I am watching GB news as it has some breaks between coverage.
Yep.. putin has already said a number of times he's prepared for this and of course he is he's been planning it for so many years. Wouldn't surprise me it's if they do talk it's all part of his planThe uk government seem to be saying and preparing for this to last a long time. Even if the battles are over quickly the fallout will go on and on
And if Putin succeeds and goes after a nato country all hell will break loose. It feels like Putin has just gone mad and doesn't care anymore
Sorry to quote myself! But just to elaborate - there is a UN resolution condemning Russia’s invasion being held tonight (I think?). The US are trying to get as many countries as poss to side with them but the resolution still looks likely to fail. It was originally expected that China would side with Russia, as they will never side with the west. However the US are now hopeful that China will abstain from the vote, and pull away from Russia. It wasn’t a definite though.Sky News reporting it looks like China’s support could be pulled away from Russia hopefully
I agree 100% unfortunately he's gone into this ready to fight. This isn't going to end in a matter of daysI think there is a lot more to come in the up coming days. Not sure about anyone else but my heart literally hurts for these peoplenot stopped watching the news or thinking about them the last 2 days. But I honstley don't think there is any stopping putin, he's been planning this for to long to just stop after 2 days unfortunately.
This! The people in Russia have to remove him for others around him to get the message. Much like the French Revolution or how the tzars were overthrown.Putin really needs to be overthrown by his own people and Parliament. The best we can hope for now is he has over played his hand and this will be the end of him
Yep. Isolate Russia and keep the pressure on until he goes the same way as Ceausescu.Putin really needs to be overthrown by his own people and Parliament. The best we can hope for now is he has over played his hand and this will be the end of him
Yeah I also don't think he ever had any intention of not invading. He just loved all the worlds leaders dancing to his tune and paying him attentionYep.. putin has already said a number of times he's prepared for this and of course he is he's been planning it for so many years. Wouldn't surprise me it's if they do talk it's all part of his plan
That's exactly what's happening.It’s now too dangerous for the BBC to broadcast live from Kyiv.
I know this sounds ridiculous but the way Putin is behaving is a bit like Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones when she burns Kings Landing to the ground. He’s lost the fucking plot.
That was the people of Romania, unfortunately. So that’s why I’m saying it has to come from Russians. But they also need to learn how it went down in Romania. Because overthrowing Putin is one thing but they also need to get rid of everyone who shares his views.Yep. Isolate Russia and keep the pressure on until he goes the same way as Ceausescu.
China have their own version of swift - cips, that's partly why some don't think Russia should be banned from it as it will drive them closer to China by using their systems.China will be worried about finances and SWIFT- it would topple all economies and cause a massive crash
But when they deal with markets and countries that use the swift system they still rely on it. China also went on a trade war with the US not long ago. Multiple big US companies keep working towards moving away from production in China. China supporting Russia could speed this up. China relies on us just as much as we rely on China. They need the money from the west. We can easily switch from production there. More and more brands move form China to begin with. Fast fashion manufacturers could very easily ditch china.China have their own version of swift, that's partly why some don't think Russia should be banned from it as it will drive them closer to China by using their systems.
I don’t really agree with the cost of our nuclear weapon programme, and in an ideal world it would fund much better causes. Unfortunately though we don’t live in an ideal world and I understand why we need to have themWow I’m really clueless when it comes to nuclear stuff. Genuinely thought we had actual defences. It’s so sad to think we live in a world where we need nuclear weapons. I know Corbyn wanted to end our nuclear weapons programme and I can’t decide whether or not it was a good idea but I guess we would seem as less as a threat? Or more of a target….
Thank god we didn't.Wow I’m really clueless when it comes to nuclear stuff. Genuinely thought we had actual defences. It’s so sad to think we live in a world where we need nuclear weapons.
