“And isn’t the long known fact that the extreme left and the facist right are exactly the same people proven so emphatically now”
For sure, both far ends of the spectrum are extremists, unwilling to reason or hear logical arguments, completely set on making the world the way they want it, you seemingly can’t meet these people half. Absolute banes on society.
I hope Putin is bluffing when he says there will be retaliation, but I’m glad Truss is saying what’s she’s saying now. A month or so ago I thought her words could be dangerous, but now realise Putin will do whatever the hell he wants regardless of what some politician in England says, so at least she’s sticking up for what’s right. I’d rather we p*ss putin off by not backing down to him than allowing him to invade any country he wants.
Vlad the rag has few options and is sabre rattling evoking memories of the fabulously successful Russian hussars in Poland in the Napoleonic war. They were big men using impressive lance and sabre work to defeat the french in Poland. Modern battles use metal horses and run on liquified oats.
He is always gabbing at UK rather than the big boys. Any nuke on Kyiv would cut off his oil pipes. He needs the doe desperately.
Just great!!
Vladimir Putin will launch an all-out nuclear war on the West rather than accept defeat in Ukraine, Russia’s chief propagandists have declared, in just the latest chilling threat coming from Moscow.
Margarita Simonyan, editor of state broadcaster RT and one of the Kremlin’s highest-profile mouthpieces, declared on TV last night that the idea of Putin pressing the red button is ‘more probable’ than the idea that he will allow Russia to lose the war.
‘Either we lose in Ukraine,’ she said, ‘or the Third World War starts. I think World War Three is more realistic, knowing us, knowing our leader.
‘The most incredible outcome, that all this will end with a nuclear strike, seems more probable to me than the other course of events.
‘This is to my horror on one hand,’ she told a panel of experts shifting nervously in their seats, ‘but on the other hand, it is what it is. We will go to heaven, while they will simply croak… We’re all going to die someday.’
‘If I hear about Partygate once more with this **** going on…….’
Go and have a word with the Daily Mail that you linked to, it’s their front page that’s still banging on about MPs having a drink.
Talk is cheap
State media parrots
are quoting Kremlin prepared scripts.[ *** I have removed gamble’s speculative projection as I believe more in living fruitfully in the present than tipping up future ups and downs ]
It could be something else far more likely this…

and boring the *rse off gamble locked in the drawer – but still 🎧.It is but which way will the Russian population take it? With alarm or belief
If they believed it would be real alarm then they wouldn’t risk this stuff would they?
Russian state TV is raging about WWIII and an inevitable escalation over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Citizens are being primed to believe that even the worst outcome is a good thing, because those dying for the Motherland will skyrocket to paradise.https://t.co/PzAt9jCBLt pic.twitter.com/DK2mXXWdfe

I believe they will mostly take it with both alarm and some belief. Isis in similar style, quoted their teachings from the Quran which rewarded martyrdom with absolution and redemption and even greater rewards than achievable on their earthly domain, aka virgins waiting in a queue.
The false narrative of being blasted into heaven prepares the Russian people for far lesser sacrifices at the hands of a Nato led aggression as they are led to believe. The war is ratcheting up and they will lose a lot more young men and suffer more severe financial hardships, which comparatively, may seem favourable to being blasted to kingdom come and claiming their Saintdoms.
Maybe but it’s a primitive backward country and people (largely). The adoration of violent authoritarian leaders indicates small underdeveloped brains as it does with the trump/corbyn followers in the west who are also medically retarded
That’s not meant to be offensive to them because people can have blows to the head and operations that were botched
NATO ‘warning’ this war could go on for years.
Not my thoughts, it’s not sustainable in that one way or the other there are too many variables which will cause an action and trigger higher escalation from one side, drawing a similar or more response from the other.
I would say things are very twitchy right now.
Do hope I’m wrong of course!
May I chip in a little support for the small brained
Maybe we could all get together and try a crossword ?
Heavy arms are now to be supplied by U.S. Netherlands France, and a slightly pressurized Germany. The reason given was Russian atrocities, however I believe a little bird within the Kremlin might had something to do with it.
The prospect of a frozen war and containment is looking more than likely.The peasants in the middle ages only worked a 27 hour week and there were far more public holidays. No-one checked them when they went to the loo. They had cheap booze ( beer ) and played a lot of games – outdoor Skittles and wrestling each other and watching rather lewd plays. It weren’t so bad Dad !
The Russian peasants before the revolution were putting in 16 hour days and we’re heavily taxed.
I have always blamed my laziness on the bloody peasants !Okay, it’s the Express but some articles have come true so we can’t rule anything out.
This one is from Ben Wallace and appears the Russians are just about ‘ready to go’, not leave, as in for WW3.One minute this morning the headlines were this war could go on for years. Now ‘another source’, our survival may be just 1-2 weeks!
They just don’t know.
I hope some miracle sorts this out very soon.Southern England will still be in place for at least another three years GSP, and most likely for a thousand, as stated earlier, so it really is party time.
Truss has upped the ante (obviously supported by good Intel) spouting that Russia must remove themselves from the whole of Ukraine. Finland and Sweden want to join the club and hard weaponry is slowly on its way from four nations. Russian troops are proceeding at a rate of 5km a day in the East and at that slow rate because of inefficient supply lines and to bring nourishment for the underfed young bear soldiers.
Donbas was a frozen war for eight years with dug ins and small gains and losses. It looks like the east and south is moving towards that same state of paralysis but with a shorter time scale. The mind games will continue.Not sure about ‘party time’ from where I’m sitting gamble.
Donbas is/was a completely different kettle of fish, and this one now includes NATO and other countries as well.With desires already on territory to the west of Ukraine, this nightmare is not running out of fuel only more talk is fanning the flames.
Yes, we have seen changes in strategy from Russia, but there is an expectation that they themselves will finally class this as a war which will then swell their own numbers of military and allies.
There’s talk our country could be used as an ‘example’ to the rest of Europe and the world of our aid to Ukraine by Russia in the ‘worst possible terms’.
I’m normally quite positive believe it or not, but what I see before me does not look good at all and needs a miracle to sort this out.
No one is backing down, and there’s no hint of compromises now.It’s going the wrong way still and with even more money being pledged to Ukraine from the west will only stiffen the Russian resolve further.
UK is an island and possibly expendable in the geography of global war but that said Putin’s ire is directed at his smallest enemy for a reason. We can’t easily start a land war – Europe could. Europe can stop oil payments which would be anathema to Putin we are just a fly. Remember he congratulated Macron on his second term. There have been generalized threats to U.S., Germany and France but I can’t remember and time he has specifically called them to task as he has Boris Johnson and UK.
I doubt he will be prized out of the whole of Ukraine but he will be much weakened by the long war as a former leading world power and a financial leper to how he stood previously.
Obviously nothing is for certain but while the small brained may accept a trip to Paradise as an honourable end – the Politburo, the FSB and Putin’s lackeys, love their steak and Vodka far too much and their families and the bird down the laundrette to entertain that milarkey.
