  1. Trollover must be in a bit of a bind. Does he work for the troll farm owned by Wagner or for the Kremlin?? Oh my days.
  2. One thing for sure - Ukrainian forces will not be targetting Wagner forces when they are doing such a sterling job.
  3. Absolutley. I can see the head of Wagner eyeing up the riches of Russia. He doesn't need to work his butt off in some shithole when he can have what Putin has from the confort of his home turf.
  4. He is as nasty as they come, but he has called out the war in Ukraine as a farce. I can't see him getting very far in his attempt to 'take Moscow' but the point here is that the war has come to Russia, that Kremlin propaganda has been punctured and that Russia is now fighting on a front in it's own country. The Kremlin can't do their usual and raze cities to the ground, killing their own civillians in the process etc. Mind you, they still might. It's a really big headache for Putin and a major distraction. Also, Putin will be very fearfull if a significant proportion of people takes Wagners side. It's great.
  5. This is a great day for Russia. A chance for a re-set. Would not be at all surprised if the people supported Wagner. The danger here is that what happens afterwards.
  6. TASS = ********. TASS is not a recognised source of independant reporting. Russia imprisons anyone who does not report the Kremlin line.....we all know that. Why do you keep quoting them? It's total and utter tosh.
  7. 100% of opposition is threatened, shot, raped or sent to the gulags. Easy peezy when you have guns and no morals.
  8. Comedy is making a 3 day 'special operation' last for more than 2 years and ending up with less than you had in day 2. We are talking Srgnt Bilko levels of comedy coming out of the Kremlin. Sounding more like a yappy dog than a roaring bear these days.
  9. Let's hope they hit their target. Don't want those nasty Putin lovin Russkies to think they can just invade and bomb another country without someone coming back at them. Putin should listen to Zelenski's peace plan (Russians get out of Ukraine) - before he suffers a balcony accident.
  10. I think just about everyone who is not a Putin arse licker supported the fact that Ukraine got rid of it's Russian puppet president and allowed democracy to take place. Zelensky got in because the people elected him. Putin's puppet president got kicked out because he went against the will of the people who wanted to join the EU.
  11. The US would choose an ex childrens presenter and comedian to head up a 'puppet government'..... an obvious choice Merchant lost the plot, thats to say if he had one in the first place. He just buys into the Kremlin propaganda... best he goes live over there if he's so dissillusioned with the West, which he clearly is.
  12. I generlaly vote for something, not against something. Those that advocate getting rid of 'the esablishment but don't spell out the alternative policies are usually bad actors. You fall neatly into that camp.
  13. Conservatives (and the electorate) have been poisoned by UkIP and Brexit. When moderate, the conservatives are not that bad. A mildy swing from left to right and back again is probably the best we can hope for and fairly pragmatic. The nutters who just want to get rid of 'the establishment' are simply looking to create a power vacuum so that their strong men dictator types have a chance to slip in.
  14. The Ukrainians are 'terrorising' Russians in Ukraine,mmmm - I think most sane people would call that defending themselves numpty. You lost the plots ages ago - written off as a useful fool with psychotic tendendies..
  15. What are you on about? Russia invaded Ukraine, they are the agressor. Ukraine has no option other than to defend itself. Russia are on a land grab, plain and simple and Putin is out of control. Stop being a limp headed whimp who gobbles up Kremlin propaganda.
  16. Funny considering that Russia has tried to plunder a whole country. The $300 billion will go some way to rebuilding Ukraine. As for the rest, Putin and his generals and oligarchs will have to sell his palaces and their plush mansions to pay. Looking forward to the Russian kleptocrats being nade poor.
  17. LOL - yes, I keep forgetting that remainers are to blame for the failures of Brexit In all seriousness tho, we are actually and practically stuffed. The die is cast. The latest news from the car parts industry just illustrates how useless Brexit has been. The boss of the unipart says that they are considering moving to the EU or the USA because they are providing subsidies and we are not. But that was one of the main points of Brexiting. Trade with the rest of the world? All amounts to the zero root of fck all. More optics with negligible benefits. Compared to all that has been lost in trade with the EU it's dire. Immigration? - don't even go there. Yes - Brexit has been a huge success....for our competitors. This thread is now pointless. Brexit has achieved what we all knew it would and that is to take GB back 40 years to poor man status (as confirmed by the Bank of England) - we are all poorer and we better accept it.
  18. Gething said the levelling-up fund was “equally dispiriting” for Wales. He continued: Let's face it, Brexit has made us all poorer. It's not going to get better. The damage is done and whatever Brexiteers remain are still in denial, but most have scarpered as we knew they would.
  19. That seems to be the way Russia is going. It's previous international under the table mafia operations are now being enacted in military terms. Rather than 'what is the point of a world without Russia', Putin's logic seems to be 'what is the point of a world that isn't Russia'.
  20. A bit like 'Russia invaded Ukraine' you mean. You trolls are getting quite boring. Can't you spice things up a bit?
  21. If he can't take down a childrens comedian/presenter in three days what does say about Putin? He will be forever remembered for failing to defeat a smaller army led by 'a clown'. Not a good look for Russia. A great look for Ukraine.
  22. I hear his approach was to 'celebrate' Russian's behaviour in Bucha, pronouncing that this is what Russians do, kill civilians, rape and torture; 'this is who we are!', we should be feared. Can't think of a nicer guy to get a taste of his own medicin.
  23. Anyone can be part of this civilised world. All you have to do is be a good global citizen and assert your position through hard work and economic success. Russia perfers to do this through invasion, imperial expansion and killing it's neighbours. Not really the way to do this in the 21st century. My take is Russia is spent, soon to be brough to heel and a puppet of China. Hope you know your Mandarin
  24. The 'let trade links bind us and make us friends experiment' has failed. It was a strategy that the West employed with both profit and geopolitical stability in mind, especially after the collapse of the USSR. It just did not work. The old dictator mentality and adversities reared their ugly head and whatever money China and Russia made was recycled in part with their old mentality of imperialism in mind. I think that strategy is done now and what we will see moving forward is a gradual unravelling and decoupling. Only the sectors that don't pose a threat will be allowed to be outsourced to unfriendlies. China and Russia can expect no help in advancing them fron the West. They will have to rely on stealing IP which they did anyway, but that was in a more open environment. Now it will be much harder as 'they have been clocked'
