I know I am jamming here, but maybe NATO, EU or US can do a deal with Xi? Economic pincer movement. Maybe we can “cancel” Poo Bear?

Will never happen.

Also the irony of cutting a deal with a regime that is currently running concentration camps and has possibly committed genocide.

Some tips on how to avoid doomscrolling at this time of uncertainty

I admit to spending way too much time reading this thread over the last few days, waiting for verified news rather than rumours / speculation is probably healthier.

I think the tweets in that article need posting here every 10 posts or so

Its about 80 quid at current exchange rate. Bargain!

Wonder if Neill is just making this all up to pretend he is a journalist once again?

That's nice of them, I might send my kids over there I'd much rather have the money.

A coup would be epic.

The inevitible movie would prefer this outcome for sure.

They're in Transnistria already though, I wonder if troops will cross into Ukraine from there (granted they're relatively few in number).

Good point. Wonder how many are there.

India and china have carried out successful destructions of satellites using ground based missiles.
Whether or not they are ready for deployment is another question though.

Yes India's was a complete ***********, and nearly damaged it ISS in the process, as they didn't seem to think shrapnel from ****** up satellites occurred.

Gives the PM a proper telling off, really feel for Ukrainians

Tbh, the TSAR Nuke was a single use weapon used just to show the world what the USSR was actually capable of. They certainly don't have that kind of power nowadays.

It was also only that powerful because USSR guidance systems were not that accurate so tp be sure of success they went big

With highly precise tactical nukes, they csn be much lower yield but be much more effective in taking out required assets while reducing radiation and civilian deaths. They are cheap to build and maintain, and more likely to deliver. The TSAR bomb was so big it needed a special plane, that was highly vulnerable. And huge cost to build 1. 100 low yield warheads landing within 1m of the target is a far more powerful weapon

I don't think they'll be handing out foreign currency

blowing up satellites is a bad idea, you're just ask likely to damage or destroy your own satellites as anyone else's by creating a massive debris field

Here's the tweet, argue with him if you dare.

His sources are the same sources that said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

Imo journalism is dead. Places like Reddit, Telegram etc is where the real news is found as it comes straight from the peoples mouth.

Quite a few countries have demonstrated shooting down satellites over the last few years so India probably wanted to join in without realising not to actually detonate them while they are too high in orbit

if that's true then the Russian Gov. have just admitted that they've lost over 6150 troops already! They really are getting a seeing too by Ukraine.

Of all the steaming piles posted in this entire thread, this is the smelliest and most hilarious.
