Taiwan has placed sanctions against Russia they are the largest semiconductor chip makers in the world which Russia needs for its weapons. A brave bold move considering the possible threat from China .

Ha! We’re on the Wirral and as we were driving to lunch today with my 92 yr old Mother-in-Law she commented on there being more planes going over recently. I joked and said “It’s the Russians; they’re watching us 🤪”. She shrugged and, replied “Ack we saw Hitler off; that Putin he’s a wrong-un too. Still, if they can bomb us after we’ve enjoyed our Toby Carvery that’d be grand as I’ve been looking forward to it all week.” She kills me...🤣🤭
This is so funny. I was speaking to my 80 year old Grandad this morning and apparently he’s emailed the Russian Embassy a few times this week 🤦🏼‍♀️ to be fair he‘s quite eloquent and could put together a good email but he’s basically been asking them if they think all of this is a good idea 😂

Aww Grandad, I’m sure Putin will be having second thoughts now that Derek from Yorkshire has asked him to really think about his actions 😂 my poor Grandma, she said “he always does this!”

Reading this thread is like whiplash btw, one post reads about the potential of offing yourself and the next reads about riding the dishy Ukrainian president…

I think it's best to draw a line on this race and gender stuff. It's not going anywhere good and it'll disrupt this thread.

I’m a lesbian but I genuinely have a little thing for Zelensky and would happily ride the arse off him. A man so handsome and patriotic. It must be the Irish in me to love a man so patriotic. Yes I am pissed but he is sexy.

All these influences pissing me off. Not one bloody person posted anything about it. Actually Kelly Stamps shared something, and she is all the way in the US. Everyone in the UK just going about their day, posting about food, ads, makeup, gifted etc. It feels wrong. My whole day felt so pointless and I couldn't even concentrate on one thing except obsessively reading the news and making sure my friends and family are okay. It infuriates me that they have a platform that can be used to speak up, but all of them are so self involved that they can't see anything but the top of their noses. They get paid outrageous amounts of money FOR WHAT? I'm sorry but I'm just so annoyed! Everyone is so superficial and I feel sick. If it doesn't directly affect their life e.g. Covid restrictions or jabs - they just don't want to know about it. I apologise if it's off topic I had to let this out.

I have just seen the comments above about Zelenskyy. I am always quite sceptical of a politician. Especially one who during his inaugural address said this to his lawmakers:

"I do not want my pictures in your office: the President is not an icon, an idol or a portrait. Hang your kids' photos instead, and look at them each time you are making a decision"

This is his family photo that he hung in his office.

I hope they are all safe. And I can only imagine how proud they would be to see that the world is behind their daddy, and her husband.

He has superman face paint. The photo is from 2019. What a superman he has turned out to be.

If Vlad does feel like taking this nuclear, I wonder if he could possibly do it before Thursday, because I've got 4 costumes to conjure up for my kids for World Book Day and I really can't be arsed.

Has anyone watched GB news?
they reported an a story where 3 Ukranian lorry drivers were spotted by a postman parked at the side of the road - he spoke to them and they were here to collect goods to take back. They said they now cannot get back and have been sleeping in their vehicles. One company offered them parking in a more secure yard, a local cafe has offered them free food for as long as they are here and a hotel asked if they wanted free rooms - I don’t know why but it really touched me - Brits are great - if only politicians and their egos didn’t run the bloody world we would all be better off - the ordinary folks of every country just want to live their lives without all this aggro and constant need for posturing - Well done Durham 🇬🇧❤

I've been thinking and I can't honestly think of any leader that would do what he is doing.

I also don't think I've felt so motivated by a world leader in my life.
Can you imagine Boris and Co staying to fight?!

Boris is the sort of man that would have stolen a child on the Titanic in order to get on the first lifeboats off there
