We are tougher than that Wear an headband, a cap sleeve T shirt and shout " I'll give You a war you won't believe, as your entering the Recruiting office, RAMBO!

trastrick Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) The Russians and the Chinese play the long game. The militant Islamists play an even longer game. Everybody laughed when Kruschev said, "We will bury you", and Mao called Taiwan a "noose" for the Imperialists. Germany will be running Europe by 2000? Don't make me larf! The West is preoccupied with telly, celebs, Iphones, Netflix, and J-Lo, Jordan, and Prince Harry's latest.

Dromedary Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Right on queue Macron is using this conflict to again promote an EU army which he has always wanted and for it to be independent of the US and NATO. Part of this is also due to the fact that France is a big maker and supplier of weapons and he wants to encourage other members to buy weapons from France if an EU army goes ahead.

cuttsie Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 The BBC news has just stated that the ordinary Russians do not know what is happening in Ukraine due to all Western media being shut down , So does that mean that computers and mobile phones cannot receive info as well , do not those soldiers who are invading send messages or Ukraine people who have relatives in Russia . I thought the World Wide Web reached every where Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forward planning, in case Trumps gets back to the WH in 2024 (US will exit NATO) and Putin is still in charge to the East. 38 minutes ago, Dromedary said: Part of this is also due to the fact that France is a big maker and supplier of weapons and he wants to encourage other members to buy weapons from France if an EU army goes ahead. So are Germany, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, <...> 17 minutes ago, melthebell said: They've been shutting down sites etc that tell 'fake news'i e stuff they don't like And passed a law earlier today, sentencing any person to 15 years imprisonment if they are convicted of relaying 'fake news' about the Russian Army in the media (mass, social, etc.). "Fake news about the Russian army" being anything that does not accord with the Russian government's version, naturally. No Parliamentary debate, 100% ayes voting. You have to wonder why they bothered having a 'vote'. The democratic world needs to regain the initiative. So ratchet sanctions up every day that Russia is still in Ukraine (not merely stopping attacks) and let Russia get itself to North Korean levels of isolation and deprivation, if it comes to that. Gradual removal of sanctions can be considered if and when Russia has managed to rid itself, durably and verifiably, of Putin and his authoritarian kleptocracy ; has consented to independent observation and auditing of free elections ; has consented to unilateral partial nuclear disarmament (down to NATO levels) ; has undertaken to repair the damage to Ukraine, Syria and Georgia ; has rescinded their UN top table spot & veto.

melthebell Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) Talking about the censorship and vote in Russia, interesting bit in this about the last independent channel in Russia that was just closed down, they walked off set after their final show, saying no to war https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-60617365 And the brainwashing by Russian state propaganda seems to be working https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-60600487 Edited March 4, 2022 by melthebell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
