Current Affairs Ukraine

[NilSatisOptimum]

Mate, there are subs all around the world with nuclear missiles. I am seriously concerned that this is going to escalate.

None of us can be complacent.

Really frightening times.

Know what you mean events in war can and will take unexpected turn> War has its own kinetic energy and events can soon escalate... Sure I've heard an exact term or phrase.
Even when Chernobyl went up still had consequences on these shores. I know i joked yesterday about the Russians in the south east getting a nuke, but we are all goosed if it ever happened, not that I think will, well blind hope it wont.

Big Joe waffling his way through a speech here

This isn't waffling as I understand the word

Is there any danger Aeroflot would try and land in UK despite the ban. They are very much Government controlled. I flew with them in 92 and it was clear the staff were ex military. That includes the cabin staff!!

Tough gig to land a commercial aircraft without domestic ATC.

Why would they do that though, they’ll end up with a load of planes with no fuel and no passengers being left at airports in the uk costing them an absolute fortune.

Erik Prince interned after college for Dana Rohrabacher, who was known as "Russia's favorite Congressman". He went on to found Blackwater, which has received billions in private defense contracts all over the world and engaged in horrible atrocities. He's currently under investigation by the DOJ for lying to Congress.

Dude is a war-profiteering scumbag.

Didn't know that there was a connection to Rohrabacher. All too aware of who Rohrabacher was. Thanks for pointing that out.

Your country has already given Ukraine NLAW missiles and many Russian tanks have been effing busted with them so give your Johnson hate a rest mate

Trust me, he has neither the wits nor guile to come up with that.
Johnson is a bigger tool than Putin, despite being beholden to Russian money.

I see the "We're all gonna die" brigade have logged on early tonight.

The great thing about nuclear weapons is the mutually assured destruction. You'd have to be suicidal or completely indifferent to the fate of your people to launch a nuke at anybody, anywhere.

Have you heard of Vlad the Mad or...?

I think it is unlikely myself, so surely no danger of a Russian plane getting shot down by UK.

Really worrying times nevertheless.

Do we have any Ukrainian GOTers?
If so, stay safe!!

What we need in this crisis is razamataz.

Johnson dressed as Churchill with boxing gloves knocking out a man, dressed as a bear, in a Putin mask is the tone we must set.

Boring and waffling aren't the same thing!

Very little, plus there's more chance of them doing such nefarious acts with Baltic states or other countries nearby. Right now, we're not the centre of attention.

I believe none of our Type 45s are at sea and we have one offshore patrol vessel in the Med. It isn't going to happen.

Imagine being unlucky enough to find yourself in the current situation they face and also support Everton. Its rough.

I didn’t know how to reply so resulted in text combat.
