So what’s peoples thoughts on the impending invasion of Ukraine by Putin and his comrades ? Is it the usual bluster and knob waving from our favourite Russkie despot or, as many believe, finally gonna happen and have the potential to be the spark for a global conflict.
Could this be the beginning of the end for civilisation or just another page in the history books……any thoughts or are we all still wrapped up in Boris and his parties ?

It has a feel as though he’s testing the waters yet again, see if the rest of the world are to busy to care. Does feel like a matter of time

Im not too sure this time…….think he feels pretty empowered at the moment and is gonna see this as an opportunity to get back a bit of territory. From what I’m reading and the troop build up, seems that an invasion is imminent. I’m also hearing on good authority that certain sections of the armed forces are on 5 day notice to travel to Ukraine (though possibly this is just a routine thing)
It’s all gonna be about how the West reacted to an invasion….do we leave the Ukrainians to there fate or do we protect them to the hilt ? Either way ain’t gonna be good.

I am enjoying the Pork Pie Plot and the spectacle of Boris falling apart. Please can you not disturb my enjoyment by bringing up serious issues that could have huge ramifications for the world? Ta.

Exactly this. We have bigger issues and people are starting to realise this. Boris won’t go before May elections, if he does.

Only trying to steer the politics thread onto what I naively feel should be important to us all, instead of blithering on all day about far more interesting debates about whether Carrie really knew the size of Johnson’s johnson before she decided to get impregnated by him.
I shall resist any further interjection and talk about who had what party where ;)
 
Ann Widdecombe was spot on in her interview today. Boris needs to stop apologising, wait for the inquiry result and get on with the job.

I agree mate it’s just about party’s on here at present . No one talks about the Pound, economy, China, Ukraine, Brexit and other political stuff.
We all know Boris went to a party as we all know Sir Starmer did.
On Ukraine… I don’t think Russia will attack from what they have been saying.

Really…..? What have they been saying that I’ve missed (genuine question) ? Seems to me, from what I’m seeing and reading, that an invasion is near on imminent and the question shouldn’t really be about IF it’s gonna happen, rather more about how we in the west are gonna react WHEN it happens.
