[The Stockport Iniesta]

Yes, I know the point of view, I just don't understand it.

Escalation. Things could very quickly get out of hand.

They did, and they gave them up to the nonces In exchange for certain promises. which weren’t kept.

Obvs.

Indeed......and some people expect or want Ukraine to negotiate.

Slava Ukraini.

The Wagner Group is still recruiting fighters across Russia, days after staging a mutiny that led Vladimir Putin to raise fears of civil war.

Using a Russian phone number, we called more than a dozen recruitment centres saying, if asked, that we were inquiring on behalf of a brother.
All those who replied confirmed that it was business as usual.

I don’t think that any NATO member could be considered to be at war with Russia by any internationally accepted definition, and that is the only sense that matters. You might disagree, of course, but that respect for international law is one reason why Ukraine is fighting.

That’s a very polite way of saying he’s talking out of his arse.

You're right I do disagree. Internationally accepted definitions are one thing, realities are another. The reality is NATO countries are arming, training, supporting, and encouraging Ukraine, rightly so. At this stage its a moot point whether its still a proxy war or a real one, but the distinction is becoming very blurred indeed.

For Ukraine, things are already out of hand.

Have you heard anything about the Israeli tanks mate? Think they are selling 200 or so but seems nobody knows if they are destined for Ukraine?

The fecking Swiss! God help them if they ever need assistance the cowardly cunts! I’m withdrawing my money first thing tomorrow!

If Ukraine escalate, which they won't, the dwarf **** can't escalate himself using conventional means, he can only escalate by using wmd, that then draws NATO in.... That's the escalation everyone is trying to avoid.

International law is a reality, even if some countries choose to ignore it.
