Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Karl8]

In fairness to the rags, they’ve cancelled their money spinning sponsorship with Aeroflot..Fair play to the dirty red bastards

 

[urban genie]

Before or after they invade Taiwan

Well they are technically still at war with each other, the last territory held by the republic of china, who still have aims to retake the mainland from the communists


Slightly different to this scenario

Is there any confirmation of this?

Edit: Nevermind, found it on Reuters.

Several papers in Spain saying so.

Not sure it was Trumps problem as such, it was more his justification for looking into getting out of NATO. I don’t believe he thought he would get the outcome he was publicly saying he was.

I think we’re well beyond the point with Trump of taking his rhetoric at face value, particularly when there’s a potential subsequent benefit to Putin, surely.

Whatever his motivations were or not, the fact remains his point about 2% spending not being met was justified and considering I know more people in the military than I do on here, @SWP's back calling me an idiot is fucking hilarious.

Ah, ignoring the underlying motive then I agree it was a valid argument.

Putins timing makes perfect sense, Trump would have fought fire with fire, Biden is heading for full time care and Boris cannot manage himself let alone the Uk.

Impotent long term enemies who he has clearly told to do one while he expands and secures his empire.

You give that blowhard Trump too much credit.
