@JohnSimpsonNews@OwenJones84 As things stand, the Russians are struggling to get aircraft into the skies in numbers and their pilots are inadequately trained.
That's why they resort to so much shelling.
They really haven't thought this war thing through.
@afneil That was then and this is now, surely, Johnson was far from being the only one
Few saw this invasion coming, mainly because it's mental, and you can include the Kremlin, the FSB and the oligarchs, in that, currently wondering what the f**k
Putin has gone full tonto
@LBC @toryboypierce @lesiavasylenko The second largest military in the world but in the hands of a complete idiot.
They've already lost, the only question left now is how they lose.
@toryboypierce They're all too busy blaming BREXIT for the invasion of Ukraine.
Apparently, all those who voted leave now have blood on their hands.
Deranged.
@paulwaugh@DPJHodges In recent years, I suspect it's been quite common for Russia to try and woo right wingers.
They used to try and woo the left but pretty soon realised they were all blithering idiots.
@NewStatesman English people will never accept interfering foreigners telling us what we can and cannot do.
The left are desperate for interfering foreigners to tell the English what they can and cannot do because the English always sensibly rejects them at the ballot box.
So tough titties.
@LordWobbly@NewStatesman Fit in or f**k off.
The SNP had their chance and they blew it.
By the way, are the SNP still keen on joining the euro because they never seem to talk about it.
@NewStatesman I didn't vote BREXIT because Putin told me to.
I'm a Little Englander so how would I even know who Putin was.
Even if I did, I'm a xenophobic bigot so would never ever take the advice of a foreigner.
@NewStatesman So the new geopolitical reality is that we have to collaborate much more closely with EU over things like energy
Pity then that EU hardly produces any of its own energy.
An argument to collaborate less with EU and more with someone else.
NATO does defence, EU keeps nose out.
@sommervilletv@MrHarryCole @_k_westcott How does Putin win his war without taking the railways.
He can't sustain a war without them yet by bombing the cities he's bombing important railway junctions that could take months to repair.
All those troops need feeding, all that kit needs fuel and guns need munitions.
@oflynnsocial@w_coales In principal, politics should always be kept out of sport.
Right up until war breaks out then logistically it does become rather tricky.
There is precedent the former Yugoslavia had to pull out of the Euros once their war broke out.
@oflynnsocial We have to deal with the world as it is, not as we would like it to be.
Means sometimes we have to take sides.
The Saudis may be sons of bitches but at least they are our sons of bitches.
Besides, there are three sides to the war in Yemen and one of them is Iran.
@NovaBorg42@MilesSpringer@spectator At least democracies don't wage wars against each other.
The very technology you tweet upon is all the proof you should need that you are wrong.
Democracy is a terrible system is just that all the others are worse.
@spectator@afneil One way or another, he's toast.
Russia has never accepted failure in their leaders.
He could catch Covid, there's a lot of it about, then suffer a bit (allegedly) and the perfect excuse for retirement on health grounds.
@MilesSpringer@spectator Putin is annoyed by our very existence.
Free, democratic and prosperous reminds him every day that Russia fails and it's people like him that are the problem.
@Lions_whiskers@TeodoraMaria777@spectator Whatever Putin's intentions were, they weren't this.
The war has been an unmitigated disaster for Putin.
If he can't take the cities, he can't take the railways and will never sustain his war.
All those troops, all that kit, is useless without supplies of fuel munitions etc.
