Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[Uromastyx]

Deeply worrying ramblings from a mad man.

 

[alicante mackem]

Oh really? All they’ve done is pedalled anti Ukraine propaganda and supported Putins every move.

I've not read any anti Ukraine sentiments, I'm not saying they don't exist, but I haven't seen them. I have read him saying the USA and the UK are pouring oil on the fire, whilst France and Germany have tried diplomacy. I'm not sure there's too much wrong with that analysis.

He is absolutely crackers. Unfortunately very Wiley and clever as well. World would be a much better place without him.

This speech sounds like the culmination of his entire military and political career. He is 70 and sounds like he is announcing that the rest of his political career will be focussed on reestablishing the USSR

So he wants WW3 then not just to spank the Ukrainians.

At least after this the West might realise the extent of his intentions and get its act together

Pretty worrying. It must be really scary being an Ukrainian citizen in that country right about now.

Hoping I only qualify for the dad's army homeguard with my bad knee and wonky brain

No option.

So it’s all about his ego/legacy then. I, for one, am shocked. Utterly shocked

 

[Northern_chappy]

Was all pre planned from the start, Russia knew from the 1st additional soldier on the border this is what was going to happen.

Everything they say and report is absolute horseshit. I hope Ukraine give them war mongering dicks a good kicking if they do use force. They have basically just stollen their territory.

Hope it costs them a fortune and is a logistical nightmare to prop up these "republics".

Hopefully the west will say they absolutely don't recognise these areas as anything other than Ukraine territory and start sanctions immediately.

Ukraine needs to use its loaf.

@spectatorindex: BREAKING: Putin says Ukraine has been reduced to the level of a US 'colony' with a 'puppet regime'

 

[box2box]

‘Russia created the modern ukraine’

I don’t think he is going to back down at all and invasion a question of when not if

I’m not. This will be the end of his rule if they invade.

Agreed, you can bet your bottom dollar China are watching how we react as well, with Taiwan in their sights.

Well they do exist. And there’s everything wrong with that analysis.

Show me where they’ve criticised Putin with the same disdain they do Israel and showed Ukrainians the same solidarity they have Palestinians.
