CAN COMRADES GIVE UPDATE BRIDGE PLZ (please)

Russia will pay dearly for starting this war. With all the western sanctions, they'll be dragged back to the days of fighting it out, for the last available loaf of bread at the shop soon enough.

Lubricant delay? Is this a reference to your sex life? Maybe not for a football forum eh?

Good point David.

Classic US propagandist you are LL

Tbh it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility if in the early days of the buildup if the USA intelligence agencies didn’t share exactly everything they knew - they are pretty keen on keeping sources confidential and if they had someone close to Putin who said ’this is the date‘ I would imagine they wouldn’t have broadcast it much for fear of exposure.

But once stuff was available by more conventional means, eg satellites, I would have thought they would share it, they certainly seemed to be doing a lot more public discussion than usual and it was in everyone’s interests and were virtually jumping up and down shouting ‘Russia is going to invade” near the end.

Odd as it might seem the old pariah state the USSR was a much more pleasant place than modern day Russia. Think they'll do okay long-term.

I really worry Putin has no one brave or strong enough around him to stop him if he wants to use any nuclear weapon. Armageddon then can easily escalate. Truss is our strong and stable finger on the button.

How does Putin escape from the disaster he has created?

The head of GCHQ was quoting Putin's conversations. Who knew.

There's more than enough people in Russia, to stand up to the effer and overthrow him but no one will do it.

You've got it he doesn't,he's painted himself into a corner. Buy iodine tablets.

Please dont use USSR, nobody knows what you mean.

So many acronyms flying around this thread it's always prudent to check. It's just that you appeared to be typing as if you'd lost the plot. It's Ukraine or the Ukraine (just for future clarity)

God forbid you should answer the question when the time is much better spent indignantly pretending that no-one has ever used the shorthand "UKR" to mean Ukraine. In a discussion about Ukraine. In a thread entitled "Ukraine".

Thank goodness I didn't express an opinion on the RUS invasion. Imagine the confusion.
