Russian invasion of Ukraine

[SWP's back]

That’s the way I’ve heard it -the prospect of the Russains suddenly bombing the crap out of the Ukraine when there’s hundreds of thousands of their Relatives settled there since the days of the USSR is bizarre. Vox Pops in both Countries have said pretty much this. The Countries have a shared history for god sake dating back a thousand years.

Another gem ageing well….

Lot of people had their heads buried deep in the sand over this.

Putin says he doesn’t want to “occupy” Ukraine. Ergo, he just wants Ukraine to be Greater Belarus!

That is to say, a massive pro-Russian puppet state that will do as he says when he says it, will never look to the west (or actual democracy) and will allow him the deep Russian border buffer he wants for his Motherland and total domination of the Black Sea.

Wonder who he has picked as the new President of Ukraine, and how will they bring the population to heel?

As Oprah would say, “You get a Russian passport! You get a Russian passport! And you get a Russian passport!”

Meanwhile Putin is hosting Imran Khan and fostering good relations with Pakistan.



This is all a pantomine to him, he knows unless he actually sets foot or attacks EU or Nato allies we will do nowt.

Fucking madness

Ukraine should just offer assurances that it won’t request to join NATO. The west won’t fight a nuclear war over Ukraine and they don’t stand a chance by themselves. Better to take the pragmatic position for the benefit of its population.

1999. Before 9/11 and West Ham winning the biggest European trophy - the intertoto Cup

Are you sure you received a trophy and not a certificate like Newcastle United did?

I really can't understand a very wealthy man thinking let's start something that will destabilise the world and potentially lead to his ousting / his death or half the world being blown up by nuclear weapons.
Just sit their quietly with your millions and enjoy the rest of your life spending it quietly....

His life’s mission is to destabilise Europe and the US, to make us weak, to even see us off in war.

He’s been destabilising Europe and the US for two decades. He even told us what he wanted to do in 2007 in Munich.

It’s power that makes him tick, not money.

Have you considered SWEAR WORDS (cussing) as well as capital letters to further EMPHASISE your point and make you EVEN MORE RIGHT?

It’s weird that people think we could do it if we wanted to. The US spent decades trying to get rid of Castro and failed hundreds of times.

The only way out is to wage economic war on Russia’s people and the oligarchs until Putins support is undermined. NATO has the power to do it, our governments just don’t seem to have the willpower.

The problem for our government is that they are conflicted. Too many in government have vested interests that are tied to Russian money - they probably want to put pressure on Putin but want to do so in a way that doesn’t effect them…. It’s a straightforward conflict of interest. Putin looks increasingly unhinged and diplomacy is presently impossible. The West needs unprecedented sanctions to isolate Russia from the international community. I agree it’s impossible to take out Putin and frankly an act like that would actually do more harm than good.

So is that why he financed the Brexit campaign ; )
