It is,but you still have to cross over Ukraine or Romania to get to Moldova
I guess the Russian version of Bunga Bunga
Internal sabotage or incompetence \ general Russian attitude to precautions \ maintenance.
Internal sabotage?
Vladivostock is on the Pacific? I can't see Ukraine having a hand in it.
I had an old guy talking to me in the shop the evening who thought Russia will at some stage disintegrate into some kind of civil unrest disorder. Not quite a civil war but something similar. Putin is making far too many enemies in Russia to ride all this out. The army could get tired of his orders. The media in Russia can't fight a war for him on his own doorstep.
I’m not sure, I was watching live on sky news.
Has it even been repaired yet. If not that's gas. Probably can't find a company.
This isn't a good sign
The Black Sea is an obvious non NATO air corridor and route.
Probably the same reasons why we didnt raise hell over Taoiseach Charlies Haughey's corruption, embezzlement, tax evasion etc.....

I know how to defeat the horde, thanks to you! Next time Lavrov opens his vile jowl shrouded facial orifice and threatens the one sided nuclear conflict that will deliver a consequence free win to the horde, tell him to go ahead, as we have actually been looking forward to an excuse for unleashing and trying out the secret gay/lesbian rat bombs.
Each munition releases a small horde of rats that have been genetically altered so they have a manic and insatiable desire to savage humans. These rats in turn carry a human transmissible virus which targets the brain and turns any male victim gay and stimulates their libido immensely, to the point they go on male raping rampages. Female victims become lesbians and radical feminists.
And best of all, the virus is genetically selective so as to only affect slavs, which their own idiocy driven propaganda considers both to be possible and to exclude Ukrainians.
That should play to a slew of Vlads more noticeable phobias.
Imagine their acute dilemma as to whether to counter the obvious nonsense that echos their own, or to try and exploit it.
And one Le Pen.
Is there a clip of this ?
True but at the same time the same he green lit the sale of American grain that the Carter administration had previously embargoed due to the Russian invasion of Afghanistan.
Politicians do what they believe will be best for them personally or economically for their county. Often the former is the one which matters most.
Or not give enough time for the laser to be detected by the tanks as they can detect lasers?
I read this fella and his team were eventually ambushed by the Russians and killed.
He's gone from playing chess, to playing poker to playing... I don't know, Buckaroo or something.
Just watching Putin with UN Secretary General here.
He looked like he was gonna go for the throat ; something about Kosovo and then appeared to get a bit confused, Paused and then went off on a waffle about Mariupol. He’s a bit all over the place here.
Hes a great lad for talking absolutely Pony, I will give him that. He’s clearly drinking his own coolaid, pissing in a glass an drinking it again.
They're a fascinating mix of total arrogance and conceit wrapped up in a huge inferiority complex. Probably the whole war can be explained though this - a deluded country, not knowing its place in the world.
Another warning to those dragging their heels. All efforts must be made to decouple from Russian energy asap
The Russian media are absolutely bonkers.
Most neutrals would say that a neutral country that was attacked by an aggressive and criminal regime neighbour has every right to strike targets inside the territory of that neighbour (let's not forget that Russia ended up invading Germany in 1945 in direct response to having been invaded itself by them). And as far as I know, supplying weapons and intel to a country you regard as friendly is perfectly legal in international law.
I laughed...there's a few that have posted in the past who could draft Ireland's condolences on the death of Putin if he really is ill and declining as people keep speculating! Probably write a eulogy that would draw a tear from a stone!
The question that needs to be asked is why there was no hell raised in Germany when Gerhard Schroeder started working for Russian energy companies.
In the early 80s, as the USSR was completing a pipe from Siberia to Western Europe, a CIA memo to Reagan concluded that the project would result in a long term strategic and security threat to Europe.
The US mounted a technology and economic embargo against the pipe, which West Germany -deep in the throes of Ostpolotik- rejected, and eventually, West German interests won out.
The first time I heard about Russian gas going to Europe I knew instinctively it would be a bad idea. That was a long time ago. But these gas deals are made by business people rather than politicians.
Since the late fifties Germany has been building economic links with Russia, started buying a lot of gas in the 70's. Kept flowing the entire Cold war. On Feb 24th this year, Putin has effectively undone all of that. Although some Germans are still having difficulty accepting reality.
I doubt it. I think they would just hope Moldova would satisfy the horde.
Idiots who like to talk up history as a worthy teacher of lessons need to explain how appeasing Putin's going, as a proof of the concept.
