We should be fine, after all since Brexit we've plenty of happy contented British fish, right?
Fish consumption, of course, being a famous cause of obesity?
Edit: Look, I'm making fun of the guy, I'm British, you don't need to all take it upon yourselves to explain fish and chips to me.
It's probably a reference to fish & chips, which... yeah.
I don't think that's the fish part
Fish and chips? Yeah
So Kruschev did it, so it doesn't count, but they should get Ukraine because of something that happened 1200 years ago?
I've learned not to expect consistency from them but somebody there must see how ridiculous they look.
Of course they see. Itβs the saying that gets one defenestrated.
At the risk of whataboutery, Jews claimed Palestine after 2000 years and no one in the West found that a preposterous reason to ethnically cleanse and commit genocide.
It is extremely convenient to have the Palestinians pay the price for Europe's crimes. Logic and consistency have nothing to do with it.
Kruschev gave Crimea to Ukraine so it's consistent to reverse anything he did.
Country with no warm water ports say what?

warm water ports
A meme that will only look sillier as climate change gets worse
This guy doesn't understand climate change lol
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-53308-5
As Arctic ice continues to melt, [the Arctic Northern Sea Route] is anticipated to become more accessible to ships, albeit with navigational availability remaining contingent on the ship category and seasonal considerations.
seasonal considerations
A nice way of saying with warmer climates weather becomes more intense and less predictable.
The artic north sea route also isn't what prevents them from using the port the entire year. It freezes, it will continue to freeze especially with the harsher cold snaps the globe faces.
Again you don't seem to understand climate change it is not "lol planet gets hot teehee"
artic north sea
When you have a deep understanding of the issue
It freezes, it will continue to freeze
No, the likely scenario is that maximal ice coverage will (continue to) recede noticeably.
Lol okay you're right Russia is immune to climate change. St. Petersburg definitely isn't having flooding issues and Vladivostok didn't get smashed by a freak ice storm that other places across the globe have also been smashed by
None of that happened I guess climate change isn't a problem
We're talking about ports icing over, which will happen less as global temperatures rise. Bringing up other climate change problems (that are far from unique to Russia) does not change that.
you know westoids get flooded way worse than russia right
their most populous area is literally 10 ft above sea level, for the entire country
Also like, Britain is islands and Russia is the largest country in the world. Who do you think is better equipped to handle rising sea levels? I know which has a LOOOOOT more inland.
Russia faces more flooding than the UK because of thawing snow and ice you dummy.
You don't even know the country you're trying to defend. Learn geography moron
Okay? St Petersburg has an issue with flooding. I don't know what you're trying to convince me of lmfao it's just the truth.
It is also the truth that Vladivostok got hit by a freak ice storm and their port freezes about 4 months out of the year.
Russia has always had struggles with ports. Climate change won't save them and will actively harm them like everyone else. Climate change also is not flat warming, that's what stupid people believe.
Why are you so insecure about those facts??

So you believe in a literal sense all the maps drawn in the west that still call Crimea a part of Ukraine?
And you believe the actual verifiable lies told by Russia for the whole affair? Moron

If that cunt Putin wants to get in the way of my fish suppers, he's gonna get a face full of dandruff. The wee Dobby looking gobshite that he is. Someone give him a sock so he can fuck off!
It's worth remembering that most things Russia says about the UK are for the domestic market.
Like all the "turn the uk into glass" stories, barely mentioned here, but a frequent drumbeat on Russian TV.
Big 'Screw you guys, I'm going home' energy here.
Pretty sure it's the British fishing boats who are going home in this scenario. Or, of course the other classic British move of starting a naval war over fishing rights.
Seems like most countries would cancel this sort of arrangement with a country funding their opponent in a war
West: Coups border country on Russian borders, pumps weapons into said country, gleefully profits off of ensuing war, sanctions Russia, repeatedly drums up how Russia would be better off glassed
Russia: Alright then, no more fishing rights in our territorial waters.
West: 
Said right there in the post summary
Moscow says a 1956 agreement has been axed in response to the UK's sanctions on six people in charge of the penal colony where Alexei Navalny died.
in the latest sign of growing tensions between Moscow and the West.
They're growing, are they? Cause from where I'm standing tensions have grown up, finished uni, settled down and recently had their second child
It was known earlier among Russians as the Northern Sea, Pomorsky Sea or Murman Sea ("Norse Sea");
So the sea is historically Norse, and as know russia is big on respecting historical owners, thus that this sea belongs to the Norsemen.
I think we should respect their sovereignty as they do for other nations.
Gosh, how unexpectedly kind of them. I've been meaning to shed a few pounds, the support is appreciated.
