It's f***ing remarkable the gymnastics he does. Literally like he builds sentences with words from a f***ing lottery.
-
It was you that made the claim for the Russians reasons! Absolutely amazing
-
NATO isn't arming them.... again, genius.... It's like words don't mean anything to you.
-
That's an unsourced opinion piece fella. I quoted actual russian administration! Lol. Congratulations... youre a f***ing genius, you have won...

Read up on the Budapest memmorandam. Russia, uk, us recognised and garinteed the borders, sovereignty and security of all successors to the USSR, and one of them, Ukraine, agreed to give up their share of the Soviet nukes. Putin's excuse for ignoring this is that new separatist states have formed so the memmorandam is irrelevant.
-
You literally can't provide evidence to the contrary. I'm still waiting for the promised proof that russia objected to air defence missile because theyll intercept their nukes... So I'm comical and factual.
-
NATO aren't sending weapons.... just like America doesn't have missile silos in Europe, forward deployed air defence systems aren't a particular concern to russia, and Ukraine is a sovereign country.
-
All NATO members aren't getting involved. No idea about Ukrainian law, neither do I care. Again, NATO isn't actively involved.
-
Just to clarify, currently, nothing.
-
Lined up lovely. See what reception is planned.
-
Which is exactly why Putins standard response to anything is 'nudge nudge wink wink, I'll nuke you'. It's a good response tbf ?
-
Happened upon this and goes so away to explaining Russia's nuclear escalation. According to several reports, including reports by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists that quote Russian sources, the Russian Federation has in recent decades formulated explicit strategies for using tactical nuclear weapons. These new strategies have in part resulted from the assumption of obtaining air supremacy and use by the U.S. Air Force of precision munitions with little collateral damage in the Kosovo conflict in what amounted to quick mass destruction o

If I understand right, Germany have moved to almost doubled its defence budget for the year, and want to maintain 2%gdp from now on. France have intercepted a Russian merchant vessel in the channel for investigation. f**k me, what's come over those pair of habitual wet wipes!

So you don’t believe this is evidence that the Russians have invaded Ukraine? You claim not to have seen any. I’m not talking about Kiev. As I thought, your threshold for evidence and proof is always higher than what is reasonably achievable. Keeps everything comfortable that.
-
I didn’t say that single video was conclusive. Neo asked for any evidence, which I provided. Ive seen enough to conclude they are being invaded. But I’ve no real interest in presenting all of it and my reasoning in full. Sure there’s going to be conflicting accounts and opinions.
-
Not sure I exactly understand you but I accept that Russia has invaded Ukraine and is fighting for full control. I don’t necessarily believe every picture and video is what is claimed. The overwhelming number of them though and the fact all sides and major observers agree that this is happening supports the fact it is, imo. For Neo to say he’s seen no evidence of it either suggests he isn’t making any effort to look or has set the threshold for proof so high as to be effectively unprovable.
-
Are you even looking? Or do you need them to be showing their passports and gps coordinates for you to verify?
-
The actions of a man who’s winning?
-
Given your circumstances I think that’s a very reasonable view tbh.
-
Yeah fair. Shock and awe isn’t really about destruction, it’s about showing such a level of overwhelming force that the enemy quit before full destruction is needed. It’s psychological more than destructive. Theres been bits of it with air power fly bys. We’ll see.
-
Thank you. No doubt uk forces could use more depth and to fill the capability gaps that have gone unfunded but Russia are still largely fighting with yesterdays weapons. Eg I believe they built a fifth-gen air superiority fighter before we had any lightenings, and to date they have less deployable than we do. That’s a game changing asset for peer on peer conflict and they haven’t mass produced it. Our procurement rate is slow as f**k and we’re still beating them! We’re not seeing the sort of shock and awe strategy that the us employed in Iraq. There’s a reason for that, maybe it’s tr
-
Just to add though, in addition to their ground forces they have a separate air assault force and naval infantry (marines). So its a bit missleading.
-
This may be semantic, the combined strength of all five branches of the Ukrainian armed forces is reported to be 245k+220k reservists. Not seen the exact breakdown for the ground forces, but 125k regulars would be reasonable.
-
Same way he got in, BS. If he needs to, claim he achieved the denazification of Ukraine and is leaving the place better and free, despite nato claims he was invading. He’s actually a humanitarian. Still to early to tell.
-
The weapons came with military trainers I believe. Obviously limited in what they can achieve but still. Also of course ukraine had been preparing for this sort of conflict for a while. So you’d expect them to be tactically prepared. Obviously I can’t speak from experience and maybe others who can will, but the two weapons that have been provided are the stinger MANPAD and the NLAW anti tank weapon. I believe both are fire and forget weapons with self guided missiles. They require less input from the operator than previous generations of the same type of weapon. Britain had a contrac
