I have just seen the wreak on the ground, do you have a link for the video??
I did see one that was debunked as a game video, nearly posted it.
I think it might have been the Mail but not too sure.

I read one article that the Russians claimed. The British did the Bucha killings.

To be honest Lowbank, I think I’m beyond shocking when it comes to Russian fantasy. Had it been made up no-one would have bought a plot so utterly Fleming like. The lunatics hold the keys to the asylum.

I just wish Biden would keep his mouth shut . A get he’s mainly muzzled /handled/auto cued etc due to his health but the president of the USA calling for regime change and shouting about war crimes does zero to help the immediate plight of UKR while seriously winding Putin up.

If he doesn’t know that Russia and him personally will have to answer for what is going on, then it is unlikely he knows what Biden said a month ago, never mind today. Have you seen what is being found in Bucha and all the areas Russia are evacuating? There is no out for Putin, short of him putting a bullet in his own head.

Sadly all too much so. But it was always so behind the Iron Curtain: this is a return to type, well and truly after just a glimmer (in historical terms) of what the world could be. History shows a period of relative calm encourages the worst kind self-obsession as collective conscience breaks down, despots appear sensing weakness and opportunity for expansion. And the world back tracks behind National Borders.

Putin believes himself to be the new Tsar and has set himself to be known as the leader who re-establishes the old Russian Empire. He has full support of the KGB who back him to fight against the West. So he will blame /explain the conduct of the war as a reprisal against the Western forces of Nato and the European Union who he says have caused it all.

To be fair, the world sees us professional at everything and it will be believed because to be fair we are great at most things. But to be able to sell to the Russians that we can do this under the noses of the Russians and the Ukrainians makes us almost extraterrestrial in our ability.

There is a reasonable school of thought that it was British agents that organised the assassination of Rasputin.. so it could be argued we have form for taking out dangerous nutcases from the Kremlin.

Now the Russians are in trouble. Biden approves delivery of switchblade 600 drones.
Perhaps the delivery of 300 was to check they could use them correctly.
The 600 can fly 40 miles so way behind enemy lines and is armour piercing. Don’t think it’s enough to take out a tank. But artillery, thermobaric missile launchers and just about anything else has no where to hide from it. Let’s hope it’s a first delivery followed by a few thousand.

If you want a glimpse of how we arrive at such naked atrocities as Bucha (and no doubt many many more) check out this from former Russian President and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.

https://twitter.com/samramani2/status/ ... ZpI5JC-80Q

This isn’t some populist pot stirrer shouting from the sidelines. He’s the deputy chair of the Russian Security Council, and the rhetoric is indistinguishable from the anti-Slav language of Nazi Germany in the late 30s and WW2, or the the Stalinist oppression of the Kulaks during the 30’s.

There’s a reply in that thread which shows a Russian gent being interviewed on the street for his views. Now western powers aren’t taken in by what is essentially state-sponsored sh!tposting, but you’d imagine it’s certainly landing with its intended audience back home.

TBH I am now having to change my ideas about the innocent Russian military losing their lives. After what some of them are doing, you just have to think "Damn it", may the Ukranians just hit every damn target and try to get them out.

I still feel sorry for the conscripts.

If it’s true there are squads waiting to shoot you if you retreat without such orders.

Your stuck in hole you cannot get out of.

Looking at the drought map at the link is a bigger cause for concern in the medium term.

Overall it looks like the legacy (costs) of Covid (and of course it is still with us), this war and its legacy, ON TOP OF climate changes that have happened, are happening and most likely becoming even more damaging, leaves us with a very dangerous period of instability.

Exciting times!
