What's his ultimate aim? If he continues his strategy of destabilising former Soviet states especially NATO affiliated countries, how do we retaliate? I personally believe he/Russia, pose a significantly greater threat than ISIS.

How old are you, sonny

Fuck off. ????

By we, do you mean 'we UK', 'we Europe' or 'we NATO' Ukraine as an independent sovereign state wanted closer links to both Europe and NATO. That's hardly meddling.

Why would NATO be getting involved in Ukraine?

He's fucking up my sourcing strategy for 2016, the cunt!

Maybe if we weren't twatting about in Ukraine he wouldn't be retaliating. Meddling in other peoples affairs, again

Spot on

 

The stupid EU pushed him, he's responded

How old are you, sonny

Obviously not old enough to remember the Cuban missile crisis.

Looking at it, mostly ethnic Russian, why would it be a problem? Bear in mind I had never heard of it 5 minutes ago

 

russian territory, slap bang in the middle of NATO?

I was 8.

adidas exhibition out there next week, that's the last we've seen of it.

So contrary to your post you have witnessed a " greater threat in your lifetime?"

Ukranian Nylon?

Lithuania & I'm into cotton these days It has gone off my short list as I'm not convinced Putin won't start looking at there & Latvia. I was hoping to avoid Romania & Bulgaria as I wasn't sure anyone was still living over there.

It depends how you read it. I meant greater threat THAN the Cuban crisis.

So you think this current situation is worse than when we were within days of nuclear annihilation? No wonder you have got negative response to your thread

I haven't said it is worse, yet. I said there hasn't been a greater threat since the Cuban crisis. I don't expect everyone to agree so if there is a negative response, that's good for debate surely.

Check back. You said it was the greatest threat in your lifetime NOT since CC.My point was that whilst this has serious potential for escalation we are a long way off the Kennedy/ Kruschev stand off of the early 60's. You of course may wish to differ as implied earlier.

Putin concerns me hugely. That said, there is little doubt that there was encouragement from various places for an uprising in Ukraine, then the new government starts going on about banning folk from speaking Russian, when its the language of many in the east of the country. Gave Putin the perfect excuse to go in, and take his peoples minds off a poor economic situation in his own country.

what are all modern wars about ££££££££

War?

What is it good for?

I hope Putin stays away from Lithuania as we are there in October, I'm looking forward to my 57th birthday, my 30th wedding anniversary and England winning

War?

What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing

Say it again

It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker. Friend only to the undertaker
