Benny boy isn't a sniper and wouldn't get anywhere near close enough, but if he could get next to him he'd tear Vlad a new one and get a posthumous medal for it.

But he could fight in Ukraine. He could take Barry Hall with him, now that Hall has completed his SAS training. :wink:

According to your article he got someone from 3.5km away, which is the world's longest confirmed kill. The bloke he got was pretty unlucky.

No, he was in the same unit as the bloke with the 3.5km kill. That's just insane, so many variables. That's why I said get him within 2km.

This guy's in the wrong country. Get him within 2km of Putin.

This war is going to be raging long after the general public has lost interest in it. It'll just be background noise, like the occupations in Afghanistan and Iraq.

So many opinions on Putin and what he's planning, so many different views because the cnut is clearly irrational.

This whole thing is just $@&^# up and Putin should be tried for war crimes. If it all stopped tomorrow there would still be thousands dead and millions if not billions of dollars worth of property destroyed.

I did read that Kyiv is considered the Jerusalem of the Russian orthodox church, hopefully that limits the bombing somewhat.
