I suspect you don’t actually know how it works.

I'm inclined to agree Chris as politicians and parts of the media don't know the difference.

What do you think of this speech by Putin though?

Is it real of a fake translation made to look real?

For the first time in my life I’m regretting not taking Russian at school (yes, my school offered Russian to GCSE and A level, in the 1980s) …. I don’t know, it sounds plausible, and even if you just watch it on mute there’s something a bit Adolf in his mannerisms.

Well, I do not believe that the World Court ruling will change Putin’s mind or influence him at all. And if it is agreed he should be prosecuted for war crimes, it will not happen while he is in office or while stays in his own country afterwards.

So as I said, it’s impotent.

For the president of one of the five permanent members of the security council, and a major nuclear power, which has permanent ambitions to play a leading role in geopolitics, to have to stay within his own borders for fear of arrest and extradition, is a major penalty.

Such consequences hardly represent impotence.

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine

Had this conversation with someone the other day. If Jeremy Corbyn had won 2019 election, he would almost certainly have:

Taken UK out of NATO
Dropped Trident nuclear deterrent.
Cut defence spending, lower size of the Army
With the above, made UK a more viable Russian target.

.
And where we are now - Quite possibly, have refused military aid to Ukraine.

Thankfully, we dodged a massive bullet.

Quite so.

Meanwhile Russia is supplying Ukraine with equipment.

Quote:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy joked that Russian troops were supplying arms to Ukraine because so much of their equipment has been captured or abandoned.

Not a big fan of Corbyn, but none of those things were in the Labour Manifesto.

From Forces.net at the time, a comparison of the two parties.

Quote:

The Labour Party has launched its manifesto.

What is it pledging on defence?

To increase funding for United Nations peacekeeping missions to £100 million.
To maintain a commitment to NATO and "close relationship" with European partners.
To support the renewal of Trident, but to lead efforts to create a "nuclear-free world".
To spend at least 2% of GDP on defence.

And all Tax Free.

Quote:

It’s not often that tax can lift people’s spirits but Ukrainian authorities may have done just that, assuring citizens that any Russian military equipment they seize won’t need to be declared for tax purposes.

I don’t know if you fell asleep during previous Labour campaigns with Corbyn at the helm, but he’s on record, saying he would never authorise a nuclear strike, even in retaliation, along with his cronies, Diane Abbott, John McDonnell etc, voicing hatred towards Trident.

The Spectator is treating that unhinged Putin rant video as genuine.
