[Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

[birthofanorange]

I’m sorry that you seem utterly convinced that an escalation to nuclear war is inevitable should NATO intervene, but having made that point, which I personally disagree strongly with, could you perhaps leave it at that? You’re making the thread unreadable with your constant “we’re doomed” Private Fraser rhetoric, which is largely doing Putin’s work for him.

I make no apology for feeling the way that I do, but you are correct in that I shouldn't keep going on about it, so for that, I apologise.

The thing that annoys me most about that **** though is that he's meant to be a Judo 6th dan or something like that

As a once martial arts instructor myself, you learn total respect for all people, to avoid confrontation if possible and use
it as a defence as in "self-defence". It just shows you that this fake, macho image is in his own deranged and deluded
mind. He's no more of a judo person than I am the queen of Sheba. He's a flab-bucket.

Reminds me of the video of the ice hockey game where everyone got out of the way so he could score about 8 goals. Hockey player, my arse

The other side of your quote is there is hardly fever pitch enthusiasm for war, I don't hear or see of pro war rallies, as we did in Nazi Germany.

That's because there is no war, remember?

It was posted here earlier. It's like watching Partridge or The Office, I'm cringing with embarrassment for him.

Mind you it was hilarious when he fell over that mat whilst trying to ice skate over it

Putin's plane and other Government planes have taken off from Moscow, heading for the hills.

Is Putin on board ? No one knows.

What is the plan here ? No one knows.

They have left their transponders on. This is meant to be seen.

Not sure he has anywhere to hide. NATO will have war gamed all of his choices.

Interesting, and a lot of speculation. Load of Russian Air force presidential/politicians planes all scrambled and taking off in different directions - alleged Lavrov was half way to China and turned around again, wtf is happening, if anything?

edit: just seen BV already posted before. A day late and a $ short!

Probably passed with the instructor held at gunpoint

I'm willing to bet that Putin will not be travelling anywhere by air at the moment. Once aboard a plane he is cut off from the levers of power and isolated and....it does not take much to bring down a plane.

 

[Washie]

The fact that we know its in the air and where its going, its clear that Putin isn't on it. This was meant to be seen, and is clearly a tactical move.

He is ultra paranoid, he would be hard to assassinate.
I think a disgruntled member of the security staff with a weapon is our only hope.
Everything else will be covered, from cooks, to chamber maids all ultra checked, watched at all times.
Nerve agent would be good end, slow and painful, but that may give him time to exact revenge on the world, so a good old peoples rebellion with him and his entourage dragged into the street and hung from a lamp posts would be best for all concerned.
That would show the west a new future for Russia, one that can overthrow a dictatorship.

All wishful thinking though I fear, he is here for a while longer, until he no longer serves a purpose for those around him..

What purpose is he serving to those around him at the moment - destroying Russia? Is it more to do with those around him being too scared to act, or that they actually believe the propaganda they all push, and that he is the messiah?

Not seen it discussed much on here, but the BBC is reporting survivors emerging from the bombed theatre in Mariupol which was acting as a makeshift bomb shelter, and had the word CHILDREN written in Russian across the front of it.

I really hope it’s a lot of people, as there were apparently between 1,000 and 1,200 holed up in there. Imagine being sat there with your family, your kids, bracing yourself as the sound of the pounding get closer and louder. A genuine, top tier war crime. Brutally sad.

Something is afoot.

Coup or tactical nuke launch planned or psy-ops bluff ?

My guess : Putin is bunkering down as he fears a coup / revolution.

Blinken just said, the US has credible intellignce, he's planning to use chemical weapons, to blame on Ukraine then go in heavier..... any chance he may plan to do that in Moscow?

That is brilliant and that one tweet makes Twitter worthwhile.

That's chilling.

But if that happened and the evidence were ever released that it was a false flag then the whole world would want him finished.
