The thing that is scary about all this is the West is pushing Putin into a corner. Now Liz Truss has turned up the heat. Problem is, we only have about 5 and half tanks in operation. We couldn't even provide enough PPE for our own people FFS! Stop all the BS and just tell him we will freeze all the Russian money (which supports him).

Don't know if that's the uks stance but if the yanks are going to let Russia invade
Even a little bit
It would be madness to stand alone
What's the EUs stance on it

Not sure to be honest. Surely if it’s a stance the U.K. was against we should at least be seen to be vocal, threaten sanctions. If there’s nothing, the U.K. along with America under the Biden regime, and possibly the Eu are giving them the green light.

I feel honoured and responsible, that on my return, the conversation has been turned into something more important and interesting than Johnson and his parties….a proud poster.

Now if anyone would like to take note of Stans thought from a day or so back, re the possibility (only a possibility) of China using it as a chance to take back Taiwan…then the whole situation gets even more interesting/scary……all this might amount to nothing but it really has got potential to start global conflict
 
I have always used that name. I have my rights to say what I want. Move on and accept biology. Anyway we are discussing Biden and the Ukraine

You use it in response to someone who has a trans person in their family as you know. It’s personal and very disrespectful. You are right you can say what you want, like I have a right to point out it’s ****ish to do so.

Ive looked it up and found George Galloway. I know now... but why would a workers party want to shot workers?
back to Ukraine.
The worrying thing for the World is that Biden is Presedent. Under Trump although an idiot, both Russia and China couldn't work him out as he was so unpredictable. Sadly Biden has already shown his hand in Afghanistan and when he holds a press conference.

Sorry Wills but I didn't know that. I thought you just went on about it all the time.

Your first paragraph make no sense Ellers. Please expand.
I do agree to some extent on the rest of your post….I think Putin and Xi really thought Trump was batshit crazy and would be happy to have a global conflict. Dunno if that’s a good thing though to be fair
 
ok no worries appreciate this. Let’s move on.

Wasn’t it Trump who signed the Afghan withdrawal?
Once again a sincere apology. That's always the thing with social media you don't really know too much about people or their lives. :emoticon-0148-yes:

Well, you said they would shot me... but I am a worker so it doesnt make sense. Besides if it was Gorge Galloway firing the gun he would probably miss. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

It's all I can do to handle the sorry state of politics in the country, Stainesy. I really don't want to start thinking about global issues and the threat of conflicts which might impact my kids and grandkids, because I find it all too depressing. I've had my life, but I do worry so much about what might happen to my family in the future.

I wouldnt worry until they invade... which I still believe they wont do.

it’s ok basically an exes son is trans, I adopted him when we were together.. since we split years back there was a falling out between him and his mum and now lives with me full time. I am very protective, as in the last few years we’ve had to deal with a lot of ****. He just wants a quiet life where people just leave him be. Good news though we have a college interview coming up.

Nah totally get that Strolls….makes perfect sense. As I get that little bit older and closer to death I’m getting a bit of that ‘couldn’t give a ****’ attitude. Like when I was at my old job I was petrified of losing it and always careful what I said….now I’m like ‘hey, Ho’ if I lose my job (not that I want to) I’ll work somewhere else. It all becomes less important.
I just find the whole Russia/Ukraine thing really fascinating and to be honest…quite exciting in a weird way. This is history that’s being played out in our lifetimes and it was, until the last couple of days, mostly being ignored.
