QUOTE (Phil_D11102 @ Mar 8 2022, 10:40 AM) Actually it was that unused nuclear deterrent that stretched the Russian Bear and the Warsaw Pact to the breaking point. NATO, with their professional troops and agreement to deploy cruise missles in 5 countries won the day over the bear who couldn't compete and it"s allies who simply became too disgruntled to put up with then bear anymore. It is that simple. It was NATO not the loony smelly left that won the day. Do you think a peace camp ouside the Kremlin would last 5 minutes. Sadly, just like after WWI, the loses are again upset and NATO year in and year out have been keeping less combat trrops in a position to be deployed quickly. The only good thing post Cold War is the former Warsaw pact countries joing NATO. The nuclear deterrent did work, but we didnt learn from past history.f It's perhaps telling that Ukraine once held a third of the Soviet Union's atomic weapons and agreed to denuclearise after a treaty was signed that in effect guaranteed Ukrainian safety and independence. A treaty that was signed with, yes, Russia as co signatory. One wonders if Putin would be so blase about slaughtering civilians had Ukraine held on to a few tactical nukes? 🤔 |

QUOTE (x2lls @ Jan 26 2022, 10:11 PM) Thoughts? Probably asylum seekers / migrants. If we let them in we have a duty to house and feed them. The only annoying thing is no-one step up and let the people know. Course, could be famous celeb / crappy TV show has hired the whole place. Who knows? Who cares? It is what it is. |

QUOTE (SirWilliam @ Aug 28 2020, 06:06 PM) My argument with the BBC is they are lowering their impartial status in order to compete with those other outlets you have mentioned. Bit like the Times or Torygraph using a monosyllabic headlined front page in order to compete with the Mirror, (other useless tabloids are available), but only resulting in alienating their core readership. The fact that they now want 150 odd quid of my pension for the privilege is purely academic. Sorry chap, but regrettably, the lifestyle you ordered is currently out of stock. Please try again later. |
