It's a beautiful thing to see the Ukrainian boxers prepared to be on the front line. Allegedly. Surely at least one of them will end up in the dirt?
Or all of them are just being used without being put in harm's way to get youngsters to give their lives away.
Spoken like the son of a deserter.
Given how much space is in care homes, they'd make perfect ammunition dumps. Also, I spent some time on the Bomb Census last night just to see if any World War 2 bombings got this far north. They did for about a day in 1942.
We're fine mate. Everyone thinks we're wasteland anyway so why would they bother firing bombs this far north?
Down here you can still see bomb evidence quite widely if you're looking for it. Unexplained bowls in the ground, old walls with sections knocked out, that sort of thing.
I'm just surprised the shipbuilding parts were largely untouched.
We even give them cute names like "Canvey" and "Kent".
"Bombed out? No, it's terraformed."
Russia fired a missile at a non-military Bangladeshi vessel.
I think you'll find that was a precision strike on a military target.
Just using standard Russian precision.
Not like that nice modern civilised US precision. Get your fucking head out of the Hollywood movies, you dirty gammons.
Given your track record on things the last thing Vlad wants is any sort of endorsement.
Where did you find this intel?
He got it from The Office Of Data That's Irrelevant In the Modern World.
People lol when they collide but it's actually surprising that it doesn't happen more often. They're incredible things.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainians getting increasingly seethy about our unwillingness to go to war for them ought to be a bit of a wake-up call. It's not much of a war for self-determination if you explicitly need other people to win it for you.

Putin's thoughts on Ukraine and Ukrainians, if anyone is interested. A good insight into why he's doing this and his end goal.
That multiple thousand words of shite can basically be surmised as 'I grew up in the USSR and several countries since declared independence from it, waaah waaah waaah'.
Anyone noticed the increase in war films on Netflix? Including Kursk: The Last Mission?
This is the central tension that could work for Putin if it breaks, both we and the Ukrainians need to remain as calm-headed as possible and sit tight (fight tight, in their case, but that's just how the cookie crumbles) waiting for the Russian economy to collapse to a degree that I don't think they are aware is coming.
Putin will probably need to shut the borders USSR style to prevent mass flight.
In Poland they're Freedom Friesing it up.
Pierogi Ruskie (potato and cottage cheese filling) are being re-named to Pierogi Ukraińskie.
I can't see how the Ukranians can win this one, they're massively outnumbered in every respect and will bleed out over time. Sanctions won't work quickly enough to deter Russia who'd presumably factored them into their planning anyway. So the only question remaining really is what a Russian occupied Ukraine looks like and I'm guessing 'grim' is the answer.

Putin will have underestimated the severity of the sanctions and the degree of western unity. You can see from the essay above the sort of weirdo he's becoming (this is Heads Have Gone To War). He wouldn't have banked on, for example, Germany completely reversing their last 80 years of foreign and defence policy overnight.
I've seen serious opinions that suggest that, for example, they won't be able to continue domestic air travel in a month's time.
This is my take on it too. Russia are only using about 10% of their army and they're still making decent progress even if there is the odd shambles.
I think the Sanctions will bite pretty hard, but we're talking about a nation that looks back on the time they were all starving to death with pride.
Afghanistan part 2 is going to be the outcome if the west stays out of it.
They've sunk an Estonian cargo ship apparently.
Estonia are fairly blond and blue-eyed aren't they? I'll await location details of the vigil.
Oh the irony.The coup d'état and the subsequent actions of the Kiev authorities inevitably provoked confrontation and civil war. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights estimates that the total number of victims in the conflict in Donbas has exceeded 13,000. Among them are the elderly and children. These are terrible, irreparable losses.
Vladimir Putin, 2021
When are your lot wading in anyway?
Chicken kievs being changed to chicken kyiv is the absolute apex of virtue signalling, I think. No way it gets any sillier from here.
Someone, somewhere will be smashing up their Russian Dolls, I'm sure.

I can only imagine the glee in one's soul when your PA comes in and says 'I've got President Putin on line 3, he's ready for a 90-minute chat'.
Maskron: "You're lying to yourself"
At least people are using the correct spelling now after decades of typing "Kiev, The Ukraine" so every cloud.
Kiev is the correct spelling for us, as is the associated pronunciation. Should we be calling the capital of France Pa-ree?
Nope. Kiev is the Russian transliteration. Kyiv is the Ukrainian transliteration.
You really ought to be saying 'Hark-iv' for true apex signalling.
Hopefully Argentina try to take the Falklands again so everyone has to stop calling us Anglaterra.
I stand corrected.
Sanctions hitting HARD now, Russia are fucked.
The economic sanctions have gone further/quicker than I expected (I didn't even consider the idiotic cultural ones), which would accelerate what I said before about them being better placed than us in the short-to-medium term. In the event that they 'collapse' to the point where their war effort goes with it, however, then they retaliate and we all go down with them. The West could just about manage with another quid on petrol (especially if the elite bloodlust keeps up), but the developing world tearing itself to pieces over bread prices is another consideration.
As for fighting, I saw something earlier about this lasting ten years. Ukraine aren't fighting this for ten months let alone ten years (ten more weeks would be a surprise). The Afghans lost ten fighters to every Soviet, and about fifteen per cent of their population. And they all had seven kids each and wanted to die.
Elsewhere, lots of stuff about the government struggling to make sanctions cases against anyone other than the most open-and-shut, still knee deep in it shithouses. And struggling because of all them laws that we have here. Sit tight Roman lad.
Have any celebs done a song on Zoom yet?
John Terry disgracing himself on twitter.
How are the Russians going to govern it? They will soon be bankrupt, Ukraine is massive and filled with 40 million people who absolutely hate them and, after 30 years of freedom, aren't a bunch of wet cucks like the Russian population are.
Putin will just end up with far too many fires to fight simultaneously, will make further rash mistakes, and will either get done in, pushed out, or seethe himself to death. It's not like the olden days. No one can survive long as a pariah state unless you go full North Korea.
and even North Korea have to fire a few missiles into the sea to get a load of wheat and rice off the Yanks.
