How about the rest of the world has earth and putin and his fellow country men can head off to Venus

Anyone driving around Irish, British or European roads with a Russian flag should have a brick fcuked through their window by anyone that can lay their hands on one. No better than the raping pedophiles they call an army.

Ahh FFS

I am not fine with Russians killing women, kids, the old or raping women and girls.

My point, which you completely failed to notice, is if it was possible for Russia to be bombed or even invaded, I would have no problem with the Ukrainians leveling their towns and cities.

And if civilians died then tough shyte.

Tough luck, they are part of a country that has brought war and destruction to others and you can't not be attacking them because some of them might not be in favour of the war or the regime in charge.

I went looking a little bit anyway and found this. Not related to Ukraine but concerning a Russian ally.

Media and military experts said Sunday that six Chinese Air Force Y-20 transport planes landed at Belgrade's civilian airport early Saturday, reportedly carrying HQ-22 surface-to-air missile systems for the Serbian military.

The Chinese cargo planes with military markings were pictured at Belgrade's Nikola Tesla airport. Serbia's defense ministry did not immediately respond to AP’s request for comment.

The arms delivery over the territory of at least two NATO member states, Turkey and Bulgaria, was seen by experts as a demonstration of China’s growing global reach.

“The Y-20s’ appearance raised eyebrows because they flew en masse as opposed to a series of single-aircraft flights,” wrote The Warzone online magazine. “The Y-20′s presence in Europe in any numbers is also still a fairly new development.”

Of course we all know how worried you are for the Russians 🙄

You can't defeat a country without killing people.

FFS I didn't know there were so many devout followers of Christ around here with the love of turning the other cheek.

As I keep saying you can't defeat an enemy if you aren't willing to kill the enemy.

And don't give me this shyte that the enemy is Putin.

Ukrainians have to consider every Russian to be their enemy, just like British, French, indeed Russians themselves had to consider every German to be their enemy in WW2.

There is a fooking reason Putin has done this and it is precisely because he sees the West as weak because the way a huge chunk of people are not willing to countenance hard actions.

No NATO country needs to put boots on the ground and those that are would be in insignificant numbers, mainly an advisory and maintenance role well away from the front line. They don't even need to be there officially.

If 50 installations of SAM and long range laser guided missiles were deployed along with 20 or so high end drones, this war would be over in a fortnight. The French have very capable equipment, as do the British and Americans. You can forget about the Germans. They'd just a bunch of self interested dickheads who will protect their own interests regardless of the cost to others. Sweden, Finland, Poland all have very capable weapons right on the border at this very moment.

Obnoxious tramps wherever they go really

‘I’m stupid’, says Russian karting champ teenager after apparent Nazi salute on podium

The way the Swiss guaranteed their "neutrality" or rather freedom was by doing deals with the likes of the Nazis.

I put neutrality in quotes because they weren't really that neutral when they were facilitating the German war machine with critical supplies.

And that is not even mentioning buying gold from the German Reichsbank, facilitating the Nazis hiding their loot, blocking refugees entry, not backing Jewish citizens in German occupied countries, allowing train transports to go between Italy and Germany, allowing Swiss company subsidaries to use over 10,000 slave labourers.

The Swiss have a habit of playing both sides in their version of neutrality, and invariably make a lot of money out of it.

After all right now where is it again that Putin's family are hiding out, where does a huge chunk of his loot go through ?

Probably meant Manchuria and the islands they lost to China.

The French are confused as to why Ukraine hasn't already surrendered yet, their contribution to military aid has been non-existent. I don't think Ukraine can't count on any further support from them.

I'm surprised this hasn't clicked with Germany and the rest yet. They seem to think that if the gas and oil pipeline is switched off, it can 'never' be switched back on again. But as you say, such a move would almost certainly leave Putin in huge trouble and in imminent risk of being toppled from within.

I mean... it's also entirely possible that other nations step in and sign deals with Russia for future gas and oil supplies at significant discounts.

So now you have India/China getting vastly cheaper gas and oil and rare earth metals and everything else Russia is exporting; whilst Europe spirals into recession without the gas and oil to power its largest industries and without the ability to move manufacturing away from China.

And meanwhile Russia is able to continue in Ukraine whilst a weakened Europe is less able and less willing to support its defence; and perhaps even more crucially becomes less able and willing to support its refugees.
