The war in Ukraine

"I miss the ""is putin about to make a big mistake"" thread"

[Hammer and Pickle]

Yeah yeah Drink up your white Chianti

"There is a bit of trouble brewing in Moldova/Traniestr. Moldova is said to be beginning mobilisation with a view to invading Traniestr. Tiraspol is appealing to help from EU, OSCE, UN and Russia. Keep an eye on it."

It's Red Cabbage Chianti

[Hammer and Pickle]

The idea that a Euro war bond breaks rule of law (especially if ratified by sovereign members) is as absurd as a white Chianti. What an arsehole you are SBT 2.

[riosleftsock]

White wine with beef stew? Are you a fucking barbarian?

[riosleftsock]

"Depends how you look at it Gopnik. Treaties are treaties, international rules based order, rule of law, EU values etc...Ahem So when the EU army is funded by the EU war bond, will the EU countries leave NATO or just defund it?"

[Hammer and Pickle]

"Anyway, I think a Euro war-bond is a perfectly sensible recourse in current circumstances. And yes, I am enjoying a very nice glass of Chianti with this excellent beef-shank stew I made over the weekend."

Hammer and Pickle 11:27 Wed Feb 28 My take is you are an alcoholic who is getting drunk right now

[Hammer and Pickle]

My take is you’re talking bollocks as usual.

[Dwight Van Mann]

"Hammer and Pickle 11:22 Wed Feb 28 ""Lisbon and Maastricht did not envisage an aggressive, imperialistic Kremlin on Europe’s flank"" either very shortsighted or very convenient depending on your take"

[Hammer and Pickle]

"Lisbon and Maastricht did not envisage an aggressive, imperialistic Kremlin on Europe’s flank and potentially nutjob Trump as US president undermining NATO for short-term political gain."

[riosleftsock]

"Gopnik If you want the EU to raise direct taxation, that is a seismic change in EU policy. Not only that but its not allowed under the Maastricht or Lisbon treaties. You actually want taxation without representation? You're bonkers."

[Hammer and Pickle]

A European defence bond would certainly be a step in the right direction. It would fuck Trump up well and proper and indicate the Germans have finally kicked the Kremlin cock-smoking habit. Bring it on.

[riosleftsock]

"Jaan In the background the EU want to issue 110bn in bonds (war bonds) to 're-arm' the EU. Bonds will need security, when issued by sovereign states this is secured by the state's ability to raise taxes on its people and companies. You know what is coming.... Once the EU has the ability to tax, issue bonds and raise an army then you can forget about dangerous conspiracy theories. Bea rin mind that NATO will be the EUs external force ,the new EU army will be an internal one."

[Hammer and Pickle]

"Doesn’t make a lot of sense until you consider what a threat the Kremlin Mob is, does it SBT 3"

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

von der Leyen talking up giving Ukraine the profits of frozen Russian assets and the possibility of Europe going to war. Whilst claiming its purpose in making Europe a safer place to live.

"An UnHerd investigation published in August of last year revealed the inner workings of the TBI, which is partially funded by Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison. Ellison purchased digital health records company Cerner for $28 billion, while the TBI has previously advocated selling health records to fund scientific research. In September, former Finnish prime minister Sanna Marin joined the Institute in an advisory role. According to its website, the TBI provides guidance for over 30 governments, including Saudi Arabia under a £9 million deal between the two parties. Of its $81 million turnover in 2021, $79.4 million was from “government advisory work”."

"Another conspiracy theory Patrick Vallance, chief UK scientific advisor during lockdowns, is now joining the Tony Blair Institute, which campaigns for health data passports and is funded by Oracle. innit?"

"Would that be the same shame you feel for raping an under-aged Cambodian cripple and leaving her wedged in a tree, gyppo?"

"BRANDED 12:54 Wed Feb 28 They built 12 spy bases that track Russian spy satellites, eavesdrop communications between Russian commanders, intercepted Russia’s involvement in the downing of an airliner, but were the victims of Russian interference in the 2016 US election. Er, RIGHTY-HO"

Oxbore it's a shame blue cards are not used on here and you were sin binned because of your constant insane drivel

[Mike Oxsaw]

"The sooner the UN introduce blue cards and sin bins for these events,the safer the world will be."

"The CIA has built 12 “secret spy bases” along the Russian border in Ukraine that act as the “nerve centre” of Kyiv’s military, an investigation has revealed. Over eight years, the US agency has trained and equipped Kyiv’s intelligence officers in underground bunkers, some of which are buried deep in Ukraine’s forests. They have also fully financed and partially equipped them, according to the New York Times. Russian spy satellites are tracked by Ukrainians in the bunkers who eavesdrop on communications between Russian commanders and report back to the CIA, the report said. The intelligence partnership began a decade ago after Russia’s invasion of Crimea. The Ukrainians collected intercepts that helped prove Russia’s involvement in the 2014 downing of a commercial jetliner, Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. They also helped to pursue Russian operatives who interfered in the 2016 US election."
