    Georgia protests are interesting - Russia is losing its grip everywhere.
  • Your take on Blinken in Ukraine 🇺🇦 never occurred to me. I 🇺🇸 thought it was cool 🎸. I have a complete idea of everything going on in Ukraine 🇺🇦. Haters gonna hate.

    II would imagine that it would be an administrative stupidity if the S.A.S. and S.B.S, were not already in Ukraine. Learning all that can be learned and helping out where appropriate.

    Give Ukraine the Russian central bank cash.😊

    The fact there is people that want the Ukrainians to be sad, crying, scared and running is ridiculous. The Ukrainians have the right to mourn how ever they want... why should Ukraine civilians not be allowed to have fun while being killed by Russian missiles.

    For over 100 years The Brits have been telling America they don't understand European politics and I think they may be correct.

    TBF, two S-400 launchers did technically intercept the ATACMS along with the "Grave Stone" phased-array radar, 3 Sukhoi-27 fighters, and possibly a Mig-31 interceptor fighter along with the support warehouse. I would pose that launching the S-400 regiment's fire control radar, amongst other things, is not the best way of intercepting ATACMS but...

    It’s more likely chihuahua position for estonia, not “hawkish”😂
  • Basically we have Nato backed Ukraine hitting Russian rear targets every once in a while with a fraction of the firepower Russia hits Nato backed Ukraine with daily and somehow the odd PR success of a missile getting through is game changing... No it isn't, the Russians have a vastly superior force and firepower advantage and always has the escalatory dominance over the battle.
  • 10 yesterday, 9 a couple of days before that. There are over 50 Pantsir-S1 systems in Crimea alone. That is over 600+ AA missiles in an area less than 1/20th the size of Ukraine. Nothing that flies gets through that...
  • Czech President Petr Pavel spoke in favor of halting hostilities in Ukraine and starting negotiations on the post-war arrangement in an interview with Sky News TV channel. "It is necessary to stop the war and start discussing the future [post-war] order," the president said when asked whether Ukraine should now start negotiations with Russia and stop hostilities. Pavel believes it is "naive" to imagine that Kiev will be able to regain territory taken by Russia in the foreseeable future. "We have to be realistic," he said. The parties to the conflict should reach a compromise in resolving the situation during negotiations after the ceasefire, he noted. "There should be a compromise [worked out], but not without one consent of Ukraine, Russia and the countries that will guarantee this agreement," the president stressed. He noted that NATO cannot deploy soldiers in Ukraine. This would mean a conflict between Russia and the North Atlantic Alliance. "No one in Europe wants this conflict," Pavel said.

    The public school boys drooling over "boots on the ground" should volunteer for the Ukrainian infantry immediately.
