Desperation ?.. The buggers are coming in close, a bit to close for comfort. You can see something kicking off here, big style. A missile fired by mistake maybe or a near civilian disaster seeing as though they switch their transponders off.. Happening a hell of a lot now apparently and off the Cornish coast last night.. http://news.sky.com/story/1430182/russia-a-real-and-present-danger-to-nato-states http://news.sky.com/story/1430431/nato-fighter-jets-intercept-russian-bomber
"At no time did the Russian military aircraft cross into UK military airspace." The Russians are playing their favourite game mate, that`s all.
Does cold war style intimidation even work anymore? North Korea are boring me to death and all these two stories stir up me is ffs here we go, if you're going to do something just ****ing do it. I don't give a **** me, they won't make me live in fear and I hope this attitude is shared by the masses.
Big difference between North Korea & Russia but yeah, I get your drift.. Russia are getting pushed into a corner so maybe one day they will do it. Personally, they don't scare me either, I've enough at home that scares me daily. Just thought it was a good topic for a thread, nothing more..
Happens more often than you'd think mate. Simple intel gathering exercises by TU-95's over the Balkans, they have to use a loop, sometimes air traffic needs them to divert and our ATC aren't informed (as they don't enter our air space) so we scramble interceptors. It looks provocative, but they probably like that. They don't legally need to inform the UK, so why the **** should they? If they were a threat I'd imagine they'd get nowhere near Cornwall.
simple solution we should shoot all the gun-ho politicians then we wouldn't have all this 'cold war bullshit' - peace and harmony everywhere
Answered your own question, its just posturing. They might declare alliance with Devon, and teach these Neanderthals that it is jam then cream (swap around if I got it the wrong way round).
It's bollocks innit, you'd think Putin's got nothing else to do but poke his stupid Bear around Cornwall. Nothing going on in Ukraine nowadays, let's just go and smash a few windows.
Ah so that's why they flew down the Channel recently, explains all, cheers.. Big fcukin turning circle they need mind..
Get yer Catapult out like the rest of us hard lads musket ffs, I thought you had anal sex in mind there like..
Agreed on all counts fella, What I like to call the 'real' world, that being the things I encounter personally in life, houses all my fears. I completely agree that North Korea is nothing compared to Russia like.
Listen. They`re all idiots except us. They just need to be told that`s all. Especially that little fat lad with the daft haircut. Simple. I should be a diplomat me like.
