Oh dear. Let's see how history plays out instead. Let's see who is right.

I sadly cannot say my military service was either glorious or splendid. But I do know what tired and hungry and fatigued and exhausted means. If a war film isn't wall to wall blood and guts then is it really a war film? Sanitized for the general public. My favourite or at least most...

Research Mel Gibson. You will find exactly what type of hero he is.

Do you think Russia wants to go to war with NATO? A full on invasion by NATO and air campaign into Ukraine would have the Russian running to the border or risk utter devastation. If the Russians are doing badly against Ukraine then I don't fancy thier chances. Yes this war must end and yes a...

Zulu. Of course. Anything to show the bravery and glory of the British Empire. The Empire did strike back.

Absolutely wrong. NATO can invade who it likes and when it wants. If the people and security of the Ukrainian people is so vital to NATO then I will ask the question again. Why not intervene in Ukraine and why not go to war with Russia? Perhaps the people of Ukraine is not as important then.

No. The nuclear deterrent thing does need to be rehashed. It cannot be ignored because it's the whole ball game. It's literally everything. But again I will ask again how you intend to defeat Russia? That is the question. I have not advised Ukraine to surrender or cave in. I have advised...

Transformers the Movie from 1986.

Yes and Crimea and Donetsk and Luhansk is proof. They were taken over in 2014. Again why is NATO not defending Ukraine? Why not send in the B-52s? You tell me? Why not? Send in the whole NATO army. But that isn't happening, why not?

NATO could probably clean out the Russians in Ukraine in lickety split time. But the question is why not? If you know the answer to that question then you fully understand what's going on. B-52s could do a number but they ain't.

You can remind me of Afghanistan all day long. So what? Advise me on the similarity between this and Ukraine?

If NATO was not backing Ukraine fully with money and weapons then Ukraine would do as well as it did in 2014.

Russia may get weaker may get stronger who knows. But buys time for Ukraine as well. Time for Russia to fail due to sanctions. If the British Empire cared for the Czechs then it wouldn't have sold them down the river. Let's judge on actions and the actions are pretty clear. As advised...

That depends on your definition of defeat is. I would fully suspect Ukraine and NATO would happily support any peace treaty that's favourable. How long do you think Ukraine would have lasted without the support of NATO? Seconds? Minutes? Hours? Again NATO is fighting the war through Ukraine...

According to Russia the flight suits are yellow cos they yellow. They don't signifies nothing. Very very strange though.
