I'm reminded of that bit at the end of Blackadder III, just with thousands of people who have never seen a gun trying to work out which end is the dangerous end via YouTube videos. "Congratulations on choosing the Armstrong Whitworth four pounder cannonnette. Please read the instructions carefully and it should give years of trouble free maiming."

These weapons will likely cause problems in society for years to come The weapons from the Yugoslav wars are still turning up in organised crime and gang violence around Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I agree there should be more of a spotlight on imperialism, and not just when Russia does it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can manage four state budgets on existing reserves, and two years with no gas sales to Europe - at all. This isn’t a man who lost his mind during lockdown, this is the culmination of a plan many years in the making to restore the Russian Empire. We’re so post-modern in the West (or our leaders are) that we cannot conceive of people doing this in the (cliche alert) *21st Century!* it’s our fault, we indulged the weak willed and wooly minded, buying into their BS about a post-force European order. It was then and is now absolute nonsense - as Putin is demonstrating. If the only price we in the west pay to collectively learn that lesson is the fall of Ukraine then we’ve got off very lightly - with apologies to any Ukrainians. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
