Russia / Ukraine Watch

[Long slender neck]

My first thought was 'the Russians' when that story broke.

Maybe peace in Ukraine isn’t possible . I’ve heard what you’ve all said about Trump but if his plan fails Ukraine and Russia will need to fight this out to the finish . Of course, the danger is Russia ends up with the whole of Ukraine.

Wouldnt it be possible if Putin was dead?

Not to mention numerous cyber attacks, the Salisbury poisonings, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 (which included British causalities), sabotage of undersea cables, the murder of Alexander Litvinenko in London... etc etc

The UK Government has been careful to avoid stating the obvious but, short of armed forces directly engaging each other, the UK and Russia are at war. And the Trump administration is acting in a way that favours an enemy state that has caused harm to and killed British citizens.

I have fact checked this and can confirm it is correct. Your sergeant stripes are in the post. Which theatre would you prefer? Russia or USA?

Yep, it will be a belter. There will be hilarity and quips galore as we accidentally spurt out each others real names, roll down hillsides in bathtubs, and win the second prize in a competition.

Don't forget names going on "ze list" .

And then the policeman (played by pammy) will enter the pub and greet us with a "good moaning."

What would be your weapon of choice. A broomstick or a garden rake ?

A case of wine.

No he won't because I doubt he wouldn't want to hold an Equity card. No card. No job. Anyway its a comedy not a snarkfest.

Vladimir Putin says fighting must end in Ukraine, but adds a ceasefire should lead to "enduring peace and remove underlying causes of this crisis".

That’s a bit rich from the ol’ boy.

[Long slender neck]

Pleading for his own removal?

[Celtient]

I think he's talking about Ukraine, not himself

Or West Russia as failed peacemaker Agent Krasnov likes to call it.

Putin's ambition hasn't changed: he wants Ukraine give up their state and nationhood and just be a docile part of Russia. Nothing else will be acceptable to him.
Zelensky's voice is the only one that is very clear about this.
Guess that's why all those 'important discussions' are excluding him, the democratically elected leader of Ukraine!

Heathrow airport shut down for the day after major fire at nearby substation causes power outage.

[Long slender neck]

You suspect arson then?

[faldO]

Sky News have reported that the SAS are involved. Looking suspicious...

[Dunners]

It's being reported as "unusual and unprecedented". That sort of phrase would only ever be used in a press release if they suspect something.

[Long slender neck]

In this undeclared war, are we doing anything to them?

Aparently they got confused.

Tutting and sighing loudly. It is the British way.
