I find the situation all the more serious when EU language and actions are so strong and Biden doesn’t speak. It makes me think they know something and they are preparing. I hope it is only discussions on sanctions but it looks like it is more than that.
This doesn't make sense to me. If Putin launches one missile at any NATO, or indeed western-aligned country he brings the whole of the American arsenal down on his head. Everything from Vlaikavkaz to Vladivostok becomes one giant glow-in-the-dark carpark.
But there would no end to the suppression of your freedoms if they found out that they could control you with threats of nuclear warfare. If you are not free, then life is worthless
The problem with conceding anything to a tyrant like Putin is he will always want something more.
Or our mickey mouse army peace keepers.
Absolutely bull, however there is a very high possibility that Comrade Vlad won't be around by then.
Well if it came to a choice between me and my country being torched by a nuclear bomb and joining up with the UK again I know which option I'd take...just hope there is a heaven.
But in all seriousness, I'm not suggesting anyone should cave in but the decision makers have humanity and the world to take into consideration and if there is credible intelligence that Putin might go there then we'd have to take all options into consideration including conceding (something) to him.
Russia Today just has a Ukranian flag on it at the moment. I was watching it yesterday. It's honestly quite funny hearing it in English. It's probably just Fox News to Russians(not sure if RT is the main news network in Russia or not) but there's something just so awkwardly jarring about the on the nose propaganda.
But not the UK where amazingly they STILL have higher ratings than GB News.😆
Rouble down almost 30% in early trading
All that will be left are cockroaches, TV License Inspectors, Traffic Wardens...
And Keith Richards.
No but the TV license inspector will still be knocking on doors.
yes. They are very obviously and laughably Pro-Putin.
Yes, they got banned in the EU and Australia.
I would not be too sure about that,,for a very long time now, the Russian people have well known that they have been and are being screwed by Vladimir....only the ruthless crackdowns he instigates on any dissention is how he holds on to power. That and of course, complete control of the media. The events of these last few weeks have really shown up the flaws and criminality of Putins Regime.
🤣 What do you think? after watching it for 30secs you should easily be able to answer that.
We would send them humanitarian aid.
Wait til he finds out it's not a film set.
He thinks it's Tropic Thunder II
I don't read the independent usually, are they known for fabricating stuff for ideologcial reasons? If they made it up, that's a massive slur that would make little sense in the circumstances.
Is this a wind up ?
Welcome to planet earth!
i don't know..is he?
No. Not at all. They are very balanced and usually quick to point out bold things Putin does. That is why they are all still alive
Racism? Border posts are indeed "nationalistic" if you consider the presentation of the necessary documentation for entry. Currently bordering countries are offering open entry to Ukrainians fleeing from the invasion of their country. Afaik border officials in these countries are still checking documents. And where people turn up who are not Ukrainian passports holders or who do not have the appropriate paperwork to travel to another country, the chances are they will be refused. Is it likley that some foreign nationals and others will get caught up with that yes. Screaming racism is about as bottom barrel scrapping as it can get.
Fcuk this thread moves fast.
Is the pope catholic ?
How I hope that we look back on this post in 1 year and think how right you are. Because the alternative is just too horrific to bear thinking about
Didn't realise that he was only child.
One hell of an actor.
The state sponsored Russian TV network. Nah... not at all 😂
