I had forgotten the last two words in the title. I just don't think there are enough known facts to sustain a thread. Some level of speculation is inevitable on this thread.I must have imagined this then Ukraine: Unsubstantiated rumours and speculation
Oh yeh. Some level. But DC has gone above and beyond that.I had forgotten the last two words in the title. I just don't think there are enough known facts to sustain a thread. Some level of speculation is inevitable on this thread.

You can tell a lot about a man who has to use insults to express himself, and none of it to his advantage.Regular jibes from sad little arsepuffs with the singular aim of putting down others to bolster their egos ok though?..just asking
You'd think they employ people to go in and errrm count them.
Hopefully everyone that stands to go to prison will turn on Putin. Maybe the reason Putin hasn't done much about it is he knows what will happen to him.Oh they do - they're on the take as well.
Everyone in any position of power is in on it - everyone in the system gets a slice for falsifying the data. Command positions are bought, everyone is paying someone else, everyone is being paid off by someone else.
Let's hope that the corruption and graft in their nuke arsenal is even more endemic and impactful to the hardware than in their conventional forces...Oh they do - they're on the take as well.

And this is why they haven’t built any warships since the 1990s, but somehow a select few people have spent an awful lot of money on massive yachts. Total mafia state. Tons of oil money yet much of the population have their arses hanging out living in rural slums with unpaved roads.Oh they do - they're on the take as well.

Which doesn't explain the new naval vessels in the black sea fleet eg the admiral essenAnd this is why they haven’t built any warships since the 1990s
It was "99 Luftballons" in the original German - they needed the "red" to make it scan in English.99 Red Balloons is about nuclear war? (99 Air Balloons in German, she clearly didn't know the German for red).
Why am I always the last to know these things?
And then they go and fight a war...Oh they do - they're on the take as well.

I had an Athena style poster that I must have bought from Woolies on my wall of Nena in between two others. One of Phil Neal and one of Kenny Dalgliesh which I got from the Liverpool Echo. I never had a knuckle shuffle over Phil or Kenny though.99 Red Balloons is about nuclear war? (99 Air Balloons in German, she clearly didn't know the German for red).

Grim thought/realisation - the Russian media escalating its anti-Ukrainian rhetoric to the point of essentially justifying genocide. I fear its preparing the ground for them to use nuclear weapons. Happy Easter.

If it goes nuclear, it will likely go, well, nuclear. There’s a fair bit of illogical talk of “tactical” nuclear warhead use implying there could be limited use. Using nukes is like being pregnant; you cannot be a little bit pregnant like you cannot have minor convenient nuclear strike. Then expect be back in time for tea
You can conceivably have a use of tactical nuclear weapons not immediately followed by a full-on apocalypse.If it goes nuclear, it will likely go, well, nuclear.

£10 says it’ll stay nuclear free or total nuclear holocaust…no in between.
If Russia was to drop a single Nuke (or 2) on Ukraine, the US can choose to respond with military force or not. If they do it will escalate, so I still think they would stay out of the fight.What other options are there?
