1st weigh in on 26th October.
Today I weighed 3.25kg less, so 7lb target reached (although not in November).
I think I'm going to weigh more tomorrow though :facepalm:
We had the same discussion earlier - what Putin thinks (or may think), and what we think. Your post "we are actively helping Ukraine to go on the attack and retaliate" suggests that's what you think? I agree that we're helping them more than we previously were. And Putin won't like it. But I...
I respectfully disagree. In my mind (which is a dark and twisted world) retaliation would be Ukraine bombing civilians, schools, hospitals etc across the whole of Russia (as well as ethnic cleansing and the like). They are striking military targets, to reduce the damage that Russia are doing to...
I'm don't think he does see it as Britain firing missiles at Russia. If he does, then presumably he'll fire missiles at us. Has he done that yet?
And we should help Ukraine defend themselves based on international law, not based on how an evil dictator claims to see things.
Yeah but you did say 'What should our response be, given that its basically what we are doing to Russia'. I disagree with that part.
I assume it's bluster but if we're attacked we'll respond.
We are supplying weapons for Ukraine to defend themselves against an invasion. We are limiting the use of those weapons to military targets. Have we invaded Belarus?
He will always be able to do that because everything the Kremlin says is a lie anyway, so they can say what they like and repeat it on their 'news' channels.
It's not the same as Japan. Japan attacked the US, the US didn't want to take over Japan, they just wanted to defeat them militarily, and no one could stop the US. Putin can be stopped.
I'm sure some are. I'm not. Partly because worrying doesn't help, largely because it makes no sense for Russia to attack another country.
We are a softer target, but we do have nuclear capability too.
Now hold on. We voted to leave the EU, but we're still allies. Ukraine aren't in the EU...
Yeah I'm not complaining. I'm getting the impression that the large majority of missiles got through. I'm guessing that's as expected. So my (further) speculation is that that number were fired either because
a) there were several sections to the compound that needed to be hit
b) some...
