Ukraine has twice the population of Oz. Russia has more than enough nuclear weapons to throw over to Australia and even New Zealand. China is a fucking huge issue, but for me there's nothing to suggest that Jinping is off his rocker in the same way as Putin is. I offer my condolences to you Renton. I wasn't aware of the hard time you have had to face. I will disregard this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30609 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 There’s warfare then there’s this bullshit. How long as we going to stand by while watching crimes are happening in front of our eyes? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5221 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Apparently a while longer yet. I fully believe we should go in there, but we aren't going to. We are going to watch this happen. I mean they haven't yet started executing people on the street but that'll be made public too so I think we're going to need to collectively brace for how bad things are going to get.

Rayvin 5221 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 It's possible but I don't see what Russia gains from it - they can't defeat NATO conventionally and losing to us would be a disaster for Putin. Similarly, for all he rattles on about nukes he'd get plenty right back down his throat if it ever came to it - so again, it's hard to see how that would benefit him. I think the grim and unpleasant truth is that the Russians don't think we'll do anything no matter what they do, because they have correctly determined that MAD allows both sides to do whatever the fuck they like as long as they don't attack each other. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. It's just when I look at my kids I'm terrified at escalation to nuclear war. But then I see these Ukrainian kids, and realise they are already in it. And why are my kids more valuable than them? They are to me of course, but I'm ultimately a humanist. But just think now we have to twist, and call the bluff, or not, as it may be. Destroy Russias air capability, destroy those convoys. They would lose the war overnight. We can't stop nuclear escalation beyond this point, it's not in our hands. But as we all know, there's no rational reason for Russia to this. But if they're not rational, we've no choice anyway long term imo. Netter to treat a disease before it spreads. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Ended up with two cars full of donations for Ukrainian refugees. People’s generosity has been overwhelming, as has the quality & precision of the donations. I’m taking it to York St John University tomorrow (of which I am an alumni) as they’re working quite closely with the Ukrainian embassy & associated charities. My mate into his guns basically provided a shit ton of shooting gear & boots. That’ll be going straight to the army 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3355 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 China will be in Taiwan before August, they are just watching how little the US is doing regarding the Ukraine and planning how far they can "annex". It's interesting how little has been mentioned about Putin wanting to maintain Europe's reliance upon Russia's supply of fossel fuels and his rejection of green power. Taking control of the Ukraine's nuclear plants is a huge part of that plan, so one down. Did anyone watch Occupied? This was a quote from the Russian Noweigan ambassador at the time: Quote Vyacheslav Pavlovsky [ru], the Russian ambassador to Norway, told Russian News Agency TASS, It is certainly a shame that, in the year of the 70th anniversary of the victory in World War II, the authors have seemingly forgotten the Soviet Army's heroic contribution to the liberation of northern Norway from Nazi occupiers, decided, in the worst traditions of the Cold War, to scare Norwegian spectators with the nonexistent threat from the east.[31][32] 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
