ramjet Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 Something that I keep reading is that this conflict has guaranteed that Ukraine will not be able to join NATO now? Why?

ramjet Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 So even if this all stops, Ukraine still can't join? Or if they have continuing skirmishes in Donbas etc, that still prevents tham as well? But if we take Russia at their word, this is not war, but a 'special military operation' by Russia, so Ukraine should be able to join?

Mark Blanchard Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 So Russia's practicing nuclear missile launches now. Let's hope it's just posturing and nothing happens on May 9th.

ramjet Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 I have just been reading about various intelligence sources that apparently Ukraine has benefitted from. I would have thought that divesting that information in the middle of a 'special military operation' would be totally against the concept of intelligence as it alerts the other party to be even more cautious. An insider in the FSB was suggested. News journo just making stuff up, or a legitimate report? Either way, it potentially puts people at far more risk. Or it could have the exact opposite effect and make that intelligence source clam right up and never assist again.

LotusLeftLotusRight Posted May 8 Author Report Share Posted May 8 ^^^ Apparently that didn’t (yet) actually happen. Fake news. Ukraine say they hit a little landing craft. Putin will be able to use his big parade tomorrow to celebrate the skill of his armed forces in precision bombing a school full of civilians. It would be nice if the Ukrainians could smuggle some surface-to-air missiles into the Moscow area and give Mad Vlad something to watch as they pick off his flypast. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LotusLeftLotusRight Posted May 9 Author Report Share Posted May 9 Apparently the Russians have cancelled the Victory Day fly past “because of the weather”. Looks OK to me. I bet they were just scared about my earlier post about Ukrainian SAMs. Maybe Putin’s on TLF? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exeterjeep Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 Look to have plenty of soldiers left, not seen the parade of shiny new tanks and missiles yet. Unlikely to be short of aircraft. - may be they uncovered a plot to bomb him from the aircraft. Wonder if Putin has a bullet proof vest on.

Also possible that Putin's health isn't great, so doesn't want to be seen to be frail, nor fail to attend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramjet Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 If Ukraine is not in NATO, which we all know it isn't, what could be done if Putin orders a nuclear strike? Any repercussion would more than likely be the third act to begin World War III. 1) Ukraine invasion. 2) Dummy spit nuclear strike. 3 Repercussions & world war III and the world will all go to hell in a handbasket. (as my mother used to say) Or am I reading too much into it? Quote All we know is that when they stop making this, we will be properly, properly sad.Jeremy Clarkson on the Esprit.
