Ukraine war (WW3)

bosstrabs I get the point, I just mean to what end. They’ll get overwhelmed, they don’t even have missile defences, before you factor in anything else. They need Nato and Nato isn’t coming.

NasserAlazzawi They’ll get overwhelmed

Er, that’s my point about reading the history of Finland and Russia, the Russians absolutely won’t be able to hold on to a resistant Ukraine.

Preserving their own country?

bosstrabs I’ll check it out, I haven’t seen this before.

bosstrabs that’s what I mean - whilst I agree with that, they can’t on their own, looking at the numbers.

Dave and Nas - Two great military minds!

Smallman1 I’d not fare well in a war.

’Who’s bigger and more mental?'…

‘right, fuck it. Run!’

To be fair to me I do have a 2:1 BA (Hons) in Economics & Politics from a Global Top 50 university.

You went to Oxford Brookes.

I will add that if this somehow becomes egg in Putin’s face, it does become exciting to think it could be the end of his political career.

NasserAlazzawi a Colonel Gaddafi type fate would be highly amusing

The air power alone tells you all you need to know.

Jules72 problem is also though if the West doesn’t buy Russian energy then China will…..

China will at a very low price given they will be a monopsony.

NasserAlazzawi Apparently, people who have been close to Putin have said more recently that his mindset has been different than before, he’s changed

Read in one of the papers, possibly the times, that he’s largely been in isolation for fear of Covid.

Insinuations from inside Russia he’s gone a little stir crazy - which we can all identify with.

Just none of us has quite the same heavy metal at our disposal to take it out on other countries, even HG & Scott.

Hopefully one of his own goons will do the deed. If this is the start of him unravelling we may as well all pile in now and get it over and done with

Encouraging to see signs of dissent from inside Russia…

‘In a rare act of public dissent against the war, the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta has announced that its next edition will come out in Russian and Ukrainian languages.
Dmitry Muratov, the Nobel prize-winning editor of the paper, said that “together with our grief we feel shame” about a war that he directly blamed on Vladimir Putin.
“What’s the next step?” he said. “A nuclear salvo?
“We’re going to release this next edition of Novaya Gazeta in two languages because we will never see Ukraine as an enemy or Ukrainian as the language of the enemy.”
He added a call for protests against the war.
“Only an anti-war movement of Russians in my opinion can save life on this planet.” ‘

The Russians often impress me with how articulate and moral they can be, but have they got any quotes that compare to:
“Big Russ fuck up the punani” - Russ Millions, from Tion Wayne & Russ Millions ‘Body’?

NATO have planes in the air all over the Ukrainian border and 2 B-52s are currently tracking east out of RAF Fairford.

Are you going to SIM this LT, we could do with advance warning of what’s going to happen.

A lot of hardware though, reckon you’ll need a few extra joysticks!

Old-Dutch

I live right by RAF Northolt and a shit load of B52s and military choppers were coming in last week

Hursty

Old-Dutch It will be interesting to see what role drones will have in this war, they are getting ever more sophisticated. The BUFFs need plenty of escorts to operate in hostile territory which isn’t ideal, the yanks do have the B2s and the B21 is already in production.

Their bants is somewhat robotic. I believe it’s best to read out all these quotes in the voice of Ivan Drago.

Love the last line though, nothing like making a grand statement
