Ukraine Russia War #14

[OnlyHereForTheLolz]

Honestly as hard as it is, it’s not worth worrying about and taking away your enjoyment of your trip.

Last time I went to London I let my anxiety get the better of me convinced something horrific was gonna happen any second now and was on the verge of having a severe panic attack on a packed tube at rush hour and…nothing bad happened. I think people are just on higher alert considering everything going on.

Someone accidentally leaving one of their many bags somewhere in a rush will be seen as a potential security threat. Of course it’s important we are vigilant but life is too short to let it stop us enjoying ourselves and finding happiness in the little things. Have a great time ❤

I’m sorry to hear your anxiety is so bad. It’s easy to let fear get the better of us.
I’ll see on the day if I feel like using the underground. But tbh I think if it’s your time it’s your time. I might use the overground instead and get run over by a taxi Those London taxi’s have no chill

They will be operating a state black when it comes to suspicious parcels baggage or anything suspicious. It just means everyone is on high alert.
All these controlled explosions just means people are taking more notice of anything left unattended

How is everyone feeling this week? The difference in weekly reporting VS basically hearing nothing on weekends is crazy

Plus a lot of the kids and family of the oligarchs et al are over here enjoying not being in Russia, the warning sign for world war three is when they leave en masse:

This is actually the most reassuring thing I’ve read in the last couple of weeks, logically I know the nuclear threats are meant to concern and destabilise the western world (and scary newspaper headlines are to get clicks rather than give real information) but it’s easy to get sucked into thinking that we’re going to die a painful death or live through societal collapse in the next few months. Stuff like this reminds me that it’s all a game to politicians and I shouldn’t worry too much about it either.

France and UK might be sending in the troops

Discussions over sending European troops to Ukraine reignited

With the prospect of American disengagement from Kyiv following Donald Trump's return to the White House, Paris and London are not ruling out leading a military coalition in Ukraine.

Exactly, when all the Russians flee the UK that's really when we need to start shitting ourselves

Diplomatic ping-pong, spies everywhere, UK staff being thrown out

Downing Street denies Russian claims expelled UK diplomat a spy

A Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman says the British ambassador had also been summoned.

Plus a statement updating the list of declared-evil British for their support of the 'neo nazi Kiev regime' (yes they are still doing that one) - English version pending one presumes - for the impatient, it does have English-lettering versions of the names.
Russia Foreign Ministry:
Внешняя политика Новости Foreign Policy News 26.11.2024 18:12

Foreign Ministry statement on personal sanctions against representatives of the British political establishment, the military bloc, paramilitary organisations and the journalistic corps

Not sure if it's the entire government front bench but probably not far off...

To be fair, Russia has been at war with the west for over a decade now, it's just that the west is finally waking up to it now that it's more overt.

icl, I think the west has known about this for a while.

Known about it, sure. But refused to take it seriously or act on it. Head in sand and whatnot, likely because it's not been a war of "traditional" methods. Easier to dismiss and/ignore? Either way, we're all in it now.

Has everybody seen the increased 'drone' activity over RAF Lakenheath and Mildenhall? Reddit is convinced they are UFO's but there is a lot of chat about them being from Russia or China. There has been minor news interest, but not a lot. People going down to watch\film them are being asked to move on by MOD\USAF staff.

It's one of those 'technically speaking' things, everything on radar without a transponder is a UFO until someone says e.g. 'FFS James Bond in his bloody gyrocopter again' though a little more seriously these aren't likely to be aliens, they will be spies or stooges or curious people looking to see if there's anything interesting going on at the airbases.

But because there's a high chance of the drone being shot or transmission poinpointed if you haven't made sure to use an untraceably purchased device and beenready to drive off before anyone reaches you and that suggests a bit more than 'merely curious'.


In short - no aliens - guaranteed to be spies and their stooges, definitely 'not friendlies'.

That is potentially promising but TBH not overly optimistic, I think it depends on Putin being reasonable...

Link:

Zelenskyy suggests 'hot phase' of Ukraine war could end in return for NATO membership if offered - even if seized land isn't returned immediately

The Ukrainian president told Sky News's chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay NATO membership would have to be offered to unoccupied parts of the country in order to end the "hot phase of the war", as long as the NATO invitation itself recognises Ukraine's internationally recognised borders.

Seems to be a join now, phased return of land later and hope that Putin stops the attacks in the meantime. End goal is Putin doesn't keep any of the occupied land.

OTOH might be a 'put up or shut up', weapons or membership but depends on all NATO members agreeing and there's at least one that I suspect won't.
