 Why don't all the people who own second homes in this country and in the EU offer to house Ukraine refugees for free :?:
Why don't you offer yours?

I've just got a one-bedroom flat but I'd still be happy to share it with a young Ukrainian girl, that's the sort of guy I am. :D

Make sure you don't tell her about the Russian you previously shared it with ;)

You'll be able to learn Russian for free.
I reckon we'll all be speaking Russian before long the way things are going

I knew Russia was going to blame Ukraine on the near-nuclear disaster, so predictable.

 Didn't Ukraine give up its Nuclear weapons on the understanding the west would protect it. Bet they wish they kept them now. And who knows, maybe they didn't hand all of them over or gave a false number to start with.
Nuclear missiles aren't that easy to hide. They need launch pads and other facilities that can be seen from satellite images. That's how they spotted launch sites in Cuba.
But didn't Ukraine have mobile ones which could in theory be driven underground somewhere ?

One positive about the war is all those sexy East European accents you hear on the news. :D

I don't know the ins and outs of it but I'd imagine building and maintaining nuclear warheads require a lot of documentation. Those weapons inspectors that went into Irak, you'd think they're looking for a needle in a haystack but they seem confident they'd find them if they existed.

What is the point in claiming the Ukrainians deliberately started the fire when it's all been caught on CCTV? :roll:

A military expert reckons "strategic stupidity" is to blame for the near-disaster. :)

The word "war" has been banned in Russia with 15 years in prison for anyone who uses it. :lol:

Microsoft is no longer selling products to Russia. With any luck their nuclear warheads will be running Windows 10. :)
