Hopefully it means Scotland get a by into the next round in the World Cup qualifier. Link to comment

They might want to take heed of the chain of events perpetrated by another dictator in the 1930s, though, and how current events are imitating them. 6 F-35s and 10,000 redeployed soldiers isn't much of a counterforce. Totally agree that Putin's responsible. But Putin knows Lenin's maxim about bayonets: Push, and if you find mush keep pushing, if you find steel withdraw. He's found a lot of mush in the past.

Just saw footage of a Russian jet launch an unguided rocket into a neighbourhood... guy was filming out his window, and the rocket appeared to hit within a few yards.

Why wasn't a strategic location like that heavily guarded? Most of the combat-ready Ukrainian units are situated in the East, risking being cut off and surrounded. Appears that a lot of Ukrainian armor and aircraft were caught parked on their bases, rather than dispersed and camo'ed. These Ukrainian cunts don't sound like they're even trying to defend themselves. Link to comment

BitWait Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Half of them welcome the Russian invasion but we only hear from the pro European lot. Ukraine was a mess of corruption from its beginning. Worked with a guy from Crimea who said his Mothers pension doubled after the Russians took over in 2014. 1 Link to comment

Poodler Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 We speak every day here about not trusting the MSM, why are we accepting what they’re saying now as gospel? im not fishing or anything, I just can’t trust unverified reports from establishment media which has a clear agenda Relistically, Russia aren’t going to fire rockets across Europe to Britain, why should we be any more invested in this than say an African dispute? The media need a new bogeyman now that the covid monster has been exhausted 1 1 Link to comment

Has war been declared? Does it need to be to be a war? Why do the media keep saying there’s fierce fighting reportedly happening but no footage? Surely someone has a phone The initial stages of a modern war don't involve masses of soldiers shooting at each other, so the notion of capturing footage of lines of infantry in combat is largely outdated. The preamble to the ground attack is gaining the air above the battlefield, which is why you're primarily seeing missiles, jets, and helos taking down air defence infrastructure. That seems to be going pretty quickly, so land forces will kick on shortly if they haven't already. It's a war inasmuch as two countries are trying to kill each other, but it's a fight in the same way it would be a 'fight' if you stuck Judi Dench in a ring with Mike Tyson. The good thing is that Ukraine seems a bit shit at war, so it'll all be over pretty quickly. The longer it drags on the greater the chance of a NATO thing getting blown up, deliberately or accidentally, and then shit will get real. My current thoughts are it's going to be a quick victory for the Russians, a cheeky wee Pro-Moscow regime change, and a low level insurgency, seems like the likely outcome here. 1 Link to comment

Jigsaw666 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Economic sanctions, what a load of shite. Putin wants to reconstruct the USSR jigsaw and all the West does is babble on about blocking bank accounts. Biden giving it restrictions on imports and exports. Load of shite. 1 Link to comment
