Current Affairs Ukraine

Nothing to see here…just my local mayor tweeting out his admiration for Putin.

Stock market closure will be down to Russia. No way to know how long it will be shut for. Why open it?

FX market is during weekdays but the institutions are now banned from trading the majors so...

They may as well close all the banks too.

I give this until Monday when there will be a revolt and I dont believe Russia will be able to pay the army then either.






Surely all the planes and weapons being delivered within Poland will make quick work of those sitting ducks.

Not sure if you are British based... WW2 is often peddled out for the flag waving facist as in UK stood alone . Having spent some time in Berlin pre 2010, was interested with the amount of Russians visitors and their obsession with the defeat of Nazi Germany good thing yes, but this was a different level of glorification, in what they term "The Great Patriotic War".
This is not war that is remembered in the same way as it is the West. They literally live it from early school years as if it had happened in the last decade, and I'm pretty sure its to install fascist beliefs. No coincidence Putin drops Nazi into his rhetoric when speaking about the Ukraine.

What was his point?

I'm not gonna let people get away with BS, like 'the Ukrainians are winning the war', when their entire country is under siege and on the brink or actually in a massive humanitarian crisis.

But you will completely absolve the hostile invader of any responsibility for CAUSING the massive humanitarian crisis. Because you are a warmongering pro-Putin apologist.

The sad thing is that you would never, ever have the stones to say any of this in public because the torrent of ridicule you would receive in reply would make you cry.

Is that Kane from the WWE? Too many chair shots I think.

Your mayor is Kane ?????? The Big Red Machine ????

What??

 

[spectateur]

Thats just not how it works over there. Oppressed people on a permanent diet of propaganda will not be rising up- you can't think of them like your own country and assign the same values

Just like the UK then ?

Your right, but best to just ignore him mate, he’s a pathetic sub human troll

Yes, unfortunately.

His “might makes right” rhetoric doesn’t come as any surprise here though. Back during a council meeting at the height of COVID he low-key threatened the Director of our Health Department (a woman at least in her 50’s) with physical violence over her mask guidance.

None of that is is support of Putin.

He is making a completely different point there.

If it wasn’t serious, there’s a joke about his wrestling persona to be made there.

 

[Tree13]

Marvellous how ready people here are ready to take up arms for a country none of you even knew anything about until a couple of months ago.

Almost as marvellous as you gleefully celebrating the invasion of a peaceful European country and then accusing them of causing the conflict in the first place... By defending themselves AFTER it started.

 

[neil999]

THATS GOTTA BE KANE!!!

Oh it is...

 

[TN Toffee]

What was his point?

Who knows really. Probably just saw it as an easy chance to own the libs. He can’t be out of office soon enough, but it’s unlikely whoever our 70% Trump county is going to elect anyone better after him.

Oh, you’re about a year and a half late to that party. I’ve been pointing out the irony of Kane somehow ending up as the anti-mask mayor for a long time now.
