diegomarahenry Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 My timeline has been made up of people hoping we get a bye in the World Cup play off or hoping there is an influx of attractive Ukrainian refugees. I’m not sure people recognise the magnitude of events. (I am hoping for both) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 The response from the ‘Western democracies’ is like the incapable guardian warning the recalcitrant child not to do something for the twentieth time. ”I mean it this time Vladimir, if you do not stop you’ll be in trouble”. It’s fucking depressing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyDickFingers Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Good thread for any interested. That video of the kid crying as rockets fly into the area is heart breaking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Russian troops are in Chernobyl according to the interior minister. That's only 130km from Kyiv. Shit is going to get real very quickly, that is unless they all die of cancer before making it out of Chernobyl. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to hope that Ukraine won't really try to fight back, for humanity's sake. If they don't surrender within a couple of days there's going to be thousands of deaths. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This book is a really good read in to Russian money and the way its moved abroad and laundered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His name is Johnson. "Boris" is a character created for popular consumption, reminiscent of Waldo in Black Mirror. He doesn't even use the name himself in his private life, only when he's performing. Rarely do we hear other leaders referred to as Ed, Keir, Caroline, Olaf, Joe, etc., so why the familiar style for this horrible, narcissistic, sociopathic cúnt? PTTGOMN? absolutely. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Russia already regards all of Turkestan as the "near abroad" and within their sphere of influence. With the possible exception of Kyrgyzstan, it is mostly run by corrupt former Communist leaders who were brought up on the Soviet way of doing things. Russia also regards Ukraine as the "near abroad" and wants to stop Ukraine being otherwise.Many in the Uzbek cabinet were educated in Europe and the US. Mirziyoyev is far less Russia-aligned than his predecessor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DA Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) 9 hours ago, CaspianChris said: Putin threatening a nuclear retaliation on countries that get involved to help the Ukrainians. I would normally say surely he would not knowing the consequences but given the insanity Putin has been showing I would not put it past him to do so. He's acting like his GP has just given him 3 months to live and he's thinking, 'f**k it, I'll just take everyone else with me.' ETA: Had this sitting ready to send once I'd reached the end of the thread. Now I'm a wee bit late with my theory.

Years ago some French guy did just that and it didn't end well. Then some German (maybe Austrian?) guy did the same and came unstuck as well. Just thought I should warn you. No-one ever seems to learn from Afghanistan's home record - why should Russia be any different? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Wonder if Putin will be happy with the installation of a puppet regime in Kiev, ala Belarus.I suspect not, and that he might go the full hog of declaring that Ukraine no longer exists as a sovereign state and its territory is now part of Russia. Like Crimea is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been totally over run I think, they would have gone East to defend against Russian incursion there whilst the Russians basically fly over the top and set up a base in the North West of the country. That said if I was the army I'm not sure id fancy my chances in a war alone against Russia. It's a death sentence without foreign help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
