Quite passive actually, I’m hoping they hang him from a lamppost by his ankles screaming and give him a jolly old halal send off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to neutralise this threat for once an for all. Maybe Reagan had something with his star wars plan. Actually no. Because then it becomes feasible to win a nuclear war. It would have the opposite effect of what it first appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you start putting in some other search terms from a Russian friendly perspective you start seeing a whole different picture of this war. The Russia situation aside, I'm always puzzled that people continue to use the twitter app, rather than tweetdeck. It is owned by twitter, but gives you the full twitter experience, specifically tweets in real time order, rather than some bloody algorithm. You can add columns for hashtags, searches, lists etc. Go to tweetdeck.com and log in using your twitter credentials. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I guess armaments for the drones) (France 24). That isn't a lot, they carry 4 per sortie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpTheVilla26 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 That Russian clown spewing more rubbish at the United Nations meeting. Are they all really that scared of Putin, that they will just repeat his rehtoric? You can tell all of them are following a script, as everytime one of his cronies speak, they mutter and stutter so much. If you truly believed in something, you'd be able to reel that off without stopping once. Watch the difference when a Ukranian talks, you can see the passion, the belief in what they say. These Russian shills are nothing but puppets to Putin and he would dipose of any of them if they even looked at his ugly face the wrong way. As for Biden... Jesus wept, part of me feels sorry for him as he's basically an old goat and I couldn't imagine my Granddad doing what he is at his age, but then I think he is a puppet to shoe horn Harris into the White House.

Don't worry, it's all in the safe hands of the conservative government. So, er, no. No way near. Another Brexit self inflicted casualty. From being a leader in the Galileo programme with the EU, to spaffing funds on an unsuitable (and at the time, bankrupt) "One Web" US company that had plans for an internet enabling set of satellites that operate at the wrong orbit (LEO instead of MEO - just for @TheAuthority, those TLAs ) for Navigation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we’ll know the truth of it soon enough Starmer and other Labour MPs (and a Tory) did so very effectively today in Parliament. Hope it gets good media coverage (probably a forlorn hope). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
