A slip of the tongue or does he know something we dont ?
BBC News:
"The new head of the British Army says British troops need to be ready to confront the renewed threat from Russia following its invasion of Ukraine"

He's the shop steward for the Army. Of course he's going to ramp up the need for a bigger Army. Is he right? I kind of doubt it. But that's just hope/instinct, rather than analysis.Archery1969 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 3:02 pmA slip of the tongue or does he know something we dont ?

Putin''s critigue of sanctions as "mad and thoughtless" suggests to me that sanctions are hurting.
Let's hope Putin returns to rhetoric rather than violence sometime soon.
My take on that is, he's not suggesting an invasion of the UK is imminent. All of Europe need to be on alert, but it's really no different to peacetime. The armed forces should be ready do defend against any unexpected threat.Archery1969 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 3:02 pmA slip of the tongue or does he know something we dont ?

I've just heard it. He's referring to the fact that NATO states are under threat so all of NATO need to be ready to fight in eastern Europe. It's not really alarming. Putin would have to sink to the very lowest depths of stupidity to attack a NATO member.Archery1969 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 3:02 pmA slip of the tongue or does he know something we dont ?

What the fuck is Turkey, a NATO state, doing purchasing grain from Russia?
Reports of Russia stealing grain from Ukraine and selling it via transportation to Turkey, backed up by satellite images and close-up photographs of the ship.

Turkey has always been a bit dodgy. A few NATO countries wish it was never allowed to join.
Yeah, they use Russian-built anti-aircraft gear. All the more astounding that Russia is selling their state-of-the-art S-400s to NATO.Archery1969 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 25, 2022 11:13 pmTurkey has always been a bit dodgy. A few NATO countries wish it was never allowed to join.

Turkey has the hump because it wants to join the EU but some EU countries who are NATO members don’t want it too and are dragging their feet on approving Turkey membership. Not so long ago Turkey threatened to let Syrian refugees flood into EU countries unless they approved their application. Personally I would kick them out of NATO but strategically they add benefit or so they say.Derek27 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 25, 2022 11:32 pmYeah, they use Russian-built anti-aircraft gear.
