I'd sit downstairs with the little @&*^%##$ bundle of joy and watch live streaming of the action at the front. Can't remember what channel it was on, but they had cameras showing the advance. Some times with commentary. I did wonder if there was any sort of delay on it, or whether Iraqi peeps could be watching the same pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time sure flies. was thinking of finding the Russia thread , but I read an article the other week by someone who has kinda pretty much predicted every move Putin has made , usually when he is having a dip in the opinion polls .. His prediction is that Putin's next target would be Finland or Sweden ... obviously he didn't mean sending troops into Helsinki etc but a grab at somewhere like Gotland up near the arctic .. his theory is kinda backed up by this little reported 45 day notice for Naval shipping to enter the Northern sea routes that Russia announced as policy could be interesting ....

KenjiOgiwara Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) Dunno about that. Starting wars in Scandinavia could easily involve countries he has not interest in pissing off, such as yourselves. Ukraine is unfortunately a country nobody in the west gives a toss about. I did wonder however how the invasion of Crimea was timelined next to the oil price crash. Edited March 21, 2019 by KenjiOgiwara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
