So you know when there's like... a package of bacon in your fridge.
And it's been there a while and it's getting kind of sketchy.
But you don't really want to eat it, but you'll feel bad about throwing it out if it still has a chance of being good.
So you just sort of leave it there. For weeks.
Until eventually it gets so rotten and you don't have to make a decision anymore because, well of course it's gone bad.

If Russia follows through with this, the UK needs to respond in some way. Executing prisoners who surrendered is a war crime.

Missiles that just happen to have been fired from Ukrainian airspace from unidentified aircraft.

 

[Tams]

If they get executed I hope the brits give ukraine their strongest weapons.

We already have. All that's left that is some long range rockets artillery that we don't even have much of ourselves and we're sending some of that.

The rest is either too valuable to give Ukraine or there's no chance they'll pass the training in time.

Well, there's Challenger 2s, but we barely have enough for ourselves, and the war seems to have turned away from tanks being that important.

No, any real further intervention from us would have to be our forces directly. Now, that could also be couched as Ukrainian forces work...

I hope he gets out of the country safe.

I think from them doing it in absentia, and his posts in response, he’s probably already out of the country and wisely not divulging where he is right now.

Right after the warrant he sent this on Telegram (google translated):


“My first corner! I am accused of discrediting the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for a post on Instagram. Article 207.3, part 2. As an aggravating circumstance - the accusation of the President of the Russian Federation of unleashing a war with Ukraine. I am ready to repeat everything that is said there: “Stop the war! Recognize that this is a war against an entire nation and stop it!”

Sorry, but I don't want British troops under Ukrainian command, as much as I admire and respect them. They're British troops and that's not negotiable. The Gurkhas included; they are a full-fledged part of the British Army and not mercenaries. If a British Gurkha were ever tried or worse as a mercenary by any country, I'd advocate said country having it's leadership bombed into oblivion.

That's totally different type of weapon. NLAW with launcher weights 12kg. Kornet rocket alone is 26kg (whole system is 67kg!). That could be compared with Spike, but even then whole Spike system weight 26kg.

Only, there were quite a few good reasons to invade Iraq on top of the of bullshit WMD stuff. Saddam not only had chemical weapons, he'd fucking used them.

Now, enough for an invasion? Likely not, and those who either falsely pushed the WMD stuff, or clung to it were idiots.

Russia had and has precisely zero good reasons. Even for their own gain this was an utterly stupid move (in hindsight, as they will have been the ones snuffing up their own propaganda about how great the Russian armed forces were more than anyone else).

The situation with the captured British soldiers is interesting.

Under any other circumstance, the murder of a nation’s soldiers in direct contravention of Geneva is a very decent casus belli.

Now, that’s not going to happen, but the UK government should be impressing upon its international partners that their murder will be met with retaliation.

That should focus the minds of some nations who are now in full appeasement mode of Putin.

zelenski has been sold to the russian pubblic in a non dissimiliar way from saddam, he is depicted as a nazi puppet of "the west" , oppressor of the russian minorities, bent on the defeat of russia and that apparently allowed "the west" to test chimical weapons in ukraine that would serve in a future attack against russia.

of course it's bullshit, but that's the only version a lot of russian have heard and keep hearing

But you are an idiot if you think Russia winning, which not helping Ukraine would mean, would make wider war less likely. You apparently watch/read the news, yet appear to have missed Putin comparing himself to Peter the fucking Great. You do know what that means if Russia win in Ukraine?

And if Russia win Ukraine, what they would do aside, how do you think the PRC would take that? They'd see the West and democracy as weak and invade Taiwan for sure at some point.

And that's not even touching upon how it's frankly morally right to support Ukraine against having their country invaded, snatched from them, destroyed, and their people brutalised all because of some stupid natuonalism and one psychopath's demented dreams.

Your mistake was in pretending you were one of “us” while viewing and recommending Russian garbage like Telegram. I think you’ll find the lines drawn quite differently.

People would prefer to avoid war where possible but some consequences are not acceptable even if it means greater risks of conflict.

Just because you’d let Putin have his way so long as he lets you live doesn’t mean everyone shares that mindset.

Basing your scale of violence on an international forum around winning "fistfights" pretty much telegraphs sweaterdouche.

The fact of the matter is that in many cultures there is a concept of dignity and shame whose values supercedes life itself. The ability to put your own self at risk in pursuit of a greater vision or goal is a hallmark of success and succesful people.

Losers on the other hand want to risk nothing for others and will do anything to live another second as a loser. Nobody respects them, few if any ever love them, and everyone celebrates their passing.

The way the world works kid (if you’re going to patronise other posters then I’ll do the same thing to you) is that when a nation state commits war atrocities and attempted genocide against an innocent population from another country, the correct and only response to that is punitive warfare. Any other position is either born of cowardice, stupidity, naivety or an allegiance to the aggressor.

also, what would have been a diplomatic solution to the iraq invasion?please saddam step down from power because we ask you to, pretty please?
if this was an option for ukraine, just asking zelinski to hand over the rebel territories and step down in favor of a pro-russia leader and no blood shed, i'm sure you would get an overwhelming majority in favor in russia as well.

I agree with your assessment of Iraq; Saddam was a nasty fucker.

But it's a false equivalence with Russia. Yes, from a Russian perspective it is similar, but that doesn't change that Russia's invasion is morally repugnant and that Ukraine have done nothing to deserve this suffering.
