Russia invade Ukraine 14:17 - Dec 23 with 147717 viewsFlynnidine_Zidownes

Discuss.

Also why is Putin always described in the media as this rugged strongman? He’s barely five foot tall with his high heels on.

But that’s another debate.

What happens next Keith? Would we be seen as aggressors if we put one of our carriers out in the Black sea. In this game of chess we need to get the Other on Alert in the North sea on exercise. Similarly the French can utilise their fleet in an exercise capacity.
The Russian public are not behind this and 20 years has made Putin think he is invincible. The new generation of Ruskis has enjoyed the modern world and maybe they are the key that will unlock the madness.


Maybe they should flood the streets of every Russian city and protest .They cant kill all of the demonstrators .
Maybe Corbin Abbott etc could reason with Putin .
Putin wants to go back to the USSR days

Russia has massive financial interests and ties with Cyprus. The Cypriots need Russia to prevent any further Turkish incursions. Russia will soon be Locke into conflict with Turkey when the Turks attempt to close off the Black Sea. Greece and Cyprus will also get dragged into this.


Things change fast, now the horror of war is hitting home, initially I reckon Turkey would have been told don't close the Bosphorus otherwise things could escalate between NATO and Russia, Turkey being in NATO the game up to this point seems to be let Russia do what it is going to do to Ukraine let it play out and hope that is the end of it.

Thankfully we hardly touch Russian gas . Europe could be in a bit of a fix if the Russians decide to turn it off though.


Germany and Italy totally dependent on one source of fuel from a country outside of their influence, you wonder about the bad strategic decisions that have been made there and elsewhere.

Seems that way. It'll be the long game by the looks of it.

Germany's decision to shut down most of its nuclear reactors in order to depend upon Russian energy sources is looking increasingly idiotic. Their reaction to the invasion has been half hearted at best.

The start of Covid showed the errors behind global supply chains, be it for energy or for goods. The UK Govt has to take steps to become as self sufficient in as many critical areas as possible.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

We did too. I was banging the same drum as you after Brexit. We need to grow more of our own food, be capable of making and supplying much more of our own goods.

Relying on Russia and China so much has made them feel strong and made us weak in too many areas.

Absolutely. Or at least, have the capacity to do so if needed.

We need to secure our own energy supplies as much as possible. Be that nuclear, renewable or whatever. After that comes food and steel. Forming/Maintaining good working relationships with India and Africa as a potential manufacturing base would also work.

The Chinese have already worked out that they won't be the sweatshop of the World forever, just as the UK wasn't the longer the Industrial Revolution went on. They've already made huge inroads into securing their own outsourcing.

I was thinking, we need a hardcore leader.

From what I have read, Putin knows Nato can take him out, but uses the Nuclear threat.. Well somebody wants to say, we will nuke you

Personally I don't mind, otherwise do what you want, just because you can use a nuke..

Hopefully high level diplomacy will be done, but fck this ratbag nuke threating..

It needs someone with balls to say right , I don't give a hoot about your nukes, you will get them back to Russia, and fck off out of the Ukraine, you have a day to withdraw otherwise it's goodnight irene you short assed tw*t.

Agree about loads of the points you make, the last few years have shown that we need to be self sufficient in certain areas. The concern I have is that we have had a succession of governments who either don't want to make the big calls and invest or want to leave it to “market forces” which isn’t good enough. Security of energy supply is crucial and our 2 new nuclear power stations are owned by the French and Chinese!
Was talking to someone over the last week about solar and the poor feed in tariffs paid to the public for generating electric and putting it back in to the grid. I was stunned to hear tariffs were being kept low because the national grid would struggle to cope! I was told the NG needed investment, but National Grid didn’t want to at pay for the work, neither did HMG and neither do the local power distribution companies! With the dive towards electric cars etc, we need to be able to generate and deliver far more electricity and it seems there’s no appetite to improve the infrastructure. It’s madness.

It's not just Governments. People are addicted to cheap shit made abroad. If a UK manufactured iPhone cost twice as much as one produced in a Shenzhen hellhole then most people would plump for the latter. Including me if I'm being honest.

There needs to be a seismic shift in attitudes in the West.

Also out of all our recent leaders I think Boris is probably bonkers enough to go further than most. He’s always fancied himself as a latter day Churchill. Being a war leader might suit him better than standing at a podium telling people to wash their hands day after day. Or his brinkmanship might bring humanity ever closer to mutually assured destruction. Who knows? Fun times ahead…

The Chinese have developed a system to rival SWIFT, if Russia is able to access to access it and trade then removal from SWIFT may not deliver the intended results.
A collapse in the value of the rouble will make everything the Russians purchase much more expensive, but the big earner is the income from gas.
Let’s hope a swift peaceful resolution can be salvaged from this terrible situation.
