There has been a lot of contentious claims about military technology on the thread but there is no arguing the fact that Russians lead the world in illegal torrenting. Putin should put 1080p copies of new releases on Russian council telly to show he's not backing down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taiwan wouldn’t be accepted into NATO, but i do believe that the US has some kind of statutory obligation to defend Taiwan, which essentially gives it NATO protection without the status. Without being picky, that's just the USA defending Taiwan, not all the rest of us. Although if it came to nuclear weapons being lobbed back and forward between China, the USA and Taiwan, "picky" wouldn't really matter, I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 If anyone from GB News is watching, there are loads of things I know nothing about that I'll happily go on telly and talk about for a fee. The history of the railroads of Belgium? Don't know a thing about it but I'll happily go on a bit. Croatia-Brazilian relations? Not a clue, I reckon I could drag an hour or two out for you. The best method for changing tyres on a Robin Reliant? Never done it, no idea about anything to do with it. Don't even know what one is.

Detournement Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Oliver's point about media coverage was spot on. There has been loads of fake news and ridiculous memeable content on MSM channels and very little information about the locations of fronts and actual fighting. Constantly parroting Ukranian defence ministry casualty figures isn't very credible either. There is the actual war then a TV war which is obviously crafted with the hope that western populations don't get too pissed off about the economic impacts which are coming later this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 53 minutes ago, Lofarl said: So this big old tank column. Why is it not a smouldering pile of wreckage like the road to Basra? Is it a psy op thing to let the Russians know and even the troops in the tanks know that they could be wiped out soon. Its hardly likely that the Ukrainians will just let them trundle on down to Kiev. The batteries have run out on the drones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best Ukraine can probably do at this point is hold out a bit longer so that Russia can maybe be a bit more lenient in what they're asking for but this would be at the expense of thousands of lives in the meantime. Horrible situation for everyone involved. Russia may feel their hand was forced into this with the whole NATO expansion on their borders thing but the innocent lives being lost is a tragedy for both Russians and Ukranians. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
