    War situations bring opportunities for the likes of Britain to show case their new products- Falklands for example. But they also being opportunities to access the enemy’s capabilities, something Russia is acutely aware of.

    They have no intention of using the good silver on Ukraine- partly because they want to keep the Ukrainian people on side for when the Nazis have been neutralised.

      What are they saving the good silver for, Poland? Finland? It’s hard to rationalise your argument, since if a superpower wants to project anything with an invasion like this, it’s strength, competence, military effectiveness. There are only downsides to looking weak and ineffective, the idea that they would do so deliberately is silly.

      I’m not sure killing thousands and thousands of Ukrainians to get a handful of Nazis is doing much to get them on Russia’s side, even if people like you weren’t parroting the Kremlin line, that basically all Ukrainians are Nazis.

      it’s not a war. It’s an invasion. Go on tell us why it is justified? Question no. 40 something. Why are you always on here but cannot respond to any debate?

        (supposedly gay man compares imaginary disease to AIDS/HIV-for clicks and attention,its jumped the shark at this point,best ignored)

        1. SOQ

          What is best ignored is a homophobe who seems to think that someone’s sexuality should be mentioned at every opportunity.

          You are clearly not well but that does not excuse your rudeness- nor your bigotry.

            …like most modern people i live in a non binary post sexual identity world,its YoU as usual projecting,all day every day you hide behind the old ‘only gay in the village’ trope as a security blaket,its all garbage and trash every post of yours,utter rubbish.
            Sad Old Queen,who’s desperate and seeking any attention,negative or otherwise,its got nothing do with your sexual identify,i believe your a low intelligence out of work layabout and loudmouth who has ruined the sheet for many out of pure selfishness.
            todays papers,late last nite with attention seeking nonsense,guaranteed to turn away many

        Well can you kindly set the parameters of what you expect and will accept, please? Will you, for instance, accept a response from SOQ that’s packed to the rafters with lies, slander, fabrication and idiotic conjecture?*

        But what Nigel dreams of is a war
        He dose the same to me anti bot
        I think he really needs to take a break from Leo’s department in the news cuttings department
        I would say he is paid to blog tripe
        I only like my tripe deep fried like s escolope of veal cutlet

      Russia has been losing “the good silver” at a rapid rate. Their most modern fighter jets and tanks (not to mention their Black Sea’s flagship most capable ship) are being destroyed, with verifiable visual records, regularly.

    Rumours that Putin plans to send a fleet of JCBs into Ukraine in a bid to save what’s left of his nation’s face remain unconfirmed.

    …If Russia fired seven cruise missiles into Odessa and one destroyed a shopping mall…what happened the other six…none of the news reports seem to be reporting them…

    Putin and his conies have raped and pillaged the own country for years to bankroll their superyachts and lifestyle – every strata of Russia is on the take – corruption is endemic – that’s why the army is totally under equipped and out gunned as the monies intended for the much needed reboot and update identified after the 1st Chechen war war has largely been syphoned off – They also clearly (bar a general mobilization) have ZERO actionable reserve capacity and are increasingly reliant on mercenaries / Syrians / Wagner group Chechens and now Eritreans – their best tanks (the new T-90’s) which are $5mm a pop are getting blown to pieces by $18k imported missiles – they have no timely replacement capacity as the country embraced globalization and is wholly dependent on imported tech. On day 70 something of the 3 day war they have shown themselves to be a poorly trained and appallingly badly led ragbag with compromised coms and no robust resupply lines. As a conventional fighting force they are a poorly serviced Trabant

      I bet the Russian press are saying the same about the west
      All I know people are the same and if you think a Russian father who loves his kids like we do or a Russian husband would be seeking justice even if it meant castrating the culprit
