Bombers arrived indeed...... a week after you said they were airborne..... 🤣🤣
Russian midair refueling seem to work so😏
Plus anyone applying for a visa and coming from a rogue country - IN WHATEVER SHAPE OR FORM - should not be issued with a visa until such countries behave in a civilised manner
ALSO , the whole ambassador issue should be revisited . I suggest that , for example, all EU member states would be the ambassadorial representative to Ru on behalf of all EU member states or whatever number agree with the concept. This strategy would significantly reduce the chances of Ru interfering in undesirable ways with sovereign states, reduce spying, etc. it would also reduce security costs for the state. Ru could not accuse any state buying into the strategy of Making the whole embassy thing ineffective. Why ? . Eg, if Ru wants to discuss some idea with Ireland , then it came contact the Irish contact in the ‘EU’ embassy - so no change therefor as to how things are handled at embassy level . It’s just a more efficient way of handling embassy business going forward - there being such little business to be handled anyway with a rogue state until Ru starts to behave in a civilised manner
What’s wrong with it as a short term measure until russia starts to behave properly
Thats what i thought,and far from any ethnic cleansing anyway
That's gonna make its way to a 50x50 captcha.... Click the squares with the dead orcs!
Very little, if any vehicle tracks, it's literal human wave attacks, absolutely insane in this day and age.
Now you care ,
Where are the bombers comes to mind
Then came the air strikes on apartments blocks.....
Yeah accurate comes to mind
He's aiming it at me ....
My post not to name names of course,
Definitely didn't mention murder, violence, military action,
On today's menu....
500 dead sounds better ... who cares for accuracy
When did i say that?
I still think you misunderstand where language comes in?
And i dont think you understand how Putin uses the russian language as a weapon for his seperatist formula
And to fall down to Russias level is not what anyone wants
Let's try to take a more middle ground approach on this - if any Russians living in EU/NATO countries are found to be engaging in activities which compromise national security, they can be jailed or deported. Russians seeking entry to EU/NATO countries in order to work & live, or just to visit should be given visas only after extensive vetting is carried out, and even then there should be a limit on overall numbers allowed to come.
Don't want to pick on an individual but
"What needs to happen once ukraine is settled ,is Russian populations need to be reduced across Europe, especially with the balkans or stop more Russians travelling to settle in Europe,let the current population dwindle with age"
That sounds pretty close to ethnic cleansing to me.
Perhaps the murder part is missing but it's getting very close. Particularly systematic reduction of population of a single unpopular culture. Even dictators feel that their views are righteous.
Looks more like 200 dead + 300 wounded than 500 dead going by that tweet
Russia wont take another direction,this is the playbook Putin plays by,and take advantage of.
Only thing thats going to stop that is to prevent the misinformation and seperatist formula that Russia uses,and language happens to be the key there.
And russiophobia is often used together with genocide as an excuse to stir up trouble and have an excuse to send Peacekeepers or simply invade because Russians are threatened.
Where does Ethnic cleansing comes into it,we are talking about languages?
Why should Russians have the advantage of speaking russian in another country when it obviously is being used to stir up trouble?
They asked for it themselves,remember.
They actually demands it as first language many places?why
Would Russia like if Fins living in Karelia demanding only Finnish to be spoken?
Think you misunderstood the whole thing here
Given the choice ( and especially now) a large proportion of Russians would have nothing to do with Putin, none the less, willing or unwilling Putin is able to use them as his excuse and justification for invading. In Georgia. he was handing out Russian passports to anyone who wanted one, even foreigners could have gotten one. He did this to increase the Nrs he was "Protecting". At some point in time, I can see this strategy coming back to bite him in the ass, with Xi Jinping doing the biting. Xi has started putting the old Chinese names on Russian maps beside the Russian names, showing who owned them in the past. Putins headaches are going to get worse, much worse down the road. I wonder has he sent Xi a Diplomatic Note voicing his displeasure over this mapping issue?
@greenpilot flown over
Spain
-The U.K.
-Norway
-Denmark
-Germany
-Poland
-Estonia
-Latvia
-Lithuania.
And still going
flew close to kalingrad too (9miles),
True power projection
Very true
Dead can not run for a president
Just shows Money speaks,he tried the same with Argentina a few years ago so they could reinstate their sovereign territories,aka here's a few jets now go take the Falklands back with some assistance from the Kremlin,
Didn't happen in the end
More stupidity.
But unfortunately even in this country the Russians are loyal to and support Putin either through fear or they genuinely believe Russian are the master race superior to all others, that's dangerous the biggest supporters of the far right and separatists across Europe and the balkans is the Kremlin,
There has to be push back, look at all those who fled the Russian mobilisations they still support Putin they just don't want to fight and die in Ukraine,
But allowing more and more Russians into Europe will lead to more issues in the future
You’d think Russia could do with every Whirpool chipped aircraft they can build themselves.
Very lofty ideals. Putin certainly approves of your stance. You won’t be the first up against the wall.
I see it as part of a larger ideological war, one which western globalist capitalist ideology is winning hands down. The more individual liberty and wealth we bring people, the less likely they are to support authoritarian regimes. The propaganda is a huge problem though. It also seems wrong to collectively punish people who have nothing to do with the Russian government.
Just Russians put very tight restrictions on their movement, ability to own businesss or properties,that or every few years another group aligned to Moscow decide they want independence from a EU state and another localised frozen conflict begins ,
Cut the cancer out to stop it spreading
Sure, I am aware of the strategy of using expats to invade a country as an excuse to invade, it still doesn't mean we should look to cleanse europe of a certain ethnicity or culture as seems to be suggested. If you become your enemy to defeat your enemy, you have basically lost already.
Iran is buying su35s from Russia,it's been in the pipeline for several years,but I think Irans weapons to Russia helped seal the deal,
But won't be much use against the Israelis upgraded F35s,
I think that must depend on what direction Russian society takes if and when Russia is defeated in Ukraine. You do have to at least leave the door open for rehabilitation of a country and its society, otherwise you're essentially helping engineer more conflict down the road. Obviously Russia would have to work on itself in order for that rehab to happen, though. If it doesn't, then what you're suggesting would probably be the only way.
It was the exiled oligarch Berezovsky who most threatened Putin at one point.
There was a real good chance at one point that he could have taken Putin down politically, well before Ukraine. Hence 6 assassination attempts before well, spoiler alert.
You want people like that, and those educated types capable of designing, sourcing and manufacturing, to be able to flee the regime.
When theres a dictatorship in power you want to leave the means in place for the opposition and rival elites to escape and attack from safety.
If locked inside Russia they can't oppose and can only add to the dictatorship.
The stories of Russian oligarchs in London (and their many eventual fatal accidents) are fascinating.
of course some oligarchs don't meet strange ends in London. some of them end up befriending Bojo and become lords.
