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

[raymondo]

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

Very interesting and disturbing stuff thanks - lots packed into that short video

 

[Nobby]

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.

There’s a filthy smell here now.
You wouldn’t be able to post your crap in Russia
You would be sent to the meat grinder along with the other less intelligent - but plus the more intelligent too
Such a shame you’re not in Russia

I can just see you clinging to Mummy’s clothes

Please don’t let them take me to the front.

PLEASE.

Chicken livered traitor

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.

What Russian money?

 

[SouthSaxon]

What Russian money?

Viktor? Is that you?

Do you think it's time we all sent Cunnilingus to Coventry?

Yep. Sorry. Been trying to do it but it’s the snidey sarcasm when people we know are in grave danger
I’ll try and put the tosser on ignore

It’s gone. I hid down the back of the sofa, I think it was wife number four …. Or is that five. Dimitri, How many wives do I have?

Problem in Hungary is its Putin lite.

Orban controls nearly all media, bans opposition parties and they get zero airtime.... he also bribes rural folks with financial deducements for votes...... he won't go by the ballot box alone imho..... he'll rig and try and cling on regardless.

I think you're right, Putin lite is a good description. Orban also has control of the judiciary IIRC.

Fascinating, wide-ranging interview with Malcolm Nance. It's quite long but well worth your time.

More shenanigans in the Romanian election campaign. Having had their first patsy banned, Russia simply spun up another.

I would like a Russian patsy to be trounced in their elections, but I know it's not as simple as that with all the interference.
Has Musk tweeted his support for the new pro Russian yet?

Well done Romania. Everyone should follow your lead. There should be zero tolerance for Russia's election interference and vast assortment of other belligerence.

He can say that again ! We're now getting defiance.

Fascinating insight - it rings true IMO. Really worth a watch!
