Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

[Nerusy]

Israel vetoed it, they were scared that if Ukraine quickly fell it would fall into the wrong hands, I’m sure in hindsight knowing the situation now they would have allowed it to be given to Ukraine

Whilst it may have been a public reason but the real reason is that Russia could have retaliated by supplying anti air to Iran/Syria.

Did not expect Putin to go full Trump, but here we are.

 

[CaptainCook]

Its called the 'letter of last resort' it is one of the very first things a new PM does on entering office

I know and one of those possibilities of what the letter says is to not retaliate but put yourself under the control of your nearest ally

? You're missing my whole point - in a world war, the internet wouldn't work. Turn off your home router, or turn off mobile data on your phone. Try load a website - it won't load. This is what will happen to you if you're in a country that's being invaded in a world war.

Internet infrastructure is easily destroyed.

And you're missing my point, with what we've seen of social medias impact on this war, ww2 may well have never even reached world war proportions as Germanys advances would quite possibly have been put to an end before they even turned their attention to Poland for their expansions to turn into a world war

Gonna empty out my fridge and be prepared to get inside it.

it will be your tomb

 

[Firestar_3x]

Indeed.
Out of interest, are any of our tridents at sea currently?
I think 2 of 3 were getting repaired last i heard.

Atleast 1 should be at all times, if it currently is or isn't no-one can tell you, anyone who says they can is talking BS.

Like I said conversation and transparency would help a lot here.

Can't get more transparent than Rubio has been, he is afterall a senate member of the Select Committee on Intelligence so no doubt he is getting a lot of intelligence and I wouldn't be surprised if the stuff he's "leaking" is stuff he's been told he should leak in this new stance from US government where it comes to giving out a hell of a lot more information than they have ever given when it comes to military intel

 

[Rroff]

What happened to open conversation.
For example putin raised his nuclear defence because he received threats from nato.
Nato responded, not by saying no we didn't, but with. What he is doing is unacceptable.
I want to hear them say no we didn't, and also want to see what threats he Recieved.
Like I said conversation and transparency would help a lot here.

We seem to be beyond conversation and no one can trust a thing Putin says any how and after the last few days would be a fool to do so.

Officially 1 should be at sea all the time. The replacement leaves base before the other returns.

Loose lips cost lives!

Indeed, and trips to Turkey to get them sorted might prove unreliable and more expensive if this continues.

they can't freeze any assets in Russia, China etc

 

[jaybee]

People seem to be getting short tempered in here. There's nothing wrong with asking about nukes. Nothing is off the table right now.

 

[Magic_x_uk]

I would like to think all our tridents would now be out of the Faslane area.

I'm also guessing our PM, royal family, government are all being briefed on the possibility of a very quick relocation

I thought it was 2 at sea at all times, 2 at sea, 1 in refit and 1 on rest

Notice how the queen was told not to attend stuff a few days ago.

Assuming she has been moved FAR away from London.

I'm not sure who would want to sell Gold in a time like this.
