Martin would already be his bunker and varadker would be in new York.
Went to sleep early this morning knowing full well this was about to start, and feel sick to my stomach now. I hope the Ukrainians are sing their country proud.
The world, mainly Europe and the US have invented this situation with their cowardice towards Putin in the past.
If you hurt those who are keeping the nutter Putin in power then they may choose to remove him.
If the west put boots on the ground in the Ukraine we will just strengthen his support in Russia. If we give the Ukrainians the means with weapons to bleed the Russian military visibly and use economic weapons to bleed the oligarchs economically that should push a change in Russia
This is a dark day for Europe
He's not going in , that's already clear
And both of them would be blaming Sinn Fein...
This was set in stone when Biden walked meekly out of Afghanistan. The US is no longer a reliable partner for Europe (a process that has been taking place over 15 years) - we will need to get to the point of having a stronger unified EU defence.
What is it you imagine they should have done? Few countries anywhere will get into this type of direct action on a whim and the only other option is sanctions.
Yeah but it would be very different if it's tourist zones and random attacks!
They won't do it obviously and the west are weak as shît and putin knows this, how are those sanctions looking?
Nazism never went away, it just changed colours.
Putinist Russian Nazi scum.
Trump would have stood in Mariupol waving a Russian flag. He's already praised Putin for his actions.
Stan Kroenke is the sole owner of Arsenal these days. Usmanov sold his shares in 2018.
This is the reality now
How many lives will be lost..truly scary times. Sanctions aren't going to cut it clearly.
there were far greater sporting sins in respect to Russia. the money he sunk on Chelsea was probably more effective than any sanctions. What did FIFA do, the IOC, UEFA….they gave direct credibility.
They took any money they can get and continue to do so Gazprom plastered all over champions League coverage
Christ how people can bang on about Trump or Biden. Putin invaded and occupied Ukraine since 2014. He doesn't give a shoite who's in the Whitehouse. It's the beginning of his end imo.
How long that demise takes is anyone's guess. This could eventually escalate into WW3. Can't see Vlad stopping if he secures Ukraine.
Its hilarious how some of the posts here will blame everyone but Putin for this.
Sorry, i meant pathetic, not hilarious. Putin started this. His megalomania, cowardice and utter disregard for international law started this. This is nothing less then an illegal invasion of a European country.
Classic demoralization propaganda from RT
You forgot NATO...NaTo CaUsEd IT!!!
I find with this particular poster, the ignore button works fine.
Sanctions exactly that. They did nothing in 2014 in fact some states increased their investments with Russia.
This started nearly a decade ago
Your views on Putin goes without saying. No one can argue otherwise
But it is also the case that the multilateral and security infrastructure and real peer pressure has failed. Russian hold the current Presidency of the UN Security Council - that says a lot.
No way does Putin attacks with Trump in the white house, he knows Biden is weak as chips, and Borris is a absolute joke.
You can see this location on Google maps. Just northeast outskirts of Kharkiv.
Kharkiv, Kharkiv Oblast

And the response from the world is radio chatter and we will punish putin with a few sanctions on his mates , meanwhile Ukraine is burning.
Cowards .
No point mentioning certain posters either nothing but bottom feeder trolls ,
I said this was coming.
I don’t think Ireland should be selecting politicians to vote for on account of their aptitude as a war time premier.
Nonsense. Did he decide to wait over a year after Trump was gone for the craic?
It absolutely disgusts me that when you pay sky or virgin your monthly subscription part of that goes to mouthpiece station.
Usmanov sold his stake?
They are probably sorry they are not ready now to invade. This morning would be the perfect morning to invade Taiwan.
