I agree, there wasn't much that could be done. That's a very realist point of view. Similar to how some don't believe it's worth risking nuclear...
I didn't say you did, I was referring to Ben Wallace's statement. Sorry for the confusion. The Polish people didn't get a fair choice over their...
Hardly a democratic process considering pretty much every party bar the Communist Party was outlawed in the years between 1945-47. Either way,...

1939 we supposedly went to war to defend Poland's sovereignty... but abandoned it to the USSR after the war. Wouldn't say we're the best of allies.
Potential flashpoint in that the UK will back Poland should they decide to send fighter jets to Ukraine. Hoping European nations pressure against...
Try and relax a bit. The parallels are more obvious with WW1 than WW2. But anyway, the chances of a nuclear exchange over Ukraine are still very...
I did edit it to a lot of Russians. He's not got a monopoly, but he's got a lot of supporters. Unfortunately.

I think Russia will try and permanently annex the Donbas region and maybe Luhansk. I don't see them holding past the Dnieper long term. Putin...
Thanks for that, appreciated. Labelling it a rebate threw me a bit. Cheers
Bit confused about how this is going to work. I'm probably being an idiot. Is it a one off payment of 150? Or is it going to be split? Are they...
You're absolutely right. As a know-it-all undergraduate student I remember firing off anti-Russian essays off to my lecturers. I didn't really...
Thanks mate. Not my intention. Just spent a lot of time having these kinds of debates and presenting them formally. Never my intention to belittle...
Long post there and I don't want to go through it piece by piece and unpick it. You're absolutely entitled to your views, but in my opinion, some...
The Hitler/Munich comparison is a bad one and deeply flawed. Liz Truss is out of her depth, I agree. And I agree with everything you've said...
They sound like reasonable points to me. Id agree its got the potential to last a long time. Not an expert in military strategy, but you don't...
