They usually have a big show then though marching troops and tanks. Like the Koreans did with the cardboard cutouts. I’ve seen nothing like that in the build up. The last time Russia warned us one of our allies were nazis we didn’t listen and it bit is in the a**e. Twice
Over here neither, Keith. As long as you're certified as condemned! :~[No road tax here in France
Not seen the satellite photo's of the Russian troop convoys? When exactly were Germans out allies?
No I’ve not but I mean televised parades more than spy satellites. I saw something little while back showed satellite images of snow that had melted to reveal quite an arsenal of military vehicles. Then they were gone just muddy tracks left. Germany must have been allied with us in some way before WW1 they fought with us in the American revolutions? Not that I believe Putin if they were really nazis surely they’d be taking the Crimean back rather than being invaded
There are French people, which is probably more taxing than VED thoughNo road tax here in France
The thing about Ukraine and Nazism has just enough truth to make it a believable pretext for the current nonsense if you don't subject it to any real scrutiny.
There are certainly parallels to be drawn at the moment, which is rare (particularly given the number of people who try to draw parallels with all sorts of other leaders).
Both paranoid megalomaniacs.
Putin seems to have totally lost the plot. He was a shrewd and effective political operator who, even if you disliked or disagreed with him, I think one had to respect. Now he's acting irrationally and in a way that may very well return Russia to the early 90s: a largely irrelevant power internationally which was struggling to build a functional economy. In a sense it's sad for Russia, and I feel for the Russian people. But I feel for the Ukrainians more.
I used to have some sympathy for Putin, the Yanks via NATO have been needling him for some time, but invading Ukraine is a step too far. The trouble is, he is not capable of backing down, to do so would be the end of him, so he is now desperate and desperate men do desperate things. There is a very good chance he will hit the nuclear button, then we are all toast.
I totally agree, I had some sympathy and (much as I thought it very wrong to say it, as Biden did) didn't disagree with the view that if Russia went into only the Donbas and Luhansk (which had been occupied by Russian soldiers pretending to be locals since 2014) a military response from NATO would have been unwarranted.
Any military response from the west will result in a nuclear holocaust, Putin has nothing to lose, he's supposedly a sick man.
Hopefully one of his bodyguards will put us out of his misery.
We can but live in hopeHopefully one of his bodyguards will put us out of his misery.
Personally, I doubt that soldiers on either side would genuinely carry out the order to start a nuclear war. The order has been given, and ignored, before.
it seemed obvious that was the way forward but I'm not putor savy so it's a victory for thought I better get it sorted before I needed it.
Sounds like you're pretty computer savvy today at least!Nothing to the Range Rover today but surprised myself,managed to break the usb ports on the old laptop that I use with the Nanocom and EAS suite so bought another identical model online, arrived today and replaced the hard drive and memory boards and it's back up and running with no loss of data
