Ukraine

Nice comments there, Whistler, which no-one can really disagree or agree with.

Nobody's spoken yet to those who's hard-earned tax dollars are ultimately funding Biden's billions of dollars of "lethal aid".

[Kenr6583]

I wish they could do more.

Remember that when Biden pulled out of Afghanistan that $50 Billion became available to spend. Giving to Ukraine is cheap

Whatever. Two completely different situations. Never should have been there that long in the first place.

If Russia had made quick work of Ukraine, Finland and Sweden would have been next.

That was $50 Billion every YEAR not for the whole deal in Afghanistan So what Biden is spending on the Ukraine is cheap cheap cheap especially when he is fighting Russia. No American lives at stake and the price well what can one say

But they didn't so enjoy the pointless speculation.

There was an interesting interview with thr former Finnish PM on Sky News the other day.

As suggested on the Russia thread, "...to the last drop of Ukrainian blood."

Jacob Rees-Mogg, he's so full of it. Keeps his gob shut about his Russian investment interests (like the Chancellor and his wife's dividends from Infosys). This is why the Conservatives need to go.

Jacob Rees-Mogg's firm seeks to ditch Russian investments

An investment firm founded and part-owned by cabinet minister Jacob Rees-Mogg has promised to ditch its shareholdings in Russian companies.
Mr Rees-Mogg holds a significant stake in Somerset Asset Management but does not take part in its decisions because he is a government minister.
The hedge fund had stakes in four firms operating in Russia, according to accounts filed in December.
It has ditched one of those and is in the process of exiting the others.

your comment is nonsense in my opinion. Russia would never go after Sweden and Finland. Claims about Nato is well overstated.

I am surprised by the worlds support (or maybe its just worlds media support?) of Ukraine (a country with a questionable history anyway ).

The time frame is relevant here, no? Russian expansion into Ukraine began over 8 years ago. The current "invasion" only began a month ago.

Maybe another 8 or 10 years before Putin turns on Finland? If he's still alive?

Anyway, shouldn't this be posted in the "Russia" thread?

What? At the beginning of the war Putin threatened both Finland and Sweden. So it’s not my nonsense.

With the Ukraine putting up such a strong fight, no matter the outcome, it’s going to make Putin think twice before he decides to invade another country.

Pretty clear I would have thought - this was reported on numerous sites early in March.

I standby my claim of an invasion of Sweden / Finland being nonsense. (Of course I'm not referring to Ken as being nonsensical in any way).

Despite Russia 'warning' them, big difference from invading them.

In response to Mr Tamada's protest of this belonging to the Russia thread (wherever that my be) can a member of the moderation team, with the required access please do the needful and tidy up my little mess.

I bid you all a good day.

You mean the thread where you’re bringing up and discussing Trump’s impeachment?

If you're talking about the thread where someone other than me brought up Trump by quoting MSM's notion that the former president was somehow "disgraced" whereupon I simply suggested (after correction) that a double impeachment WITHOUT a guilty finding or sentencing or a resignation is never a win then yes, that's the Russia thread.

Then don’t tell me what thread I should be posting on.

Maybe you should study the post attribution? That's the author of the post that I directly responded to?

It's not always about you (and Lord knows how many times some fellow members have reminded me of that).
