marbles Posted 8 December 2022 Share Posted 8 December 2022 8 hours ago, MPH said: Vladimir Putin has said the threat of a nuclear war was rising, but insisted Russia had not "gone mad" and would not use its nuclear weapons first.The Russian president insisted that his country would only use weapons of mass destruction in response to an attack. sounds like a message to NATO reassuring them and trying to get them to back off Most likely it’s so when there is a small nuke detonated in an isolated region of Russia, he can say “I warned everyone” as he pushes the button. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, which is why the bolded cannot be considered as a course of action in any way whatsoever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkie1999 Posted 14 December 2022 Share Posted 14 December 2022 I don't know why Zelenski doesn't just offer russian troops 50 grand to either switch sides or surrender. 300,000 troops = 15 billion dollars, Western countries would save a fortune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western countries would rather have a Russia stripped of its core army. Also, your tactic would lead to disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox_up_north Posted 14 December 2022 Share Posted 14 December 2022 Just had one of the Ukrainians I support English with in the pub. I'm never moaning about anything again. He got his family out cause he has medical issues that meant he couldn't fight and they were sharing a house with another family, chopping firewood to keep warm, then they just drove to the UK.

Lionator Posted 26 December 2022 Share Posted 26 December 2022 Ukraine bombed a Russian air force base last night which is wild. Kuebla is also talking about a peace summit with the UN secretary general mediating in late February which is the first time Ukraine seem to have seriously discussed this. I could at the very least see an armistice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a Youtube channel I watch, there was a video about some scientist in the States that fell to his death from an hotel window, it pointed out that falling from a window was an ideal assassination murder, no weapon and hard to prove.

However, although unproven and equivocal, the overwhelming consilience of evidence does indicate that the CIA were responsible for the Olsen's death. It's a shame that you used such a channel of such questionable content to present this to those that may not be familiar with the circumstances of his death.

MPH Posted 30 December 2022 Share Posted 30 December 2022 Yeah if you think about it, the Afghan war cost the United stated a trillion dollars and it’s benefits are debatable.,, So far the Ukraine war has cost the United States less than 30 billion and it is crippled, embarrassed and humiliated a long time enemy that was starting to ruffle its feathers and puff its chest out a bit.

I can see the first two things here, but not the third. Surely he knows how that inevitably ends and there's no way it ends with him getting what he wants?

The Afghan war didn't respect reality while supporting Ukraine does. (And Putin was guilty of a failure to respect reality himself) Edited 31 December 2022 by LiberalFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
