now worry I’ve breached @gordondaviesmoustache decision matrix for liking a post.

It’s more guidance than a rigid matrix.

Surely reporting posters for liking posts you disagree with should be a thing too?

This is well worth a watch.....

On Thursday, Starkey told the rightwing commentator Darren Grimes that “slavery was not genocide, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many damn blacks in Africa or in Britain would there? You know, an awful lot of them survived.”

Did we do this with Americans when their government manufactured a war in Vietnam?

You mean 57 years ago?

Apparently there’s now a ‘Boris Johnson St’ in Kyiv, lol

Did they rename gropecunt lane?
