Russian invasion of Ukraine

Well that won’t worry them. It’s not like we can take a loan out in their name or empty their bank accounts

Can ring up their mum and tell them they have been naughty. But in all seriousness having your name put out there can have some effect.

This was not an issue from 1949-2022 so why is it an issue now?

It wasn't Russia's doorstep.
Up until the collapse of the Soviet Union the doorstep belonged to the Warsaw Pact with East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria being the frontline States.
Russia had a buffer between itself and NATO, which is exactly what it wants now.

An Iraqi veterans opinion on what Russia is facing.

Worth pointing out the Coalition weren’t dealing with the worst sanctions in history either.

Interesting take from someone who knows what to expect.

You can add the endless fucking hacking and ransomware attacks the go on day after day after day, originating from Russia. Whilst the Kremlin does fuck all about it, no, in fact probably encourages it and is behind half of it.

The sooner this truly Evil Empire falls, the better.

How their people haven’t fucked them off yet is sad, easier said than done though I suppose. Cunts

Well he has a smartphone, he can broadcast from that. @Scottyboi brought in to justify my previous reference to smart phones.

If they are starting to target tv towers. Cell towers might be next…

Thanks for sharing, it’s posts like this I come on here for.

I think there are some similarities to NI during the troubles but this will be much much worse on every level.

I would feel sorry for the Russian troops but honestly fuck ‘em, they shouldn’t be there and are killing civilians in their imperialist aims.

If it gets to a point of a city occupation against the will of 2-3 million people those Ruskie troops will create a bog roll shortage worse than the start of covid from shutting themselves. In addition to mechanised death funnels with ATs there will be multi layered elevated trajectory small arms threat, Geneva convention will go out of the window and ruskies will be stripped naked and tied to lampposts & left to bleed out to scare other occupiers. Petrol bombs from roof tops, real snipers from other countries will be picking them off for pleasure. Mentally it will be fucking awful for them making NI, Afghanistan & iraq look like a picnic.

I’ve said this from the start, it was inevitable before the Russians invaded. NATO should have caved into Russia in my opinion when she mobilised troops, in regards to NATO membership and prevented all this. Obviously they’ve not and said they won’t be bullied and if you do this we’ll ruin you financially, which has partially happened, but ultimately they still paying the Russians billions a day for gas. Ukraine and her citizens have been caught in the middle with nothing to gain, as far as I can see. Sure some people will say they’re fighting for their right to join a military alliance, but unfortunately, in this case, it was always going involve a military battle, and a battle they couldn’t win.

As far as I can tell, the Russians are currently demanding recognition of the two areas in the east and Crimea, a change of government and demilitarisation, I assume that means permanent Russian troops for “protection” from NATO.

I assume once this is over we’re going to see a demand for current NATO members to leave, hopefully the financial impact is going to dissuade them from that (and it’s why it’s so important to ramp up renewables now) or it’s going to be WW3.

possibly the most unapt username on BM.
