Re: Ukraine
Not the order of the garter he needs, more the order of the rope, around his neck.
But this goes to show how useless all the big boys are, NATO, UN and others.
They draw up regulations that the likes of Putin will never listen to, he will do what he wants.
But just in on the news, talk that he wants to speak with some from the west about the current situation.
As a result the price of oil dropped by $4 a barrel.
Also reported he has asked China for military aid in the form of tanks and munitions.
Has been reported that some real news from the west is getting through to the people.
That is the only way he can be removed is if enough of the people stand up to him.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Re: Ukraine
In todays paper over here John, Russian President Vladimir Putin is suffering from a brain disorder caused by Dementia , Parkinsons Disease or " roid rage " resulting from steroid treatment for cancer, intelligence sources have claimed. citing sources close to the kremlin.
Good chance for suing for defamation of character you think. Could get him a place in the Physciatric ward at Broadmoor. ? JS

Re: Ukraine
The newspaper here is claiming he already signed an agreement with China when he was over there during the Winter Olympics and held off the invasion until they were finished . Claims and counter claims always the same. Every attack on a neutral country should be answered with a counter attack by all neutral countries regardless of supposedly agreements signed or unsigned. If they are kept secret how can they be legal ? JS

Agree Keith, only he should have enough lead internally he would not require a lead shroud.

As you know; the first casualty in a war is the truth. I have never read so much rubbish in my life as the last few weeks, people who don't even know where Russia or the Ukraine are; are suddenly experts.

Re: Ukraine
A good short reply by a reader in today’s paper and straight to the point “ now that petrol exceeds the price of beer, I’ve decided to be a drinker and not a driver “.. JS
They reckoned Hitler had a dose of the clap as well as other brain disfunctions. Never mind Goebells lack of body parts. Cheers JS .

Re: Ukraine
I use the same petrol station all the time, and as I tell the bloke, people are complaining but it is still cheaper than water, and much cheaper than Coke
and they don't complain about those.
