Since when did being pro Ukraine mean that you’re pro US? Just more mindless bollocks.

The BBC is the most cynically viewed news platform in the country. The right thinks it’s a woke lefty mouthpiece and the left thinks it does nothing but pander to the extremes of the right because it’s afraid of its own shadow. You’re not describing the reality of how the BBC is viewed and trusted.

Ahhh! The old my enemies enemy is my friend mentality. Suddenly it becomes so clear.

What you’re describing is what Russia is doing with your comparison to Nazi Germany. And Hitler in reality never brought Germany out of the depression. Rationing never ended even pre war and basic rates in pay never increased from depression levels. Hitler took Germany out of the depression is a...

Sorry that’s a fool’s errand. Putin is a madman, there’s no appeasing him. It may bring a temporary settlement but Putin will take that as a victory, the West as a pushover and a green light to do the same in other countries such as Georgia and Moldova, they already have troops in Moldova and...

I’ve not went to Ukraine. I have eyes and ears, there’s this thing called TV that has a program called the news. I have neighbours who have taken in a Ukrainian family minus the father who stayed to fight despite having an out, the eldest son went back to Ukraine to join the army in the spring...

Sounds like the evidence of my own eyes to me. Quick question for you. How long did the Irish fight the British for their own sovereignty before leading to the creation of the Irish Free State in 1922? I’ll give you a clue. Wolfe Tone died in 1798. The Ukrainians like the Irish are fighting...

It would be far from over. It would just have been a different type of war. A guerrilla war of resistance. Longer and bloodier. Ukraine is a nation that was never going to bend from day one and that was evident on day one when house wives were confronting Russian soldiers in the streets...

Russia, especially under Putin has never behaved as a friend. Blatant and brazen assassinations on our soil, the Russian navy playing silly buggers around western assets such as probing oil pipes and data cables in the North Sea and Atlantic meaning that our Navy has a full time job detecting...

Ideally drill the wall but if you have to drill the the window frame use a high speed steel drill bit as it drills through plastic like a hot knife through butter, you may also come across some steel reinforcements in the frame so it will be good for that too. Put a loop on the cable outside the...

Sounds like desperation to me, a sabre rattling bluff. Have they even got the resources to fight until 2025 other than conscripts? In the last couple of weeks alone they’ve had to go cap in hand to North Korea for bullets, they had to suspend fuel exports this week in an attempt to avoid...

Not really. Nazi Germany or Hitler?

There’s only one country intent on destroying Ukraine and that’s Russia. For instance, they’ve just delivered Ukraine the unenvied accolade of being the most mined country in the world. On that single fact Russia is the baddie. The West (once Russia knows it’s already beaten) will have to assist...

The gymnastics you must be doing in your head. Just on the US Russia trying to achieve the same goal thing. You’ve become a parody.

See any of your posts over the last couple of days.

I’ll start worrying when I go as far as claiming that there’s no goodies or baddies in a conflict where who the baddies are couldn’t be clearer.

What about it? What about the first one?

Depends. If you’re a Putin sympathiser then I guess not. If you believe that a sovereign nation has the right to democratically choose its own ideology and direction without fear of being invaded by a hostile neighbour who thinks they don’t have that right then there clearly is a goody and a...

You clearly don’t. You may be aware that it happened but you’re well short of understanding the implications of that. I’ll help you out. That makes Russia the baddies. Same as it did is when we invaded Iraq on a lie. Or maybe you think that’s too simplistic again.

It really would have been as simple as let Russia crack on with it while not spending $1.
