YepThats depressing. Poland has so much ot be proud of, and also, it appears, a fair bit to be ashamed of.
Much like the UK response so far.
Currently one of (if not the) largest donor in the world of aid to Ukraine & also right up there in terms of donations & fundraising in terms of the great British public...
.....yet when you've escaped a war & travelled for days to reach Calais, you get a kit-kat & turned around to Paris to fill out a 14 page form.
I would invite everyone to watch this video. Some really good reporting from Ukraine, which again makes the Russian invasion look eerily weak.
One line stuck with me from a Ukrainian soldier: 'We fight like lions. They won't win.'
It's graphic, so be warned.
Yeah it's been an utter disaster so far.
That's not to say they can't /won't win of course.
But they had planned to take Kyiv in 3 days and the whole country in 15 days (somehow).
Banning Twitter, Facebook and instagram eh?
Anyone else warming to this putin fella?
Or Sky Blues Talk, for that matter!Some people on here wouldn’t have a life without twitter

Long term no matter what the outcome is Putin has led to Russia becoming a true pariah state.
Don't think he cares what the so-called "liberal democracies" think of him as long as they "fear" him.Long term no matter what the outcome is Putin has led to Russia becoming a true pariah state.
Don't think Putin does irony.
His message of NATO pulling back their area of influence and demanding that they have to withdraw NATO weapons etc from post-1997 NATO countries yet he intends to put a load of his new weapons into Belarus that borders NATO states. He's actually advancing towards NATO rather having this buffer zone he claims towant to create in UKraine.
Biden on twitter tonight again saying that there's no chance of NATO going into Ukraine. This is odd after at least vague threats from various parties of 'serious consequences' if Russia uses chemical weapons.
Tactically, I can't help feel it's a mistake. We shouldn't be telling Putin what we won't do, we should at least be sowing the seed of doubt - it might be the only thing holding Putin back from using even more hideous tactics.
That's just embarrassing and pretty low even by your standards. You are the one who is as right wing and firecly independent about their own country as as Gerry and the IRA are about Ireland.You should know your seeing it first hand aren’t you? Is Gerry with you? Bet the old terrorist beardy twat is feeling the chill
Trump had no international strength. He was a laughing stock globally, an egotistical and narcissistic madman like Putin.I agree. Biden is predictable and weak president internationally. For all his faults, Trump (as the 2020 alternative) was at least stronger in foreign policy and his abrasive and unconventional style deterred the likes of Putin.
It’s no surprise Putin has intervened in Ukraine during two Democrat administrations. Both Biden and Obama were weak on Russia.
Putin only responds to strength. Biden stating that NATO won’t do this and that emboldens Putin and strategically hamstrings NATO.
OK so you feel Germany are worried about energy. Why do you think Boris has been less keen to take measures against Putin?Shameful
By its actions, Germany is propping up Putin’s war machine as much as China
With Berlin 'procrastinating', measures against the Kremlin are not hurting enoughwww.telegraph.co.uk
I have no love for Trump, he was definitely an egotistical narcissist madman.Trump had no international strength. He was a laughing stock globally, an egotistical and narcissistic madman like Putin.

I tend to agree. Even if NATO aren't going in, the stance should be NATO are prepared to go in if necessary.Biden on twitter tonight again saying that there's no chance of NATO going into Ukraine.

Yup, far from great is it. Doesn't make what Russia are doing any less horrific though does it.
