Call me a horrible person but within the next 2 years I hope Putin “accidentally” falls out of a window and Russia fully withdraws its army. Can’t see a resolution with Putin in the picture and the only way I can see him being out the picture requires his death. No one trusts him, not even his...

They already have. Putin is on the record saying that he doesn’t believe Ukraine has the right to exist and Ukraine has said it will not stop fighting until all its sovereign land is returned to them. You have your answer. The terms for both sides are already out in the open.

I heard on the radio that on Tuesday (two days after Sunak recorded his video confirming the cancellation and a day before he officially announced the cancellation) that the government completed the compulsory purchase of a property in Staffordshire for £1.5M for the development of phase 2.

It’s less than 3 Boris not fit for purpose track and trace systems that were dumped barely after a year. On that basis HS2 is a bargain.

Hey Sick Boy, do a forum search using Yemen as your search word. For the benefit of doubt you’ll see me do nothing other than condemning the sales of arms to Saudi Arabia on several different threads. There is another poster though who justifies it using excuses like “it secures British jobs”...

I’m outraged. You assumed I wasn’t in an attempted gotcha. I’ve pointed this out to you already.

1) That isn’t an actual point, it’s a pipe dream. There is zero prospect of having a negotiated piece with Putin. It’s for the birds. It didn’t work in 2014 when he annexed Crimea it won’t work again. What is it they say about doing the same things expecting different results? 2) I’m not...

You can quite easily accuse the US and UK governments of hypocrisy for their stances on Ukraine and Saudi Arabia and I think everyone here would agree with you. I certainly would and I’ve not seen anyone else say anything to suggest they wouldn’t either. But that’s not what you’re doing. You’re...

Russia clearly worried about Crimea enough that its considering moving its fleet to a port in one of the other countries it’s illegally annexed https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-67017375 How many countries has the guy we’re meant to believe is capable of being negotiated with now...

Let’s negotiate with this guy https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/67018505

“For one thing, much of it rests on the presumption that Putin would have acquiesced to a genuinely neutral Ukraine as opposed to one that marched in lockstep with Russia’s interests. Given that Putin declared Ukraine an “inalienable part” of Russia’s “spiritual space” when justifying his...

Just clocked that there’s a by-election in Scotland today. Labour and SNP vying for the win. Starmer will be like a dog with 2 dicks if the win that ahead of the Labour Party conference.

Isn’t the only countries strategy that counts here is Ukraines strategy of not bending to Russia? Any other countries strategy that matters is a response to Ukraines strategy. Also Russia has always had the same strategy as the West. Disruption and interference. Maybe the US should make a fresh...

I agreed with something Pritti Patel said the other day.

Where has this childish mentality come from that if you agree with an individual, organisation or government’s stance on one issue you must automatically agree with them on everything. 6th form debating gets thrown around a lot but this is a primary school mentality. It is possible to agree with...

Ahh. The old Ukraine can’t operate its sovereign right to join NATO with the backing of its population because it might upset Putin argument. Fact is if Putin was a better neighbour it’s neighbours who managed to stay neutral all though the highs and lows of the Cold War wouldn’t now be...

I struggle to have sympathy with Assange if I’m being honest. He seemed complicit in orchestrating that entire scenario himself because when he did finally face justice the charges were dropped due to a lack of evidence. Plus there’s something wrong with anyone who does a dirty protest...

And a guy who’s repeatedly said Russias victory was assured in the next 24 hours.

You seem unbelievably inept on Ukrainian history so I’ll give you the short version. In 2014 a Russian stooge Yanukovych refused to sign the Ukraine-EU association agreement that he had been voted in on the understanding that he would sign which had been over a decade in the making and pursued...

Ahh. The old Ukraine isn’t allowed the sovereignty to democratically move closer to one of its neighbours in case it upsets a mentalist in Russia argument. It’s always especially ironic when its brexiteers who trot out that excuse. Why is one company allowed the sovereignty to move away from...
