OT perspective/ Ukraine/Russia

[swaledale]

Please don’t tell me what to do, AF. There had been a misunderstanding as far as Stenson was concerned which I sought to avoid being taken further. I deliberately made no comment about your ‘anecdotes’ which, personally, I have no reason to doubt.

You, GP and Tricky deliberately provoke Swale time and time again imo. Your ongoing attacks on him are tedious and childish imo as are GP’s and Tricky’s on me.

It’s water off the proverbial duck’s back to me...but, if you want an example of ‘pathetic’, try GP deliberately falsifying a quote of your words to me or misrepresenting Swale...it’s just part of the reason why my responses to ‘Dastardly and Muttley’ will be very much more limited in the future.

P.S. I didn’t make any ‘political points’, GP. My perspective is that Putin is a madman, Biden is too old to handle a situation like this, and Johnson is an inveterate liar. Nothing political about any of that...it’s just my perspective/opinion...what is there to disagree with?

rA what makes you think Biden is too old? Don't believe all you read in the media, as I'm assuming you haven't met the guy personally? In any case, whilst him and Johnson might rubber stamp decisions, there are after all a whole team of people who actually do the assessments and come up with the decisions, which is the difference between them and Putin who it seems makes all the decisions with no alternative views being offered.

Of course the further issue with Johnson is that he has surrounded himself with spineless people who all think the same way nobody in government will challenge him, which is leads to group think and the appalling handling of issues.

The visa situation just being one example of how they can't even manage to even appear to be doing the right thing!

The simple fact is Brexit and the racist immigration attitude still holds true, or they would have sorted a fast track system out, which would enable people to be admitted quickly and then processed here. It appears they are getting their act together but only due to external pressure, they are still playing to those ignorant people who somehow believe we cannot accommodate refugees!

Fortunately they don't form the majority of people in this country!

Tbf, Swale, I’m far from one who believes all they read in the media and I remain mightily grateful to Biden for ridding us of Trump.
I also however have very close family in the U.S. - people who also despised Trump and the Right - and they make me aware of Biden’s shortcomings as a leader.

Biden isn’t - and never will be - a great leader. He is just a blessed relief after the dangerous imbecile he replaced, although I do accept your point about the other assessors and decision makers.

As regards the rest of your post I can only agree with virtually all of it, and not - as our semi resident crackpot suggested a couple of days ago - because, apparently, I’m scared of you.

Oops...is this my opportunity to say, ‘Oh...I was only joshing’?

But seriously...what’s not true? You are ‘semi resident’...you’re a Forest fan on a DCFC forum. More to the point...anyone who seriously suggests that someone agrees with another person on a forum because they’re ‘scared’ to do otherwise is a ‘crackpot’.
Hardly the biggest of insults Tricky, look it up, and certainly not bullying...doesn’t begin to compare with some of the insults and insinuations you’ve chucked my way but if it’s upset you...well, what can I say?

I am not upset in the slightest. It's you that goes off on one, like a big girls blouse.
The fact remains, you saw fit to reply to another poster with a dig at me.
That is bullying, no mater what the form or scale.
Basically buttercup. Don't dish it, if you can't take it.
Thats for free xx
