Moscow has claimed that Vladimir Putin decided to put Russia's nuclear deterrence forces on high alert following statements from Foreign Secretary Liz Truss.

It is not clear which specific comments from the foreign secretary the Kremlin is referring toŠ Reuters It is not clear which specific comments from the foreign secretary the Kremlin is referring to
According to the Interfax news agency, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a news briefing: "Statements were made by various representatives at various levels on possible altercations or even collisions and clashes between NATO and Russia.

"We believe that such statements are absolutely unacceptable.

"I would not call the authors of these statements by name, although it was the British foreign minister."


this is from the Colleen Rooney play book

It was Rebeckah Vardys account :laugh:

I think things like the "broken down tank" video make much more sense with that in mind. Those guys are quite happy to sit by their out-of-fuel tank in the middle of nowhere and hope that they get the order to withdraw before it's fixed... they'll just want to go home.

Also there's the disconnect of the Middle East being half a world away and easier to disconnect from for us ... this would be like the UK govt. conscripting a load of kids just out of school in the UK, handing them guns, and telling them to invade Ireland, where they may well have friends or extended family. Really such a messy situation.

And I think this is being reflected in a lot of the outcomes of these first battles. The Ukrainians are highly motivated and fighting furiously... and while the Russian troops outnumber & outgun them, their hearts are just not in it.
That's how it's coming across too to be honest. I was worried that Russian soldiers would be terminator type characters. But they are coming across as anything but, I hope that is taken into account by the Ukrainians. 4000 dead is a lot, sorry to go all bleeding heart but you get the impression they don't want to be there and are being sent and killed as 'the enemy' regardless.

[The Kremlin announced that a Russian delegation
had arrived in the Belarusian city of Homel
for talks with Ukrainian officials.
However, while Zelensky said that while said the
Ukraine was ready for peace talks,
he said they would not be taking place in Belarus
- which was a staging ground for Russia troops prior to the invasion.]

That's good, the Swiss freezing Russian assets. Any news about them giving back the Jewish gold stolen by the Nazis, or are they still hanging on to that?

On the subject of foreigners in wars, hasn't anyone heard of the International Brigade? Google how many nationalities were involved in the Battle of Britain. Some Americans, Canadians and Aussies were here fighting for us as soon as WW2 kicked off and a couple of years before the USA joined in. I have no doubt that there are ex-service personnel making their way to Ukraine right now, and some are there already. It happens every time there is a conflict and it always has.

Yeah like I said, call me a cynic but I find it hard to believe that any action that's been taken in Switzerland is political or moral ... it'll purely be money-related.

Regardless, because of how Switzerland works, it's unlikely that it's even a government/federal decision "by the country", sort of the whole point of Switzerland and what they thrive on, is that they don't do things like that.

They are using it
it belongs to them now.
Sadly.

Kizzy 28-02-2022 01:26 PM
And the gold taken from the middle east during conflict, where did that go? In out colonial past where did the treasures from India Africa and Egypt go?

Let's not start pointing fingers whenever we do there's always 3 pointing back at us.
The Swiss like us are doing the right thing now... I guess we will just have to be thankful for that.

My first thought not going to lie was Boris was team Putin. But he isn't .. is he?

Livia 28-02-2022 01:32 PM
So... Poor Jews, we wouldn't let them in during WW2 (not sure how my family got here then) on one thread... Then, it was okay for Switzerland to steal Jews' gold because two wrongs, somehow, in this case, makes a right.

The weight of public opinion influenced our government at the time, in subsequent years there has been a campaign to counter that and it's working so well that even the decendants if refugees subcribe to the propaganda.

It wasn't ok then no I wouldn't suggest it was ... however the thread deals with what the world is doing now.
