Everton played Mentalist Kharkiv a few years back.

This is encouraging news, the we were following orders excuse may not be used, perhaps the Russian ground troops don't want to risk their lives for a maniac.

So many people need to realise that now, and not go further down the rabbit hole with them.

I feel it’s been Putin’s plan all along. He’s had a 10-15 year plan culminating in this invasion.

Just beware, the first casualty of war is truth. Churchill I think said that.

God help them if it is true. They cannot be sent back. That would be a death sentence

Maybe they don't want to be sent back..

Indeed, but also some of the left:



It's in their interests to fund and influence the lunatics who occupy both the far-left and far-right in order to destabilise democracy.

STW have always argued that though; they and their predecessor organizations have been arguing it (and other things exculpating the USSR) since the 1920s and every other Western conflict.

They also have absolutely zero political impact. Both of which means they do not generally get funded by hostile regimes - it would be a waste of money given that they will do it for free. The alt-right on the other hand has loads of cash, and its not clear where that much of it comes from. Lots of them have links with Russia, too.

Protests in Moscow. Many, many Russians will be against this, particularly the younger generation.

Brave people, fair play to them.

Oh I do agree, I'm just pointing out that Russia wilfully take advantage of useful idiots on both sides.

Takes years for them to.take effect..Jess Phillips nailed it here.

Has he ever been right? I mean EVER!!

He won Brexit!

I wonder if other countries under Russias influence might take the opportunity to rise against a distracted Putin

No sanctions gonna stop Russia, its not like they didn't know its coming, and they still decided to proceed with a invasion.

A lot of big words gonna come next few days, but in reality Ukraine gonna be left dry and all the sanctions in the world not gonna help them.

America (only one who really matters) not gonna risk nuclear war for a sake of Ukraine

 

[Mrk]

Starmer looking every inch a prime minister there. Impressive.

No one thinks that sanctions will stop a war once it breaks out.

We impose sanctions to make the threat of sanctions credible the next time someone thinks about starting a war.
