I think this is hardly a time for jokes, Stephen.
I read the news today oh boy! Page 2,361
Just saw that meeting on the border has started , I don't reckon any of the Ukrainians will touch the free bottles of water, it would probably glow in the dark if they turned the lights off.
So, Pritti Vacant says Ukrainians still have to meet a salary threshold, albeit slightly lowered, to get in.
And there will be no visa waivers, in case Russians sneak in.
Bit late for that love.
Truss has been foreign secretary about 2 weeks and she's already nearly provoked a superpower into starting a nuclear holocaust
Truss is on a full war footing as she now shouts shite instead of saying it purposely . As for Patel she is a rank amateur who was ripped to bits over her lack of grasp of her brief. We either are a haven or we are not, no one wins when we pretend.

Putin wants Ukraine to be fully a part of Russia - he believes it should never have even been allowed to split from Russia when the USSR collapsed
All this shit about them not being allowed in NATO is bollocks
He won't allow an independent Ukraine- end of
He wants it and that's that
The only hope is that he doesn't start cherry picking other ex soviet countries he fancies - or this will go on for years
Exactly.

He can't without war with Nato, as most of them joined in 2004, the very reason he's gone for Ukraine. The trouble with that is, it is probably the hardest of all the ex soviet states to conquer, being a large country with a strong military force. It's why it was thought Russia would never dare try it.

Sweden are usually very cautious and cordial with neighbours so this is a big anti Putin statement. Not protected by Nato either.
It's a pity we didn't let Harry Secombe rule the world when we had the chance.
A forty mile military convoy? That's from here to Brighton. Unbelievable.

One can only hope that it'll be a smoking, shattered ruin soon.
In the first instance it indicates that the Ukrainian air force is not a threat nor is their drone capability of any substance. That is unless they are retaining their ordinance for the inner defence. It could also indicate that the army may be reluctant to do what is being asked of them. In a conscript army with no sense of purpose the strength lies in the obedience of the officer corp, is it being tested ?
Putin is in a corner and he can't get out of it because his heads fell off and he is incapable of being rational. This has to end from those standing behind him and very son as the damage to the Russian state is worsening by the hour.
