Meanwhile, Dimwit Davis wants us to send air support ffs
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Whilst I suspect/hope any armed support would be coordinated through Nato, the chasm between UK/Russian military capabilities is enormous.

Was also reflecting on the UK's initial sanctions announced the other day, and given Russia has been preparing for them for years, (and the three named Oligarchs subject to existing sanctions for a decade) they now look somewhat feeble, and a bit eleventh-hour.

It’s fun to post photos devoid of all context and in a disinformation war there’s zero guarantee it’s not part of a “hey, look, Putin was right about saving Russia from naaazism!’ plan
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That photo long ago got dismissed as fake.
The very last person to give a seconds thought to is Peks.

i'm not saying that
but the Ukrainian Government and their army are no saints either
----------------------------------------------------------------------

No one said they were. But they’re not the ones being invaded by a superpower who says their country doesn’t exist.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Russia will take pro-russian majority Donbass, like Crimea

They won't take the rest of Ukraine.
Ukraine will remain as a sovereign country,,,,,,but without option to join NATO
----------------------------------------------------------------------

To be fair, Ukraine would be fools not to join now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
doubt the present pro-west government will be in charge for much longer

Putin wants a friendly Ukraine, like Belarus
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What Putin does *not* want is a liberal, free, democratic, prosperous Ukraine waving at Russian citizens from across the border.

If that’s what you mean.

if you mean he doesn't want a NATO nation the size of Ukraine on it's border , full of NATO weaponry pointed at Moscow

It's all a matter of perspective ....

Russia's view is that they're protecting the breakaway and majority pro Russian Donbass region from Ukrainian aggression

all a matter of perspective

Russia doesn't see it as an invasion

What do you think living in Russia is like 2022?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Illiberal, with state controlled media, no freedom of political speech or association, arbitrary arrest for peaceful political agitators and democracy campaigners.

No judicial independence or integrity. A bureaucracy, and police and security forces absolutely riddled with corruption.

A worsening situation economically for the country’s middle class and bottom third.

A miserable place for non-hetero people, religious minorities and, largely, racial minorities.

They also think Ukrainian soldiers are throwing themselves at innocent bullets and there is some sort of futuristic tractor-beam dragging tanks and Russian soldiers against their will into Ukraine.

Sane response to Ukraine conflict: We should sanction Russia, rearm and reinvest our military and defence and push towards energy independence with a combo of vast renewable expansion and maximising domestic fossil fuels.

Insane response: Let's enter a hot war with a nuclear power by threatening Russia with boots on the ground.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a weird take on things. Can’t recall seeing any on here saying boots on the ground from U.K. troops.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Robb suggested war with Russia yesterday.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
BMCL, said peacekeepers today. Fields showing his reading to be what we all knew.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So when BMCL said peacekeepers he meant a hot war with a nuclear power as suggested by NPE.

Just Shoot showing his intelligence, or lack of, for what we all know it to be
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Follow my lead. Flattering
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes I did say NATO peacekeepers on the ground. Would’ve ideally been UN but that doesn’t work in such circumstances. That is not a “hot war” despite what those behind the grey curtain may claim.
