Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion

At least in the US, Netflix added Servant of the People (Zelensky's show) with subtitles.
 
His brother had his chance a while back

Feck. If he only knew back then of Vlad's Greater Eurasia Russia.
 
In case there was any doubt this guy's greatest fear is being overthrown from within.......



Blimey… that’s pretty full on isn’t it?

Bitching about ‘Gender freedoms’ while waging a war is something else.

It’s like he’s become the crazy embodiment of all toxic Boomer traits. Like a mad Dad that’s somehow ended up controlling a super-power.

Surely the World needs to move on from this nonsense, it’s insane.
 
@spectatorindex: BREAKING: Panama's government says three Panama-flagged ships have been hit by Russian missiles in the Black Sea since the start of the war, with one of them sunk.
Seizing Putin and his allies Panamanian bank accounts would be the best response. That would truly send shock waves through the kremlin and Russia elite.
 
This asshole woulda spoken out against aid to Britain in 1940.



This i dont get. What the feck is their game here?

Now i get that these arseholes would love nothing more than to have Trump as an autoritarian leader and they have been leaning heavily towards authoritarianism for years now, but does really supporting Putin resonate among their supporters?

If its just some half baked scheme to try and undermine Biden its pretty foolish. "We support the genocide of the Ukranian people". Like what the feck kind of stance is that? How are you going to spin that?
 
Think you are talking about some assassins, not combat snipers.

A lot of the time that's what they do. Stay hidden for days watching somebody and shitting in a plastic bag. It's not often they're doing the American Sniper thing.
 
You know she’d be an Aunt in Gillead!

I'm pretty sure that those books were based on the conservative evangelical movement in the US. Mike Pence totally fits the bill. MTG is more of an opportunist grifter, not a true believer like Pence, but probably more dangerous nonetheless.

The people she's speaking to will be on board with anything that's against Biden really

I don't know if I'd agree with that. She definitely seems like a true believer. Remember that before she was a politician she was chasing school shooting survivors down the street demanding to know why they were lying about there being a school shooting. She's the real deal.
 
Me. I always thought he wasnt as mad as people were making out. Now Im terrified he's fkn nuts. This is sounding like Hitlers purification programs.

I’m surprised it’s not got more traction.

It’s the most worrying thing I think I’ve heard from Putin since the war if I’m honest and if now makes me think that he won’t stop.
 
Anyone know anything about the azov bridge? Thought Russia mentioning it was just propaganda, but then recently on bbc it said that azov killed a general so must be a decently sized group.

I never expected him to stop. Even if somehow the peace talks were successful he will still have it in his head to return and he will. He’s an individual that needs to be stopped either through overthrowing him from within, someone putting a bullet in him or complete military defeat (including taking his nukes out of action).
for me this is about the rest of the world standing together and saying this type of action that Putin took isn’t acceptable anymore, whether you are Russia, China, Korea, or whoever

There's no way to take their nukes out of action, they're everywhere : in hidden bunkers, on mobile vehicules, in submarines, and even if he was to agree (he won't) to denuclearization, we'd have no way of knowing if the dismantled all of them, there's just too many.

Then he has to be taken out of a position where he has access to them
 
Kremlin says it will not take heed of court's demand to stop invasion

Russia has signalled it will not stop its invasion of Ukraine, after the United Nations' top court ordered it to halt immediately.
The court had said it was "profoundly concerned" by Russia's use of force.
The Kremlin has now said it will not pay heed to the order, accusing Western media of spreading "monstrous fake news" about the conflict.
It also hit out at the US after President Joe Biden labelled Vladimir Putin a "war criminal".
A spokesperson said Mr Putin is a "very wise and cultured international figure".
They also said the US has long bombed civilians and used nuclear weapons in Japan and the end of the Second World War, Mr Biden has "no right to lecture Russia".
Asked about reports of progression on peace talks with Ukraine, the Kremlin said Russian negotiators were putting "colossal energy" into the discussions - more than Ukraine.
Russia's conditions for a peace deal are "absolutely clear" and could stop what is going on "very fast", they said.

While completely expected, surely we can use this to kick Russia out of the UN security council as a permanent member? Then I don't have to listen to that bald guy spout nonsense on the international diplomatic stage anymore.

They don’t want to remove him as it’s a useful channel of communication - a way to get him and other leaders around a table.

They should definitely use it to limit Russia’s power or even limit his powers personally in the organisation while maintaining Russia’s position. Make it clear to the Russian people that Putin is the issue, not Russia.
 
Who says he doesn’t have PTSD?

The reason Chris Kyle kept going back on more tours in Iraq was because of the difficulties in rejoining society, and that’s from a guy whose book opens with a story that includes the line “I can stand before God with a clear conscience about doing my job”.

Even if I believed in God that's deluded as feck.

Oh she’d happily do that.

The New Statesman published an article answering that very question yesterday. It does a better job than I ever could.

Old Testament god would be down with it.
 
Its every strongmans fear, but hes completely obsessed with it

Rambling about "purifying" your own people isnt something a confident leader would say

He's lost his mind. Imagine scripting, editing and deciding to go with that speech. How do these pathetic man babies get in power?
Old Testament god would be down with it.

That's the funniest bit about that lot. Quoting the old testament as if Jesus never happened.

Well, yes, but also, they’re allegedly the same guy, so you gotta take the wrath with the chill.

Either way, point from earlier being: even some snipers who fully believe in the rightness of what they’re doing get ptsd.

Oh, they exist. And, obviously, groups like that thrive in this environment, especially with the understandable rise of nationalistic sentiment in Ukraine. But they don’t have much political influence (while Putin tries to paint it like they are the ones that are in power in Ukraine if not holding the entire country hostage).

Yeah you'll get no argument from me on that front. It absolutely takes a toll on you.
