Discussion: Relations with Russia

[Marvolo]

If Russia runs out of artillery they'll have to drop that guy on Ukraine.

If I was a Russian soldier I'd be worried he'd eat me if I failed him.

He'll die from a heart attack before his first battle, lol.

Supposedly that guy is border patrol, based on his hat. Not a high ranking general.

'Would take bullet for Putin': Former F1 boss Ecclestone's shocking claim sparks outrage

The former head of Formula 1 spoke up for Putin, telling Times Radio last month that he thought the Russian President was "quite direct and honourable." Ecclestone previously stated to The Times that he believed Putin ought to be "ruling Europe."

"He's a good guy. He's never done anything that isn't doing good things for people. I would like him running Europe. We haven't got anybody, so it couldn't be any worse. I am not a supporter of democracy. You need a dictator. As a dictator, you say, 'This is what I'm going to do'. In a democracy, it gets watered down," Ecclestone concluded.

You know what I'd call twenty five thousand dead Russian soldiers?

A good start

Thankfully for all the problems Europe has it hasn't got to the point where it's allowing idiots like this drooling window licker to decide who is running things

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

A pathetic flex.

Dude is crazy - he can always go and fight for Putin if he wants to take a bullet for him.

Putin loves when he hears things like this

"It tells me my allies are on the same page as me

They are willing to take a bullet for me

And I am willing to force them to take a bullet for me"

What a revolting little man.

Taking a cup of tea from Putin would be ideal for Eccleston.

Its an embarrassment. Erdogan is every bit as much of a tyrant as Putin, and just as keen on invading his neighbours and occupying their territory (see: Syria and Cyprus).

Its also absurd that Turkey is allowed to remain part of NATO and Ukraine isn't allowed to join when, for all its problems, Ukraine is far more democratic than Turkey and also doesn't illegally occupy any other country's territory.

Yeah i never got that to be honest.
I cant remember if Turkey was more Democratic before Erdogan, but it definitly turned more questionable since Erdogan is running the place.

I just can't believe anything coming from there. I hope it's true and the rushed repairs blow up in their GD faces.

 

[squeekness]

If they are running low on weapons, why does it seem like they are gaining aa lot of Ukrainian ground right now? They certainly aren't retreating according to CNN.

Tankies too, but there's a lot less Tankies than far right American zealots.
