I think a distinction needs to be made between words and actions. Boris is very good at telling people he's going to do stuff, then not doing it. They deliberately held back when the sanctions are going to be introduced, almost certainly to allow the individuals involved to get their money and assets out.

And he's also very good at telling people he isn't going to do stuff, but then does . Like having parties.

So basically he has a real problem with telling the truth.

Again, what a great trait for a Prime Minister to have...

Putin said the conflict will only stop if Ukraine stops fighting and Russia’s demands are met. In a phone conversation with the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Putin also said Ukraine’s negotiators should take a more “constructive” approach in talks with Moscow to take into account the reality on the ground.


I'm not sure Putin knows what a negotiation is...

You're banging on a lot over a word that has no meaning . You used it to have a go at another member on here, and yet you don't know what it means. The definition you posted has no meaning .

Erm, technically, I think you started it by banging on about someone using a real actual word that is in the dictionary.

Anyway mate, apologies, I was a bit rude before which was uncalled for, but honestly 'nuance' does have a meaning. If it was literally meaningless then no one would use it, like say, qargke.

I get you don't like it, but it is a real word, honest!

Anyway, if you don't stop I'm going all in with 'paradigm shift' and 'tactically naive', though, ok?

Can we call a ceasefire on it and agree terms later, perhaps. In the meantime, a favourite gif...

Well it's a bit like saying
" we can't send them to you because if we do that we may create a full blown war because we are flying what Russia will see as hostile military aircraft into their airspace......... but you are very welcome to come and collect them yourselves. "
It's a very thin line. Not thin enough for Putin, surely.

Agree entirely. There's some interesting stuff hereabouts, I will strive not to derail it with petty arguments - that's for the football threads.

Been suggested already that Putin has been planning to let off a dirty bomb and blame Ukraine.

Poland has MIG’s which the Ukrainian pilots already know how to fly. Sounds like the US came to an arrangement with Poland to supply some of their MIG’s to Ukraine. Assume the yanks are going to replace them with US equipment and training for Polish pilots.

well here’s not much of a nuance for you and it’s not subtle - would you trust a Marxist like Starmer who was anti nato now pro nato and was opposed to every single war including Afghanistan

Keir Starmer’s cynical embrace of Nato is a sad sight indeed | Lindsey German

The Labour leader accused us of backing Putin by opposing war in Ukraine. He knows he’s wrong, says Lindsey German, convenor of the Stop the War coalition

He was co editor of socialist alternatives when he frequently attacked kinnock and accused him of being right wing - he was very much integrated into the labour left

Unless this was another Keir Starmer?

Well a main voice against our own illegal invasions is a man you’d never vote for. Still you seem very content to let Putin take over wherever he likes

The Polish planes are similar to the ones Ukraine use. The Polish will receive US planes as a replacement.

With respect this is not answering my question

I want zero fly zones I want zero military action and nothing that happens in Ukraine will change that view

If the sanctions fail - my belief is they will but that’s an opinion - even if Ukraine was bombed to pieces I would not want one British soldier dying for Ukraine

You?
