If you're watching a live stream, I'd be grateful for a link - I have a couple I'm watching, but I've only heard clock chimes so far, for e.g.
WTAF? Can't get much involved than that.
Yes, but everything he does for public consumption is stage managed to the last....Vlad horse riding, stripped to the waist, Vlad going into an ice-cream parlour, and paying for his ice-cream , ditto burger shop, Vlad waving his driver away as he is opening the car door, he would prefer to walk.....and so on and so on. But of late, the mask is slipping..it really showed when he addressed the Duma...no amount of brushing over will ever obliterate those scenes. and they have travelled all over the world. Reminded me of when Prince Andrew gave that TV interview ( the one he did not discuss in advance with the Palace..),,,,and the reaction from the palace "Minders".
Russia needs to lose badly. The dictators out there who want to propagate their empires and line their coffers with the spoils of war need to get the message that rogue states will be dealt with in the most severe terms. We need to set a precedent going forward
To try and take him out would be suicide.
FIFA have said Russia can play but play as something like the Russian Football Union or something like that.
Poland have said no chance, still not playing them.
The English FA have just said they won't play them under any circumstances.
Wow that is big news.
I wonder what kind of planes they have....where are they? I would guess a number in Poland?
“The depths of hell are reserved for those who maintain neutrality in times of moral crisis”
Neutrality in the face of true evil is a coward’s excuse.
It's here on Google maps.

Basically at war with Russia in all but officialdom at this point, let's call a spade a spade
What fun a couple of A-10 Warthogs would have with that convoy.
FIFA are morally bankrupt. Hardly surprising.
Sorry but I’m in the piss or get off the fence camp- we’re either in the EU or we’re not- this is not a NATO decision it’s an EU decision- we have had little chance to do some good and take meaningful action in this situation-and this was one of our chances . And we’ve blown it. Fck peace keeping- this is not the time nor the battle to be peace keepers
Lol...laughable.
"I can't believe it's not Russia"
I suppose it was worth a go with the Olympic ROC shambles...but this is very different
I’m surprised, that is pretty close to an act of war by the EU. I know Russia seems to be on their arse but they can still do serious damage to the EU in other ways. Are we sure that’s real.
Putin having told military commanders to put nuclear deterrent on high alert…..
well, safe to say this IS WWIII after all…
its a pity we have such ditherers in Downing St and The White House….
only way out of this is basically attacking Moscow with what they are planning attacking the west with.. nuclear weapons …. No way diplomatically anything will break the hearts and minds of the Russian leadership…. They’ve made the threat, started this shîtshow, escalated it…and here we are… Sleepy Joe appearing more like comatose Joe and Boris wishing for the days of ‘have I got news for you’..? He’s feçk all news in terms of answering Russian aggression.
this is what happens when you elect weak leaders.
Looking around, it seems like they'd have to come from Poland, Bulgaria, or Slovakia. They'd be the only ones to have fighters that the Ukrainians are set up to operate. I think both Poland and Slovakia had plans to get rid of theirs soon anyway, in favour of more modern Western aircraft.
Unless they're supplying pilots and support crew as well it will be a bit like supplying potato plants to someone whos starving. A Ukranian Mig 29 pilot is hardly going to hop straight into a Eurofighter and zoom off into battle.
So your solution is a global nuclear war?....yeah I am going to pass on that one cheers.
The Poles have 23 Mig-29's that could be used. Also 20 Su-22's.
Welcome development.
How can this be considered anything but NATO being involved in the conflict without actually saying it.
And the letter V on the others? thanks
The content of this post is insane.
No one will be attacking Moscow while nuclear weapons are at play.
No amount of "strong" leaders will do this.
Absolutely insane.
I'm not for one minute saying they are to be held up as a bastion of journalistic integrity, but I don't agree with banning the channel.
I'd prefer to see what propaganda is being broadcast rather than silencing them.
In a way, silencing them gives them an air of legitimacy. Allowing them to spout bullshit shows them up for what they are.
Say this is going all Spanish civil war. European troops be wearing Ukranian outfits and patches. Russia can hardly give out. They've done that themselves in the recent past.
This is huge news. This war is about to escalate or Russia will back off. Russia can not win Air over Ukraine if this is 100% true

LOL.
I suspect he's safe in the job until he wants to stop, or dies!
'First strike' is of minimal advantage when it comes to nuclear exchange. If 'our side' struck first they would probably destroy a lot of the Soviet missile on their launchers but enough would get through to wipe out most of America and Western Europe. Mutually assured destruction isn't just a catchphrase.
