Putin has quite a bit more at his disposal than Argentina.

To paraphrase Blackadder: "The idea was to have huge nuclear arsenals on both sides, so that everyone would be too scared of mutually assured destruction to ever use them. Of course there was one tiny flaw in the plan. It was bollocks!"

Had to chuckle there as Boris said we need to stop those abetting Putin.

I agree. At the moment it's words and quite vague but it's a good start. SWIFT has to be next.

Grendel won't be happy. His idol Boris has just announced further sanctions.

Along those lines, with the line of EU/NATO expansion to the East (all of which was desired and requested by the sovereign nations involved having lived under Soviet tyranny for so long) why are we not talking about Russian communist expansion to the East?

Ah! The Putin apologist returns! Something you once again got wrong. Bit like chap, constantly getting things wrong. In fact, are we absolutely sure Grendel isn't Farage? Maybe that picture in his avatar is hiding in plain sight...?

Don't know how representative it was, but saw a thing on BBC of Russians in Moscow saying how they didn't support the action. Only a handful of people protesting, whether due to fear or people actually support what Putin is doing I don't know. It feels like this is the start of the point where...

Yeah, but I'm sure they drop hints about stuff they want and hope he offers. If he does i bet they say 'yes' very quickly.

It's not a defence. It's a deterrent. You need to learn the difference. Our nuclear capability makes people think twice about nuking us. It deters them. But once that bomb is on the way Trident offers NO defence at all. It won't stop that bomb reaching us, it won't limit the destruction it...

There's the Nick we know and love "get a reducer in early doors"

I specifically say in my post you quoted if we don't have them we're at the mercy of others. But the facts about them being old and expensive is true. But they are better than nothing. It's not just nuclear we need to worry about. Salisbury has already shown us they're quite willing to unleash...

It reduces it certainly. It removes it right until the point someone uses them. I think some people expect everyone is sane and rational.

There's the halftime entertainment. Instead of trying to kick a ball in the net from different distances get people to snort lines. Start with 6 yard line, 18 yard line, then halfway.

What did I come in this thread for?
