Russian invasion of Ukraine

Hope they've gone after Lavrov's daughter and her husband.
We think our MPs stink for having a duck house - the whole of their "system" reeks to high heaven.

The whole lot have to be brought down or this will never end

Uefa and Fifa are too late: Russia’s sportswashing has served its purpose | Barney Ronay

We have been expertly played by Vladimir Putin. Now he is raining death down on Ukraine, and sport has served its purpose in him being able to create this horrifying moment

Ronay, the man who couldn't praise Russia & Putin enough during the World Cup, seems to have changed his tune a little.

Tell Alfons Mais, Head of the German Army, that complete pile of horse shit.

He is saying that he is pissed off as it is incapable of doing what in theory it is supposed to do....defend the nation.

He's speaks that the German army isn't ready or prepared to face Russia in another nation and that certain weapons or equipment hasn't been signed off. The German Army disagree's with him. I don't know anything about German Military to know if he's wrong or right.

What he's saying is that they can't launch military assaults into other nations to help, don't think he mentions anything about them being unable to defend Germany.

He also doesn't mention anything about woke nor saying that they are more for peacekeeping.

I realise this filth is protected from on high, but what are the chances of a few within his inner circle conspiring to take him out? A quick bullet through his maniacal eyes? Surely there are some that oppose the course he appears to be taking?

Or is that wishful thinking on my part?

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.

Good post. The only thing Trump ever did or said that I agreed with was in 2018 when he pushed for NATO countries to increase their financial contribution to the organisation.

Is there a chance at all the russians will pick up arms and destabilise him from within?

With so many brave russians demonstrating in the streets, there must be some groups ready to rebel. He has been a tyrant for 20 years. Has he driven them all out or is there just not a climate for a civil war anymore?

Hopefully hundreds of Russian body bags returning to Moscow will be a catalyst for some of the protests in Russia.

I’m getting a blanket and putting it over my dining room table and getting underneath like I did in the 80’s.

Making a den doesn’t keep you safe from the world, but if it keeps you safe, then all power to our childish dreams :-)

I have done this and I watch TV through a periscope from inside my den!

I put this question to the BM forum but had no response. I imagine his inner circle are fanatical as he is about his intent and views. His Generals have also had no issue in invading an innocent country so don't think it is a case of jus Putin being slotted. Their establishment needs wiping out. (Just like ours)
