Oh yes, I expect so. Though I might just hide behind one of the now-redundant covid sofas until it's all over.0 -

Also seems a number of people here have zero idea about how investment decisions are made on occupational pension schemes. (Doesn't excuse the TRUSTEES of the Kentucky scheme though.)0 -

Trouble is the US has managed to reinterpret the rules so much that it is hard to imagine Russia worrying about them too much.0

Regular forces still abide, the problem is irregular that countries use..

It was fairly regular forces that bombed the MSF hospital, no? That's a randomly chosen event from many.MattFalle said:Regular forces still abide, the problem is irregular that countries use.

Neither of us gas any knowledge of international law, but brief reading is that the laws apply to "belligerents". One of the duties under Geneva convention is to declare war, so the fact that Russia are belligerents but have not declared war is itself a breach.MattFalle said:

I thought i'd add my two penny worth! Putin invokes Nukes over Ukraine, we run away... Putin can therefore go into Latvia etc and shout "Nukes" and we wont invoke art5
Have i missed anything? because for the life of me, if we wont try and stop genocide, then why on earth would we help a small Baltic state.
But of course, without the USA (and their re enforcement of eastern Europe has been pathetic) Nato can do little & its likely as not the Republicans will win in 2024 and a POTUS who is in the imagine of Trump (or Trump himself) will not come to Europes aid for the Baltic's, so thats the end of Nato.
So all Putin has to do is wait and at 69, he has years of warmongering life left in him.
What the west also needs to realise is the capture of Ukraine will leave him in an unassailable position, he will have been proven right.
Anyway, i'm going back to re building my TCR.0 -
If he attacks a Nato country it will be defended with conventional warfare.
If he attacks a Nato country with nuclear weapons there will be a commensurate response.
I don't think this applies to Georgia or Moldova, because I don't think the EU would act as one, millitarily.0 -
I mean the guy is known for shelling residential areas to dust so probably thinks of them more as guidelines at best. If it goes up he'll cross his fingers for an easterly, but probably still not that bothered.MattFalle said:

I should say that the evidence suggests that the Russian military wouldn't stand much of a chance against a nato force. They seem just about able to create havoc against mostly civilians, but even that's a struggle.First.Aspect said:If he attacks a Nato country it will be defended with conventional warfare.

Interesting to see loopholes in sanctions. Perhaps the dockers should have unloaded and the LNG then be ceased by UK Govt.

ah, there will always be loopholes in any legislation until someone exploits them and people realise they are there and they're closed.Dorset_Boy said:Interesting to see loopholes in sanctions. Perhaps the dockers should have unloaded and the LNG then be ceased by UK Govt.

its why some lawyers are very clever and Nadine Dorres is as #thickaspigshit
in this case though its probably - nay, definitly - down to some corrupt Tory politician taking a backhander to issue drafting instructions allowing this to happen..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

remember also that declaring war/accepting a declaration of war allows you to access a whole load of both international and domestic resources.

Probably a few days behind the times but I just saw a clip about Dianne Abbot discussing Russia's invasion of Croatia. She is the gift that just keeps giving.
