I'm not liking the hubris - a lot of people, even those in governments, seems to have convinced themselves Russia will just lie down and take it and that they are a spent force and neither are true.

Indeed. I think Russia is now in it for the long haul, no matter what (idiots). They have completely destroyed the infrastructure and everything else. Even if they manage to take it, it will cost trillions to rebuild.

I heard they were looking for cyber peeps (etc) in the forces, so I looked into it, but it still seems like there is an age limit, and I'm 44.

Understandably the world wants to distance itself from anything Russian at the moment, indeed any association is toxic.

The way so many hated on Chinese during the pandemic, the way the decade before that people hated on muslims and now its time to hate on Russians...Understandably ofcourse.

Until we find the next lot to hate.

There is massive coverage of all nationality players over here :confused:

Are you seriously going to pretend that British players don't get more support and coverage than players of other nationalities? Don't be soft.

Sport is nationalistic and political and always has been.

Shock as real refugee people do real normal everyday things rather than sit in a corner constantly thanking them.

My town is flooded with Ukrainian's.
If I go to Lidl all i hear is "Russian" , bad English and lots of Google translate apps out.

Everyone seems outwardly civil and most are small families or mums with kids.

This one thanks her hosts by pinching the husband after a few days ... ;) She's obviously a tattoo lover!

I can see women reading this article and getting edgy if the refugee is a bit TOO friendly, or good looking and thinking how to get them out :)

I’m not sure if you quoted the right person but your post whilst exciteable bore no relevance to mine. I did not recommend hating them any more than your recommending loving them.

Well it looks like Zelensky doesn't believe that, hence him now saying there should be some sort of settlement.

What many people don't understand is the price Ukraine is paying for this, the longer it goes on the longer it suffers.

Probably Stinger missiles. They've not been made in years and many would be approaching the end of their shelf life as well. Raytheon I think it was were looking into restarting production of them, but the components used are long since obsolete, so they need to basically re-desing the missiles.

I‘m surprised that the U.K. hasn’t supplied any Milan anti-tank weapons as that kit must have reached its “best before” date by now.

Still an effective system against IFVs, but it takes three blokes to move it and the operator is very exposed to return fire whilst guiding the missile to the target.

I'm not blaming anyone, at a personal level I couldn't care less, this is the casuality of modern realtionships and parenthood.

I am just saying this is the sort of thing that can happen when you start opening the doors to strangers in a rush of embracing refugees. Let's see how many ever go back, that does concern me.

Sure, there will always be issues with the system and because people like you lap it up as the media will be all over these rare cases. Meanwhile I’m teaching 5 Ukrainian kids who god knows what would have happened to if they hadn’t escaped. They are grateful as hell and as far as I’m concerned if they end up staying, so be it. Thankfully their peers feel the same, so it’s good to see that the next generation are full of compassion, again, despite the crap you’d read on the DM.

So apparently the M777 has a possible modification to (almost) double it's barrel length to give it more range and now wonder if Ukraine is getting these barrels as so far the ones that have been shown don't appear to be longer then standard.

Either that, or the UK stocks went to the Peshmerga along with the Germans’ to use against ISIS.

It's Russia that needs to realize that Ukraine "will not just lie down and take it." As you put it.

I don't know anyone who hated the Chinese during the pandemeic, Chump Trump tried to push that on his moronic simple minded fans though.

I don't hate Russians either, the vast majority of Russians would be appalledif they knew the reat truth.

I do hate the ones who support this war though, don't you?

The next lot? If there is another lot that start indiscriminately killing innocent people and destroying their very existance then yes I will hate those too.

Why would Russia want to agree to this after committing so much, Surely Russia will want to keep what they have taken.
I know the media war is in full effect and people here believe Russia is down to it's last few soldiers but if they were then Zelensky wouldn't be asking for peace.
Click to expand...
Because the war will never end and the Russian state will deteriorate very quickly due to the sanctions.
Sure their central bank and their energy and oil is helping just now but with everyone scrambling to find alternatives that won't last long.

The West will keep Ukrain armed for a long time, the Russians time will be running out, the way they are burning through their missiles and armoured vehicles.

Zelenski is asking for peace because he is trying to save whats left of his country and save the lives of his people, Putin on the other hand doesn't give a **** about anything and will see his men die and citizens suffer just to satisfy his ego.
