Agreed. Been saying it for years yet some soft arse wankers over here think we should scrap trident and slash defence budgets.

Good thread.
Was just about to post that.
Might be wishful thinking.

“The sanction nobody is talking about. Russian users who attempted to visit pornhub were quite literally cockblocked by a message that told them that the content has been stopped along with a Ukranian flag and message of Ukranian support”
lol.
lol.
Dictators and even democratic leaders have been setting up Client Kingdoms for a few thousand years and getting away with it to a large degree.the point isnt to destroy the capital though. he just wants to remove the government and installed his own. Its looking more and like he was so arrogant he thought Ukraine would crumble and surrender. This wont be over quick, maybe from an actual military point of view. this is guerilla warfare. house to house, street by street. When will dictators learn that you can never occupy a nation that refuses to be occupied - its just going to get very brutal, very bloody and very bitter. what you have seen yesterday and today was nothing. This is the when the real fighting starts. the rest was all about strategic positioning

Which are?Hopefully reports are true!
One thing has become very clear in the last few days and that is the days of freeloading NATO members relying on the US, UK and France to be the countries that can actually do any fighting are over. When the head of the German Army goes on LinkedIn to essentially say that their army is a fucking joke then governments have to wake up and start to spend on their defence. Having a woke 'peace keeping' touchy feely organisation isn't the same as having combat ready armed forces.
No wonder Putin is laughing his bollocks off.
No army is woke and that include's NATO.
NATO is a peace keeping force it is not an agressive one.
This nonsense is from far-right sources and part of their 'culture war.' Even saying Putin has been better because he's not woke.
It was a front page splash on the Daily Mail a couple of days ago and everyone was laughing at them that no one would take that seriously, however...

I don’t think it’ll change the short term as such, aside from damaging Kiev to the extent Putin will have to (and is doing already by the sounds of it) absolutely wouldn’t have been in his plans and might make him think it isn’t going to be anywhere near as easy as just putting in a pro russian government.
Wouldn't be surprised if he’s currently going mad at some in his inner circle who had probably been telling him the Ukrainians would all welcome it with open arms. They clearly didn’t give the army the right heads up or prepare them properly.
