It's sad knowing most Western leaders would have been out 2 days ago without hesitation. Look at the Afghan muppet we backed who left days before they arrived in Kabul
Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion
- Thread starter Wednesday at Stoke
- Start date
I guess you’ve never read the Book of Joshua.
A good discussion point, but or another thread I think
.Desperately hoping this concludes peacefully and soon.
Or Numbers, or Samuel, or Deuteronomy, or….
the nuns from my youth would both be and not be so proud of me.
Should make a separate thread on NATO
It really is. Such a different mentality.
Definitely. Let’s hope sanity can prevail and not get carried away with the madness, which is easy to do…
Yeah, it’s terrible I hope some peace talks can resume tomorrow. We’ll have to see the extent of the devastation over night.A good discussion point, but or another thread I think
Desperately hoping this concludes peacefully and soon.
Might be mistaken but seem to remember at the time that the attack on Iraq was done in 2003, it was condemned unanimously by India in one of the parliament sessions.We've managed to not support or condemn Russia in Ukraine, US in Iraq, and the USSR in Afghanistan
But *true colours* - every country has the same "true colours" - self-interest and cowardice. Which country had the guts to do sanctions on the US in 2003? The concept itself is so absurd.

What?
If anything, it's showing that there absolutely is a need for NATO.
Putin/Russia are the only ones to blame for what is happen ing, no one else.
Well it really relates to this Ukraine situation
But what about "the West" and every other topic not related to Putin's aggression ?
I hope you learn a bit how to operate AA guns.
great idea
we should just surrender as well I'd say
Alexander Usyk has returned to Kyiv to help the people of the Ukraine, Unified Heavy Weight Champion of the World. He could have stayed in London safe but choose to leave.
Chechenya is much smaller isn’t it?
Yeah there were massive queues all day at the stadium where it was collected. In my neighborhood alone we managed to fill 3 cars with stuff, people are stepping up massively to help.
And they couldn't even take that properly by force.
Yeah then Putin would’ve had a free hand to go for Latvia, Estonia, maybe even Poland. Great idea!

Why?
Hard to celebrate, but I hope these losses play on Putin's mind.
If my grandma had balls she would be my grandfather.
According to the page behind the tweet, 2,800 Russian troops have lost their lives in three days of fighting. Pretty staggering given that they still don't have control of any major city.
If its possible, its likely already happening. For diplomacy reasons, we will never know. There's also a very good chance that there are "special forces" of certain NATO nations assisting with the resistance, but again, it wont be public.
That's extraordinary yes, the Ukrainians are clearly very determined. Would be curious to find out the Ukrainian losses too.
I want to feel good about this but I can only imagine how many men were killed inside it, since it was a transport plane. Such a waste of life.
I feel you. Keep mini celebrating these Ukranian victories in my head before releasing for the umpth time that it's someone's son that has been killed due to 1 man's wishes rather than them actually wanting to be there.
I hope he's held to account for them in this life. He probably won't be. At the very least, I hope his conscience keeps him up at night.
Every death in this conflict is needless and tragic. Most Russian soldiers, I would imagine, are young and generally uninterested in fighting people that many of them probably have historical or family ties with. Their unfortunate parents may never learn what happened to their kids given Putin’s obsession with not publicizing his war deaths.
This is exactly why I think it's a worthy topic here. These nutters that scream about NATO have zero rational argument apart from Fox News and people like Alex Jones and Thom Hartmann telling them that NATO is at fault.
Saw some pics of mobile crematoriums being towed along with the Russian ground forces. Presumably to dispose off the dead without a trace. Grim stuff
Not true for the UK. Public school boys in that era were expected to lead in the Empire and fight in wars. They were actually seen as a warrior class by some. I think the mortality rate in WW1 was higher for public school boys than for ordinary soldiers. I read a biography of Orwell and that mentions how many of his Etonian colleagues were killed in WW1 whilst he was there, it was a very high mortality rate.

By sheer weight of numbers more working class died of course.

These Oligarch offspring just want to pull the ladder up.
The upload video button isn't available for me, here's a link to what look like regular citizens fighting tanks with maltov cocktails.

Hats of to the recafers here that help out the people of Ukraine
my respect to you guys
my respect to you guys
Sorry if it's obvious, but are those molotov cocktails? And they're taking down tanks (or whatever armoured vehicle that is? That's insane. It's almost surreal watching that
Did no one tell the Russian military strategists that tanks are not designed for urban warfare?
