It's just posturing and sabre-rattling IMO, to show that they could invade if they wanted to. Russia does things like flying military jets into other countries airspace all the time for a laugh to see if they notice. You were wrong you c**t. Up ye. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye mate, a small section of the British public who don't like wars is definitely the issue here. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I’m not an expert, but hasn’t he had quite a bit of popularity issues in Russia as of late? One or two, but he's not exactly Boris Johnson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The West lets Vlad have the Ukraine while we all look away and pretend it was always like that? That's a very good question, as the 'demilitarise' part of the Russian mission can only be brought about by establishing a permanent change of circumstances. There's no point disabling a military now, only for the West to rearm a furious Ukrainian government in the future. The best way out of this mess is for European intermediaries to broker a neutrality guarantee for Ukraine. No, it is not going to join NATO despite what it says in their constitution. It does not need to be absorbed by Russia either (which would actually put NATO forces on their doorstep). Once guns start firing though, the chances of the only realistic settlement decrease substantially. 16 minutes ago, Highlandmagyar Tier 3 said: Weren't we all really. Trying to placate Putin was never going to work. He is an unhinged despot. Only Russians can themselves stop this. Is their any guts within Russia to take him out? The West never tried to placate Putin - it insisted on the unlimited sovereignty of Ukraine to do whatever it wanted, and now Russia is aiming to demonstrate a different reality on the ground. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
