He’s right though. No amount of patronising grammar policing will detract from the fact that you’re leader needs taking out ASAP.

I simply chose his last post on the thread to highlight him being a dick doing that mate to me about three posts earlier.

Fair enough ?

Let the great GOT grammar war commence!

lol

You did that one deliberately Laz, and I love you for it

Wasn't exactly subtle though was it

If Vlad stays away from open top motorcade trips he's probably safe. The fact he's likely to be replaced by someone even more hawkish is neither here nor there.

I'm truly not bothered mate, my grammar on here is and always has been atrocious.

Fat fingers, phone and bad eyesight and typing at a million miles per hour doesn't lend itself to not making errors. But I specifically don't criticused others for it either unless their being a dick about mine

I just find it weird as anything that the percieved view on here seems to be "Russians should take out Putin for sending their friends, husbands, brothers and kids to die' - should they put blame on him, yup damned right to do so.

But errrrm, slight thing here, the deaths are being inflicted by Ukranians using NATO weaponry, from troops trained by NATO, and using stategic planning, targetting and guidance provided by NATO.

Now remember the anger when the 'fake' story hit the media about Russian bounties paid on dead us soldiers in Afhganistan, now ask the question will the vast majority of Russians blame the person who started the war or will the blame be directed towards those helping the killing of Russians.

I'm not saying right or wrong, I'm saying ask that very pertinent question.
So take an imaginary example.

If your brother or friend served in Iraq and was killed by an Iraqi who was using a newly supplied Russian anti tank weapon, the person firing it had just returned from training in Moscow how to use it, and your real time location was supplied to him by a Russian military analyst, are you marching with a gun to downing street or Washington to remove Blair or Bush or are you now hating the Russians?

Working class Russian troops who joined up to escape poverty ( looted toilets and washing machines) and are taking part in an invasion of a sovereign state deserve a slow painful death. Working class British troops who joined up to escape poverty and took part in the invasion of Iraq (sovereign state) not so much.

How much do they commit to military spending? Do Sweden actually have any military requirements? Do Finland other than the potential for a skirmish with Russia?

Have they both signed up for a huge white elephant in reality?

Both Sweden and Finland currently contribute approx 1.4/1.5% of their GDP to defence spending, with plans to increase that to 2% over the next few years. Both Sweden and Finland see NATO membership as a benefit for mutual and collective defence.

Russian strategic bombers, fighters and EW platforms continue to breach both Finnish and Swedish national airspace and have done for years. The Russian SSBN bastion zone is located directly above the Kola pensinsula (close to Finnish and Swedish northern borders) - if and when they launch their nukes it will be from this area, so yeah I understand why they want NATO membership.

Haven't both Sweden and Finland both got massive reserves in the army ?.
Sure I read somewhere Finland can call up 9 hundred thousand if they go to war.

So the Ukrainian people shouldn’t defend themselves then

But let's be realistic, neither country in any conceivable scenario was going to be invaded by Russia, so where is the advantage for the people?

To be fair a typo is a typo, you just used the wrong word , a simple mistake.

It's social media and we're all mailing it in to some degree or another. It's not like we're subjecting our posts to six revisions before putting them out there.
