Go fuck yourself you bellend.

Not my fault if you've a problem with the English language. 

I would have written "My apologies if I misinterpreted your post" but you didn't give me a chance to do so before, like a two-year old, calling me a "tampon".

 

If you want polite discourse, be polite.

 

If you want a pointless argument, look elsewhere.

Nah, fuck your polite. Polite would have been to ask me to elaborate. You misinterpreted the post I made which was very short admittedly and left open to interpretation (if I was being sarcastic I would have made that obvious), plus I now realise the source was a less than pleasant individual. But you were then you were also  bitchy with your 2nd one. So no, fuck polite.

I get the impression trouble is a brewing. Wallace in Washington and the word nuclear being bandied around a lot more.

Could be. Could be a number of things, not least the revelation ex-RAF pilots are giving intel on NATO air strategy to the Chinese.

All those top chaps no doubt privately educated, hailing from the shires with dads also in the RAF and prattling on about Queen and country, heroes all.

The fear is that the Russians are clearing Kherson of civilians in order to nuke it when it falls to the Ukrainians.

 

....although I don't really understand what tactical advantage it would give them...

Doubt they'd drop a nuke that close to Crimea (or anywhere at all in fact - it'd be the end of them). 

 

My feeling is they'll make another 'good will gesture' and evacuate the city of Kherson, knowing full well that it'll be within range of their artillery stationed along the south bank of the Dneiper. Once the Ukrainian forces move in they'll flatten it from a distance, safe in the knowledge that with both river crossings down. the UKR aren't coming close to them any time soon.

LONDON, Oct 20 (Reuters) - A Russian aircraft released a missile near a British aircraft patrolling in international airspace over the Black Sea on Sept. 29, defence minister Ben Wallace said on Thursday.

Wallace told parliament Britain had suspended patrols following the incident and expressed their concerns to Russia's Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu. Russia said it was a technical malfunction and Wallace said Britain has now resumed patrols.

The patrols now have fighter aircraft escorts, he added.

Saw that earlier. The torygraph article didnt point the finger of suspicion at any nation but, smoking gun?

There's a quite in there saying its probably a trawler but it's "unusual for it to happen twice'. 

 

It's well known tactics of the Russians through.

The implication from the daily heil is that it was Meghan Markle. Apparently she was up there at the weekend setting fire to pony's with a lighter and a can of aerosol.

We have 3 sub sea lines to faroe islands, they have been cut off by trawlers several times. When i used to play counter strike allot it felt like it happened every year.
