Who here is fucking Bri ish, what kind of absolutely lame ass shit is this?!

We are a small country with lots of NIMBYs.

Even our countryside is a stone's throw from some form of settlement, and a fair number of people who live in the countryside are quite well off.

 

[Tams]

I guess if you lived there before the base was even built then you'd have a valid reason to complain. Imagine if you bought a home for whatever price back in the day and then an army base gets built and immediately slashes the value of your home so that even if you tried to sell it, you'd get so little that you couldn't live in a nice place elsewhere.

Pretty much no one alive now in the UK has bought property that has subsequently had a military base built next to it.

We had a glut of bases from WWII, so there's only been a decline in them. As far as I know, no new bases (on new land) have been built or expanded. The MoD already has plenty of land.

And as far as I know, few major changes in use of military bases have happened. And when they have, it's been to something more benign like accomodation.

The only thing that will have changed are the frequency and intensity of training. And honestly, I have no sympathy for people complaining about long existing military bases being used as intended.

 

[Nikodemos]

Please. They fucking ran into his open arms in 2000.

The brainwash/mindbreak was almost complete by that point. Even then, you still had large protests, until circa 2011, when Putin decided to go HAM on dissent.

 

[winjer]

That reminds me here, of people buying cheap property near an airport that was already up and running for decades, and then complain about the noise.

The absolute worst people in the UK are the hordes of middle class, well off 60+ wankers, who have had it easy their entire lives, and live in leafy, privileged towns and villages. Tory voting, NIMBY cunts the lot of them.

 

[FunkMiller]

There is a reason the country is creeping towards a failed state.

Calm the fuck down, dear. The UK is the sixth biggest economy on the planet, and the financial hub of the entire world. Brexit was a fucking idiotic cock up, but let's not go overboard.

Using "Tory voting" as some sort of derogatory remark is precisely why I would never vote Labour or Lib Dem. It's also the same reason why Leave won the Brexit vote.

People somehow never learn that attacking others for voting a particular way almost never results in their side getting more votes.

Ukraine launches missile attack on Crimea​

Ukraine launches missile attack on Crimea

Ten missiles and three unmanned boats were used to attack the home of Russia's Black Sea fleet, Moscow says.

Ukraine says it hit Russian naval targets in attack on Crimea​

Ukraine says Russian naval vessels badly damaged in Crimea attack

Ukraine said it seriously damaged two Russian naval vessels and struck port infrastructure in Sevastopol on Wednesday, in what appeared to be the biggest attack of the war on the home of the Russian navy's Black Sea Fleet.

Sevastopol forum confirm Kilo-class submarine destroyed​

According to Ukrainian sources, it was the Rostov Na Donu, one of the newer improved Kilo-class and Kalibr missile launching ones (commissioned in 2014). And that it was destroyed. 250-300 million went up in smoke!?

I've voted Conservative multiple times in the past. And Labour. But NIMBYs all vote conservative. Clue's in the name, sport.

Cruise missile attacks on Russian held sea port Sevastopol is a nice step up in operations.

I guess Putin will be launching the nukes any moment now, given that one of his most important naval docks has been attacked using western long range missiles?

 

[Liljagare]

Some dots connected by @general_ben Hodges. Hadn't considered this, taking the gas drilling platforms turned into military bases was a precursor to the raid on Sevastopol last night.

It's almost like the Ukrainians planned it that way…a SOF raid to destroy radar, then a sophisticated strike on Sevastopol…
This counter-offensive is much more than a ground assault… It's a multi-domain operation.

 

[FunkMiller]

Fingers crossed this marks a big escalation in Ukraine's counter offensive. We now have confirmed cruise missile use, launched from Ukrainian aviation, targeting major Russian held military installations.

 

[FeralEcho]

Who here is fucking Bri ish, what kind of absolutely lame ass shit is this?!

What the fuck is next? Moving next to the airport and asking the airline to just delay the flights whenever they don't like the noise? Why give these fucking morons any right to have a say on anything regarding a MILITARY BASE they CHOSE to live next to....

You made your bed,now sleep in it....What a bunch of fucking losers.

Read on BBC a British citizen fighting for Ukraine body has been found on water with his hands tied behind his back..

So Russians executing foreign fighters now, saves the trouble of safe return..

Wish the UK government would stick up for it's citizens and get directly involved.

On the bbc so it must be true?....Wish the uk government would stop wasting money on the ukraines, stop the fucking 3rd world coming in and fix the nhs, roads, schools, housing....fuck ukraine, fuck the 3rd world gimmigrants in our hotels and fuck foreign aid.

Yes because help to Ukraine is what prevents uk government fixing problems at home, world power UK cant fix its problem because of third world Ukraine.

Around here we like to let people have their own opinions, but I don't think "fuck people fighting for their lives and to keep bad guys from living in my house because I want my roads fixed" is one of them.

None of the issues the UK currently has, stems from helping Ukraine.

If you weren't so ignorant about the world, your own country and your own language, you would have realized this along time ago.

The irony here is you're probably exactly the kind of cunt that costs the tax payer more money than anyone else.

I see a lot of fuckers whining about the poor, the foreigners, and everybody else - while taking cash in hand jobs, squeezing out tons of babies, claiming benefits, getting shitfaced and taking up the police's and the NHS's time, littering, causing anti-social behaviour... the list goes on and on.

I mean, truth be told unless weather is extremely uncharacteristic Ukraine has like 4 weeks of counter offensive until the rains turn the country into a muddy hell.

You *could* make a decent argument that they are timing a big push so that the bad weather hits right after they've done it. That stops Russia from attacking back as they all get bogged down.

This attack on Sevastopol proves that if the west wanted this fucking war over with... this war would be fucking over with.

Ukraine did that much damage in one operation - with under a dozen, lesser spec cruise missiles.

After this recent strike on Sevastopol, his “i am a hero that prevented nuclear war by not approving Starlink to Crimea” narrative has taken a severe blow.

I can’t believe it l myself. Borking a $300m Kilo class submarine is a fucking big deal.

Nice. Racist, ableist, homophobic and a console warrior. I assume you have an Asshole bingo card you're trying to fill out?

Funny thing is, the NHS is propped up by those "3rd world" immigrants, and I hate to point it out to you, it ain't English lads out there building roads, schools and houses lol

Calm the fuck down, dear. The UK is the sixth biggest economy on the planet, and the financial hub of the entire world. Brexit was a fucking idiotic cock up, but let's not go overboard.

I won't derail this with uk politics, but I was not referring to brexit (or the laundering skills of London) but the omnishambles / shorttermism in governance and general decline (not least in uk military capability). The embarrassing bailout in Afghanistan should have been a huge warning that we are too dependent on the USA to project capability abroad.

It is in our interests to have Ukraine successfully defend themselves, the inconvenience of noise for those who bought houses near to established military training grounds shouldn't tip the scales against the consequences of the alternatives.

We should be ensuring Ukrainians get the maximum training possible, be investing heavily in arms for them whilst getting our own forces re-equipt.
