    In all honesty I'm not sure that Nato can at the moment, Russia has a huge airforce, albeit some is rather old, Nato fighters would be operating a long way from their bases over a hotbed of Anti Aircraft sites, I could see huge air battles but no guarantee of a no fly zone.
    The worst case is if Nato, god forbid, happened to lose that battle, Poland, Hungary and Romania could suddenly be open to attack.

    Go on then.... Demonstrate that it's false. You only know what you've read in the papers or seen on the telly, right?

    Well, I'd hazard a guess that reputable, award winning news outlets, and known experts are a more reliable source of information than ASBMilitary news on twitter and fu cking telegram that is clearly a Russian sock puppet, shared by bots and trolls.

    But you crack on, I'll not be replying to you again. I will sign off with this though; because of people like you is how the Capitol riots happened and how vulnerable people end up falling down extremist rabbit holes.

    Whether you truly believe what you're saying or whether you're doing it for laughs, it makes you an incredibly dangerous person in times like these.

    OK. Demonstrate this is false because I heard the news today. 4,000 holes in Blackburn Lancashire. Apparently some of the holes were very small and they had to count them all. What's the other side of this story?

    Serious question

    You sound as if you are on a bit of a crusade

    I think you might want to look up the crusades for some historical context.

    Yes... Perhaps I am Durkar. I will always fight the corner for open, two-sided debate.

    Have you admitted you was completely wrong with everything you said about trump yet or are you admitting to being a troll?

    The problem with that is knowing when you are on wrong side of the debate and when to stop , something I don’t think you’ve grasped yet

    UN troops don’t exist as a “thing”. UN peacekeepers whilst predominantly military can ge a civilian force too

    countries can donate troops to the UN if they make a request. Being part of the UN makes you liable however you’d be surprised at the countries who cough up the most

    Often countries who hold an interest in a particular place may be more willing to offer than those who don’t.

    Don't get confused by what you are reading and believe it all to be true, what you are putting forward is only a theory.....not evidence.....

    See, I love a good debate. But you only ever seem to post links and make statements.
    How about you tell me, what you believe or understand Vladimir Putin’s motivations to be.
    What do you think the desired outcome of this conflict is for Putin?
    How do you think Putin justifies his actions to himself and his advisors?
    I don’t think the so called “West” are blameless in this war, in fact it’s probably only Ukraine who are… but let’s deconstruct your opinion. Let’s not have sound bites and quotes and evasion.

    You should be ashamed. I know you won’t be, but you should be.

    Agreed. Needs fecking off the site permanently. I'm all for a good debate or argument but stating that Putin is a good guy when he's murdering children is beyond reprehensible

    A lot of people assume he is trolling, and I would too if I didn't personally know someone who is very similar (and even more extreme - he thinks the world is flat).

    You wouldn't believe how easily and how far the gullible can be misled by social media platforms which can be exploited to lead them down a spiralling rabbit hole of conspiracies.

    Not that it makes his posts any more acceptable, of course.
