Biden is not. I'm just going to listen to The Orb until this is all over. Trump said it’s a brilliant move by Putin. He is in favour of the invasion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biden is not. I'm just going to listen to The Orb until this is all over. Trump was in bed with Russia, China and North Korea... I see he has hailed Putin as a "genius" https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/feb/23/trump-putin-genius-russia-ukraine-crisis and claimed that this would not have happened had he been President. I suspect that is because he would have ignored Russia taking control of parts of the Ukraine and would probably have moved to disband NATO at the request of Putin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manxman34 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 The traitorous nature of Brexit is now clearly revealed. Russia has funded and encouraged right wing stooges, money launderers and other criminals to weaken Europe and spout his disinformation - Farage is still at it today, blaming NATO for Russian murder and aggression in a sovereign state, The Conservative party and its fellow travellers are in hock to Russia, and the UK has been left as a squawking irrelevance as the US and EU take the real decisions, the north of Ireland is destabilised, Scotland is likely to vote itself out of the union, and the economy will nosedive. Divide and conquer wins again. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxanne Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I’ve just caught Volodymyr Zelenskyy's plea to the Russian people. He says (rightly) that it will not be broadcast in Russia but appeals to them to let their fellow citizens know of it. Quite heartbreaking to listen to. Sincere, from the heart and unmistakably emotional. He’s right, the only chance of stopping this is with the people rising up to say no. I hope he succeeds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, they are arresting them almost immediately, as I saw on newsreel from Moscow just now. His security are teaming about everywhere. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quilp Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 It's a difficult situation in the Ukraine, given that around 44-46% speak Russian in the home, in the two areas particularly in dispute, 97% of the population are Russophones. Western media don't seem to be asking them how they feel about it all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
