to feel the threat of attack is increasing?

@IhateHPSDeaneCnt I am sure it was a light hearted post which was not meant to cause any intended offence. Sadly the world seems to be ruled by mad, war thirsty men . I worry for my children most of all .

It doesn't seem likely to me, not really. Russia isn't going to attack NATO countries. They also aren't going to attack Ukraine with nuclear weapons ... Much too close to home, too dangerous for their own people.

Poor Ukraine. The upcoming (less than supportive) US administration must be such a worry for them. I hope that Europe stands firm against Putin and that we can all remember that Russian people are not the enemy, only their leadership.

@thestudio What. Does that mean you're suggesting no attempts to resolve the conflict should be made?

This post is in very bad taste.

We all know what Hitler did.

Calling it willy waving is irresponsible minimising.

If Putin’s aim is world domination there doesn’t seem much point in obliterating it. Be nothing left to dominate. That’s how I see it

There’s no point in worrying about it either way. Is anyone starts chucking nukes about we are all toast guaranteed and not much you can do about that. The more likely outcome is more underhanded stuff like cables being cut, leaders dying under weird circumstances, toilet roll panics etc

Really no need to worry of direct attack.

There will be a continuation of the hybrid doctrine though.

Really? Saying that Hitler was just ‘willy waving’ (ugh) and Bin Laden too. WW2? 9/11?

Piss off.

Biden is still the president of the USA and not a ‘caretaker’ @TheHardestWalk

Who exactly do you think he's going to attack? The UK? The US? Finland? If he was going to attack even Finland he'd have got in there before they joined NATO like he did with Ukraine. He hasn't had any real kind of victory in Ukraine yet and that's been going on 3 years, why would he start spreading himself more thinly? He doesn't want Europe and he doesn't want a war with Europe, he just wants to hark back to the glory days of the USSR and show The West that they can't just take over the whole world.

@Bubblesoffun plans sure, but not the ability. 1000 plus days and he's not even secured the country next door, I don't think we as an island nation in NATO have too much to be worried about in terms of invasion.

1002 days ago people on here were saying Russia would never invade Ukraine and it was just “Willy Waving” yet here we are 1001 days later. I think people naive to think Putin doesn’t have bigger plans than just Ukraine.

Russia haven't even been able to take Ukraine, how long have they been there now?! Their power is massively overstated, I'm more worried about their cyber influence rather than their quite poor armed forces.

Was coming on to say just this.
We have no idea about the reality of the situation, and even if we did, we can do absolutely nothing about it, so no point worrying.

This.

Tbh, I can't see the point in worrying about a war or stockpiling 'a few days food' as was suggested on a thread yesterday.

If it happens, it happens. Worrying about it will.make absolutely no difference to whether it does or not. And, if it doesn't, think of all that mental.energy and time you'll have spent worrying about it.

Jesus Christ I can't believe that's what you guys take
Offence too
we don't need to take offence to absolutely anything
o thought it was well said

Agreed. That post really fucking annoyed me. Completely ignorant.
Also the phrase ‘Willy waving’ is very irritating.

Given the horror of WWII, the 20 year long bloody regime of the IRA and the attack on the US by Al Qqaeda, I am not sure your hilarious response is that reassuring.

😆

p.s I don't see any humour in @RobertaFirmino post - it's beyond ignorant - perhaps you should ask for it to be removed?

I really don't understand @RobertaFirmino response? how uneducated can you be be to say 'waving his willy' didn't result in WW2: 6 million dead - from just one ethnic group - millions of others killed, years of rationing, targeted bombing of civilians, deplorable treatment of Prisoners of War, loans from the US which the UK have just paid back, Merchant Seamen gambling with their lives to ensure the UK didn't starve and so much more.

Bin Liner 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's the same as it's ever been
