Russia's unjustifiable war of aggression in Ukraine

10 years ago today MH17 was shot down.

Anybody care to speculate what are the implications for the war if Trump is president next January?

I take a positive from the fact that Trump gave them a huge quantity of javelin missiles when he was last in power. These were instrumental in repelling the initial Russian attack from the North, via Belarus.

When Russia took over Crimea, when Obama was president, Obama sent Ukraine lots of blankets - no arms - scared of antagonising Putin.

Obama was a nice guy, but utterly useless.

Clearing the way for the F 16s
Ukraine took out a £115 million Russian S-300 missile defence system near Mariupol in a prelude to deploying Western-supplied F-16 supersonic fighters in the coming weeks.


Aerial footage shows how six long-range ATACMS missiles with cluster warheads hit and disabled launchers and an associated radar.

Russia had announced that the incoming US-made missiles were downed, but the video reveals the direct hit, a significant blow to Vladimir Putin’s forces.

Ukraine has targeted air defences around the frontline ahead of the expected arrival of F-16s seen as boosting Ukraine’s defences against Russian aggression.

Hopefully Biden empties the stores before leaving office.

I was supposed to be on it! First trip to Vietnam with the lads I grew up with.

I was put onto the next one along, with all the travelling and no wifi, etc, we didn't realise until about two days later.

I know, every year at Christmas when I see all the boys for pints, one of them brings it up, and we tell him to shut the fuck up.

Vietnam was class btw.

Maybe just maybe Milosevic and Co. had some hand in the destruction of Yugoslavia.

Lol...

Hungary: Hey Ukraine, I see you didn't renew that oil pipeline contract. Must've slipped your mind. Could you please start the oil flowing again? I'm faxing you a signed backdated contract renewal now.

Ukraine: New number. Who dis?

Here we have a visual confirmation of attacked earlier ferry in the Kavkaz port. At the beginning, in the orc style they were claiming that this train ferry used to supply fuels to the russian army was packed with tourists heading to Crimea....
