Current Affairs Ukraine

[bicycleheader]

There are some flippant responses but most just seem to be missing the point about the UK's role in arming Ukraine.


In all fairness mate you've given decent responses and I've read yours because you said you didn't think I was trolling, I got about 20 notifications after my first two posts and couldn't reply to them all. Again though nobody actually wants to discuss the issue of the UK arming Ukraine and people keep trying to side-step that on here to ask what me what I think about borders and my thoughts on military tactics.

To be fair I don’t think you clearly said why one country should not assist another with arms when they are being invaded

Or why the invaded country should not cross over the border with troops themselves

Taking away Ukraine or UK or NATO, I wanted to know is this what you are trying to say, and if so what’s the thinking behind it and what should they do in these situations

Channel 4 news, russian crude refined in turkiye india and china, then sold here. 2.5% of some figure, first 6 months of this year has generated £190 for russian tax office.

Apparently. link when it occurs.

I mentioned in another thread about how Iranian oil is used here in the UK because of how it's blended with others; the very same happens with Russian oil.

This is exactly the sort of thing Thatcher or Reagan would have said, is this the level we're on in this forum now??

It's a level that's clearly flown over your head, because whilst I don't want to blow my own trumpet, I thought that post was a remarkable satire of what we still visualise the Western 'victory' over the USSR as being (and therefore directly mocking Thatcher and Reagan, two politicians I'm happy to lay much of the blame for pretty much everything on).

has he got a statue and does it cop the paint and ire that cooze from grantham gets?

@Mutzo Nutzo maybe why the Russian air arrests have been conspicuously quiet?

You’re not allowed to have views that go against western imperialism in this forum.

Firstly, lol @ “western imperialism” in a thread about Ukraine, who’ve been invaded by Russia.

Secondly, nobody in this thread has said you’re not allowed an opinion on it. He’s been asked a fair question, several times, about if it’s just Ukraine that aren’t allowed to cross borders or does he think that about any conflict?

I wouldn't worry, was spewing bile about another load of nonsense a few days ago. Take the pish, it's the only rational way of dealing with that specific account.

From what I’ve read of them in CA they align with many views most contributors agree with. Can’t imagine them spewing bile. They did get wound up by all the jokes about pensioners the other night, but I wouldn’t say they were spewing bile or are an account that only deserve ridicule?

I'm finished with it. Can't be arsed with it. Let Rita slag me off. Goodnight

There's very little slagging (ahem) by me at all, so how this was cooked up is a bit of a mystery.

Ridiculous statement. There’s only one imperialist aggressor in play here and that’s Putin and his desire to emulate Peter the Great and conquer neighboring sovereign nations.

This and the fact the Russian still colonises its empire and wants Ukraine back under its boot.

Ah the old Russian flat-face radar. It’s more of a low/very low level surveillance radar - so would be used to track drones, cruise missiles and low flying aircraft.

It does have a unique capability in that it can be used within dense forests where the canopy is higher than the antenna. However the Ukes still found it and whacked it

They've literally been flying the Russian Imperial flag

That was for the 300th anniversary of St Petersburg park were they put all the various flags up that had been around in the last 300 and odd years. Don't fall for misinformation from either side.

It's not the first time they've flown it. It's regularly flown at nationalistic events
