I was talking about major geopolitical wars between the 2 great Military Powers (now 3) I think you knew that, but here, in the first major European War since WW2, we are getting awfully close!

Anna B Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 UK is sending another £Billion worth of arms to Ukraine. Can we afford it? Is it a gift or a loan? Are we just prolonging the agony, and how long can we continue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with basic logic understand that our way of life, that includes but it's not limited to freedom of speech, democracy, etc. is now being under defended in Ukraine. If that fails in Ukraine, tomorrow will be Moldavia, Poland, Baltic countries. Or, I can borrow you my book from primary school language lessons "говорите по русски" so we can all start teaching children lovely song about girl named Antoshka digging potatoes .

crookesey Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) What I don’t get is that reportedly two thirds of home based Russians think it to be a fair and just war. Don’t these guys have access to western media, are they really that happy with Putin’s control? Well I don’t believe a word of it, this is old style Soviet style domination at its worst IMHO.
