Midway, not sure you got the message across, your not a VP fan? ))

Cornwall can declare war if they are going to shoot pasties at us! ))

If there was a far right issue of concern to Russia then why wasn’t it dealt with under Victor Yanokovych time in power?
I’m not saying there wasn’t but asking the question.

VP didn’t think he would have to go through the application process. Has always thought the rules don’t apply to him then I guess…

Chique, nearly every country in the world has an ethic mix, that’s why in a democratic society there are elections and governments voted for. Everyone has a say but you don’t always get what you want. These elections are at national and local level. Scotland NI and wales got devolved powers to placate local sympathies and the only one in the U.K. to cry like a ***** is Scotland. And that’s because sturgeon would rather give fisheries back to the eu than be connected to the English. She is on her way out as well, as I said dictators have a shelf life.

A general mobilisation and call up would make the population come out with their true belief in the actions it’s government are taking. Easy to sit on the fence when you’re doing it at home, another thing when you are going to be fitted with a uniform.

Difficult to soften up a force fighting for their homeland. Much easier to soften up forces who have little interest in the reason they’re there.

Blue, what they are worried about is the permanent loss of seized funds and property. Legislation going through to use money and property to pay reparations. Not 100% sure I agree with individuals suffering this fate but government funds maybe.
The oligarchs thought they could just sit it out.

If VP is so reckless to go full pants on head ball of glory mode, why does he need such a long table to distance himself from visitors? Not the actions of someone who has little regard for their own health.
If fact the noises coming from Lavrov seem to be more de escalating like no nukes and sanction removal part of peace talks.
I’d guess the realities are starting to bite and the thoughts of long term economic damage are starting to become clear.
Watched a movie made for the 10 years anniversary of the falklands conflict and there are many lines by Thatcher that are transferable to this conflict.
Dictators don’t survive in the end and criminalising your population loses domestic support quicker than oil covered eel slips down a drainpipe.

Looks like a roll over to me as the volume is the same

What were you accusing me of nick?

And the source of that info? A politician who had applied for asylum in Russia after being found to be a stooge or traitor depending on how you view the situation. Propaganda until from a reliable source.

Mearsheimer, he’s just a theorist, and all theory goes out the window when someone punches you in the face.
I do agree that the US shouldn’t try to police the planet tho.

Yep e Entoman, roadrunner is full of **** and he accuses me of being on the sauce….

Easy to be popular in a one horse race?

RoadR Hmmm maybe on RT he’s not popular but in the real world

Americans can’t vote in Ukraine roadr

The reports I’ve read say Zelensky has a higher popularity than ever.
He could have legged it but stood his ground rather than sitting in the sun in Miami. Would you have don’t that? Doubt it road bummer

The tracksuit warriors have been a pain in Russia arse for 200 years. Georgia a different story…
