Good article on the U.K. conservative leadership issue playing out with Ukraine.
The woman that took a trip to Moscow that cost the British tax payer 500k because a private jet was used.
Politics truly has become the arena of the spoofing, brazen, hard nosed c grade student.
We are a long way from the likes of Lincoln, Daniel O Connell, Mandela, Gandhi, JFK, Rooselvelt, Collins

To be honest it's a long game - and oil wise ( and coal ) it's rearranging the deck chairs ... Give it 6 months europes oil will come from somewhere else ,
But - and it's a big but - it's American ( and some European) firms that get Russian oil and gas out of the ground and exported, and they're all pulling out of Russia , that's the finance and the engineers ..
Even haliburton who will work with anyone is pulling out .. so who'll extract the oil ? No oil - no cash . No military
( And the small matter of oil at 150 to 180 dollars a barrel- )
Add to that russian oil is difficult to extract

I have seen a few extracts from the letter. Some load of tripe. More or less a licience for Putin to march wherever he wants to
Yup, cowards doing their thing.
Meanwhile, Poland just gave Ukraine 200 tanks, plus a LOT more goodies.
The Queen of Spain sent grenade launchers and sausages 😁
Since the invasion began on the 24th February.
Russia has lost.
873 Tanks.
2238 Armoured vehicles.
179 Planes.
154 Helicopters.
408 Artillery systems.
Among the planes was an aircraft possibly carrying 200 soldiers in February.
You forgot the boateen
The two boateens even
I'm not sure the IL76 ever happened tbh, I've never seen evidence of it.
More orc tanks went pop! today

As Shell and Exxon Mobil, are pulling out of partnerships they had in Russia, the skills and technology to produce oil will no longer be there, production from Sakhalin island which supplies oil to east Asia and Australia will be limited by this move
Nice little repair bill for their latest self combustion incident, you only have to look to Venuzula to see what Russia will turn into when big oil pulls out and leaves them go their own devices https://mobile.twitter.com/igorsushko/status/1520283961678729216
Seems about the height of their planning tbh
Almost....
But no cigar unfortunately

I see Snake Island the thread starter for this, is back in Ukrainian hands.
That's massive.
Any bit of symbolry is being done on the Ukrainian side before Russia's victory day parade.
It looks like the intel from Russian forces goes straight to the Pentagon and ukraine before it goes to the Kremlin..
More than that ... Didn't they get another one with an mlrs early on ? The Ukrainians are claiming to have put 8 boats and ships out of action ..( dunno for how long )
Bayraktar sank two more boateens this morning

People are funny
Even with all the media coverage I think we have only heard a fraction of the horrors in Ukraine. I can't see how Russia or any Russians can ever come back from this. They will be know as for this for at least a generation so even if the War ended tomorrow Russia will be out in the cold for years
Logistics thread from way back in March, pallets go to war....

So the bastards threatened us with being wiped off the map last night..
The time has come to kick their lying ambassador out or at least move him to Donegal where he'll get the wave first..

They'll definitely get no heating oil next winter
Israel support neo-nazi's now apparently, Father.......... had to add "Father", felt too much like a line out of Fr Ted

I was going to post yesterday wasn't it nice to see Russian soldiers fighting on the Ukraine side flying a white blue white flag.
Then today
On another note. That's Russia's warning to leave the Irish northwest. Harrods in London would probably be a safe sanctuary.
Their f**King demonic, Russia is morphing into a isis type narco terrorist caliphate, going forward they need to be treated as such
I struggle to believe humans are capable of such atrocities
