Do you think they exchanged insurance details?
I think we should make them the ambassadors to Russia and once they take up the role we jail the flutes on Orwell Rd....
Lol....
Your BS reminds me of when Russian state media claimed that a Ukrainian Air Force Su-25 jet had shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17
....followed by claims its was then shot down by a Ukrainian Buk after the first claim was debunked.
Lot of people seem to think if Putin was killed there would a significant danger of a nationalist taking the reigns and a subsequent escalation of violence in Ukraine.

Interesting interview with a military expert by Sophy Ridge on Sky News this evening. He reckons the war will eventually stop with some sort of North Korea - South Korea solution with a demilitarised border zone between Ukraine and Russia manned by the UN (assuming that the tyrant in the Kremlin isn't assassinated or replaced in the meantime).
I'd say Russia are loosening their buttholes after Ukraine was identified as being the likely offender
With MI5 saying today that there were 400 spies among 600 Russians thrown out of Europe this year, I’m frankly amazed that we haven’t heard more about the embassy here in Dublin.
“Ken McCallum, the director general of MI5, said in an annual speech outlining threats to the United Kingdom that this year 600 Russians officials had been expelled from Europe, 400 of whom his agency judged to be spies.”

Or the ambassador only. Let him do his own typing and answer the phone, eat takeways and use taxis to get around. 😁
Im happy with anything with the exception of rt and Sputnik for obvious reasons .
On that Belarus has been very vocal today between complaining about Ukraine planting mines within its own border and blowing up its own bridges to prevent access from Belarus,
Then claiming they shot down some kind of Ukrainan drones inside of Belarus.
Purely coincidence of course
There has been no definitive statement so were all just speculating on available information. If it said by NATO/Ukraine that it was a s300 that failed to hit it's target people will accept that.
Irony levels…
Some amount of bickery arseholery going on here, at the expense of level headed discussion. Lads here after attaching some sort of cause close to their heart and shutting down anything that goes against that, and ironically in a way that would have made the KGB proud. Must be easy fighting the war in the comfort of your home here in Ireland.
“Ukraine’s defense was launching their missiles in various directions and it is highly probable that one of these missiles unfortunately fell on Polish territory,” said Polish President Andrzej Duda. “There is nothing, absolutely nothing, to suggest that it was an intentional attack on Poland.”
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, at a meeting of the 30-nation military alliance in Brussels, echoed the preliminary Polish findings.
I understand that, which is why either a Russian one setup as ground attack launched from Belarus (NATO) didn't seem to track any though. Or a Ukrainian one which missed it's target and failed to self destruct in the air and fell to the ground in Poland and blew up on impact.
Edit: footage of an s300 crater (sorry for it being a sun video)
I have not seen that is there a link to this.
To me the crater looks to big to me ,to have been made by an s300 (open to correction), especially being there was a vehicle or structure hit first ,
Ukrainan ones aren't set up for ground attack
NATO, the Americans and the Poles are not just saying the missile came from Ukraine they are asserting with some certainty it was a Ukranian air defense missile. I don't think this can be glossed over; one side is either lying or badly mistaken here.
Nothing in common, what a stupid statement. One country wants to be part of the civilised World, the other is a terrorist state, commiting war crimes and deliberately targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure.
Lets remind ourselves of who attacks medical facilities shall we.

Thats 226 hospitals attacked by mid-march, but then they got plenty of practice in on Syrian hospitals didn't they!
300 hospitals in Syria.
Yet someone is making false assertions about indiscriminate Ukrainian missiles.

Typical AIM sidewinder has a 10kg warhead, an S300 warhead is 133kg. Crater doesn't look too big for 133kg explosion?
litany of examples for russia doing war crimes I have not seen a single one for Ukraine. I'm sure we have examples ? 🤔
Wrong
I don't know AA tends to go off like a shotgun near the target not heavy at all either.
@Economics101 "The crater in Poland where the missile(s) landed indicates a bigger explosion than would be caused by an anti-air missile."
It seems to me that kinetic energy + whatever fuel was left in the missile, would make a crater about that size.
What indiscriminate Ukrainian missiles? You made an assertion that is demonstrably false and I have asked for evidence, do you have any?
No one as said its not come from the Country of Ukraine. Unfortunately there is an active war and one side is not very accurate.
Explosions were reported at Russian military base in Dzhankoi
