So can I still frequent this place now I'm a scooterist rather than a biker? I have noticed 'motorcyclists' ignore me on the road when I give 'em a nod now I'm on a scooter! Nobody ignores me... http://cdn04.cdn.justjared.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/deadpool-scooter/deadpool-rides-his-scooter-in...

And why so many complaints? This particular scenario, it's just bloody obvious that a woman is the sensible choice. Sensitive sexual policy, bordering on advice? Come on. Not in the UK anyway, maybe Scandinavia. The other way around (women advising men on sexual matters) is maybe ok as (some) men t...

I was referring to the conversation we were having, not the situation itself. If I'd used the word 'conversation' instead of 'subject' that would have been clearer. I thought we were having a conversation about the situation? :crazy: But yes, using the correct words in the right order would help. M...

Would Putin invade a NATO country? There are many ways to subvert power in nation states you wish to control. These are most often by nefarious political means (much like Putin would suggest Ukraine became more "westernised" when we installed a friendly leader). plan B. Agreed, Bulgaria t...

It was all about NATO, honestly comrades... Thought you said earlier NATO was "a completely seperate (sic.) subject to the invasion"... I was referring to the conversation we were having, not the situation itself. If I'd used the word 'conversation' instead of 'subject' that would have be...

It was all about NATO, honestly comrades... Thought you said earlier NATO was "a completely seperate (sic.) subject to the invasion"... Again, I asked you in what way you felt NATO didn't take Putin seriously with regards to Ukraine joining NATO . That's a completely seperate subject to R...

Let's not mention that Ukraine has Europe's 3rd largest untapped energy reserves, behind Norway and Russia, which has the potential to not only allow it to be fully independent of Russian energy, but also to become an alternative supplier to the European market, given that the pipeline infrastructu...

... global affairs are being manipulated by the rich+powerful for their own personal benefit ... Looking here, looking there, conspiracies everywhere. This is a common misconception. even though the WEF have proposed this so called "great reset" it is not a conspiracy. Each vast ocean of ...

You said that Putin is carrying on with the invasion despite an offer of assurance that Ukraine will never join NATO. That is simply not true. There were discussions, negotiations etc. but no actual formal agreements. Without knowing the entire content of those negotiations we cannot know if any of...

I think international law is now "whatever I say it is". That's what you'll get from Putin, Ping and Biden. They're all just making stuff up and manipulating the media to bury any dissent from "the party line". Having read your recent comments, I'd have to agree with that :D Fin...

, It wasn't 'informal', there were international representatives present to oversee and witness the negotiations. Why would NATO and Ukraine sign anything that would prevent Ukraine from ever joining without Russia's agreement to pull out of Ukraine in return? If, as you claim, the only reason for ...

I thought it was just a term made up by people who can't find a better argument to object to something I think international law is now "whatever I say it is". That's what you'll get from Putin, Ping and Biden. They're all just making stuff up and manipulating the media to bury any dissen...

The Ukraine NATO veto is not true. Lots of words, no signed agreement. Same with membership of the EU which is effectively the same thing without a treaty. I don't believe Zelensky either or at least I wouldn't take him at his word (niether would Putin). Although he was (?) an actor sponsored by a ...

Again, I asked you in what way you felt NATO didn't take Putin seriously with regards to Ukraine joining NATO . That's a completely seperate subject to Russia invading Ukraine - in his speech attempting to justify the invasion, he made no mention of Ukraine joining NATO. No it is not a separate sub...

I didn't ask you for a solution, I asked you to clarify why you felt NATO didn't take Putin's objections seriously, and whether you felt NATO were being too confrontational or too weak (as not taking him seriously could mean either) regarding his objections to Ukraine joining NATO. I didn't say it ...

. I expected our politicians to come up with something that would not involve plunging Europe into war. Ask yourself what it is they actually did to mitigate the overt threat from a lunatic like Putin. Given that Gemany, by proceeding with Nordstream 2 even after Russia's annexation of Crimea, acti...

Well this has taken a interesting turn. We started off with my suggesting Putin was going to invade another country. Again. Not a single person appears to agree, quite the opposite. Then follows an extended period where I attempt to explain my reasonings which are universally criticised as the rambl...

Thanks for asking. No I think NATO should have taken Putin seriously when he strongly objected to having a potential NATO member on a highly contentious border. I am suggesting "The West" (which includes Germany of course) did little to object to Russia invading the Crimea. As if it never...
