Russian invasion of Ukraine

[PragueBlue]

It's absolutely mental when you think about it, that the US approving long range ATACM'S (Spoiler - they ain't long range and restrictions are still in place), to target launch sites and ammo depots which are terrorising Ukrainian civilians daily is seen as some form of escalation.

So theoretically, Russia can continue to launch ballistic missiles into civilian zones daily, but Ukraine are not allowed to target the launch sites? How are people expecting Ukrainians to defend themselves? Laughable

I'm in the difficult position of having to agree with a Villa fan. This just won't do ;-)

Nope, that will cause WW3. We've been giving him what he wants for 20 years and he keeps coming for more.

And if, you know, your history......

It can't, because if there is nothing left for him to take that's that then.

Thought you was Villa, coming out with an Everton song..............

Nope, but this is the biggest threat that is on the table at this present moment, and don't know who else will supply Ukraine with weapons, that's why they reliant upon us and America?

Middle East been going on for donkeys, they will never live in peace, China wants Taiwan back and are sitting quiet watching no doubt?

Why is Putins threats this time any more serious than the last 15/20 times he’s threatened nukes?

Nothing left for him to take? He wants all old USSR counties back. Do you suggest we give them to him?

The West have never sent a missile deep into russia before, you struggling to understand that part?

The West are not sending missiles into Russia. Ukraine are. you struggling to understand that part? Russia are using Iranian drones and missiles hitting Ukraine targets, that isnt Iran attacking Ukraine is it?! That is Russia using weapons supplied by them.

If the West were doing it we wouldn't be sending 30 year old surplus missiles thats for sure.

Looks like some on here are pretty young and weren't alive through the cold war. Admittedly the situation with Russia and Ukraine is terrible and the international tension this causes is decidedly unpalatable. But the west and Russians have been in similar situations before.

I recall the yanks supplying the Majahideen with Stingers and other sophisticated weaponry which resulted in the Soviet withdrawal from Afganistan after they lost 50k odd men. There was no nuclear strike then and there won't be now.

Putin also knows he would lose China's support even if he used just tactical Nuclear weapons. There would be no way back for him at any level.

Ok, a bit like saying there’s a dairy milk ice cream lolly been sent in rather than a magnum, but I see what you mean honest
