I agree. If Putin's ambition is to re-establish the old Soviet empire then he could attack Baltic NATO members. At that point we're all in it. As somebody has already said we're living in scary times.Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Thu Feb 24, 2022 6:53 pmIt’s my main concern. His words have been strong and without care. Probably not true, but right now it doesn’t feel like it would take a lot for this to escalate further.

Re: Russia / Ukraine Watch
Hmm...this couldn't be so they could attack the stored uranium and cause serious devestation but do so under the guise of self sefence, collateral damage or spread disinformation that Ukranians did it? Reckon there's a chance of this.Smendrick Feaselberg wrote: ↑Thu Feb 24, 2022 6:45 pm Russians now in control of Chernobyl. Not great news.

Re: Russia / Ukraine Watch
It's probably just so that they now control all electricity into Kyiv. Aside from Chernobyl, Ukraine was entirely dependant upon Russian gas. This is check-mate.Smendrick Feaselberg wrote: ↑Thu Feb 24, 2022 8:47 pmHmm...this couldn't be because they could attack the stored uranium and cause serious devestation but do so under the guise of self sefence or collateral damage?Smendrick Feaselberg wrote: ↑Thu Feb 24, 2022 6:45 pm Russians now in control of Chernobyl.

Re: Russia / Ukraine Watch
Embarrassing we haven't placed sanctions on Sberbank yet
Russia's largest bank and owned by the state. Sanctioning VTB is just window dressing

Re: Russia / Ukraine Watch
Yep. Our response to this crisis was brilliant up until the point when the actual invasion commenced. The sanctions announced so far are way fewer that what is needed. When it mattered, we pulled our punches.
Germany and Italy have also disappointed.

It's a Lenins fault. He was too liberal in allowing self determination of the nations that made up the USSR

The workers as always will be the ones to pull down a dictator. Just need the Chechyans and Georgians to step it up and RasPutin has a job on his hands.Ronnie Hotdogs wrote: ↑Thu Feb 24, 2022 10:42 pmThis is our only hope.Long slender neck wrote: ↑Thu Feb 24, 2022 10:05 pm Looks like the Russians are out in their streets protesting, good on them!

Re: Russia / Ukraine Watch
I’m not a political person especially on here but it puts all the petty arguments about football in perspective, I can only see this going one way and it ain’t good,it seems like history is repeating itself yet again,will we never learn? This guy won’t think twice about dropping the bomb if it comes to it. He’s a bully plan and simple and the only way to stop bullies is to stand up to them unfortunately but I hope and pray it doesn’t come to that

Champions League final moved to Paris, but Russian teams still allowed to compete in European competitions in neutral countries. Ridiculous.
