@Not_Barry asks âwhen do I call people traitors?â.
With a due sense of inevitable dread that will result in him saying âbut I didnât use the word traitorâ, I think this more than qualifies.

I was asked to evaluate some software from Belarus by one of my American colleagues. Fisher Price shit for people who canât put user interfaces together. Didnât like it. They were adamant. Might ask the question today âare we still buying this from Belarus?â

I think one of the biggest concerns I now have for the long term is increased military build up in the area. It seems to have gone under the radar and understandably so, but the change in Germanyâs posture is probably going to make a general war more, not less likely, in future.
I also donât think it has been discussed enough that the Soviet Union was invaded resulting in a death toll of almost thirty million and that they are understandably very paranoid about it happening again.
NATOâs expansion hasnât made them less paranoid, and I doubt that a fully armed and operational Germany is going to make them less paranoid either. Even if Putin achieves his short term aims, the long term can of worms from a Russian standpoint has got a lot squirmier.

Someone needs to make a first move here, because, as you say, this is gong escalate. The Russians (Putin) wonât because they cannot lose face and nor will the bordering nations because they are worried that they will be next
I cannot blame Germany for rearming or Finland for wanting to join NATO.
When you have seen your big aggressive neighbor burgle the house next door, you put on more locks, not leave the front door open
Yes.
If only Londongrad had actually seized all his cronies money and the EU had starved them of payments from day one.
But no, the fvckers will still be counting their cash and filing in expense claims while the planet is vapourised
An interesting move today. The Treasury has banned Lloyds of London from insuring / reinsuring the Russian airlines and space programme with immediate effect.
pretty much all aviation insurance goes through Lloyds at some point. Any carrier must have insurance to operate, so this will pretty much ground the Russian airlines. They wont be able to fly to countries who have not banned them

There is also the question of where Germanyâs military budget goes. Into a German military or into the mooted EU Army? With Germany as the leading power in the bloc, Iâm not which is a better option.

Well if you want the stuff used then Germany. If you want if tied up in warehouses for ever whilst the 27 squabble about what to do, then the EU

Crying âwhataboutery!â is a surefire way to avoid âanswering uncomfortable questionsâ and addressing glaring inconsistencies.

Blair is a war criminal and should be in the Hague, not too sure what the point of the post was? To legitimise Putinâs invasion? To legitimise Blairâs? To compare? What was the point of it?
To point out the inconsistencies?

And it was vaguely amusing in a sarcastic fashion.

Where are there inconsistencies? Blair in my eyes is a war criminal but quite obviously according to law he is not. According to law Putin has committed numerous war crimes so the comparison therefore is wrong, now if the Chilcot enquiry was enacted it would have been different I suspect but it wasnât.
You have to be fair.
796,000 refugees so far.
96,000 today alone.
Coincidentally the same number of inane gibberish words that one poster spouts daily
