This was laughable. One image shows him in a round backed chair. The video shows him speaking in a different chair 🤣
Spoke too soon

There's loads of them in this thread hotmail.
Generally you'll find it's the decadent and depraved anti-woke cult that calls everybody they disagree with "Nazis".
But when a dictator denies the right to existence of a neighbouring state and people, openly talks about returning to the borders of an imperial empire which was banished over a century ago, and unleashes a barbaric war of aggression upon a peaceful neighbour, suddenly they object to the use of the term "Nazi".
It would almost make you think they had an actual soft spot for actual Nazis.
Unbelievable, they will be blaming Putin next for it.
Polish may get a fleet of F-16's in return and Ukrainian pilots won't require much training for the upgraded Mig-29's so it's a positive move.
Incidentally watching the refugee reports from Poland and elsewhere - the welcome and support strangers are willing to offer has restored some of my faith in humanity.
Why would NATO intervene ? It's not as if Ukraine will be making anything dangerous there is it. Why would Nuland be concerned, do you think she knows what is going on there ?
The Russians have a list of around 2 million Ukrainians who comprise their civil socitey, whom the Russians plan to expunge. They have their names and addresses already and I have seen some fleeting clues that they are already going door to door in places.
The risk can and should be taken. Here's a little thought experiment based on the above.
Let's say Russia sets up concentration camps with gas chambers and starts exterminating one million Ukrainians a month, so potentially a 42 month run.
Is there any point while such a thing unfolds where you stop saying a risk can't be taken, or would you continue to hold that view for 42 months?
If your nerve would break after x million were slaughtered, then you should have intervened at the start before the camps were ever erected.
My moral compass does not hold that you can sit it out that you should take the risk. To me, the idea that there is no cost too great to suffer because of a percieved greater risk is unimaginable.
I don't need to watch 2 million of Ukraines best and brightest expunged to know that preventing that attrocity is a risk worth taking now and shouldn't be something debated with regret in hindsight.

I think the point being is that we've had many wars since 1945 and no one mentions these. They leap straight back to Hitler and the Nazis for almost anything these days.
Well if people know about Nazis they know what we're dealing with here, don't they. Russian Nazis.
Jesus, Nuland has to admit in front of the Senate that they have biological labs miles from the Russian border, and somehow that's an excuse for NATO to enter into conflict in Ukraine.
How would you feel if you were a Russian and you saw that admission? Do Russian people not feel fear as well?
This really is some mess of a thread at this stage.
Who are these people? The vast vast majority despise Putin and disagree with the invasion. I don't know anyone that doesn't think this.
It's fascinating that you are so historically and contemporarily illiterate that you think the Putin regime is communist, and yet think you should be commenting.
Reminds me of the chap on Liveline today who freely admitted to not knowing where Ukraine was on the map two months ago, but saw no problem in talking about it with the confidence of an expert.
I'd say he still can't pick out Ukraine on the map.
For the life of me I just cannot understand how anybody, anybody at all, including those Putin apologists on here (Irish people?) are defending him. I watched Alex Crawford's piece on Sky at 9pm and am still crying, 2 hours later. I can't find a link to the vid but this is the article. Shame on anyone who supports Putin in his illegal land grab war in Ukraine

I doubt it
If the research is that important why not have it in a Nato country in the first place ?
I think those are Ukrainian research facilities and not NATO sponsored research labs
"From the West" ? is that where you are, or is it where your looking at?
"From the West"
Tbh the movement of the migs to Germany and the ongoing negotiations are probably linked; pretty much to show the west means **** business and if he wants to go down that road he's gonna get a slap.
People only know about Nazis and that's it, it seems.
What does this mean in layman's terms if the Russians were to gain control of them?
Would they be important enough for NATO to intervene?
I noticed in the report on the News at 10, the guy in Moscow didn't use the word "war" in his reporting. Main presenter in Lviv asked a question to him using the word "war" but the response was then carefully chosen to not repeat the term.
I guess they just keep it closed forever 😆
The latest phase of the snaking regarder comms strategy is basically "everyone do what Putin says, he's got nuclear weapons". This is point we're at.
This reminds me.
Fiction writers are going to love the new cold War. When you had the remake of Red Dawn with North Korean protagonists you knew things had gone a bit stale. Even political espionage thrillers were either set during the cold War or were just remakes of Cold War classics.
Speaking of Trolling Putin, Ukraine should acknowledge Russian demans with counter proposals.
1. Russia cedes Russian territory up to 10km from Moscow.
2. Ukraine accepts Russia can request to join NATO.
3. Ukraine does not desire to send in Ukrainian troops to police rRussia.
It's fascinating how Nazi is becoming synonymous with Russian on this thread.
The Nazis were a bunch of swines as we all know but Vladimir Putin is literally a throwback to Soviet era Russian Communism which was a system that was a death machine all of its own.
I get that people need to simplify everything these days, however as well know Nazis were awful, but so were Communist regimes, nothing kills it's own people like a good old fashioned communist dictatorship.
Has there already been a run on their banks?
Well you may favor it NATO boots on the ground.
but logically : IT WONT HAPPEN. Im not gonna post more and more RE nuclear war, deterrence, balance of power strategy etc etc etc - You cannot take the chance. And you shouldn't.
on Andrei V Kozyrev (figured it was him, but the way you mentioned it - i was like, WHAT!? - or ANDREI!!!)
Listen that all sounds perfectly salient to me. but i should point out, unless missing something BIG
NO WHERE in that thread does former Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev advocate a
What he does say is .. ambiguous (see below)
Listen morally i am with you , (and i am sorry if i caused offence) - I want to do something - but this situation is dangerous - and i can honestly say i cannot see it going your way (boots on the ground)
i COULD see
All IMHO
I think people just need to be practical and logical in these situations.
Thankfully no Irish person is in charge of NATO.
What is happening now ? …… jaysus ……
Probably referring to this marvelous idea:
The Russian embassy in Lisbon.
I can't see him having designs on Moldova. At most I would see him linking up with Transnistria, which is de jure Moldova, but hasn't really had anything to do with that country since the fall of the USSR. NATO's response to the invasion of Ukraine has been pretty firm - something Putin did not appear to be much expecting. We can only shudder to think what going near Poland, an actual NATO member, would be.
