Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion
- Thread starter Wednesday at Stoke
- Start date
I think at best we can hope that we will use this as a very nice excuse to send Ukraine more air defence systems and other modern equipment.
Disgusting comment.
That was your post in the nutshell though.
In isolation sure, but if it doesn't get any meaningful reaction from NATO it is going to become a regular occurence and there will be a lot more escalations.

Don’t agree with the comment but it’s a similar sentiment to what you are saying.
I understand your frustration with Al's attitude but this was not an appropriate comment to make.
Impressive hypocrisy
I assume it was an analogy of Chamberlain being ‘ok’ with Germany, while the Nazi regime was killing millions of Jews. It was in response to the poster who said that doesn’t want the UK to enter the war.
Again, I can only assume but the poster is making the analogy between other countries just watching Nazi Germany killing Jews and watching Nazi Russia killing Ukrainians and Poles. As long as it is not killing us, we keep a blind eye.
Seriously, bro?
He was saying this in reference to Al's posts. I don't agree with the comment, but I also don't agree with Al's which basically say the same thing.
If there were no deaths, then tomorrow this would already be a non-story. But I assume the fact that 2 people have died does make it slightly more complicated. Interested to know how this is received in Polish media.
He's the poster.
Indeed, which makes it quite ironic.
Surely Russia will eventually feck around enough that we’ll hand Ukraine the long-range missiles they have been wanting…surely?

Strange. You’d rather article 5 and WW3?
Sometimes a wild fire has to just be left to run its course, especially if you know intervention will only make it spread further to areas it would not have otherwise reached and cost million more lives.
First post on page 1000.
Can only hope.

Satire holds a mirror up to society to allow the reader to see a true reflection of itself.
Burn the…
Ukraine uses Soviet not Russian produced.
That's an insane way to describe a country being the victim of an brutal war of conquest by another country.
There is a massive amount of room between doing absolutely nothing and being happy being an island and nuclear armaggedon. Just saying.
And Russian too Or you think they didn't buyh anything from 1991 to 2014?
The Jews were not a country that were at war. They were a people being rounded up by the millions and being slaughtered. His comment and its intent are appalling and sick.
Also from a selfish point of view the dynamics of WW2 were completely different to today, Germany was militarily equal to the U.K. so the Germans invading the U.K. was a real possibility and something that Hitler planned to do and came close to doing. The Russian has no plans on attacking Britain.

Worked brilliantly before the whole appeasement tactic.
Nobody wants WW3 and I don’t think article 5 is personally the right response but we should be getting involved.
Tell that to the people overreacting to my post that said I hope the U.K. doesn’t get into a war.
Germany invading the UK was an impossibility. As for your point about the Jews, I'll remind you that the large majority of Jews that were killed by the Nazis were not German Jews.
The Ukraine power grid was connected to the European in a hurry when this was started (was connected to the Russian before).That was a planned move, but as Ukraine wasn't really ready this was a technically risky move even if Russia didn't attack Ukrainian power stations. So it's not surprising that it has an effect on Europe, but the decision was made to accept this risk to support Ukraine and stabilize their electrical power situation
I think we’ve found the new village idiot.

You don’t have to be a country to be at war. If someone wants to wipe you off the face of the planet it doesn’t matter if you’re Ukrainian, Jewish or otherwise.
Russia is a threat to NATO at this point. It’s not right to turn a blind eye to this.
Don't sell yourself short. You said quite a lot after that part.
You can’t sugarcoat war with pretty analogies. I feel like people have become desensitised to war by seeing it so much on the tv, maybe to some they think it’s a like a video game.
Leave @AlPistacho alone. He’s got a World Cup to watch and doesn’t want to be distracted.
And when that wildfire is knocking at your door, who will you call for then?
Satire is often used as cover for racism.
Tagging @golden_blunder, @Raoul in here before it gets out of hand.

Actually the opposite. I’m assuming your wife hasn’t been the one unable to make any contact with her parents and friends, since the electricity supply and Internet was wiped out by Russian missiles in her hometown today.
You get your feet up though and enjoy living on your little island.
