I think he'll send Lavrov. It's a shame the ICC didn't issue warrants for ALL of Putin's cronies too: Lavrov, Medvedev.... let them all rot in Russia.
I think they should issue arrest warrants when they're actually in ICC countries.

Wait until they’re there then do it. Boom.

Not all the while they donate to the Conservative party
I hear this a lot on NSC, According to these articles Russian donations totalled £2m ish in the 3 years Johnson was leader.while annual income is £41m (don’t know what it was then). Doesn’t seem that significant a percentage.



Labour Party total income was 50 % higher than that of the Tories which was quite a surprise given received wisdom.

Retired Air Vice-Marshal Sean Bell talks about the significance of nukes in Belarus.

'Russia can still launch nukes from air, land or sea, so forward deployment of nukes in Belarus is militarily irrelevant.
'Actually, the bigger worry here is for Belarus'.

Totalitarian, police state in action. Beggars belief.

In Prague’s Jewish museums last month we saw sweet sketches by kids imprisoned in the city’s ghetto by the Nazis. Possibly unknowing of their fate to being murdered in concentration camps. Drawings on scraps of paper of pre invasion happy times, meadows, flowers.

The similarities are obvious.

Further reason why Ukraine should be liberated.

The war winning strategy would be to use the Bradleys, Leopards and Challengers etc. to punch through to liberate Crimea.

Once Crimea falls, Putin is deposed ( or flees Russia ).

I hope this is achievable.

Will be interesting to see if Ukraine focus the new hardware in one area of the front, Crimea as you say, Melitopol maybe. They could decide to start at Bakhmut even?

The widespread assumption is, they try break through south, via Melitopol, get to the Sea of Azov, blow the Kerch Bridge with long range missiles, force mass surrender of all Russians trapped in to the west of the cut off supply line

Something tells me, the twitter know alls will be surprised when this obvious attacking strategy turns out to not be the one the Ukranians rely on initially.

Oh dear, what a pity, never mind...


We will defeat everyone, we will kill everyone, we will rob everyone as necessary. Just as we like it

Er, no you won't, you arsehole. :thumbsup:
Lovely to read that the bomb was hidden inside the statue he was presented with 👍. The partisans are very brave. Hopefully Prigozhin and others may receive presentations soon.
