"War is the continuation of policy with other means"
The west has been asleep since 1918. We have never has a proper physical war with the great civilization of China, and have endured a fair bit of pissing about with Russia during their communist era.
America, the world policeman, has always...
OK....thanks. And so, it seems that once again then, this time by different means, US engagement overseas has become a disaster. North Korea, Vietnam, El Salvador, Iraq, and now leading on the Ukrainians only to drop them in the shit. And I hadn't even realized.
Has the US not been supplying weaponry and logistics? My point is that Biden has supported and will continue to support Ukraine (provided he can fend of the MAG wanka Republicans) but if Trump gets in he won't even try...
Trump will become president.
He will cut all support for Ukraine.
Instead he will pump everything into Israel, possibly triggering war with Iran (albeit my guess is Iran will shit themselves long before then).
The question will be whether Russia or China fancies practicing proxy war by arming...
Very good points.
And if Putin claims it is Ukraine, a sizeable proportion of his own security forces (if the not the bally lot of them) will go along with him, for the simple reason they prefer staying alive.
Long standing grievance. There are multiple sources on the internet:
"Putin changed the course of the Syrian civil war when he intervened in 2015, supporting President Bashar al-Assad against the opposition and Islamic State. The war began in 2011 after a pro-democracy uprising against...
It's a little joke of mine. A trope in fact. You will see it time and time again. Done because I grew tired of seeing others (especially in a football context) giving it 110% for more than 110% of the time. I seem to recall Ian Wright being a million percent behind something a few years.
You...
110% :thumbsup:
However....if I were Putin I'd be one who wouldn't flich about Russian innocents dead to pursue an agenda.
After all, Stalin (his hero) killed 25 million of his own :ohmy:
Given that the UK warned Russia about the attack, this would seem rather unlikely, surely?
What intel was it that the UK had and sent to Russia? False intel generated by the Russians themselves? If so there seems to be no limit to Putin's ingenuity ???
Yes. He will. Obviously the drones were flown all the way from Kiev. For certain, sure. :facepalm:
Sadly, with the American geriatric, Sunak, the tit in charge of France, the nonentity in charge of Germany, and the brinkman in charge of China, Vladimir (steroid-atrophied tiny bollocks) "Put...
Labelling the entire Russian 'race' in the way the previous poster did is racist. I know Russian scientists and I listen to a lot of Russian music. They are just like anyone else from anywhere else. Go back and read the post that @Swansman was replying to (and also see the response he got). As I...
