This chain of posts started when you replied to somebody quoting a newspaper article reporting that Putin has clearly stated it would be an act of war to institute a no-fly zone, and your response was 'seriously who gives a shit what Putin says'. The dumb idea is not giving a shit what the leader of a nuclear state says, especially when what he says is clearly spelling out what will and won't be considered an act of war. My comment wasn't an idea for a start. Secondly, my original comment was probably more out of anger than anything else having listened to his bullshit rhetoric for the last couple of weeks, while people die. However, what do you want me to say here....sorry for being angry? Sorry that I don't have the solution to this crisis? Panic when a bully verbally lashes out at everyone? What are you expecting when non of us really know what is going on other than people dying for no good reason. Most of us I am sure are horrified with what's going on, to the point that it is now dominating our lives somewhat. We are all commenting through feelings at the information we are consuming regarding this situation and I refuse to act diplomatic all the time at the ramblings of someone who is nothing more than a shit stain on this world. If that bothers you then just block me, it's not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're just chatting. However, I suspect this is probably getting tedious for other posters and not the best use of our Sunday afternoons, so I propose we leave it there for now.

TDR V2 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 So it's now illegal in Russia to call this a War. Sounds like perfectly reasonable behaviour from the tyrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it’s a specialist IFR tanker based on the Airbus A330 platform specifically made for NATO. They ordered 8 of hem, I don’t think they’ve all been delivered yet. They are based in either Cologne or Eindhoven 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close to Ukraine border so could be some sort of Canadian Aid. No idea what they’ve pledged tbh Edit: Actually, no that’s a USAF one, there’s definitely a Canadian one on the ground there, flew in about an hour ago 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean how would Russia (or say the US or China) react to assassination of its leader by another nation? Depends how pissed off they are with him / it all I guess, I have no idea how to gauge the general consensus in Russia as news coming out of there is either being suppressed or deemed untrustworthy, we’ve seen some of the demonstrations but I wouldn’t say they’re widespread enough that there would be an overly positive response to his immediate removal but then, give it another few months of the innumerable sanctions and the general shutting off of Russian commerce and it may be a different story.
