This "banter" between you and SKB is becoming very tedious, mainly because it's so dimwitted and humourless. The pair of you should probably just sod off, and take gricer with you.

I can't stop the tosser, and the mods like him.

Sure we love him and hate you. That's why he was banned for a week for posts in General, and you were banned for a couple of days for stirring in the Professional forums. How very one-sided of us.

And while you can't stop the tosser posting, you can stop responding to his posts.

NAT Dahling!

Totally admit I was a pain a week ago - personal issues I apologise.

as to Saddo - Wibble!

Although there was a risk that, if Putin had had an easy ride in Ukraine, he might have gone on to invade other European neighbours, I somehow doubt it. I couldn't see him attacking a NATO country.

Agreed.

Just because Hitler went on to invade Poland after first invading another country, we can't assume that all aggressors like Putin are going to do the same. Although they might.

I'm tending towards the view that we should abandon Ukraine to Russia, allowing the war to end. And then add troops to Poland's eastern border to make it quite clear to Putin that his games stop right there.

PS. another sign of how weak Russia now is...

They allowed Assad's Syria to fall. No way that would have happened if they hadn't invaded Ukraine.

Assad was expendable as is Iran. Iran wet itself after the fall of Syria and Gaza

It seems to me that Ukraine's biggest mistake was giving up all those nukes & trusting the West to back up the promises they made.

Maybe we should slip the Ukrainians some of that 100 tonnes of Pu we've got lying around doing nothing much. .

True I suppose but Syria was a good strategic location in the Med for their naval and air bases.

May I refer the honourable member to the above? It takes two to

so he has carte blanche to attack me, but i can't answer?
typical crap from you.

and when do we stop 'abandoning' other counties to Putin?
when a T72 parks outside your house?
is your name Chamberlain? by any chance?

Putin has most of Africa now, taken while the west was asleep.
