Any indication if the Ukrainian President will address the Dail?
Agreed, poor choice of posting (didn’t intentionally post in bad taste), didn't think that one through and apologies to anyone offended
Well really any nuke on Ukraine should be a red flag for US and UK due to the 1994 agreement with Russia when Ukraine gave up its nukes. If they want a red flag...
I remember the red lines in Syria that Obama set....
What could Russia possibly gain by dropping a nuke on Kiev?
Absolutely nothing.
That's why it's never going to happen.
I know a chap, called Sean, got the biggest forehead you've ever seen. I reckon if he could shimmy his way between you and it sharp enough it'd bounce off right enough.
If Zelenskyy and Putin are really, as per Israeli sources, "closing in" on a deal - perhaps, just perhaps, Putin wasn't as "insane" as everyone has held out?
Crazy to launch this war of aggression yes, but maybe not "insane".
Surely he has about 2000 more important things to be doing... can we not spare him that... he already did the European parliament.
Although I hope EmbassyGate brought a chuckle to him for a moment.
Coca-Cola Co said on Tuesday it is suspending its business in Russia, following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine
There are what's called "tactical nukes" low yield. Hypothetically Putin could drop one and it would maybe be like twice a MOAB. Big enough to perhaps illicit a surrender, but not quite big enough to illicit any major retaliation.
I don't think he'd do that. I think we're at the beginning of the end of this war. Diplomatic frenzy behind the scenes seems to be coming to a head.
Look - Please re read my posts. I have highlighted MANY TIMES
I am not leaving the world to the faith of anything. I am offering a good faith opinion on this crisis. I am also highlighting the massive soft power front which has opened up, and is growing, in the face of Putin's Russia. I agree with your assessment of them WITHOUT RESERVATION - they are self serving ****bags and i would add to that. Absolute Liars and con men .
The only thing i am not advocating is a shooting war between two nuclear armed power blocks - and i am on solid ground to do so
There is no logic to us arguing, we are on the same side. I urge genuine caution on this topic @TheTruth89 - all i am doing is relaying my knowledge, and studies which do have merit in this situation. You are free to disagree but please do so without getting nasty
No hard feelings, please
Never, ever, trust the **** Romulans.
A lot of foreign volunteers arriving
Georgian volunteers
Obama didn't seem to know that the British government (when Gordon Brown was PM, I think) had decided that it would not take military action abroad ever again without parliamentary approval. Cameron accepted the majority vote against such action. However, May didn't seek such permission when she authorised the RAF to do airstrikes alongside Trump's forces in retaliation for later chemical attacks.
Like a lot of it.
Whether this holds or no I don't know, but I think Russian forces are gathering for something big in the next few days
Bad news for Russian dentists.
Beware the Ides of March. Et tu Sergei?
Spokesman for the Israeli PM said in their meeting that Putin was completely calm and sane. Not rage filled or anything. A calm, stone cold killer you might say.
I think we have to remember what happened during Russia's invasion of Georgia. The US told Lavrov directly that they were flying Georgian troops back from Iraq so they could join the fight against the Russians. They also told them they were sending a flotilla of Navy vessels to escort a convoy of supplies to relieve Georgia and Russia was not to interfere with any of these operations. Russia didn't lift a finger.
You were saying a few days ago he was and nuclear war was imminent, before that there was no way he would invade, if the "closing in" fails will you be going back to him being insane?
Again, just to remind of the usual disclaimer here, we are receiving a lot of Ukrainian-centric info, as it can be easier to fall into a trap of believing Ukrainian forces doing better than they really are, likewise that Russian forces doing worse. That said, the picture seems to be Russia are underperforming in relation to their goals, and the Ukrainian military are (so far) giving them a tough fight.
Back this up when Bangladesh has another massive flooding and are looking for aid. Send them a link to the Kremlin website. You voted for your leaders.
Putin could claim a victory? Strike terror into other cities holding out? Up the ante to the EU and the US. Some experts say he could.
And in general, it does not even have to be a nuclear missile.....most common or garden type missiles flying towards you will have the same effect.
There's a video on Twitter of an old couple in a car who were deliberately targeted and killed by a Russian armoured vehicle. Absolutely heartbreaking and maddening.
The whole shipping of MiGs to Ukraine has been a clusterf*ck from start to finish. On/off...on/off
Will there be a boycot/backlash?
