And if those demands aren't met...?
Nowhere says that you liar, it says they have presented 3 demands
It doesn’t sound as though these Ukrainian solders would agree with you - Retreat from Kursk: Ukrainian troops tell of catastrophe and panicJust a coincidence then that after holding it for 6 months or so they had to withdraw just as the US withdrew intelligence and support.
And that US support resumes again just as Ukraine retreats.

As has been mentioned before on the likes of the BBC, it also alludes to the soldiers being led by the clueless. The whole operation was just pointless.
Well, having a bit of a problem with nasty Germans dropping bombs on our cities it became clear that we may need to defend our land at some point. Any treaty with the Nazis would have delayed their invasion. 5 years down the line we’d have been invaded.Depends how and why they are deployed, prior to WWII the cabinet post now called the Minister of Defence was the Secretary of State for War a more honest title. The 1940 Churchill cabinet first used the title Minister for Defence.

They’d been on a hiding to nothing way before the Americans withdrew the intelligence. It’s not like they had a strong foothold and then lost it within a week. If you believe that you’ll believe anything.Sounds like they do actually!
Volodymyr said it was possible to travel on that road relatively safely a month ago. By 9 March it was "all under the fire control of the enemy".
IMO, it achieved absolutely nothing and along with the rest of the war, was a needless waste of life.
They were already on a hiding to nothing before Trump got involved.No one is claiming it to be a roaring success. But it absolutely served a purpose – it took up to 100k Russian troops away from the front line - and would have served an even greater purpose had Trump not got involved.

You should go and fight for Ukraine, you seem that invested in themAgain, available information says otherwise.

Well, you were using internal Russia polls to back up your argument last week, so I’m taking it with a pinch of salt.Again, available information says otherwise.
Yes imagine being exasperated by war crimes and kids being bombed. Silly me.
The build up to war was once we woke up to the rise of Hitler. They were a tad pissed off at the time. Mainly due to the terms of the armistice. Then on to our appeasing Germany. It’s annexing of countries etc. spot the pattern.In WWI the first bombs were dropped on the UK were by Zeppelins with small payloads and the first raid was in 1915. So conscription then was nowt to do with a threat to Britain.
Actually there was a lot of pre war invasion hysteria whipped up by the press and in popular novels by William Le Quex and Erskine Childers for example, the latter made into a film in the 1970s called The Riddle of the Sands (a spy adventure which is on youtube).
Prior to WWII the British government started a large rearmament program including building 'shadow' factories to construct military aircraft. The site at Ryton being one example. All this happened well before the start of hostilities.
The National Service Act 1939 was enacted in Sept 1939 before any German bombing campaign and the German invasion of France. It superseded an act of May 1939 which conscripted men to military training.
Nothing to do with bombs or a potential invasion of Britain, there was a build up to war which is what Starmer seems to be promoting as he keeps talking about escalating matters by sending British troops to Ukraine, he has already increased the defence budget. Starmer's actions seem to me aimed at scuppering the peace initiatives as much as anything else.
History seems to me to be repeating itself, fuck your principles you really don't want a war I can assure you, resist in every way you can. I certainly shall.

Putin has been at war with the west for many years. It’s that fool Trump that is also our problem.

Oh come on, not so covert operations in the UK, influencing elections/destabilizing countries/ financing other wars (Like the west does), Killing people, Hacking, There are less subtle ways of fighting wars of course. Maybe do your research? The world is bigger than the things churned out on the BBC.Putin has not been 'at war' with the west.
I guess you're one of those people that believes whatever the BBC tells you without question.

It would be a million times worse, them clowns would push the world to the brink. Instead we’ve now got talks between the 2 most powerful countries on the planet and hopefully common sense prevails.How would the situation have been any better if Biden or Harris were in charge?
No, we've got the leader of the the supposedly most powerful nation in the world being played for the fool he is is by a megalomaniac psychopath.It would be a million times worse, them clowns would push the world to the brink.

That looks suspiciously like NATO troops and equipment. Are you trying to provoke a war.
Slight problem of Russia being banned from international competition by the IIHF. Not sure many NHL players will be signing up to play if its going to put their chance at a spot on the Olympic team in jeopardy. If it happens, and I would doubt it, will end up being like the rebel England tours of South Africa during apartheid.They arranged some ice hockey games though, so that's good I guess.
That will be a good game to watch, the KHL has got some talented players in it, be interesting to see how they match up against teams from the nhlThey arranged some ice hockey games though, so that's good I guess.
Will certainly be interesting if its done under international regulations and drug testing takes placeThat will be a good game to watch, the KHL has got some talented players in it, be interesting to see how they match up against teams from the nhl
Highly doubt the KHL players are drugged up on PED’s but who knowsWill certainly be interesting if its done under international regulations and drug testing takes place
Starmer's men on the move
Its widely acknowledged they are. Plenty of American players who have played there talk about their shock about how open steroid use was in locker rooms there.Highly doubt the KHL players are drugged up on PED’s but who knows

Plenty of potential prime squatty candidates which won't cost all that much extra:-
