I think we can take any speech from Russia, especially those aimed at the West as nothing more than playing the Statesman. Posturing. Speeches that are written in minutes and mean nothing. Russia will continue to invade other nations and nothing will stop Putin short of brutal and overwhelming...

The global population is declining and has been since the 1960’s. However, I think we are on potentially on the precipice of mass global conflict. Likely in the form of pushback against the increasing threat from China and North Korea. And from climate change. Resource wars are very likely as...

My mistake. Apologies Braggfan.

Okay.

No. I’ve understood. The idea that Vietnam had a “comparable nuclear threat” to modern day Russia remains laughable.

I see your point. My Korea, Afghanistan, and Vietnam had the same level of nuclear deterrent as Russia has today? Vietnam. In 1970’s? The man is talking nonsense. The rest is pure conjecture.

I doubt we will go boots on the ground. Not until it’s too late anyway. Right now, Putin is having it all its own way and soon he’ll have his ally, Trump in the White House. Then it’s game over for any U.S. assistance. Putin will win Ukraine and start looking further afield. Then it's a...

I fear Ukraine only has a few terrible months left before defeat. Unless the west steps up massively, Ukraine will fall. Our boots on the ground. Our pilots in the air. Only this will stop Russia.

Can’t feel too sorry for them, if I’m honest. And I know that’s wrong for so many reasons.

Russia is a perfectly plausible target for Middle Eastern terrorists. As the Soviet Union they harassed and tortured the Islamic people of that part of the world for decades in an attempt to convert them to a Marxist regime. However, I’d be very surprised if Putin wasn’t complicit if only by...

Must be quite unpleasant having your normal peaceful life tragically disrupted by murderous bastards slaughtering innocent people.

Or killed to silence him. Which is much more likely, isn’t it really. But to be honest, that’s a guy that has been pulled out of some gulag or POW camp somehere and forced to recite a script. He’ll be executed before long and once again, Hercule Putin has solved the riddle and saved the day.

None of this is going to end well for Putin. History isn’t kind to those who play God. At some point the fight is going to have to be taken to him. Half of me wishes they would just get it over with and send in a kill squad to take the **** out. And his ridiculous regime.

It is never the better course of action to let a people be subjugated, raped, murdered, de-nationalised and destroyed for a longer term political goal. Edit: just my opinion, not getting confrontational 😊

It was arguably inevitable that Ukraine were going to take the fight to Russia. If someone is throwing rocks at your head it’s only a matter of time before you throw some back. And bloody good on them. Long may Ukraine continue to strike at Russian military targets and infrastructure.

This name calling and haranguing of Germany benefits one person and one person only.

Putin will have eyes on. A few “arrests” in the days following I should imagine .

Agreed. And there is always the risk he will order the nukes. Still. I think his bluff must be called.

Putin back with his nuclear threats. All that bollocks he threatened if we helped Ukraine. He didn’t back any of it up with action against the West. Take him out.

I think, as is the case with all bullies, a massive show of force would end him.
