quilp Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Just now, ManxTaxPayer said: Take your pick. Thanks. There was some confusion yesterday surrounding that convoy. An early Daily Mail story had it that it was Ukranian. The story didn't stay up for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxTaxPayer Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 As an aside, this link might interest some. The FT has made any Ukraine conflict news non-paywall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quilp Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Dominic Grieve criticising Liz Truss for backing foreigners travelling to Ukraine to fight. Which conflicts with the current British laws making it illegal to do so. Is there a difference between going to Ukraine to fight in a foreign war and a Jihadi leaving for Syria, in this instance?

The Phantom Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 1 hour ago, Shake me up Judy said: There'll certainly be tens of thousands of Polish soldiers and militia more than willing to go and fight for the Ukrainians. They hate Putin (With good cause) and know that they could be next. Plenty of other countries will be joining the fight on the ground too. I know Brits on the ground out there now. Plenty more coming. US, Canada, loads of Europeans. Not just combat. Medical, comms experts etc. The people are mobilising of their own free will. Luckily the governments seem to be catching up.

Mr. Sausages Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Russian state media jumping the gun in the propaganda war. Putin thought he’d have won by now. Edited February 27, 2022 by Mr. Sausages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 1 hour ago, Roxanne said: Ukraine seems to be uniting the people in a way ever been seen before. People are organising themselves - without government intervention. Inspiring isn't it. If they can hold out for a few more days.... The problem is now mobilising and logistics for that many people and incoming against the tide of the refugees outgoing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manxman1980 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 1 hour ago, Roxanne said: Sweden is sending arms and Switzerland is introducing sanctions. Two countries not renowned for getting involved. Of course, this news will only make Putin more angry - and more desperate - what next? And Germany has announced a 100 billion increase in its armed forces budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
