You know what the saddest part is? I’ve literally just watched a live stream of the skyline of Kharkiv as furious anti air fire lights the night sky and explosions rock the city. This is what war is in the 21st century, tremendous pain, misery and suffering live-streamed to peoples iPhones as it happens.

Odessa has fallen. A city far, far from eastern Ukraine. Where over 1 million people inhabit. Taken by amphibious Russian troops.

This has been building up but today is a momentous day. Maybe it is having children myself but thinking of all the Ukrainians fleeing their home and trying to have to explain why to their child is really upsetting.

So sad but so predictable. This is bloody tragic and could so easily escalate .

The White House is empty and Russia, China and Israel know this full well.
Nothing happened for 4 years and now looky looky at the “free world”, an incontinent old man in the US, a photo model cringe woke turd in Canada and a chancer opportunist in Britain. Europe has been run by white bearded politburo for a number of years, they couldn’t organise a bunk up in Bangkok.
While the west has been killing itself with focus on altruism and notions of egalitarianism, other nations who retained their notion of patriotism and self interest are about to eat the world. Watch Taiwan go next.
Ukraine is a massively important strategic place for both Europe and Russia and it’s no surprise this has happened.
If the Ukraine didn’t push on with its plan to join nato and the EU there would still be peace, calling the bluff of Russia on their own doorstep shows how stupid these people are.
Good luck to us if we have to fight a major war now, with our youth, who are highly skilled in kindness and tolerance. Well done for removing notions of patriotism and making it somewhat of a dirty word.
The end of the supremacy of the west is beginning, right now, before your very eyes. Your kids aren’t going to be the royalty of the world anymore.
Like the last days of Rome, we’ve been sniffing the enchanting flowers in the garden and have been carefully crafting a kinder world, where we focus less on work. We are obsessed with pointless diversions, while the emergent powers have been slogging themselves, working to become our new masters, educating their kids properly and showing respect for the place they come from.
Our societies are becoming a convoluted mess of division. We have only ourselves to blame, and to be fair, a lot of said it was going to happen.

It's the thought of Russia and China teaming up thst terrifies me. China have not only refused to take sanctions against Russia but are reportedly going to help support them financially while dealing with the sanctions around the world. Scary times.

We are just facing what the rest of the world had to deal with post war. The US has bases all over Asia and Europe and were the dominant power for a lifetime. You should see China now, it makes Britain look like a dump. |

Try living in one of their "apartment" blocks. China is a dystopian shithole with a facade of steel and glass. |

😂😂😂 Where do these people come from? Assumingly the gulf of Aden? The Gulf of Aden is a deepwater gulf between Yemen to the north, the Arabian Sea to the east, Djibouti to the west, and the Guardafui Channel, Socotra, Somalia and Somalia to the south. In the northwest, it connects with the Red Sea through the Bab-el-Mandeb strait, and it connects with the Arabian Sea to the east. |

He chose Gulf of Aden because it was full of pirates, hence the tentative Rovers connection. Gulf of Guinea would probably have been more appropriate as the Gulf of Aden is less of an issue these days as I understand it. |
