Russian invasion of Ukraine

Putin has pretty much said it too. He wants to ‘liberate’ Europe.

Funny definition of "Liberation" that.

Funny definition of "Liberation" that.

to be honest I may have been wrong on the term, it was either "liberate" or "return sovereignty to". either/or. both are bollocks.

Knaresborough man raises money to send fire engine to Ukraine

Well done that man he raises enough money to buy a fire engine and someone else donates enough to send a second fire engine to Ukraine it shows what can be done with donations from the public

They have attacked a funeral wake in a tiny village near Kupiansk, with a missile at least 49 dead, including children, from 300 people at the wake in a cafe.

Not like you to post something negative in the thread is it?

I mean occasional posts of realism are as important as the 5000 other pages of overly positive posts that ignore that the war will go on another winter, Russia hasnt run out of men or ammunition and currently - albeit hopefully short term - the US have ceased all support.

There are regularly posts criticising the speed at which Ukraine is getting equipment, so a post noting that it’s likely going to get much slower is pretty relevant, despite the overall desire to insist that the backs of the Russians has been broken and it’s only a matter of weeks left, rather than the reality that the Ukrainians have ‘only’ advanced about 1/3rd of the way to Crimea this summer and have the deepest defences still to break through.

Are they posts of realism though? the US hasn't stop all support. they have stoped new funding being passed for now, but there are existing packages in place still supplying Ukraine.

and any post stating "anonuymous sources" tend to be pretty unreliable as there's no way to verify if its real or not. Clearly there are issues, and things could get worse. but right now support isn't as bad as you keep making out.

It’s Sodom and Gomorrah in Europe, apparently. Just popped my head out the window to check. Church bells chiming, a man on his bike, and a woman walking her dog. Hardly the wickedness that calls for God’s destruction...

What? The Germans have landed!?!
