I'm surprised they haven't appeared on the news yet and said "Ah yes, we invaded because they were making Steak and Kidney pies... but these were no ordinary Steak and Kidney pies.. they were also a CD Player"

Sort of shit I expect off russia now

"Jeremy Clarkson flew over the Russian border this week while filming for The Grand Tour.

The 61-year-old presenter has been in Scandinavia with his co-stars Richard Hammond and James May, and he casually shared a photo from the plane days after the Amazon Prime show’s team displayed solidarity for Ukraine amid Russian president Vladimir Putin’s invasion."

I dunno how I feel about this, seems a bit witch hunty, I wouldn't mind if it was anonymous and sanctions were applied, but I can see people being attacked...

It applies public pressure to russias foreign minister, publicly names his second family and threatens his londongrad holdings.

Indeed. Stolen from the Russian people.

Absolutely.

It seems that every minister has something to say about Ukraine, and massively bigging up our contribution which probably suggests why Boris is so popular in Ukraine.

The reality is that we're doing okay at sending aid but it appears we're terrible at the sanctions and the refugee part of it...

It's almost like the Ukraine war was perfect timing for the Government to distract from them being fucking liars.

Even Macron has pointed out the same thing. Disgraceful.

Don't really know why anyone's surprised.

I'm thinking that Putin would happily take Russia back communist now that the "economics" duck has been broken - China openly trading in a capitalist fashion, having billionaires etc. Russia could swing back the same way as long as stupendously rich people are allowed under whatever notional bullshit system can be self-justified.


(N.B. - in the same way our notional bullshit system is just as bullshit and nototional, so I'm not making any judgements here, just saying "wouldn't be surprised").

This is the start of Russia's journey to Chinese vassal status. Putin wants to recreate the Russian Empire but he's going to end up as part of a new Chinese one. I bet the CCP are passing themselves laughing.
