Ukrainian defenders have blown up several bridges
leading into the capital in an attempt to
slow the Russian advance


Yes it will take 90mins or so to build a temp bridge
that can take tanks.

Europe is in for another dark couple of decades.

The World would be a better place if they did go full Alf.

Even I haven't gone full Alf. I could give you my opinion of what I think is going on here, but I'm never going to, because it sounds so ridiculous that nobody would ever believe or accept it. I'll just continue to drop the odd hint every now and again, hopefully in comedic fashion.

That parallels are quite clear really - there has always been Russians heavily critical of Putin, but also Russians who idolize him, and underpinning it ... it being realistically simply not possible for him to be voted out democratically because the system is designed for that not to happen. In practice there's very little difference between a dictatorship built on fear and a single-party "democracy". I don't see any way out of the latter for the UK.

Come on, Alf, don't kiss my neck and tickle the small of my back, then turn the TV on to watch the footie. You have to tell me now...

Sounds like Russia has taken control of the airport near Kyiv which Ukraine had regained last night, will allow them to start massing forces around the capital

I cant imagine anyone ****ting themselves at the sight of boris coming down the road on his bike.

The only flag wavers supporting Putin's rules are the commie left, and the likes of Dianne abbot.

Just factually inaccurate, unfortunately. There is no left wing coalition with Putin or Russia. The allies of the Kremlin reside pretty much solely on the right. There is absolutely nothing communistic about Putins regime, and Putin even came out a few days ago to criticize Lenin. Sorry.

You don't have to be scared of Boris to at least comprehend that he's implementing Putinesque policies in the UK.

Let's have a look at Tibbs and the RW's favourite news channel and see what's occurring

Projecting this kind of Russian funded propaganda into the homes of Brits is way more nefarious and has way more reach than an organisation who's sole aim is to prevent war.

turkey leader Erdogan on Ukraine crisis

NATO should have taken a more determined step, Turkiye's president said on Friday, as the Russian military intervention in Ukraine unfolds.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan criticized the Western stance on the Russian attack on its neighbor, saying it still gives advices as it has offered "plenty of advice until today".

Speaking to reporters after Friday prayers in Istanbul, the president said: "The European Union, as well as all the other Western conceptions, unfortunately, have not taken a serious and resolute stance at the moment (in Ukraine)."

On Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's remarks that they were left to fight "alone," Erdogan said that the West's advice and failure to show a determined stance "does not comply with friendship or solidarity."

Earlier Friday, Zelenskyy said in a video message shared on social media: "This morning we are defending our state alone ... The world's most powerful forces are watching from afar."

Later in the day, NATO will hold a virtual meeting of heads of state and government of the alliance to discuss consequences of Russia's attack on Ukraine, with the Turkish president set to attend.

"It should not turn to be into a mere array of condemnation, NATO should be more determined," Erdogan said, referring to the NATO summit.

Defying threats of sanctions by the West, Moscow officially recognized Ukraine's regions of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent states earlier this week, followed by the start of a military operation in Ukraine on Thursday.

Tensions started escalating late last year when Ukraine, the US and its allies accused Russia of amassing tens of thousands of troops on the border with Ukraine.

They claimed that Russia was preparing to invade its western neighbor, allegations that were consistently rejected by Moscow.

when even Erdo**** shows his human side, you know even more how evil and rotten Putin is

[bots]

i hope the president gets a chance to escape kyiv because i think his chances of survival are slim otherwise

[Nicky91]

Erdogan making strong and valid points


NATO messed up big time, if they had the evidence like was said many times too, you'd think they go preparing for a invasion, and if you don't know when you don't have time to waste, which is what they did with trying to avoid this invasion with more talks, wasting time

Welcome back btw, shame it took an invasion for you to return

Apparently over a thousand Russian troops have now been killed, pretty staggering in only 36 hours of fighting. Modern warfare is horrific

wow, I wonder how many of them actually supported this mission, just sent to their deaths by a dictator

[bots]

ukraine have been equipped with all the latest american/uk tech so they are going to do damage. The russians may think they have cutting edge equipment but it's not in the same league

[Beso]

Allies of russia lay on the right...apart from the 12 labour mps who signed a letter to NATO that was basically telling g them to do exactly the same as Putin wanted them to do...

But it's the right that's backing his policies...!

Even James O'Brien now conceded this morning the far left and the far right are much of a muchness

favourite news channel

MTVN, Arista, and LT is at least 3, without even looking into the threads, and I'm not aware of any other ideological news service in the UK that has it's own thread.

Unless of course, Arista has made a thread about Morning Star in the meantime

He's been incredibly brave and spoken really well throughout this

Only a few years ago he was just a professional comedian

You on the other hand have posted 28 times in there
