Current Affairs Ukraine

Oh Joe

Going to get a proper kicking at the midterms

 

[Mrk]

Quite frankly, if Russia isn't immediately removed from SWIFT, we may as well just give up and not bother with any sanctions.

The Russian economy is weak. Russia is weak. We can (and should) cripple them.

I think the NATO shout is bum steer mate.

What we're seeing is the Kremlin's imperialism. Putin's desire to reinstate the Russian Empire.

I disagree with any imperialistic sphere of influence by any country. But I personally prioritise the biggest threat that has already most of the world in its grip. I see that as USA.

Reports of a nuclear waste facility being destroyed in fighting at Chernobyl.

This can’t be good.

That’s a massive worry with this - Ukraine has a fair few nuclear power plants still and if one of them gets hit it would be an absolute disaster

But this isn't changing any of that mate. He's just starting a war.

Yup. Look what happened in the NJ and VA Gov races. And his popularity has declined subsequently

Just be collateral damage to Vlad whilst he persues his sick dream of a renewed, invigorated USSR.

He will bring back the KGB as well (if it ever really went away).

Meanwhile the western "leaders" look on, waffling on about sanctions that are pointless and do nothing, aside from letting innocent people die.

Nuclear plants are designed to withstand a jumbo jet hitting them without any release of the nasties.

Most radiation releases are down to incompetence rather than external forces. Anything massively radioactive will be behind 8 foot of concrete.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Confirmed

 

[Shevin Keedy]

That'll show em!

They’re called the FSB.

Its a start and quite an about turn from German political and cultural dogma towards Russia

All that was sealed though when they couldn't pass anything because of Manchin and the other one whose name I can't remember. Given a chance to actually govern the Dems might of kept people on their side. Now it is instead back to the cycle of GOP screws everything up, Dems are elected, Dems try to clean up the mess but are handicapped by GOP obstruction so it doesn't get fixed immediately and people go right back to voting GOP again. We're such a dumb country and deserve our coming autocracy.
