At least we had a good reason to kill hundreds of thousands of innocents in Iraq.
That there oil is worth a fortune.

Could be a swift end in Ukraine as Russia are now in Kyiv.
The big question is, what happens next ?

I think that will be entirely up to Putin, as in if and where he wants to go next.

If Putin is just dipping his toe in the water with a view to moving further west ,i wonder just how many of our NATO allies would be any good in a scrap & how many would just roll over & play dead while the Ruskies walked across border after border ? The EU is another entity made up of many countries that had to be liberated by us ,the Yanks & the Russians after the aggression of the Third Reich.

We'll see, but I wouldn't completely write off Ukraine just yet, no doubt they would prefer to engage in an urban conflict than a rural one anyway. They've already inflicted more damage on Russia than Russia was expecting, so this could be where we start to see Ukraine give Russia a bloody nose. If the war gets drawn out and Russia suffer significant loses, then we may well see the Russian public finally turn on Putin

Trying to somehow live off the glory of the achievements of people who lived and died I'm guessing before you were born is really rather pathetic. As is some lazy, nationalistic assumption that citizens of other nations would surrender their countries more meekly than we would. Give your head a shake.

I'd say he'd try and regain Lithuania, Estonia, Belarus and Latvia to bring back the eastern block

Well Belarus are are already in Russia's pocket thanks to Putin's aid to that despot Lukashenko keeping the puppet leader in power against the wishes of the Belarusian people, as for the other 3 countries they are members of NATO and unlike The Ukraine would be under the protection of NATO, depends on how brave the thug is I suppose.

Stock market absolutely smashing it today


Tories and Capitalists filling their boots on the back of the Demise of the Ukrainian people.
How pathetic
What’s not to like

Post of the day

, but doesn’t fit the USA hypocrisy narrative

The amount of apologia and whataboutary when it comes to non-western imperialism (particularly from the online left) is so frustrating

Too much money to be made supplying israel arms to care about Palestine!

Should that be Israel with a capital I?.

Just my opinion Sunshine. No doubt you have your own opinions.

And a very valid opinion as well, even if it doesn't fit the narrative of some on here.

When your opinion rests essentially on trying to live off some reflected glory of World War 2, as if you fought in it, and some disturbing sense of national or ethnic superiority then you should expect to have it challenged.

I know it upsets our flag waving obsessives but Britons are no better or worse than anyone else.

We’re with you 100% Ukrainians

Anyone who thinks the west is truly 100% with Ukraine is either a btec student or reads the daily mail/the sun.
The west is too scared to get involved

Jersey a fine example of brits standing up toHitler . Not.
If Britain had been invaded I wonder what would have happened .

Putin has forgotten Russia’s own recent history during the Second World War. The Russians like all individuals will fight harder when the war is taking place on your homeland. They themselves suffered severe atrocities and hardship but unlike the occupying force they had the resolve to see if through with arms supplied by the allies.
Ukraine could fall to Russia but not until they have a very bloody fight. The question will become do the Russian people have his resolve when the dead and wounded are returned,

Never been, but doesn't Jersey belong to France?

Do you mean the west are not 100% committed to the Ukraine, or that not 100% of the west are committed, also I would suggest that there is a difference between being scared and being cautious.

I'm starting to think this is a parody account.

Indeed and despite the massive loss in terms of civilian casualties, it would be a far better outcome if Ukraine could resist for long enough to make the Russians withdraw.
Mind you, I dont have Putin down as a leader that would want to walk away with a bloody nose.
Perhaps he thought that the Ukrainian's would roll over easily but, this doesn't seem to be happening.

Oxymoron springs to mind here.
