Russia clearly worried about Crimea enough that its considering moving its fleet to a port in one of the other countries it’s illegally annexed https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-67017375 How many countries has the guy we’re meant to believe is capable of being negotiated with now...

Let’s negotiate with this guy https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/67018505

“For one thing, much of it rests on the presumption that Putin would have acquiesced to a genuinely neutral Ukraine as opposed to one that marched in lockstep with Russia’s interests. Given that Putin declared Ukraine an “inalienable part” of Russia’s “spiritual space” when justifying his...

Just clocked that there’s a by-election in Scotland today. Labour and SNP vying for the win. Starmer will be like a dog with 2 dicks if the win that ahead of the Labour Party conference.

Isn’t the only countries strategy that counts here is Ukraines strategy of not bending to Russia? Any other countries strategy that matters is a response to Ukraines strategy. Also Russia has always had the same strategy as the West. Disruption and interference. Maybe the US should make a fresh...

I agreed with something Pritti Patel said the other day.

Where has this childish mentality come from that if you agree with an individual, organisation or government’s stance on one issue you must automatically agree with them on everything. 6th form debating gets thrown around a lot but this is a primary school mentality. It is possible to agree with...

Ahh. The old Ukraine can’t operate its sovereign right to join NATO with the backing of its population because it might upset Putin argument. Fact is if Putin was a better neighbour it’s neighbours who managed to stay neutral all though the highs and lows of the Cold War wouldn’t now be...

I struggle to have sympathy with Assange if I’m being honest. He seemed complicit in orchestrating that entire scenario himself because when he did finally face justice the charges were dropped due to a lack of evidence. Plus there’s something wrong with anyone who does a dirty protest...

And a guy who’s repeatedly said Russias victory was assured in the next 24 hours.

You seem unbelievably inept on Ukrainian history so I’ll give you the short version. In 2014 a Russian stooge Yanukovych refused to sign the Ukraine-EU association agreement that he had been voted in on the understanding that he would sign which had been over a decade in the making and pursued...

Ahh. The old Ukraine isn’t allowed the sovereignty to democratically move closer to one of its neighbours in case it upsets a mentalist in Russia argument. It’s always especially ironic when its brexiteers who trot out that excuse. Why is one company allowed the sovereignty to move away from...

I would think that Putin sees anyone suggesting that he can be negotiated with as a Russian victory. The Wests impotence dealing with him by repeatedly giving him an inch, he takes a mile, we give him another inch, he takes another mile rinse repeat rinse repeat etc etc clearly hasn’t worked...

You haven’t been paying enough attention then because whenever Saudi Arabia comes up in conversation on this forum, any thread, I’ve always consistently expressed the same opinion. We shouldn’t be supplying them arms.

There is no good type of Nazi, as the Conservative Party Conference is aptly demonstrating. You can’t link everyone’s opinion and standards in the UK with theirs. Same as you can’t Ukrainians with one group of people in Ukraine. I don’t even believe that all Russians are aligned with Putin, I...

I wasn’t and as you didn’t mention Saudi Arabia in your reply to my post I don’t know what else you were expecting me to think. Although I suspect that our opinions on Saudi Arabia and should we be supplying them with military support are probably identical. I’m a solid no. However you can’t...

Not sure that’s even remotely true. According to World Press Freedom index Russia is currently ranked 164 in the world where Ukraine is ranked 79. According to those rankings they have press freedoms better than countries like Malta, Israel, Greece Thailand and a whole host other countries that...

Let’s negotiate with this guy. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-67003463 He seems a reasonable well balanced man.

Because the scrapping of the Manchester to Leeds section meant connectivity’s between Liverpool to Hull can’t happen as there isn’t the tracks laid for trains to travel on. The scrapping of Birmingham to Manchester is the second kick in the teeth to the North where HS2 is concerned.

There’s literally dozens of councils facing the same issue. Regardless of which political parties run that council. And in the majority of cases it’s down to cuts from central government.
