    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    My question is what were those connections. As far as I can see the downsides are huge and the benefits small in comparison. Especially when you consider other alternatives to invest in are available with much better long term prospects.

    But if we're not lending them to anyone why would they make Putin sweat if we're not getting involved militarily? Anyway, enough talk. This is the footage thread.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Ah, but he didn't say how many days. So even if it doesn't fall until 802701 to the Morlocks he could still be right.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Probably not, but Putin is using it as a very convenient excuse. Given how he's talked about NATO aggression towards Russia by putting hardware nearer Russia in new members states, his excuse for his 'excursion' into Ukraine was because he feared NATO bordering Russian territory (which makes no...

    As RAF jets they won't be used though will they? Can't see us lending our newest hardware to Ukraine and can their pilots even fly them?

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    This is why civil disobedience can be so useful. It just stops the cogs turning. I'm very pleasantly surprised given the control of the media and the reprisals for doing so that it's so widespread. Why do dictators always think that what always happens to dictators won't happen to them?

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Basically "bugger you Jack, I'm alright" You are so self-centred it's unbelievable. Are you like this with your neighbours? If they were broken into you'd just say "Not my house". And what would then happen if you're house is the next to get broken into? All your neighbours would just be "fuck...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    So NATO membership is saving it from Russia. Yet NATO expansion is supposedly what caused this. The irony being that had there been further NATO expansion and Ukraine had already joined then this invasion wouldn't now be happening. No-one forced those countries to join NATO. They could have...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    But if it were would you think it acceptable for British blood to be spilled to defend it? Due to a bit of paper we signed? It's smaller and less significant to us. We've got a larger Ukrainian population over here. So why should we help defend them and not Ukraine? Or do you think we should...

    Why would you make someone director of football after having six months as a temporary manager? Why not just look for a director of football?

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I certainly don't expect them to get involved in this. It would have to escalate to such an extent that chances are it would be pretty much nuclear war before they even considered it. I meant more about advancing their own immediate interests and how they can gain more power and essentially...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    People kept on saying Hitler wouldn't go further but he did. And if he'd conquered Britain and Russia he'd have kept going, confident that he'd managed to defet these two foes. Once they start winning and feeling invincible their ambitions get bigger and bigger. No-one at all in his circle will...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    So if someone invaded here I assume you'd be absolutely fine with the rest of the world saying "Not my problem. Britain isn't worth a single ounce of blood" and you'd be quite happy to have this enemy shelling the fuck out of your house and shooting at you and your family? Though knowing you...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    That is indeed the big problem. But either way he just carries on pushing, using the nuclear weapons as a means of stopping others getting involved. If that works for non-NATO countries there will come a point where he will be so damn sure of himself he would invade one, believing he cannot be...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    You say no to military intervention and Ukraine gets taken over. So Putin goes after places like Moldova. He's already threatened Finland and Sweden. So then this happens all over again and once again you say no to military action and every time it emboldens Putin to go further and further. This...

    Never understood why they thought that a manager brought in on a temporary contract for 6 months or whatever should have a say in the next manager.

    That's not a Polish pirate. Way too many vowels.
