    The stories that will come out of this war at a later date will be very interesting.

    It is depressing trying to keep informed about the day's happenings but the constant drip flow of information, whether real or fake, slowly becomes like a drug that won't let one think straight.

    The world was bad enough as it was, and I cannot see who or what gave spewtin the right to make it worse.

    And I for one, father to 2 girls and Godfather t 2 lovely Brit-fil girls, after reading about russian soldiers raping small children and young teenagers and then killing them, would fully understand if Ukrainian soldiers do summarily execute russians proven to have been anywhere near the sites of civilian killings and abuse.

    I have seen footage of Russians being popped, but two wrongs don't make a right, when I was younger I would have thought yeah, shoot them in the head, nowadays I realise it wouldn't be the right thing :ninja:

    and this is what russians do to their own kind. God help us all if they do decide to spread across europe. Launch nukes first--ask questions later.

    Your inviting a vigilante stance, do you want the same in the UK for those who rape and abuse?

    Political stunt.

    Yes he is right to be there providing support, I don't object to that, the Ukrainians need all the visible support that they can get, but just be aware that him being in Kiev is not such a great risk at this time when the Russians have retreated, it's a photo op and should not be seen as something more than that.

    We need to be supporting them with military supplies , that would be substance, that would be doing something, we need to see if we actually do provide that help because our current support for refugees is pathetic in spite of all the rhetoric.

    Boris Johnson must judge how his wartime hero would react to challenges.
    Winston Churchill would never bow down to appeasers.

    I am not an appeaser, but there are those on here that would be.

    Johnson is not Churchill, Zelenskyy however is Churchill, Zelenskyy is a true leader.

    That is the point Boris aspires to be someone he often quotes and needs to be.
