No that’s @Metal Biker :-)A proffesional pervert I see.
I think this is very awkward for NATO and US intelligence. US forces have spent decades and fortunes updating their arms to keep ahead of Russia.
Now there's probably less need as the Russian Army is tin pot.
I think their real threat long term will be China and that will be enough to justify their defence spending.
This 'war' has shown that the old strategies really don't cut the mustard anymore, it's all about investment in modern technology.
I would normally remind people that this is Putin's war, and that the average Russian probably hates him as much as we do. That the Russian people in general are decent people just trying to live their lives.
The only problem i've got is that i've yet to meet a decent Russian in real life. The ones i've met so far are absolute twats. I thought it might be because the main ones i've met are through my work. And they tend to be wealthy etc.
I try to look through propaganda, and just see the human costs. But i'm sorry, i just cannot see anything decent about the entire Russian population. They have been totally ruined by generation after generation of state control. That state control they have been happily supporting when it suited their needs.
It's too late that they are now rising up against the war. They were happy when it didn't affect them directly.
My only regret is that those who have committed war crimes will never get punished unless the entire Russian regime collapses.
So still little sympathy for the cannon fodder being sent to their deaths...

Could just change russian to Scouse and post in the Liverpool thread .?And to think that people feared the russian army. To be fair and from what we've seen so far, they are an embarrasing rag tag outfit propped up with false bluster and propaganda. The russian population are no better, an utter embarrasment, despised throughout the world and tarnished for generations.

Totally get what you're saying but.... propaganda and being brainwashed are things that it are very difficult to counter. I think the Russian people can only hear what their saviour (the State) tells them.I would normally remind people that this is Putin's war, and that the average Russian probably hates him as much as we do. That the Russian people in general are decent people just trying to live their lives.

I know a couple of Russians who are westernised and even they believe Putin is doing what he is doing in the name of saving their "glorious" country.
I am pleased to see that this worm is definitely beginning to turn though. I cannot hate the Russian people... just the people at the top.
I have two of those bottles of wine on the top shelf .... happy days.
