Sometimes difficult decisions have to be made.
This might be a Rheinland moment, a last chance to prevent something even worse.

Or it could ensure something worse

Appeasement has never worked.

tiredhell · 15/11/2022 21:26

@BeverForget neither has escalation

There's a lot of people coming across as very war hungry on this thread - perhaps memories have faded fast of Afghanistan.

Kendodd · 15/11/2022 21:28

If people are scared in Europe, I'm sure people are also scared in Russia. There has seemed to be the start of some rumblings of discontent about this war in Russia. Really hoping (naively) that the Russian people will get rid of Putin and end this war because of this.

We don't need a content warning. We're not simpering idiots.

I think the word idiot was well used tbh.

If your brain can't cope with grown up politics, perhaps the Internet isn't the place for you.

Sure because a World war is not the most worse option

Some Russian is going to get shot for not aiming the missle in the right direction. I definitely think it was a accident and not intended to hit Poland

And that's just as awful as anything else. They don't want to be doing this anymore than any of us want it

Nat6999 · 15/11/2022 21:41

Not a word from Rishi Sunak, surely he should be standing up to be counted? President Biden has a call booked with Poland & Polish troops to be put on standby.

Apparently he was given the Russian delegate a hard time in Bali today. He is probably being briefed now. I expect they all are.

The bastards were bombing central Kyiv and stray missiles hit Poland and killed two people. It wasn't a deliberate strike on Poland as far as I understand.

Kyiv isn't anywhere near Poland.

Tropics4 · 15/11/2022 21:52

Maybe it's now the moment the United Nations steps in...

Nope.

Puddywoodycat · 15/11/2022 21:52

I think people in Russia, those around Putin are probably panicking now.
Will be interesting to see the Russian delegation response!
I wonder if on Bali they can bug them

At least it's not Johnson or Truss. Putin will be sorry it's not Johnson or Truss.

Sunak will be being briefed. He needs the facts first, as we all do.

But Lviv is and it was also targeted by Russian missiles today.

I’m not hysterical. It’s my view Putin has been toying with this for a while - not convinced he’s that stable but what do we really know. If London is targeted it’s a wipe out, nothing we can do is there ?
Id just rather he didn’t.

There's a lot of world leaders actually able to talk to each other face to face rather than needing to make pointless public statements right now.

Polish soliders put on standby means very little in reality. It doesn't mean they are going anywhere. It might mean a bit more training...
