  1. As others have said, Finland needs to defend its borders and simply not let these people in.

  2. What Hamas did at that music festival was like something straight out a some fantasy horror story. Orcs descending on some peaceful village celebration and butchering everyone they could. Is it any wonder that so many of us regard the likes of Hamas as sub-human?

  3. Let's call this out for exactly what it is. It's DISHONEST. There's no difference between doing this and putting the price up except that it's a deliberate attempt to mislead customers. When the contents is reduced, or ingredients changed, companies should be obliged by law to display the fact very prominently on the packaging.

  4. Together with the hammering that Russian forces are taking in Ukraine, Finland's and Sweden's decision to join NATO really emphasizes what a complete and utter screw up Putin has made. For a campaign that he promised would only last a few days, with minimal losses, he has killed many more Russians than in the entire Soviet Afghanistan war. He has also caused two countries that previous had no intention of doing so to seek NATO membership. This might just be the catalyst that prompts the "removal" from power of Putin and his so-called "strong men".

  5. Because no one is that stupid. Negotiating with Putin would be like Chamberlain's 1938 Munich negotiations with Adolf Hitler.

  6. This looks like a job for Navy Seals, using rebreather apparatus to stealthily transport a large shaped explosive charge to take out a support pillar from under the water. A good dive team could deal with all of Russia's defensive measures, and would be next to impossible to detect if the operation was carried out at night.

  7. Has Putin sent you your daily banana allowance for this post?

  8. Dictators need strong armies to keep them in power.

  9. Sorry, I strongly support Ukraine, but I don't think they have made good use of their Storm Shadow missiles. Why is the Kerch bridge still intact? Why haven't Russian bases in Crimea, and near the Ukraine border been obliterated?

  10. As a British taxpayer I want to see these missiles used ASAP to completely and permanently take out Putin's beloved Kerch bridge.

  11. All these protesters have done so far is bleat like frightened sheep. And the result is that the security forces have slaughtered them like sheep. Dictators don't willingly relinquish power. If Iranians want to oust the clerics then they are going to have to FIGHT HARD for their freedom.

  12. Even somebody as thick as Prigozhin should have realised that if you start a mutiny against Putin, and don't follow it through, then he is definitely going to try and kill you.

  13. And Putin loving YouTube is removing comments suggesting the sinking of the offending ships.

  14. Trump's Golden Dome is about as realistic as a Warp Drive engine. Imagine all the good that totally wasted money could do.

  15. I think we all know that in his heart of hearts Macron is a dictator.

  16. Belarus's Fat Dictator will be very reluctant to send his own troops, or the Russian ones in his country, out of Belarus. Because this is all that's keeping him in power. Without their protection there's a good chance that he will be taken out and lynched!

  17. Why so much opposition? Would you like to be told that you would have to work more years before retirement? Would you also like to see the legislation bulldozed through without a vote: contrary to the democratic process?

  18. They don't tell us anything, as all these strikes came from within Moscow, and were the work of Putin's own FSB goons. Don't forget that Putin has previously attacked his own in order to frighten people into supporting him.

  19. That before will be a lot sooner if the US pulls support from Ukraine and allows Putin to win, because that will give Emperor Xi the green light for his invasion.
