  1. Yes, it has brought us closer to WWIII and to make light of it is irresponsible. I support Ukraine, but i am not stupid. I just wish Russia had not invaded Ukraine. Scary situation and if the present White house administration wins we are in deep trouble.

  2. Without the full support of China ,India ,Mexico and Brazil this invasion of Ukraine would have been over 2 years ago . The question is will Putin accept Mexico’s invite for their presidential inauguration.

  3. The Chechen "Blocking Units" who shoot their own men for retreating are effectively persuading russan troops to move forwards and surrender. Once word gets out that POWs get fed and wartered and (more importantly) are not obliged to take part in any future prisoner exchange the I would expect more troops to seek sanctuary from Putin.

  4. More lies, sounds like they are trying to butter us up to ask for more funding
    The NHS needs funding, the UK infrastructure needs funding, a fair living wages needs funding, can we not focus on our own issues close to home rather than this blatent money laundering of UK taxes.

  5. Everyone knows there will be no ww3, thete will be civil wars erupting all over the western world
    As for the UK most of gen z don't want to fight, the other generations who probablyveould of volunteered to fight for britain, won't now due to being labelled far right, and an enemy of the state, being cast aside for the islamic population.

  6. My guess is the grocery shelves in Russia are about to empty out and with sanctions and Xi out of power no one will sell to Russia and they are digging trenches out in farm fields that they now won’t be able to collect from.
