#274. Well he was a newspaper man Des and they all tell fibs. JS .

Its a well known fact repeat a lie and it becomes the truth, or lie will have gone round the world before the truth gets out of bed.
There is no evidence of Nazism in the Ukraine apart from Putins deranged brain.
Russian and Ukrainian speakers lived side by side in harmony.
Putin wants the old Soviet Empire rebuilt to its so called former glory.
Putin expected the Ukrainians to roll over and accept the inevitable, they didn't, they fought back and have inflected serious damage on his attacking forces.
He is now suing for peace because his losses are mounting and his troops are demoralised.

Ref 274, it was how he escaped Des, two guys had a plan to go out the back of the toilet block, Churchill asked if he could join them, they told him there was not enough time for 3 to get out, so, Churchill nicked their plan and went out just before the others were planned to go. Shows what sort of character he was .

An e-mail tonight from friends in Ireland who own two B&B .
In their town there area couple of Ukraine families, been there for a few years now.
The town is taking in refugees from there and our friends are using the B&B to house as many as they can until gov finds permanent accommodation for them.
There is in the town a old convent which the local council are to renovate and use as temporary housing for Ukraine refugees.

Boris says Russia will loser, maybe he is right.
A spokesman for the USA said footage taken from the air shows the Russian troops in a stalemate situation, not moving forward at all.

Where to from here is any ones guess, but the Ukrainian people will not lie down and die.
Reported that about 10,000 Russian soldiers killed so far.
