    The porn sites suggest all Ukranian women are busty nymphos so I'll offer my two spare rooms and end up with a pair of mildly cretinous women called Sonia.

    Dunno, seems pretty clued up on military/intelligence/security type stuff.

    As unlikely as it is, what happens if the Ukrainians end up sending the Russians home with their tail between their legs without any help?

    It's possible that I'm only reading one side of the story, but by all accounts looks like the Russian military efforts are really not going all that well currently. Also there's clear video of one of their cruise missles hitting an apartment building, so there's one for the Hague in a few years' time.

    They don't seem to have achieved anything of note yet. If the biggest thing to brag about is "we captured Melitopol in only 3 days" then they are failing completely.

    I suppose the real risk with them being useless is that they might just switch to Carpet Bombing?

    I had to Google that, but it sounds nasty. I wonder if Nato would continue being frauds then.

    I'd imagine when you are the aggressor already being villified across the globe nothing is off the table. Probably come out they are using white phosphorous again.

    It's a shame Ol' Donny Trump isn't in power still. He'd respond with immediate Nukes on every Russian city that he doesn't own hotels in.

    Xi is probably facepalming himself to death at the moment. They needed a capitulation to boost their hopes of getting the same in Taiwan.

    It'd be the biggest disaster Putin's ever faced. And he hasn't really had once since the Kursk sinking. If it gets to that point, he'll just keep the fighters in there until there's none left.

    Our visa policy announcement for Ukrainians is a total embarrassment. If Putin could save one of his cruise missiles for our Home Office it would sort a few things out.

    The problem for the trapped civilians too is what happens if the defenders are rolled over. A friend of mine deployed to Bosnia years ago and said the amount of grim war crime stuff they came across was haunting. In one village for example there was a girl who had had evidently been very pretty but marauding troops had spotted her, gang raped her and then took a knife to one side of her face afterwards, permanently mutilating her for apparent good measure.

    Two days in, two thirds of their build-up still in Russia. It isn't bad progress for moving tanks around. Especially when - although it might not look like it - they do appear to be trying to minimise collateral damage. Blowing everything to bits would speed things up.

    At least we're consistent. To ask people departing a war zone to go to Lviv to get a visa is insane.

    I was talking with a mate about why he didn't do this when Trump was in power and we came to the conclusion that he was delayed by COVID.

    I was thinking what would be happening if Corbyn was UK PM. I suppose he would have pulled us out of NATO by now anyway and we'd probably be sending our thoughts and prayers to the Spetsnaz.

    It's pretty relevant over here, and presumably has equivalents in all countries, since the Traitor Left (Stop the War, Owen Jones et al) and the Traitor Right (Farage et al) are basically now the same group of people parroting Kremlin attack lines and opposing NATO.

    I doubt Wor Jezza would have pulled us out of NATO. We might have become a bit more French and half-arsed our commitments, and given Oxfam and other scamming 'stakeholders' an even bigger role in formulating policy, but the Deep State would have nobbled him easily enough into selling it as a 'solidarity' pact.

    If Corbyn was in charge, we'd still be in the EU and NATO. Any of his extreme views would've been watered down or battered in Commons votes. At best, he'd get some digs in at the Jews before getting hounded out for that.

    If Corbyn had stayed loyal to himself and campaigned for Brexit in 2017 then he either would be PM now and the ultimate working class hero or, we’d all have EU flags on our houses because the right wing media couldn’t stomach him so much that they’d have done an about turn and got Brexit cancelled completely.

    We really lived out the worst possible timeline with Brexit Boris.

    As I bored on about in the other thread, it's a mess we're all complicit in. Nice to see Poland outright refusing to play Russia, no matter where it's held.

    Scouser till I die. On this, I am not on board with all the SHAME ON CHELSEA stuff. For the last 20 years RA's buddy was being a bit of a prick, rather than trying to annex a neighbouring democracy. It only changes as of this week. Hopefully either we'll be sold (ideally not to Arabs), or Putin gets fucked off pronto.

    Didn't he buy Chelsea to establish himself in a proper country in case it all went sour back home? He's been a bit of a chump in that case, keeping all these shares in Russian enterprises.

    I always thought this as well. Oligarchs were on the chopping board when the Union fell.

    I do like their approach to electing public officials. It's like if we had Michael Sheen as PM and Lennox Lewis as Mayor of London.

    Zelensky seems a hell of a thirsty individual but it's proving a communications masterstroke so far.

    You put in a circus clown as mayor of London and he ended up PM.
