That might have changed since yesterday given that Russia attacked a Turkish flagged ship in port

A good 20 plus of those missiles were indeed the wunderwaffe hypersonic Kinzhal missiles fired from aircraft

Yes, absolutely. You can't censor opinions in the seat of government

You're entitled to be wrong as is Gullis

I don't agree with you. I've explained why, you don't appear to see the difference but what you appear to want isn't a democracy

That really is a dangerous path to go down. It isn't the speakers job to decide such things, he's there to make sure debates are conducted in an orderly fashion (Yes, yes I know) not to tell MPs what opinions they can and can't hold There are many versions of this quote from various people but I like the Oscar WIlde variant - "“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an ass of yourself.” He needs to be allowed to say it otherwise this isn't a democracy. Now if they had a no heckling rule, that would be a different matter and make perfect sense but the content of the heckle shouldn't be an issue

Its not quite that, the rules you are talking about are usually about refering to other MPs and archaic as those rules are, broadly speaking the correct way for parliamentarians to behave. They need bringing into the modern world but the idea is right I'll also say that Gullis should be allowed to say what he said in the chamber, it's now there for everyone to judge him on his actions. He looks like a total word removed. Punishing him for saying it would be incorrect, the court of public opinion will judge him and it's pretty much a unanimous "what a dickhead."

There's been very little Erdogan talks to Putin recently

I sent that story to my daughter who works for the ASA. Her reply was along the lines of, I might get that case because I did the Fred West Fathers Day promotion one Northern Echo The Harold Shipman one will go exactly the same way. It's a bit of a slam dunk for the ASA

How much of that is still down to the chip shortage?

A Jacques Dutronc Greatest Hits CD All four albums he released in this period and his fifth in 71 and another he released in 75 are all eponymously titled Jacques Dutronc, no numbers nothing all the exact same title The only one of his first 7 albums that didn't have that title was the one he released in 1972, that was called.... 1972 You only need one Dutronc album and this is it

Contract signed for the delivery of a large number of these to Ukraine (paid for by Germany built in UK / Germany by Pearson and FFG Seeing that coming is enough to scare the shit out of any mobik

Not forgetting Owen Patterson And of course Boris Johnson And thats just December 2019 to Nov 21 Plenty more since then

You need to ask yourself why so many people are forming private armies right now. It's not just Wagner, theres Kadyrov and a fair few others even Shiogu has one. Let that sink in, the Russian Defence Minister has formed and is recruiting his own private army (Patriot) and is fighting in the Donbas area too

You've pulled

Are they trying to trigger a civil war now?

And plenty of previously pro-russians will have changed their minds now they've had family members rounded up and pressganged into fighting Russian occupation will not have made many of them love the motherland more

Thats pretty much what they did with the Kherson bridges, took a while but thats what the bridges looked like in the end, confetti

Nah there's months and months of this to go yet. There'll be advances and wins for Ukraine but even with the new tanks the only way it will be over relatively quickly is Russian capitulation I hope that does happen but I can't see it. I along with others here really do think they'll begin to punch a hole southwards to the sea through Melitopol and Mariupol whilst just holding the Donbas front. That will have a number of effects It will split the Russians into two separate fractured groups It will cut the supply lines to those west of the hole and Crimea.Once they've done that or even whilst they are doing that, attempt to properly take out the Kerch Bridge. That cuts off any land supply to Crimea and makes it very hard to supply those troops to the west of the hole That will have a huge negative effect on Russian moral on top of the huge logistics problem of resupplying Crimea It would eventually force the Black Sea fleet back to mainland Russia too Going back to the Kerch Bridge I'm failry dure if they do reach the sea, the bridge is then in HIMARS range and vitually the only way to supply Crimea would be by sea acorss the Kerch Straight because shipping in the Sea of Azov and the near Black Sea would absolutely be in Ukrainian range, the same would also be true of most Crimean airfields Russia may have no option but to abandon Crimea. It may be impossible for them to be there. Many thousands of troops could be isolated. This would be no retreat from Kherson situation I think the core central Donabas area will be the last to be liberated That is just my inner armchair general speaking and it isn't based on any knowledge or information I've read
