We will be much poorer for it, and as a function of that our military capability will diminish (and is diminishing already - RAF as an example, is half the size it was 10/12 years ago). The organisation we left is getting more powerful whilst we shrink, but it’s all good 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 22147 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 good ol lizzy Putin issued nuclear order in response to Liz Truss comments, Kremlin says https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/putin-ukraine-russia-truss-nuclear-b2024839.html also Russia's Kommersant newspaper quoted two diplomatic sources as saying that during their closed-door meeting on Thursday Lavrov had asked Truss if she recognised Russian sovereignty over Rostov and Voronezh - two regions in the south of the country where Russia has been building up its forces. Kommersant said Truss replied that Britain would never recognise them as Russian, and had to be corrected by her ambassador. Britain does not dispute the sovereignty of the regions in question. A British source said Truss had misheard during the meeting, and rejected Peskov's characterisation of the West's understanding of the conflict. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not fussed if people have a completely different take on things, I just think Trump was a better president than he was given credit for.

That “some woman” is the UK Foreign Secretary and therefore what she says is taken as our position.

Alex 35572 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 If you get your ‘news’ from ‘alternative news sites’ backed by people of a conservative slant (and by extension in all likelihood Putin) then you’ll have a different view on the actions of Putin and those on his payroll.

I think that's what you want to beleive tbh. You can say "he did this, he did that" till the cows come home. The fact that he's a gangster seems to pass people like you by, but your perfectly willing to annhilate Biden and the Clinton's for alllgedly doing the same things.

When you see him talking from a podium it’s a cringe fest. But in a room he is personable and (in my view) usually accurate in his assessment of most issues. For my money anyway.
