Current Affairs Ukraine

This is well out of hand now

Getting real scary now. Escalation could happen at any time

ill-gotten gains that should've never been in their hands in the first place, really struggle to comprehend any defence of what was one of the most significant hollowings out of a state's assets (over such a short timeframe) ever seen; the people of Russia were robbed blind by these absolute criminals

Well it wasnt illegal as per the laws of the time.

When rich people acquire wealth, its rarely done fairly.

Nothing to do with that. It's that I quoted Kev and asked him a question, but you immediately answered with an answer as if from Kev. Hmmm...

I admit.
I'm Kev the rat and I do love Rafael Benitez

Its illegally gained money from corrupt politicians in the federation and the Duma.

You take that and give it to Ukraine.


As my last post stated and several others before I blame Biden along with the European leaders (whose countries i named) who have not imposed strict and real sanctions.

A number of posters wont have a bad word to say about Biden so decided to support him over taking action on Ukraine....while ignoring the other nations i spoke of.

Its a thread on Ukraine, while we watch their country be invaded by a foreign power leaving countless dead, injured and no doubt their lives destroyed.

Those leaders do nothing and their supporters will applaud them for it while watching atrocities unfold.

Its disturbing and horrifying.


Thats exactly what assets should have been frozen which would lead to the Duma and the Federation then putting pressure on Putin to cease the invasion.

Or of course an uprising.

Its black and white with these people who practice corruption...freeze their assets and if the war continues without them lifting a finger -- confiscate the assets.

Provide that capital to Ukraine.

Well where is your evidence its money from corruption. Has it been established in an impartial court?

NATO Sec General just announced that Russian cyber attacks on NATO states could well trigger article 5.

Never heard language like that before coming out of Brussels

Very worrying.

im seriously worried about the future safety of millions of European citizens and all @PhilM wants to do is carry on upping the ante so he can fight more battles

Will have a think about leaving Europe over the weekend because I want no part of this

[Charro]

If anyone thinks USA would let Putin have military bases and rocket's all along the border of Canada and Mexico they are sadly mistaken.

Stupid analogy.

He isn't wrong

He is and so are you.

These countries have asked for US missile defence protections to prevent the exact situation you're seeing now with Ukraine. The Russians have created a false justification for invasion, what is to stop them doing this again for the countries with US missile defence?

His point about Canada or Mexico is ridiculous. Neither country is under risk of attack from the US like Ukraine, Estonia, Finland are from Russia who had shown what they want to do in Georgia and Crimea already. If Canada or Mexico was under risk of attack from the US and asked Russia for protections it wouldn't justify an invasion from the US.

There is no justification for Russia initiating this war. By all means be as anti-US as you want but you can't argue that fact. Putins BS about neo-nazis is laughable. Especially when you see what they do to black footy players in their league.

I'm sure lots of people said the same with Alsace, The Sudetenland , Czechoslovakia, Poland and France et al. Let them roll around to keep the peace.

I’d much rather have peace on the continent, but Putin doesn’t appear to want peace comrade.

So many acts of bravery being shown by people in both Ukraine and Russia

There were no nuclear weapons at that time

Which bothers you because it renders all your battlefield tactics moot

 

[PhilM]

It didn’t stop fifty-five plus million people dying anyway, did it?
