Current Affairs Ukraine

I haven't been following it all too closely for a while until the last couple of days but it all seems to be ramping up to some sort of crossroads...where is everyone's thoughts on the likelihood of Nato getting involved directly? Still no chance as before or more chance as time goes on?

You better pray this will never happen or else this will be wwiii.

Rus started the war

Yeah, we know

Cool. That’s the way to debate.

There are evil people on both sides. But then I'm sure you are aware of that already. Not that you'd ever admit it.
BBC had an opinion some years ago

I read this post, some people actually believe they are on moral high ground.

Rus started the war because countries gang up and the alliance’s sphere of influence (enlargement to the east) move within 800km of Rus’s capital.

Btw I don’t support war because innocent citizens will suffer the most.

But you will excuse it, and why isn't the Swedish girl in Ukraine now eh eh?

She is supposed to be an “environmental activist” and not saying anything (a post in social media will do) about the nuclearwaste water issue so what do you expect me to say?

If you want to discuss this let’s do it on the environmental thread please.

You've done everything I expect of you thus far

Well-done. By doing this you earn nothing though, while “at work”.

We have ballistic missiles that can travel hundreds of thousands of miles.

It doesnt matter how close or far we are to Moscow.

What a terrible argument.

Depends on what type of mussiles.

The shorter the distance the less time it will take to hit the target (same type of missile firing from 800 km or 2000 km away). The longer the distance (between the launcher and the target) when a missile is fired, the more time you can react and launch the self defence mussiles. If you can deploy ballistic missiles 1300 km closer to your target, surely this is your advantage？

So no, you have a terrible argument.

We have Apollo rockets and space shuttles that can do that. Not sure we have missiles that can whirl around the planet 5 times.

And I am not saying it’s all done to Kiev is 800km from Mos. So don’t twist and turn it.

Im not twisting anything.

You on the other hand are drinking Putins kool aid.

It doesnt matter how close "we" are to Moscow, it matters not a jot, unless we are attempting to spit on them.

SRBMs are effective to 300 miles (480 km), MRBMs from 300 to 600 miles (480 to 965 km), IRBMs from 600 to 3,300 miles (965 to 5,310 km), and ICBMs more than 3,300 miles…

Maybe not hundreds and thousands, but we dont need to sit on Putins lap to fire missiles at him.

Fun fact.

No one wants to bomb Moscow.
