Used to headlines in the CT that spell imminent doom about players leaving or some catastrophy. But when you read the story it's usually speculation or has conditions.

This too, you think oh god, we're supplying Ukraine by suppling arms etc., will that aid trigger the nuke button. Start digging the shelter.

Read the story and it's " if NATO puts peacekeepers into Ukraine, World War Three might be around the corner". If and might. Yes, it's a possibility, but the West has said repeatedly no boots on the ground.

Absolutely sick of the media click bait when such high stakes are up, and the people there are suffering at the hands of these mongrals. But lets sell advertising lads.

I'll be right under it when it drops Houch. Better a quick end that slowly die from starvation/lack of water/radiation/nuclear winter.

I'm heading for the Malverns personally, no one's going to bother dropping a bomb over there, unless Morgan take up wartime production.

Have you got a spare room mate? I'm not very good at cooking, but I don't mind doing the washing up.

Lake District for me. I would never be short of water and as I am a vegetarian, I reckon I can just eat grass and heathers.

It sounds like Russia are admitting defeat without doing so. The chief of the Russian army is now saying they are going to concentrate on liberating the Donbas region. Once this has been completed Putin can then claim his victory, or Ukraine push East and become the bad guys when Eastern Ukraine and higher populated Russian areas start to get attacked.

Putin has apparently announced that phase 1 of the invasion is now complete. Which begs the question what was the objective of phase 1. Except take a hiding.

If true, how pissed do you need to be to get run over by a tank? They're not exactly small, or quiet, or manoeuvrable, and even the quicker ones take a while to get up a head of steam. Good farm vehicles though, apparently.

There is footage of these guys in action in Ukraine. Hit and run attacks. Small bands of men with light armour and the occasional anti-tank hardware.

It's presumably just a case of preparing the domestic audience for a huge climb down.

As I've said before, they've fucked it and they know it.

Interestingly the article, although its the Sun so take it with a pinch of salt, says it was deliberate and the Russian soldiers are basically pissed off with being led to the slaughter and starting to disobey orders. Obviously it may not be true but if it is not a good sign, Russia will have to be working on preventing that spreading as well as trying to fight Ukraine.

There seems to be this spirit in the Russian army that leads them to get easily disenfranchised and mutinous.

I've read a lot about them in Afghanistan and it seems like a lot of the soldiers basically did what they want, got pissed and killed some people. If they had too strict an officer they would meet an unsavoury end and be logged as KIA.

Even in WWII which was an existential battle for Russia and slavic people they had to shoot their own men to force them into battle.

Looks like Ukrainian forces have made gains around Kyiv and pushed the Russians back who are still massively struggling with supplies.

Russia may well start withdrawing from the Kyiv area

If they keep hold of Crimea he’ll be claiming that the fish in the waters around Crimea are much happier because they’re now swimming in Russian water.

Yeah, watched that. He's very good. Saw a price he did on Trump too, after the riot at the Capitol building.
