The new recruits have been getting all their shit robbed off them. Disgusting really all being told they have to buy first aid kits and armour then getting it taken off them.

I remember as a trade unionist and former shop steward/FoC (Father of Chapel, not the Alan Pardew definition) when Russia were seen as evil commies and anybody who dared join a union or stick up for basic employment rights was told by the Murdoch press to ‘fuck off and go live in Russia’
Now they are far right lunatics led by a literal fascist madman and they have basically bought the Conservative party and half of the poshest bits of London
Mad how quickly things can change

They drop a small nuke they lose everything and all their allies. This shithawk should realise the west won't fall for it anymore.

If the unthinkable happens, and Russia uses a nuke, I suspect that there will be a lot of NATO warplanes in the skies taking out every bit of Russian military hardware they can spot. At least I hope so anyway.

Fighting apparently reached Tors'ke.
This falls,then Lyman completely encircled,and,maybe,a complete collapse.

Slava Ukraini.

Medvedev says the west wouldn't dare respo d to nukes on Ukraine.

Putin ‘certainly not bluffing’ and will use nuclear weapons if pushed, says Medvedev

He believes Nato will not directly interfere in conflict for fear of ‘nuclear apocalypse’

I wouldn't bet on that.
It maybe wouldn't be a nuclear response, but the result would be devastating on Russia's attempt to seize huge chunks of Ukraibe

It would be a nuclear response. MAD is a thing.

they would certainly loose China, i think Kim jong-un would be frantically peeling himself off with his boxers around his ankle's at the thought of further escalation mabe Iran to, this war could take another shape in the next few days depending on what Putin has linned up following the so called voting, i wonder if NATO will end up on Ukraine soil in a non nuclear way

Yeah, it's hard to see how it could be anything but a nuclear response. Maybe a tactical strike on the Sevastopol naval base? There have been threats made against the Black Sea fleet if they go nuclear.

I think everyone's hoping he's not that stupid though.

Football Leagues were suspended for WW2. If this one kicks off good and proper then it will be finished forever.
