[Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

Reading between the lines here, I don't think Phillips likes Trump all that much. https://open.substack.com/pub/phill...?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=4shdhp

It's a brilliant piece, thank you. I too have been guilty of hoping Trump would pivot to being a decent human re Ukraine, or at least balanced. No chance.
Thanks for posting .

The only hope is that he can be convinced to do the right thing (support Ukraine) for the wrong reasons (Vladimir made me look stupid).

It’s not out of the question and it’s worth persisting with for a bit longer.

Putin wants to delay and play silly buggers over a ceasefire - let him. This aids Europe more than it does Russia.

Empires are run by Emperors
Kingdoms are run by Kings
States are run by Statesmen
Councils are run by Councillors
The US is a country.

Are you missing a couple?

Dicks run by Dictators?

And Presidents are in charge of the local cricket club ....

Has anyone seen @cunning fergus?
I’m bored.

Been at Cheltenham this week so no time to worry about the plight of Ukraine and the ineptitude of British and European political leaders over the last 20 years or so. Laters.

Your trip to Cheltenham has obviously given you an opportunity to collect yet more horse shit to spread on this thread.

Starmer is now leading a coalition of the willing including Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. A coalition that will hopefully arm Ukraine to the teeth a plough billions into their struggle against who will surely be judged as the biggest threat to peace, freedom and democracy this century.

Trot on.

Ukraine liberates another settlement near Pokrovsk - that's six liberated recently. Clearly a hard grind in that area but it's not all about Russia inching forward.

Shouldn’t have hurried back. The air has been so much cleaner without you.

A coalition devoid of European military powers like Poland and Germany. Let far flung Australia, New Zealand and Japan plough billions into the Ukrainian crisis, they can obviously afford it.

How are Poland not involved? They are the main staging post for aid into Ukraine and are arming up like no tomorrow. Germany are thankfully getting their arse in gear with the new chancellor pulling the strings.

nah na na f***ing clueless …… ( it’s match day).

“Germany is back” is a phrase that would have sent a shiver down the spine not so long ago. If the AfD had won the election, it most definitely still would.

Such a poisonous little goblin, isn't he? Hungarians need to realise who their friends and enemies are then get shot of him.

It’s one to watch. Elections expected by April next year, Tisza has overtaken Orban’s party in the polls in recent months.

Dirty tricks and Russian money undoubtedly incoming…another good reason to do as much damage to the Russian economy as possible, as soon as possible.

Interesting video in Peter's Russia series. He claims that the Russians had US help to retake Kursk.

 

[GoldstoneVintage]

I can't remember the US envoy's name. Real Estate guy and Trump golf buddy - Witless? Wankoff? Anyway, according to this video, Putin kept him waiting for 8 hours in Moscow. Oof!

Necessity is the mother of invention.

Europe should both equip Ukraine militarily, but also support Ukrainian efforts to upgrade its own Ukraine-made weapons.
Ukraine used its own Ukraine-made Neptune cruise missile on the attack on the Tuapse refinery, after giving it a new, improved range of 1000km.

This brings Moscow easily within range if this missile is deployed in northern or central Ukraine.

 

[SouthSaxon]

Interesting video in Peter's Russia series. He claims that the Russians had US help to retake Kursk.

Would be handy if he’d present some evidence for that, beyond “the Russians are usually slower than this”.

No doubt the intelligence black out helped them, but he appears to think it’s something more.
