Yea, money to buy weapons. That's what they asked for, but we are neutral in the fact of evil. In fairness we are consistent.I agree that we should have given Ukraine anything we have that they could use.
There's a well worn diktat “there is no such thing as friendly intelligence agencies, there are only intelligence agencies of friendly powers”. Same goes in matters of national security. No alliance precludes actions against those you are in an alliance with. Fundamentally, you need your own capability and your own information in order to make any assessments. Relying on friendly forces is grand for training, ad hoc logistics etc. For 'tip of the spear' stuff you need absolute and total control.
I wonder how will SF propose to manage the withdrawal of the NATO umbrella from a lot of British and Irish citizens?
Absolutely.I think the fact that the recent nuclear simulation by russian tv explicitely showed ireland being engulfed by a wave and that the Russian navy carried out exercises close to our coast right before the Ukraine invasion shows that we are in fact in their crosshairs and they see us as a vulnerability.
There are absolutely no guarantees we could conceivably offer. Zero. We don't have the ability to carry out even basic detection and observation of hostile forces, yet alone engage them militarily.Of course the british and US must have already picked up on this change in approach, the US multinationals with alot of capital now invested here might start looking for more guarantees about our defence capabilities.
With over 30 odd "diplomats" accredited to the FSB operation in Orwell Road, you think they aren't already targeting those companies?Could the Russians look to target US tech companies here especially the likes of Intel that manufacture the microchips that are vital for most electronic devices including high tech armaments.
No, it shows us as entirely inconsequential. That graphic was a warning shot to the UK.I think the fact that the recent nuclear simulation by russian tv explicitely showed ireland being engulfed by a wave and that the Russian navy carried out exercises close to our coast right before the Ukraine invasion shows that we are in fact in their crosshairs and they see us as a vulnerability.
It shows that we are beside the guys in the crosshairs. We're acceptable collateral damage. We're as important as the guy who was couch surfing in Osama's gaff when the SEAL's went in.No, it shows us as entirely inconsequential. That graphic was a warning shot to the UK.
My Russian is a bit rusty, but the video refers to the 'British Isles'. https://twitter.com/i/status/1520846423629213699No, it shows us as entirely inconsequential. That graphic was a warning shot to the UK.
Of course that's true but it also shows that we are the weak spot if they want to get at Britain.No, it shows us as entirely inconsequential. That graphic was a warning shot to the UK.
Of course they’re monsters and psychos. I do get a tad worried that we are getting a very biased slant on the Russian operation.“SKY News” said:Mark Ayres has spent the past two months in Ukraine after joining the Azov Regiment, which originated as a far-right paramilitary unit. The British Army veteran insists he has challenged some Azov fighters over their beliefs and those he has met are not "monsters and psychos".
The TV report starts with 'Another option is to plunge Britain into the depths of the sea', and is a continuation of their output directed specifically at the UK for their role in the ever more powerful weapons being supplied to Ukraine.My Russian is a bit rusty, but the video refers to the 'British Isles'. https://twitter.com/i/status/1520846423629213699
Good background info here. They are most definitely neo-Nazi in their ideals and their history.Of course they’re monsters and psychos. I do get a tad worried that we are getting a very biased slant on the Russian operation.
Allegedly.BTW Hitler’s grandfather was a Jew.
Nothing wrong with being a JewAllegedly.
No not neutrality any more. It seems we are too mature for that now. In future Simon and 100 boy scouts will give us all the protection we need.But, but, but, surely our precious, cherished and beloved neutrality will protect us from all harm. Someone should really explain it to that chap on the video and make sure to tell that nice Mr Putin also. Maybe Ming-n-Mick-n-Claire could have a word with their pals in Moscow. We'll be grand then. Apparently radioactive fallout respects neutrality too and will automatically avoid us. Happy days!
Why on earth would they see us as any kind of threat? To think that NATO would need any of our infrastructure makes no sense, there is literally nothing to be gained militarily from parking all your kit on an unprotected island only to have to move it on again. Why would Ireland be a better landing spot that any number of better protected mainland Europe and have direct rail and road access all the way to Moscow.as i said in previous thread we have always been in the russian crosshairs a first strike to prevent nato from ever using our airports and sea ports to help resupply nato units
First of all, Russia don't have such a weapon, and second, why would they go to all that bother when they could just press a button in a far off control room? They'd be relying on something substantial coming into contact with a mine for detonation. Besides that, trying to roll a mine off the back of a tanker is a sure fire recipe for disaster.just a simple nuclear naval mine rolled off the back of a ship like the one delivering oil from russia
Naval movements are observed from space, you don't need a lad standing on a cliff with binoculars to see what's going on.or watch russian navy movements ?
