What do you mean by, "its about nationality"?
Are you saying the Ukrainians get first dibs and everyone else should wait? and if you are why is that the right thing?

Because there were huge queues at the border for citizens of some nations, Ukrainians however were being allowed straight through ergo it makes more sense to send them ahead.

It's not saving private ryan, they would not be running up the beaches to be slaughtered.

The might of their freet and airpower would pummel everything for miles first.

Back in reality people thought that about Russia and Ukraine...You realise that Taiwan has an airforce and air defence and anti-shipping missiles and a navy etc.. Amphibious landings are hard, there is a reason why the UK wasn't successfully invaded for centuries despite having some foes with much larger armies at their disposal.
 
Judging by the amount of NATO ISR and AWACS up over Poland something is afoot - not just the normal levels of monitoring they've had going. Couldn't even guess at what though.

Why are their queues? Why are they struggling to process other nations but some how can process all the Ukrainians?
If anything the citizens of other nations would be easier to process because you stick on the plane and send them back to their home country.

Because they are prioritising the Ukrainians.

They're not struggling to process other nations. They're making a decision to keep them in queues so they can get the Ukrainians through first.

It may astonish you to learn that there's not a fleet of planes permanently on standby to take asylum seekers back to their country of origin at the drop of a hat. Each person has to be properly processed as soon as they enter, and that takes time.

Would be interesting if they pushed into Belarus and/or tried to start a revolt there?

Can't see that happening.
 
Truss ratching it up again IMO.

, she insists "we need to go further" by including all Russian banks in the ban from the Swift payment system (see 10:53 GMT post) and reducing dependency on oil and gas from Russia.

"We need to... degrade the Russian economy." Truss says.

"We need to make sure... that the Russian economy is crippled so it is unable to continue to fund Putin and the war machine."

No need to be so explicit Liz

Have you never been to a border? Or an airport for that matter?

No they wouldn't be easier to process - Ukrainians have been permitted to enter and can pretty much go straight through, obviously so can EU and UK and US citizens as they have visa waivers. Citizens of countries would need to be processed.

You're talking about a situation that occurred within just a few days of a war breaking out, the border controls don't instantly just stop, especially not in a time like that!

Did Belarus officially join in yet? they were talking about it, but can't remember if they actually sent in the troops or not.

Not clear, they seemed to have committed to it, I guess there isn't much reporting I've seen of Belarussian losses yet though. Regardless they're hosting Russian troops and their border guards allegedly did take part in the initial invasion so they're a legit target.

Don't try and gaslight me, your posts are there.

you said it was only men being denied in the videos you saw and then dismissed it as people trying to start a race divide based off of "unreliable" social media posts. Which now we know the first part is not true. Ironic considering you are talking about misinformation.
Then you change your position and said it is a handful of reports of racism that exists everywhere. Because that makes it better some how. Calling it a handful of reports while, ignoring that the government of Nigeria had to put out a statement. who is spreading misinformation here?

OK.
