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

    It's a massive undertaking but swamping a target with multiple drones increases the likelihood of success as air defence systems expend their missiles. Drones costing a few £Thou getting knocked out by missiles costing £100 thou is still a win for Ukraine..

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

    Just thought, we know that Putin and Co are top class liars ? How about the four or five terrorists actually died in the mall in one of the fires they started... Putin got the FSB to pick up 4 ethnic looking Russians simply to say " Look! We caught them ! " these 4 are going to be stitched up...

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

    One thing puzzling me is that all four of the main attackers just got " picked up " ? True Islamist extremists would have gone down fighting. A Russian copper stopping that van with four armed terrorists isn't going to go home for dinner, they would have opened up with everything they had until...

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

    Was just pointed out on Twitter, " Russia has effectively been a police state for the last 20 odd years, police and FSB control and patrol everywhere...so how come there is no armed security at a theatre in Moscow and it takes an hour for police and FSB to arrive " ?

    You would have thought that Putin would have had Medvdev's statement proofread before sending it to Medvedev after all these years. If you are going to tuck someone up for this in advance, at least get your grammar and diction In order.

    If prices go up so does the value of the US oil produced.

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

    Bear in mind the " Strong Man " image that Putin likes to portray does not sit well with incursions on to Russian soil that he can't deal with. The 3 day " Special Military Operation " is a disaster too as we move in to the third year. He was talking tough about what he would do with NATO being...

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

    Twitter talk is that this was an old out of service Helicopter but, covered by two video cameras which " luckily " captured the moment of destruction. Transnistria could well become a flash point soon, it has a huge arms and shell dump which Russia and Ukraine both covet. The problem is, its...

    We should congratulate President Putin on his historic election win of 2030.

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

    Saw something on Twitter earlier...FSB special forces killed a suspected " Terrorist " in possession of alleged UK explosives and a US detonator. Event was conveniently filmed by a handy TV crew. ...an obvious set up. I am only surprised the alleged terrorist did not have a hand written letter...

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

    There is a theory doing the rounds that Putin thinks Medvedev could be a potential challenger for leadership. So, Medvedev acts and sounds like an even bigger looney than Putin and thereby reducing his threat potential.. no one would vote for him as he's such a nutter. .. Thus keeping himself...

    I think we need just one more, specific, death in this war then we can possibly cease fire. Just the one specific death.

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

    I'm sad that he has passed away but, genuinely surprised that he has made it this far. I think he has been named for death by Putin some time ago and he knew it. The only power Putin had was to decide when it would happen because Navalney had the bravado of a man who knew that death was assured...

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

    Went to a pre book tour event in Lewes recently to hear Dom Joly, he has a book out called Conspiracy Tourist. Interesting talk, there is a certain " Kudos " that Conspiracy Theorists and MAGA supporters get that makes them feel special and blessed with inside information....he said there had...

    I can't really see the issue here ? Pretty sure there will be thousands of dead people voting for Putin when we get to the vote.

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

    Going to be some huge leaps forwards in drone tactics and technology in the next decade. I would say that Western powers have NOT adapted to the threat yet. Shooting down a $500 drone with a $25,000 missile is not practical in the long term and will eventually lead to ship losses that are...

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

    So many atrocities by Russia, they have bombed/shelled hospitals, universities, shopping malls, railway stations and theatres, its very difficult to have any sort of sympathy when it happens to them.

    Add to that the fact that they have lost an experienced crew on that plane plus the increasing shortage of spares for those planes due to sanctions, further reduces their air cover capabilities.

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

    I'm not sure there is such a thing as " Innocent Russians ". Most of the country firmly backs Putin and there have been little or no protests at the slaughter of Ukrainians or indeed the slaughter of their own conscripts and troops. By attacking Belogorad the Ukrainians are waking up the locals...

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

    Can't believe that Ukraine will agree to a ceasefire. Its patently obvious that the Russians are struggling and are running out of ideas and troops. Putin will happily agree to any kind of ceasefire in which he keeps some or all of the invaded territories. he will bare faced lie to the Russian...
