Atomic Hobo - the weekly nuclear war podcast is always a fascinating listen. This week's episode is a look at Putin's behaviour and asks whether he's trying out the old 'Madman Theory'. Essential listening for everyone on this thread I'd have thought, and nice and concise at just over 25...

May I also recommend this ace podcast too - Atomic Hobo? Started off as an interesting look at a strange and (hopefully) distant part of our history but has now become alarmingly relevant. http://www.juliemcdowall.com/index.php/podcast/

Seriously, how on earth did it get to the point where three man-child idiots, always keen to be phtotgraphed looking tough, or working in high viz and telling bare-faced lies, became leaders of three of the major players in world statesmanship. Sure, Trump's gone for now, but for how long? Have...

Ha! Was just looking back at this old thread (pun intended) I started years ago, and noticed the typo in the title :ffsparr: Anyway, the version on YouTube has long since disappeared, but if you want to watch Threads (genuinely essential viewing) you can do so here -...

You know when you've just caught up with 2 days' worth of posts :mad: I have real concerns that Polish Migs being painted in Ukrainian colours and sent in to the action, backed by the US, will be seen as an unacceptable escalation by Putin. And that will give him an excuse to escalate things...

Just an aside, but relevant. And very depressing. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/mar/05/putin-ukraine-invasion-white-nationalists-far-right?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other ‘Key to white survival’: how Putin has morphed into a far-right savior.

The NHS would collapse. "The panel’s conclusion was stark: Britain’s medical community could only be prepared for nuclear catastrophe by being on a permanent war footing. Otherwise, even the smallest Soviet attack “would cause the medical services in the country to collapse”."...

Can I ask what your opening word is? Do you change it each time?

There are more than 12,000 nuclear warheads in this world. It would just take 100 of them to extinguish life on Earth. Those who didn't die in the blasts would starve or freeze to death in the ensuing nuclear winter which would drop temperatures below freezing in almost all areas of the world...

WTF are you smoking? No-one hates the Russians, other than Putin and his cronies. We are cheering on their bravery in protesting what is happeneing. I don't think anyone really believes that the majority of the Russian public back this invasion of their neighbours. Would love to see the...

Toughie! Average - 3.89 What pissed me off about 'bloke' was that Wordle clearly uses an American dictionary (favour and that other one) buy 'bloke' is a slang word that's not used in the US. Grrr! Wiki says: "Bloke is a slang term for a common man in the United Kingdom, Ireland...

I don't think anyone has said anything about 'hating Russians' or whatever you're on about. Far from it in fact, I think everyone is hoping the Russian public realise that Vlad's lost the plot and are willing them to rise up and see him turfed out. Stop trying so hard to be the 'free-thinking'...
