Meanwhile, back in Kiev....

[Seth]

How much trouble should we tolerate from a region before we wash our hands of it?

Well, since the UK, along with the US, China and Russia signed an agreement to defend Ukraine's borders as a condition of their giving up their nuclear weapons, you'll have to tolerate it a bit more...and perhaps go fight Russians... if you leaders aren't as fucking cowardly as Obama is.

I bet everybody in Ukraine is saying "What a fucking stupid idea to give up our nuclear arsenal on the word of Brits and Americans..."

Let's see... the US has taken the lead in every conflict the UK was ostensibly part of since the Falklands, so how about we sit this one out and you lazy fucks go honor your commitments this time? We'll send over a squad or two to make a pro-forma showing of the flag, but watch out, those two dozen guys might embarrass your country by actually kicking some Russian ass.

Nah, we've been there done that while you lot were still recovering for shooting each other.

Wayback Machine fallacy. What have you done for whirled peas lately? Not very much I'm afraid.

[Audley Strange]

Not a fallacy at all. Because if it was then you should shut the fuck up since your argument itself is subject to the same. Anyway the States has done nothing of any note in the last half hour. Too busy getting excited about golden dildos being handed out for obvious nonsense I guess.

Fuck fighting the Russians no fucking way. I meet enough of them when I'm in Turkey and every single one of them looks like an 'Action Man' model (G. I. Joe to you yankypoos) they are hard as fuck and nothing phases them. Count me out though every other Russian woman I see looks like a super model so the spoils of war and all that if you survived being torn limb from limb that is

Jesus fucking Christ an average day for a Russian motorist, God almighty.

[Hermit]

...every single one of them looks like an 'Action Man' model...
...every other Russian woman I see looks like a super model...

DaveDodo, generalisations are always wrong.

...an average day for a Russian motorist...

And never exaggerate. I told you that a billion times.

[pErvinalia]

I think we need to nuke the entire northern hemisphere and start again.

[DaveDodo007]

I think we need to nuke the entire northern hemisphere and start again.

With what, you don't have any nukes.

[Svartalf]

Dreamtime demons are more powerful than nukes... now, whether you can convince Aboriginal shamans to unleash them, that's another thing.

We are the Yanks best friend. They will give us the nukes to nuke them and the rest of the northern hemisphere. Then you lot can sort your shit out and start over again.

[JimC]

Chicken, Kiev!

[rainbow]

I think we need to nuke the entire northern hemisphere and start again.

I'm against nukes in general since it sears the flesh and makes it quite unpalatable.

[JimC]

Perhaps the British and French should send a joint task force to the Crimea?

[Calilasseia]

If the Ukrainians are smart, they'll strike a bargain with the Russians.

"You can have half of Sevastopol, provided you also take the whole of Pripyat".

[DaveDodo007]

Probably best to listen to some historians for an insight to the current crisis.

[mistermack]

The west has been incredibly stupid in the lead-up to this confrontation.

If they had employed just the minimum of foresight, they would have let the Russians win the Ice Hockey.

How many people are going to die, just because of the selfishness of the Canadians?

[SnowLeopard]

Keep your two dozen trigger happy badly trained cowboys at home. It might stop them from a repeat demonstration of their unparalleled skill at dropping bombs on our soldiers like they did in Iraq.

Oh your soldiers might embarrass our soldiers?? Really?? It took your soldiers 10 years to find Bin Laden. And where did these soldiers end up finding him?

IN HIS HOUSE.

It took you 10 years to find the worlds most famous man living in HIS OWN FUCKING HOUSE and you really think the rednecks you are appeased to call soldiers have a chance of kicking Russian arse?

Good luck with that.

Let's see... the US has taken the lead in every conflict

Let's see. Maybe you should stop fucking starting them then.
