What are you doing by mentioning Greta Thumberg there? Trying to own the libs?
I just don't get how your mind joined these dots
And a whole lot more
It was going well till it All became fake News
Their mood has really changed in the last 2-3 weeks. They admit that the mobilisation and the war itself is going badly. They're still coming out with crazy stuff like talk of nuking the West but their demeanour is much more downbeat.
Lads who were in the fca 30 years ago ?
the point I was making is that it could be construed as an advantage from either side
His tears of frustration were prepared before he made his first post and the witch hunt started before he posted it seems.
well if you hit Dublin or Belfast directly you are wasting a lot of blast radius over the Irish sea..
Like I said, if you wanted maximum damage and possible multi city damage, you would offset the target destination.
If putin fires a nuke a moblized US colilition will remove all Russian forces from Ukraine within 96 hours that a quote from a retired US general.
To have heard that it's a pity this was not done sooner .
A no fly must be threatened if mass attack on infrastructure is started.
A quarter of a million Russian men have fled Russia
I don't care what anyone says but Putin deserves at least some credit for the speed of mobilisation, they are all going in the wrong direction, but still great enthusiasm.
👍️
I know,it remains to see
In most cases they have zero military experience...
But remember these are professional motivated and equipped soldiers 🤣🤣🤣
Good article with decent rational thinking indeed, but...
Lesson 101: Never let fact, logic or rational thinking get in the way of a decent conspiracy theory.
Tucker Carlson and Russian state media. BFF.
What a pairing.
Tucker Carlson and Nigel Farage as the modern day Tokoko Roses is quite an apt image.
Looks like there was at least four ruptures now:-
After hundreds of posts on the topic I think it can be boiled down to: clearly sabotage, probably Russia, but Russia, Tucker Carlson and a few others will insist it was the USA, and a few other loons will blame Germany.
Assuming it was Russia, just another ultimately self destructive act that will further isolate it and ensure Europe decouples itself from its energy even faster, which is at least one positive result
The idea that Russia wouldn't attack the gas pipes is similar to the idea that they wouldn't attack Ukraine. It is a terrible idea for them to do it. However, as we see frequently in life, something being a terrible idea does not mean it doesn't get done anyway.
One for the environmentalists:-
That's only the initial spike from NS2 it seems, will be interesting to see what long term effects NS1 and NS2 will have together on marine and the environment and global warming.
Maybe....
There goes about 5 years of us idiots paying a fortune to try achieve net zero.
Hopeless exercise with countries like Russia existing.
Coolio, ah FFS lads, seriously who did it, Russia or the US?
RIP
You will see when you get there....most likely it was Gangstas Paradise
This guy thinks it may have been Russian tall ships. If the details are correct (routes, timings, etc), then he makes an interesting case.
They are putting pressure on Oligarchs now to empty their savings and finance the war. IMO The pipeline destruction is definitely internal Russian manoeuvring to show what they think of and what they can do to their business interests if they don’t stay fully behind the regime.
Sure many of them have been thrown out of windows already for not being fully committed.
I read somewhere that the war was no longer about seeing Ukraine succeed, but about managing Russia's defeat, and I worry that when this war comes to an end, Russia will fully embrace its role as an active terrorist state, chipping away at infrastructure like energy supply lines, hacking into healthcare systems and so on. If the Russians did sabotage the pipeline, they may have done so to say we can reach into your territories whenever we want and do this and I think this kind of brazeness in sowing fear and social disorder is concerning. I've always considered Putin a cold-blooded, but rational actor, but now I'm beginning to think the Kremlin are so battered by the West's reposnse to their invasion, so entrenched in their own propaganda that they are genuinely nuts...
But, hasn’t Russia got a Stonk bank account and making hundreds of millions each day? That plus a 2m strong army.
The pictures of geriatric conscripts and Putin putting out the begging bowl must be false… am I right (whatever shills still present)?
The Russian public will ultimately sort this out, the way they have done so before when they've just had enough. You can imprison and suppress a certain amount of dissent but once it becomes widespread including in the military, it's impossible for any state to cope.
I heard one of our MEPs, I think it was Barry Andrews, saying we had a duty to offer shelter to fleeing Russian conscripts. Message to Barry Andrews MEP - f**k off - we don't want any of the like of them here. And we're full anyway thanks to the terrorist actions of their state.
Only problem I have with that, is the RuSSian public hasn't made good choices in the past. When they're rioting in the streets, it's bad. Generations of distrust of the West will likely mean outside intervention won't be welcome, either.
IMO I can see the 'eastern' parts of RuSSia becoming vassal governments to China, the fractious muslim republics splitting off somehow, and the Moscow circle collapsing and retrenching into 'legacy' RuSSia as an international pariah until they thrash it out. I don't think this will be a swift set of change, either.
