Re: Is Russia just about to invade Ukraine?
Yeah this is just nonsensical now.
Do you have any proof or is it all from YouTube as global media is conspiring to block it?

Re: Is Russia just about to invade Ukraine?
I'm confused.
I'd automatically assumed that a single person didn't just run the whole shebang. I thought that they had advisors and subject matter experts to help them make the important decisions. Shows how much I know.

Re: Is Russia just about to invade Ukraine?
Proof of what? The Pelosi thing? Is that not common knowledge?
There is plenty of dirt and dirty money on the Biden mafia, FBI/CIA won't do anything now of course and Hunter has just written a book about all the stuff he has been denying, now that he is untouchable. The laptop is still out there. Hunter "doesn't know" if it's his despite him buying it, sending it to a repair place, not bothering to collect it and it being full of all his emails, pictures (including the infamous crack pipe photo), his lawyers demanding its return etc.
Definitely not "Russian disinformation". Nor was it "hacked" as Facebook/Instagram/YouTube would have you believe which is their "reason' why the entire story was buried by the media prior to the election.
I think it's relevant to the story because China and Russia can hardly believe their luck. First COVID, now a weak US president and a weak EU. The time is ripe for a bit of a land grab. I am surprised Taiwan is still relatively autonomous but Ukraine is fucked. Putin will have that, any minute now I should expect.

Normally it would be a popular and confident leader of men. A strong articulate and intelligent person who sits in the driver seat. People do what he wants.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Fri Apr 09, 2021 3:47 pm I'm confused.

Biden does what he's told.

Re: Is Russia just about to invade Ukraine?
I wouldn't be at all surprised if they do- would explain why a good number of my (ex squaddie) eldest boy's old mates have been sent out to Poland and Estonia again " on exercise"

Re: Is Russia just about to invade Ukraine?
In my limited experience (and it was a long time ago), military exercises, especially ones involving going to another country, are planned months in advance. Really big exercises are maybe a couple of years in planning.
I doubt there's any correlation. It would be more likely that exercises in Poland were cancelled because of the sabre rattling.

Re: Is Russia just about to invade Ukraine?
Richard Nixon was certifiably bonkers.
Gerald Ford was famous for falling over.
Ronald Reagan showed early signs of dementia while still in office.
George Bush Sr. threw up over the Japanese Prime minister.
Got any entertaining conspiracy theories about them?

Re: Is Russia just about to invade Ukraine?
You people seem to be able to find conspiracy theories everywhere.
Biden isn't senile because Reagan was a bit old. Uh. Yeah ok. <whatever>

Re: Is Russia just about to invade Ukraine?
I think it's indicative of a problem in the system rather than the man. If you really, really think being elderly and potentially senile is a reason not to elect presidents, then go after that. You need to show more consistency.
Otherwise it seems rather more like excuses for why you don't like Biden.
Even if every president has been mental, Biden still seems waaay less mental than his predecessor.

I'm still bemused why he cares so much as he's UK based.DefTrap wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 9:00 amI think it's indicative of a problem in the system rather than the man.

Re: Is Russia just about to invade Ukraine?
That's a bit insular though innit?
Personally my level of care goes, in order ...
Host country
Mother country
General surrounding geographic
The big global players: US, Russia, China.
But then I'm not super obsessed with either politics or the 'woke' uprising. If I was, maybe my level of care might be reversed.

Re: Is Russia just about to invade Ukraine?
a little yes. But he seems absolutely obsessed with it.. Whereas he doesn't seem nearly as passionate about UK politics... which is where i get confused.DefTrap wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 9:34 amThat's a bit insular though innit?

Re: Is Russia just about to invade Ukraine?
Probably an advantage that his mind goes blank, he wouldn't know what the red button is for.DEADPOOL wrote: ↑Fri Apr 09, 2021 11:42 amThat's not the issue, the real problem is when he is extemporising and his mind goes blank. Plenty of examples of that and his stage management crew are desperate not to allow him the chance to speak his mind. They know it's empty. For a guy with his finger on the nuclear button, that's worrying!

Re: Is Russia just about to invade Ukraine?
Well I am also confused as to why everyone appears to want to discuss DEADPOOL rather than the issues raised.
Nothing Boris is doing currently is affecting the world order (except possibly our relationship with Saudi Arabia). Everything Biden does is and it's not going well for this admin. Russia can see that, the CCP can see that and they will take advantage of these signs of weakness.
It is entirely possible that Russia and the CCP will form an alliance. They already support Iran and if you think one tinpot dictator is running Myanmar without external assistance, then that's not what I call "thinking".
So what is Russia invades Ukraine? Who cares if they are also supporting Irans nuclear weapons ambitions? Taiwan belongs to China anyway. Just let them get on with it, I'm sure the UK will be just fine.
The primary issue is - who exactly is running America? It seem fairly obvious to me it is global corporations and big tech who basically bought their way in via corrupt politicians. Trump was an asshole yes but nowhere near as dangerous or self serving as the current crop who are moving the USA away from democracy towards totalitarianism.
If it can happen there, it can happen here.
