That attack on Grozny in the First Chechen War was.... pretty ugly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) I also believe that so many Leaders do like their wars. You just knowthe media thrive on bad news rather than good and the more graphic they are allowed. And I'm convinced Leaders quite enjoy flexing their military. Now US Military say the UK Military is no longer a top fighting force. Behind so many other nations. But of course we are allowed nuclear.

nevermind, neoliberalism has had it 159 Posted January 31, 2023 I suppose that they are fighting for a comprehensive security agreement in Europe and to stop the ever expanding hegemony by NATO attack dogs doing Bidens bidding. At least we now know why this war is kept getting fanned with 'best before' dated weapons. https://archive.is/DxeaN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, do you know what you're fighting for then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nevermind, neoliberalism has had it 159 Posted January 31, 2023 nope I will not fight for any malignant forces, east or west, but I'll fight for my family and friends should this be needed. BTW what has happened to the Norwich flag once proudly over City Hall? Have they lost it in there? Maybe I should hire one for the day to remind tourists to this beautiful City what it looks like. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might be scared of the flag triggering a Norwich nationalist movement maybe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
