Gonzo79 13,349 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I'd have expected the Ukranians to have put up more of a fight. Does Putin intend to annex all of Ukraine? If so, is that it or is there more? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely not possible. Ukraine has ~40 million people I think. Many of them are hostile to Russia. I can only guess what he thinks he can achieve. I would imagine that any occupation would cost too much overall. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has certainly escalated quickly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 5,952 Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 As my father to say once you go into battle the truth will never be reported. If reports were true then the Ukrainians have inflicted terrible damage to Russia over a 1000 dead and aircraft and tanks blown to hell . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 13,349 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 No wonder Putin fancies a spot of warmongering... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/02/24/britains-spies-told-check-white-privilege-stop-saying-manpower/ "Britain's spies told to check their 'white privilege' and stop saying 'manpower' Leaked dossier called 'Mission Critical' asks spies to avoid words that 'reinforce dominant cultural patterns'". 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

compo 5,952 Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 I love this fighting talk about how they will defend their country all this brave talk , but if you watched last night's news there were huge numbers of males pouring over the border into Poland. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,687 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Poland opening its borders to all Ukrainians while turning back Iraqi's from Belarus has got leftists so triggered that an epidemic of apoplexy has broken out in Islington. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
