Failed Imagineer posted:Hard to get mad at loony Unionist takes, they're just so loving stupid. I guess if I was up in Belfast and had these weirdos up in my face on a regular basis it would be more galling, but as it stands I read this stuff like He's Scottish, and Chairman of the Scottish Unionists which makes it more hilarious. I can understand if it was from someone from East Belfast, whose only knowledge of Ireland is from the football chants at Linfield. But this dude, is living in Edinburgh, probably surrounded in anti-brexit poo poo, and still thinks the Irish are oppressors.

As far as I am aware the UK is not planning any military intervention, nor is anybody else for that matter, and the UK is frankly anaemic in their willingness to take economic action as well despite being host to quite a lot of assets of wealthy and influential russian nationals.

The disjoint between the frenzied government rhetoric and their blank refusal to stop taking cash from Russian oligarchs is quite a thing.

Actually, I think you'll find that quite a lot will happen, because this is a perfect situation to purge and delegitimise the left. Even as we do gently caress all internationally, domestic politics is going to reach new heights of frenzied insanity.

Only in the sense that the UK is a member of the military alliance that was formed to oppose Russia, Russia is invading a neighbour, and Russia also has neighbours that are in the same alliance as the UK that are looking nervously to their own borders now (most relevantly Latvia, which is trying to call a NATO formal consultation as it does every time Russia gets belligerent). As of now there’s no reason to think that this will lead to a wider conflict that involves NATO and nobody on the NATO side agitating for a military response beyond “maybe get ready in case Russia does this to a NATO member next.” It’s also possible this drives Finland closer to NATO membership. The UK has no ability to act independently on any of this and the FO would do us all a favour by shutting the gently caress up and releasing bland statements like “we stand with our NATO allies and condemn the invasion of Ukraine,” but Tories gonna pretend it’s still 1864 I guess.

Wasn't expecting to wake up to ground invasion of Ukraine. Thought he'd stick to Donbas. Been funny watching Johnson try and act like NATO gives a poo poo about what he has to say about it though.

Boomers are currently living through yet another war, and if the shock wave from a jet doing practice runs knocks one of their bins over then by god there will be an article about avocado toast and how easy we non-boomers have it before the sun sets
