    USSR invades Ukraine.

    There’s only one country intent on destroying Ukraine and that’s Russia. For instance, they’ve just delivered Ukraine the unenvied accolade of being the most mined country in the world. On that single fact Russia is the baddie. The West (once Russia knows it’s already beaten) will have to assist...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    The gymnastics you must be doing in your head. Just on the US Russia trying to achieve the same goal thing. You’ve become a parody.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I’ll start worrying when I go as far as claiming that there’s no goodies or baddies in a conflict where who the baddies are couldn’t be clearer.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    What about it? What about the first one?

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Depends. If you’re a Putin sympathiser then I guess not. If you believe that a sovereign nation has the right to democratically choose its own ideology and direction without fear of being invaded by a hostile neighbour who thinks they don’t have that right then there clearly is a goody and a...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    You clearly don’t. You may be aware that it happened but you’re well short of understanding the implications of that. I’ll help you out. That makes Russia the baddies. Same as it did is when we invaded Iraq on a lie. Or maybe you think that’s too simplistic again.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    It really would have been as simple as let Russia crack on with it while not spending $1.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Fuckin hell. You do understand that Russia invaded another country? Have you somehow missed that detail? I really don’t know what to expect next from you. You sound like the sort of deranged individuals that’s claim Hitler was misunderstood while dipping into holocaust denial.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Probably about how another nation had invaded their country and victory was only one possible outcome regardless of how long that took.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    That’s so naive. For example, see the Vietnam war. Massively outgunned by the US, The Viet Cong thought with little more than pitchforks and muskets in the early days and were never as well trained or armed as the NVA. They formed in the 1950’s and fought until 1973, the best part of 20 years...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I wonder if the pro Russian Ukrainian separatists that helped Russia kick this off in 2014 now regret that stance given Russia clearly doesn’t and never did give a shit about them. They’ll be extremists no doubt, there always is but I’d wager that the majority now regret their original stance...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Never said it was simple. But what other options are there? The reality is Ukraine is a sovereign democracy, I thought you believed in that as a brexit supporter? The reality is except for a minority in a tiny sliver of Ukraine the sovereign country of Ukraine voted in a pro European government...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I don’t think anyone thinks that they’ll be a peace treaty so long as Putin is in control. He said as much only in July. All Ukraine has to do is defeat Russia and Russia retreat back to the borders they agreed when the Soviet Union collapsed. That doesn’t require a peace treaty. It also...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Compared to what? Standing by and doing nothing? That would be the ultimate not caring about the fate of the Ukrainian people. Do nothing and put them in the hands of a Vichy Russian puppet government, isolating Ukraine from the rest of the world at the hands of a madman intent on wiping Ukraine...

    Russell Brand

    Which is a good point. Society for the most part has moved forward and for the most part no longer offers sexual offenders a hiding place. In the 70’s society turned such a blind eye to it that Iggy Pop could write and release a song about how he had sex with one of the so called Baby Groupies...

    Russell Brand

    There’s some claims of sexual indiscretion heading in his way so he’s preemptively sowing the seed that he’s the victim?

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Not long had it for the second time, I assume this new strain given the timing. I get the impression that despite being an overweight, asthmatic 50 year old I’m quite lucky and don’t seem to suffer as much as some. Had the banging headache, sore throat, sweats and aches. The fatigue is the worst...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Basically we’re going to have to inhale an extra 5 years of petrol and diesel fumes in our lifetimes, clearly promoting the continuing fall in life expectancy while making sure we’re a bigger burden on the NHS in the process for everything from respiratory illnesses to cancer. He’s cancelled a...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The speech Sunak is currently giving is equally as bat shit crazy, irrational, misguided and stupid as the one Truss gave the other day. Such a wholesale change in government policy since the last election surely requires a mandate from the electorate. He’s got to call a GE if this is the...
