Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion

Shelling during a cease fire for evacuations, classy them Russians. Seriously someone just put a bullet in Putin.

I agree and every time I mention this to my slightly younger colleagues, I feel like a boomer :lol: .

As for this piece of news, I think it's bad since a lot of intelligence is coming from TikTok and also Ukrainian videos.

Well, unless they define Ukraine as part of Russia then it shouldn't affect the Ukrainians you'd think? It will hinder protesters in Russia though.

It looks dodgy as hell but then this is yellow pages information, so I thought it's mostly public knowledge.

If it's bollocks, I'll remove the post.

It's about what Russians can see. All the other socials have already 'left', so all these appeals for Russian action on Twitter are slightly pointless.

Yeah, mate, the Ukrainians should stop being so negative. You tell them.

Do you even realise the kind of crisis Europe is facing? We're talking about millions of displaced people already and it's only just starting.

And the UK government comes out, talks the big game and barely helps any refugees. There's wanting to be positive and then there's wanting a pat on the back for thinking about the Ukrainians for a day or two, donating a few quid and going to a protest in your peaceful country with Ukrainian flags. It's commendable but it won't be nearly enough.

Personally, if I was Ukranian running for my life, hungry, tired, cold in the middle of a snowy winter, I would hardly give a toss if someone sang a song for me on the other side of the world. Maybe that's just me or maybe I'm just being realistic.

The UK spends billions every year on the intelligence services which predicted and published freely to all exactly the scale of the problem Ukraine and Europe was facing. Only to be told by everyone we were fear mongering or panicking.

The reason the displaced people even have a chance at escape is because of the immense bravery of Ukrainian service men using in part British supplied weapons we flew in around the German no fly zone and the training UK soldiers gave to them which has helped to stop the Russian advance on Kyiv.

Do I wish the UK govt did more for the refugees, yes I do. I have never voted conservative and never will.

I think you have a memory like a sieve and chip on your shoulder.

The Russians have made it quite clear that it is the UK who they feel is most responsible for their pain and who they will be looking to respond against first/most. To me that says it all.
 
Another scary thread hinting at a forced draft of young males all across Russia.

Oh, how dare I question the great UK government.

And since you love the UK intelligence services, what do you think of Johnson overriding them on adding Lebedev to the House of Lords? Or is that the chip on my shoulder?

What about all those donations for the Tory party by Russians far and wide connected to Putin? And what a coincidence a lot of them are not on the sanctions list?

Finally, funny how you justify the UK being the big bad guy for Russia based on what Russia has supposedly said publicly. As if that's worth the ink it's written on nowadays.

Make no mistake, I am not only blaming the UK, it's all Western governments. I just have the best view on the UK.
 
Cue the sound of someone desperately trying to save their own skin. I’ll believe it when I see it, and once the Home Office actually have the capacity to make the policy meaningful.

 
Seen so many images of children being killed today. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Putin needs to be taken out.

They were right and predicted the invasion. I love people who are right on important matters like that rather than those who said the invasion wouldn't happen. That is not you is it?

There is no supposedly about it. It has been explicitly stated. It doesn't fit into your agenda so you can't bring yourself to admit it.

Most likely, aside from the affair with Kabayeva itself, which is more or less public knowledge.

The end of WW2 didn't turn into WW3, Korea didn't, Vietnam didn't, Hungary and Prague didn't, Sputnik didn't, the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis didn't, Afghanistan didn't, etc. I doubt this will either.

I hope you are right, but in few of those instances only luck and small details resulted into peaceful resolution. What is happening right now is very, very scary.
 
Interesting thread from a former Foreign Minister of Russia in the 90s. He doesn't think Putin is irrational or that he will use nuclear weapons.
