He's fan of fox-hunting, so he loves a futile and pointless bloodbath.

Germany edging towards it..... Germany agrees new military service plan to boost troop numbers

Lol - someone sounds worried. You're a military aficionado. I thought you'd be looking forward to it?

I didn't realise there was a religious angle to it

I don't think they are nuts, it's more that they simply don't care. Or even worse - they would be quite happy to see our own armed forces sacrificed out there. After all, patriots are a problem for them, as they have repeatedly shown here in the UK. Getting that demographic killed in the...

Not so much misfit nutters, the celebration of Nazi Bandera is deeply embedded in Ukranian society. He even has a national bank holiday Ukraine Makes Birthday of Nazi Collaborator a Holiday

You should research the Azov Brigade. ...and also the celebration of Stepan Bandera. The Russians aren't stupid and they are sensitive about this sort of thing for some reason

Will the 50,000 casualties comprise the following? Arms manufacturers? Politicians calling for war? Politicians who broke previous agreements on Ukraine? EU bureaucrats pushing war? People with Ukraine flags in their Facebook profiles? If not, then I'm out. Because we all know it will be...

Yep, predictable that the usual suspects choose the option that results in more bloodshed of innocents and more profits for the military-industrial complex. Has anyone seen Putin's speeches translated? He does literally refer to the trans-rights madness. A significant proportion of Russian...

The only evidence they can cite is what someone says to incriminate themselves. Which is why saying nothing other than "I don't watch live TV and don't need a TV licence" is the best option. That said, I would still avoid having an iplayer account, because that can in theory be traced.

Yes combined with a wider understanding of how many people don't actually need a licence. BBC have collected a lot of fees based on ignorance in the past.

Jairo Riedewald hair. That could be a problem.

Right on cue this morning.... That shiny white hat would make a nice target for a Russian drone. Unfortunately, I can't see it leaving the buffet table in a cosy French rural château anytime soon.

Yes, if you watch those old black and white propaganda films they are full of gushing praise for the brave Russians 'fighting for freedom'.

I thought he had already exited. Leaving it to the Europeans. Anyone of conscription age (Knowing Starmer it will be up to about 90) should maybe think about their options. Dual nationality is a useful one - we have Irish and Jamaican connections in our wider family. But for those who have...

My Great Uncle was part of the lend-lease convoys that took the equipment to Murmansk. He told me two crazy stories. 1) They offloaded rows of tanks for the Russians, at which point the Russian commander looked him in the eye and said "Thanks, we'll use them on you eventually!" 2) He also said...

Yep sound analysis. Western Europe is the problem, more specifically. Most of the Eastern Europeans will be happy to see the war end as well. A couple of them, Poland and Hungary, even have half an eye on claiming Ukrainian territory themselves.

We'll never know for sure because Zelenskyy cancelled the democratic elections. A good way to secure the 'will of the people'

Want a Deal Russia wants a deal. The US wants a deal. The Ukrainian people mostly want a deal. Don't want a Deal The Military Industrial complex The EU Zelensky? The last two could be the main problem. Unless they change tune the war is going to be fought to the last Ukrainian.
