Are we about to get dragged into something very messy?

I'm leaving that rather nonsensical quote/reply to show what's happening with the new Xenforo release.

Putin may or may not be as much of a nutter as Stalin, but he's under control and not controlling.

 

When you've fought along side of the American army, you can tellnme whats there like,
I worked along side them in Iraq and 3 tours of Afghanistan, they still think they are the best, there mainly only friends with us for our special forces, SAS, SBS, PARAS and MARINES.
I know exactly what a mercenary is as I've been approached to be one.
A lot the the money that supported the IRA came from America as they sometimes used M16s

 

This is just embarrassing. Now the EU is bribing Ukraine to not back down.

It couldn't be more obvious what this is about. No wonder Russia is upset. They're in a game of tug of war with them on one side, and an embarrassingly sly empire of bureaucrats on the other.

 

Why does the EU want to help out a "debt laden country"????
Dont we have enough of them already?

 

This is something I have often wondered, and have yet to find anything even close to a logical answer, but then as we know, the EU is often illogical, so maybe we're looking at it from the wrong angle, trying to apply common sense and all.

There was a very tenuous propaganda event on telly last night that might come within a million miles of a vague reason. It was a special edition of 'Food Unwrapped' (you know, the documentary series that explains where much of our every day groceries come from). Apparently a lot of our cheap chicken products come from Ukraine. The hint seemed to be, we need to look after Ukraine if we want to keep eating cheap minced chicken based products. That's the best I've seen so far. I'm still waiting for someone to tell me that Ukraine has great hidden wealth, or the best science and engineering skills and equipment, or perhaps a formidable military setup or something that would be of great benefit to the union, but so far, its just minced chicken based products so far.

There is an oil and gas infrastructure running through Ukraine on its way to western Europe and Britain, but the Russians own and control that, and we have no chance of surviving any attempt to steal from the Russians, so I can't see that that's got anything to do with this one, so that takes us back to, cheap minced chicken based products again.

 

Here we go. I've found it.

Wasn't it Ukraine that had all those old rusting nuclear powered ships and subs just rotting away in port a few years back, or am I getting mixed up with another part of Russia.

 

The US is starting to export Shale Gas as of next year.

I blame the situation in the Ukraine on our president Barraco Barner

 

UK & US rule out military intervention: Russia actually has WMDs

 

Apparently the Russians keep testing us. There's this fairly innocent report on the BBC:

And the same incident as reported by government themselves:

And then the Daily Fail's portrayal of the same incident.
