Popped over for an hour

Imagine coming all the way from Russia on the recommendation of a friend to see Salisbury and only spending an hour there.
The guy on the left looks very nervous to me.

What a load of shite.
The profile of their trip makes no sense in any context bar the poisoning.
Not known for their honesty though the Russians...

Re: Popped over for an hour
It's just Putin saying to the UK.: "No we didn't,,,, prove it" (aka; Come & get it, if you think you're hard enough - you wooses)
On the subject, I see he's prep'ping his forces with a little exercise. Presumably he'll want tp see it's all running smoothly for when he starts to "step in to keep the peace" after Europe starts to collapse into civil unrest ( As a result of his successful strategies of fuelling the exodus of refugees, together with manipulating political processes to undermine global unity).
....no doubt you'll want to size me up for a tin foil hat.

Re: Popped over for an hour
That's a huge exercise he's got going. I bet NATO couldn't muster those numbers.
And for what it's worth, I'm with you 100% We've got the weakest Government in power for more than a generation and everyone is worried/distracted about Corbyn

& with many of NATO's participating countries already struggling to justify any spending on their military, that's unlikely to improve.?Kwacky wrote:........ I bet NATO couldn't muster those numbers...
I should imagine that these days his troops will be far better equipped & trained than those reluctant conscript schoolboys with their ex-WW2 kit, who we could run rings round in the 'stans.

Re: Popped over for an hour
Even without the invested technology they'll swamp Europe with sheer weight of numbers.

Re: Popped over for an hour
We don't have numbers it's all down to being smart technology in warfare now days, I can't see it myself wipe out the communications and electronics all you are left with is a man/woman and a gun. So yes numbers win every time and we don't have them.
We all know that the cyber side of stuff is also very much delevloped by the Russians and others.
Could get very tricky if a new dictator decided he wanted world domination

Re: Popped over for an hour
We've buggered up with our military might, all the Russians would have to do is knock at our door or knock it down and walk in...depending how polite they want to be. They do test our RAF a bit though by flying near our air space
