Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion
- Thread starter Wednesday at Stoke
- Start date
To be clear - I have no idea what he's saying but just been following this guy on Twitter.
The way Netflix operate I wouldn't be surprised to see 3 out in time for Easter. The guy who played Oberyn will be in 2 of them.
Putin was banking on EU division, at the end so far it has backfired and put him in more difficult spot that he envisioned. Till the end of next week I fully expect all Europe to close the air space to him.
Grim update:
It's all over Twitter. Things are getting really scary now.
Any deal will have to include Putin bending over and kissing his own behind.
feck him.
Well yes but right now Im pretty glad UK has nukes and is a member of nato ... And if the pre requisite for that safety is spending 2% of GDP on military that seems a decent trade off... Even increasing that to 3% would have a pretty small impact on the overall amount of money available for other government spending
Plus if the choice is raise taxes by half a percent... And get rid of say the triple lock on pensions then I would take that over being bombed
The historic underspend Vs the 2% commitment from several NATO members should also be addressed I think.... Give them say 5 years to catch up the shortfall or membership is suspended
Evacuation should have happened earlier, I agree with this.
Please be true.
Someone in his circle needs to put a bullet in his head soon.
That's the purpose. His nukes are probably ready for days before he started the invasion.
100k at rally in Berlin. Good work guys 
On a sidenote, why havent the corrupt FIFA executives banned Russia from the 2022 world cup in qatar? FIFA seem to be rather quiet. Maybe all those "corporate gifts" the executives get will dry up....
What do you mean, he flies the mig 29?
Please.
polar opposite. Just shows that noone Has any clue what’s actually going on.
Because Infantino is best buddies with Putin.
So someone says Russia is ready for peace talks, while other post videos of Putin getting his nukes ready?
Not sure what to believe…

Bluster.
Could be he has agreed to peace talks and are using his nukes as a bargaining chip.
The tweets about wanting peace talks with Ukraine and about Putin going nuclear because of sanctions seem a bit contradictory. Unless he's pulling out of Ukraine and going to war with the rest of the world.
Believe both, but don’t presume the peace talks are in good faith.
As said, he has one card and he is overplaying it. At this point, I dont think he even has the home support to successfully authorize nuclear strikes. Its just looking more and more like desperation on Putin's part.
Both could be true. Strengthens his hand at negotiations.
Henry Cavill as Zelenskyy. Danny DeVito as Putin.
Norway just announced that they are closing their airspace for Russian air traffic.
Like I said yesterday, if he has gone completely insane he will use nukes over sanctions. I just pray his inner circle will have more sense than him because that could literally mean there is no life in Europe within 7 days. I really doubt anyone other than him in Russia would sanction this.
100k at rally in Berlin. Good work guys
The rally is on "Straße des 17 Juni", which commemorates the uprising of Eastern Berlin against Soviet rule on 17 June 1953. Symbolic.
Hopefully, Ukraine's defense will be more successful, though...
ffs
If true, it's likely it's just for show. Putin won't back down that early, he might have crazy demands like "we stop the fight if the current governement government steps down and if they don't we'll hit harder, you asked for it we gave you a way out".
Ignorant question - how bad are nuclear weapons?
Do they wipe out cities, countries? What happens in the event of Russia launching one? Will there be time to react?
