It’s not an excuse to invade another country. To take the first steps and initiate an invasion isn’t right. If the west / NATO / EU hadn’t entertain the notion of the Ukraine joining their ranks, I don’t believe Russia would have invaded. The relatively peaceful situation would have continued. As it is, a war has now started. Who knows where it will end?

Your description of the missile fits my experience. Such a lightweight structure wouldn’t penetrate tarmac surface and the packed stone bed to such depth without sustaining distortion, damage or complete destruction. The images on BBC looked like display exhibits mounted in the ground. I have a Ukrainian friend who I run with. She was telling me yesterday that her family think Zelensky is a showman clown and that Russia is reacting to the West (NATO / EU) expanding right up to their border. A bit like America would react if say Mexico decided to rely on Russia for its defences and allowed them to have a military presence there. Just a thought.

Earlier this week, I saw on the BBC news images of were reported to be Russian missiles that had landed in a town, but not exploded. The missiles were sticking out of the ground at a jaunty angle and appeared to be completely intact. The ground around the impact sites looked neatly manicured with the displaced tarmac neatly stacked to one side. Where the missiles emerged from the ground, it was surrounded by finely graded top soil. It all looked a bit staged to me. I would have expected the missiles to have a lot of energy when they hit the ground. Regardless of whether they exploded, I believe the body would disintegrate or be heavily damaged. The impact site didn’t look right either, it was too tidy and orderly. I think we are being fed Ukrainian propaganda, which is fine for the Ukrainians to attempt, I’d do the same, but I think the BBC should vet stuff more thoroughly before sending it into people’s homes.

Perhaps the Irish could teach the Germans a thing or two and make them less reliant on Russian gas? I’ve heard Ireland has just imported 100 million tonnes of sand from Saudi Arabia and now they are going to drill for their own oil.

Imagine being so short of friends that you need to rely on that line-up I suppose it could be worse for Putin, he could have had Boris Johnson on his Christmas card list.

Whenever I see Liz Truss, it makes me want to go out and ………

My main concern is that in Putin, we have a dying and cancer ridden old man with a gigantic ego suffering humiliation. How will he react? It could be a global catastrophe. As much as it grinds my pipe, the way out of this with minimum loss of life, is to give Putin / Russia a face-saving way to climb down and for him to escape war crimes proceedings. Then assassinate him if the cancer doesn’t eat him first. Rubbing his nose in it (the Liz Truss & Cowardly streak of pi$$ approach), is dangerous.

It can also take a great deal of time to configure an orbit to pass over the area of interest.

The £120 mil of our money has been spent to divert attention from the party situation and the fact that the Prime Minister has misled Parliament. If they can pull off Operation Save Big Dog for £120,000,000 I think that’s cheap. I think they’ll do it too. Credit where it’s due, they can take the public for mugs with astonishing ease and they keep coming back for another punch in the face. It’s quite incredible.

I the real world, £120,000,000 won’t touch the sides. This £120,000,000 is from the Operation Save Big Dog budget. The transportations won’t happen. Just listened to Johnson, it was a speech full of fuckall made by stunt in a £2000 suit.

Just listening to Johnson throwing offal to the wolves. We are definitely going to gorge on this asylum meat and forget about the partying. Job well done.

Another thing. A few months / years down the line l, when we have a large pool of brown men warehoused in Rwanda, what happens when their asylum applications fail? Where do they go? As I’ve said, this crazy policy won’t happen, but if it did we will be constructing a massive problem for the future.

I’d just like to ask people not to get excited / outraged about sending brown coloured dinghy men to Rwanda. It won’t happen, it can’t happen and there is no intention on the government’s part to make it happen. Fat-Arse Patel in incapable of taking a dump without a grown up being present to make sure she doesn’t injure herself. There is no way on Earth she could organise the transportations to Africa. This story has only been resurrected to stop you noticing what a dishonest, cowardly pile of shite & blubber we have as Prime Minister.

unsurprisingly, Johnson and Sunpack have been fined. The great British public will no doubt still support both of them.

I’d say to be careful what you believe. Any competition whether it’s sport, a job application or a war has three elements. Politics, Finance and the actual fight. Ukrainian will be fighting their invaders on a political front as well as on the ground with bullets. An image/ report of civilian suffering and / or casualties is a great political weapon. I’d encourage Ukrainian to use any tactic at their disposal to discredit / drive out their invaders. That doesn’t mean I have to believe everything I see though.
