    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    100% they wont, Because if 71 year old Putin loses war and people find out the truth he will either be dragged through streets and beaten to death like Gadaffi🤞 in the Hague and jail until he goes to meet Satan, or attempting to do a bunk and begging Xi to offer him safe haven. There's no...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    How much is true and how much fog of war, I'm unsure..... but 2 days ago I read that in Kharkov direction, it was the biggest ever recorded single day losses for Russia with over 1750 killed in 1 day. It said the Ukrainians had stepped back, let the meat move into their kill zone and simply...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    I'd bet there's a lot of western intelligence operatives and even special forces working under the radar in Ukraine. US satellites have for sure played a significant role in the safe passage of Ukrainian drones striking on Russia to avoid air defences. That much has been reported. Publically...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Youre in a country with a fascist lite, pro Putin puppet. Still great to hear Ukrainians are making their vocies heard. You were on the table next to me I guess (by name on your shirt) at that outdoor bar in the park by Bus departures in Rome. Hoping this city break is less painful! Heroyam...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Theres a bit in there about leverage, and it needs reiterating! Russia has limited storage capacity, so it can only shut down wells (and potentially bankrupt themselves with little other export industry), or sell more unrefined oil to those countries you cite, who have ability to refine. Now...

    Indeed, and without the refineries they have decreasing ability to produce refined fuels for their military equipment, plus the cars of millions of Russians who are used to highly subsidised petrol prices. If Russia is then forced to buy refined fuel products at market prices from elsewehere at...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Well from what Sean Bell says, and I agree with him too, is that Crimea is the crown jewells for Putin....... Stands to reason he'd want an etra arge reserve weapons cache for if/when Ukraine tries to take that back, he'd stick weapons in the hands of locals too no doubt, as Ukraine did at...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    The Russians biggest day is May 9th, their victory in europe day thats taken on cult like mythical status in how the red army alone stood against and defeated Hitlers Nazis. Try and tell a Russian the allies also won the war and they wont have it! May 9th is obvious date, but maybe a bit too...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Not sure why Budanov has said publicly that the Kerch bridge will be down by July? And not just said nothing at all? But also read that any attack will likely be a combination of many different attack vectors. They've just upgraded the boat drone, they're in final testing of a submersible drone...

    Slight deviation, but more for @raymondo 7 @Triggaaar due to partners, but anyone else who may be interested? The biggest band in Ukraine by far and consistently voted the best band in the CIS, Okean Elzy, are playing the Brighton Centre this Saturday on 27th April...

    How fitting, a submarine service and salvage ship, is now being salvaged as an out of service submarine!

    I don't know the actual logic, can only speculate, though I'm glad he is doing that as it protects Ukraines bit, by being bundled with Israel. If Ukraine was alone on being voted in Senate, it may well get blocked, MAGA could try and filibuster it, or propose amendments that sent it back to...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    The funding of the original senate bill, which was one bill, that bundled together aid for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan, was split into 3 seperate bills that closely mirrored the original senate bill. So they could be voted on separately by Congress reps. Addionally the house created a 4th "new"...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    I'd say virtually none. Senate already passed foreign aid bill, Johnson the house speaker split the original passed senate bill into 3 seperate bills, Israel, Ukraine & Taiwan as loads of MAGA loons were against Ukraine and lots of Dems against Israel, so each could vote on each with...
