I know Lincoln is the last sitting president to come under fire. I think you’re right. All the visits I know of by FDR / LBJ / GWB were to installations away from an action.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
more nonsense obviously, but something new...
Interesting to hear that Biden visited Ukraine but unfortunately I think at some point this week Russia will launch a huge attack on Ukraine and probably specifically Kiev in retaliation.
What makes you think that?
Looking at @Simbo 's post can make you think that Russia will escalate tomorrow, somehow. But of course it would be weird to announce an offensive this way.
An attack on Kyiv would come from the north i would presume, there have been no reports of large Russian troop concentrations in Belarus or Bryansk Oblast so any attack on Kyiv in the near future is very unlikely if you ask me.

The most funny thing is that they’re screaming at your face in a fully transparent and open way: “we are fighting the war of genocide and conquest” and then you still have people @ExoduS claiming totally opposite. It’s so ridiculous, this is beyond my level of comprehension what goes through the mind of theirs.
Some fight war for national security at their borders and others in Iraq, Libya, Syria and Afghanistan.
It's fake.
Spot on, that is exactly what Ukraine is fighting for. On Syria and Afghanistan I also agree with you, Russia had no business attacking those countries.
What national security? They’re so worried about their national security that they have pulled all their army into Ukraine from all their borders, including with Nato countries and Japan with which they have an open border dispute. How do you explain that?
Only explanation is that Ukraine's collusion with Russian enemies is a bigger threat to Russia than Japan and Baltic countries.
Explain how a non-nuclear country like Ukraine is a threat to Russia? Off you go. Also would you accept if Russia landed a nuclear bomb on Serbia simply because someone said it poses it a threat?
Where's Russia's border with Syria?
USA bombed us with depleted uranium. Wasn't a good time at all.
Could Russia one day invade Serbia? Probably. I wouldn't like that, no.
You didn’t answer how a non-nuclear country like Ukraine poses a threat to Russia? So why are you now defending Russia here and give no agency to Ukraine? Are you bipolar?
Serbia was kinda the Russia of the underlying conflict, though.
I should know better by now than to post from this guy, he never checks anything.
Ukraine was killing their own citizens who identified as ethnic Russians. I'm not diagnosed as bipolar, but could be.
Right this war is for National security... that's why they're committing genocide right.
And you're defending them.. give your fecking head a wobble.
You sound just like Hitler when he attacked Poland.
I am not talking about the methods used... But do you not know why your regime was attacked back then? Did they not tell you what your army was doing to civilians in Kosovo?
Someone has been watching too many Russian troll memes over the years on FB, targeted specifically for people like you. I rest my case. I’m Russian speaking who have been to Ukraine on multiple occasions and you cannot believe how ridiculous this all sounds to me. Ffs just watch and listen to the videos from frontlines from Ukrainian soldiers, even now a lot of them communicate in Russian without any concerns.Also, again dodged the question on how non-nuclear Ukraine is a threat to Russia for the 3rd time? Or Russian troll memes didn’t expand on this, so it’s difficult to come up with a reasonable answer?

Those flights have been going on since day 1, it's not unusual, if you check out FR24 you can track most of them including some of the drones, USAF, RAF and others around central Euope and the Black Sea
He’s probably going to claim the US started that one as well
My take on possible 'escalation' is that the only real worry is if Putin is willing to sacrifice much of his air force to take out defences and try to achieve some sort of air dominance, there are reports of a recent build up of planes closer to the border. I still don't see it mind you... They called off their air assaults after losing 3 or 4 planes per day when Ukraine's AD was 100 times weaker than it is now. They would risk so much.
Its all just posturing I expect. I doubt there really will be any more escalation than what they currently failing with in Vuhledar and Bahkmut.
Serbia under Slobodan Milošević was murdering neighbors for years and years before NATO put a stop to it. It was Serbia's fault all along, and only Serbia's fault. Many European countries asked Serbia to stop, but they wouldn't listen. I am Greek and I am telling you this. You should blame Serbia and Milosevic for the wars they caused in the 1990s, there was no need for those wars. So many people lost only because some idiots wanted a "Great Serbia".
Why is Israel not getting bombed by NATO for what they are doing to Palestinians?
Because they are usually retaliating to an attack on them + hypocrisy of course
Don't speak on things you know nothing about. Ridiculous.
You're an expert i suppose
Rather braindepraved
Here's the original video that has managed to wind the Russians up
What are you a couple of apartheid and occupation sympathizers?
For as long as this specific thread is concerned, I'm not in the mood to get sidetracked. The Geopolitics and Israel/Palestine threads are there for you.
Thought I’d call out the sheer hypocrisy. But I agree we can move on.
