Looking at the overnight reports Russian soldiers are having to resort to looting as there’s no food coming to them on supply chains.

Apparently this conflict is costing Russia $20billion a day. Just goes to show the importance of financial restrictions and sanctions. I know that Russia has claimed to have costed sanctions in but it’s also pretty clear they believe that they’d breeze in so have they costed in the $20billion a...

I think he could have been clearer

If ever there was a more apt description of somebody

It’s difficult to know what to believe but the fact that this isn’t over already is a big loss for Russia. There seems to be a consensus that if Ukraine can hold out for 2 weeks it’s over for Russia so there’s a long way to go.

Is he the one who wears £1500 designer army boots.

Some of the scenes coming out of Poland are heart warming. The government are doing loads but ordinary people are turning up in huge numbers to welcome them with basically everything including cars if they’re travelling on to be with family elsewhere, money, food, accommodation, basically...

They still have national service. You have to do at least 12 months in the Russian army by the time you’re 28 if you’re a Russian male.

Couldn’t believe what I saw. I’ve seen some dodgy decisions but that takes the biscuit. Taylor won the last 3 rounds at best and even then I would say a draw was most likely.

Wouldn’t happen here. Putin doesn’t need to install a puppet Russian government here like he’s trying in Ukraine. He already succeeded in doing that in 2019 ;)

Saw footage of them earlier answering the call to make Molotov cocktails. Mostly females grating polystyrene to stuff into bottles before filling with petrol. They were Russian speaking too so Putin really has failed to understand the mentality of the Ukrainians.

Scarily the intelligence so far has been pretty much on the money so this is very believable as a possibility.

I know the Russians will have more than some fanatics in their ranks but they’ll also be these. Heard earlier that the Ukrainian government has set up a hotline to Russian parents and loved ones so they can find out if they’re son, husband, brother etc has been killed or captured allowing...

They were involved with the no fly zone from 1991 under UN and NATO resolution which is also when Europe got involved so more nonsense. When NATO did put troops on the ground it was also under US command. Try reading a book.

Which is also (inconveniently for grendull) the only real opportunity that the US has had to get involved in conflict in Europe, no one had to attack the US directly for it to happen either. It’s almost as if there was a pact formed between European countries and the the US after the war...

Okay, name one other instance;)

Not sure what Afghanistan has to do with conflict in Europe. Clearly just an immature attempt to look informed. When was NATO formed? How many opportunities has there been to defend Europe since its creation? How many times has America been forced into defending Europe having been attacked...

More coming out about how the Russian shock and awe tactic looks to be backfiring, how the only shock and awe is the resistance that Russian forces are facing. How unprepared they were for this battle, how unprepared they are to rearm and if the Ukrainians can hold out for 10 days Russia will be...

Looks that way. France caved in last night, Italy this morning. If Hungry are now going to agree that just leaves Germany and I can’t see how they can continue to resist it when isolated so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a done deal by this evening.
