Russian invasion of Ukraine

That’s absolutely fair, but things can change.

We can hope and pray, but in my experience it will be a long and winding road to make that change

The collapse of the Iron Curtain shows us that things can change at bewildering speed. I agree, that culturally many Russians conspicuously lack the ability to engage in objective thought and are more intellectually dishonest than other peoples, but this is founded upon decades of state sourced propaganda to which they have been subject.

Perhaps a wholesale exposure of this will precipitate a cultural recalibration.

I certainly hope so.

Spot on. The Beeb has been a disgrace.

I was just saying to the wife last night how ridiculous it is that I go onto a football forum to find out what is happening in the most important event of current times.

I don't do Twitter so this thread is my source of news, while the BBC has 200 stories about the Queen and no space or bandwidth for anything much else. And even if it does report on the Ukraine War it is already out of date and so wishy washy that it hardly actually says anything. I even confess to following the Russian Invasion thread on RedCafe, as even that is far ahead of BBC or other mainstream news channels.

I share your hopes and dreams but...the generation that grew up in the soviet era were brainwashed, probably the same as us in the west, they will never change their beliefs. The hope is with the younger generation who have had more exposure to the world

Yes, I think that’s an accurate assessment.

Of course not mate. But you never know ;)

The boundaries could be tweaked to annex Russian access to The Black Sea.

One has to be careful about getting too carried away, but it looks like the nonces are getting a right fucking kicking.

you fucking what???

The Orcs have abandoned Svatove.
Looks like a complete collapse.
I did say the other day,once Kupyansk and Izyum fall,The Donbas would fall very quickly.
It looks like my long arsed post the other day is pretty much bang on the money.....just a few hours out.

Slava Ukraini.
