code99 Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) Putin, the emerging mass-murderer, and his henchmen, are setting out to obliterate the energy infrastructure of Ukraine to ensure that millions of innocent people will be frozen to death in the coming winter. Putin’s tyrannical regime is following in the deathly footsteps of Stalin, another mass-murderer with a fondness for killing Ukrainians – millions died through the Soviet Union’s induced famine. Incidentally, if Putin decides to cut the gas pipelines from Norway to the UK, he could cause a similar crisis for us, even here on the Isle of Man. Short of running an equivalent of Nuremberg Trials, Moscow’s current imperialist regime should be sanctioned out of existence by the civilised world. But this is not happening (most Russian oligarchs continue to enjoy high-life in the West including sending their sprogs to the KWC). Putin is counting on the West being ‘weak, infiltrated and corruptible’, and confidently expects that Russia, after the Ukraine war is over, to be warmly accepted back into the embrace of the international community without suffering any material punishment. He has very good reasons for being this smug – everywhere from COP27 to the World Cup, you can see how even ’principled’ Westerners are prepared to sacrifice their principles and integrity when they are bedazzled by large amounts of money. As for the UK’s intentions in post-war Ukraine (or what would be left of it) - there are people who are already lining up to help the rebuilding, but also to exploit the same ‘prize’. An early example being Andrew Forrest, one of Australia’s richest men: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-11-18/andrew-forrest-pledges-$744-million-towards/101669894 Edited November 20, 2022 by code99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Yesterdays prisoner swap between Russia and the US is interesting in that many pundits and analysts think the US and in particular Biden is weak. A basketball player who refuses to stand for the US national Anthem for a global so called War Lord of many years on the face of it may not look "balanced", what ever that means in human terms. What it may mean is that other concessions may have been 'agreed' that are not in the public domain and may never come to light. Putin has rowed back a little on his aggressive statements recently about the nuclear option. I wonder if they are somehow connected as in the Cuban missile crisis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully their missiles don’t work… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A globally notorious Russian merchant of death bond villan for a woke bratty American basketball player. I'm still pretty baffled by this exchange. It was far from fair. Especially when you consider that Paul Whelan is still behind bars in Russia for 'spying' although allegedly talks are still ongoing. As you've said, there must be more behind this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Putin has now cancelled his annual year end Q&A with the people of Russia. This has been a regular undertaking which has been used to bolster his image as the Father of the Nation. It's widely believed that the cancellation is due to either (or both) growing public backlash against the Special Military Operation, or his ailing health. There have also been rumours of plans being made for his quick exit if there is an uprising. Like the exodus of high ranking Nazis at the end of WW2, the favoured destinations appear to ironcially be in South America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sound like an interesting person with a few good stories, just glad you didn't say somewhere like Rwanda or Angola. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 The current numbers indicate some 90k Russians killed. This should relate to x3 wounded. But even with a ratio of 1 Ukrainian to 8 Russian losses it's still impossible for Ukraine to win a war of attrition. The other concern is Russia saying it will not use nuclear weapons but then it doesn't need to. The footage shows Ukrainian troops but none with NBC kit that I can see. Whereas Russia will have plenty of persistants and none-persistants to deploy. In training we were told go expect 30% casualties on a strike like the (no wmd found in Iraq - remember that nonsense?) one that killed every living thing in Halabja. As Russia gets ever more desperate who knows...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even I'd draw the line at Angola. Rwanda is a pretty interesting place though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 A sailor just back from a round the world trip and walks into a bar. He sees on the news, the invasion of Ukraine and asks another drinker, “What’s going on?” “Russia are at war with NATO” “How’s it going?” “Russia have lost about 70,000 troops and about 30% of their entire stock of armoured vehicles and aircraft. They’ve lost the majority of the land the gained in the initial days of invasion and have had 1 million men of fighting age leave the country to avoid conscription. They have used most of their stockpile of missiles, lost the Flagship of the Black Sea Fleet to a country without a Navy, are now having to recruit troops from prisons and have now become a pariah state.” “How are NATO doing?” “They haven’t joined yet”. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
