Farage has gushed over Putin in the past. His supporters know just how he feels about Putin as they feel the same way
 

I was wrong in being fairly convinced there would be no invasion of Ukraine. Now, it is very much looking like that assumption was an incorrect one.

An invasion would be crazy.

I think that the support of the Russian people for Putin is very fragile. If the main Russian cities are hit by mass anti-war disorder, a nationwide rebellion will start quickly. In other words, revolution.

The question is: where will it start?

Late this afternoon, the BBC reported: "Western officials say there is evidence of “very serious doubts” among senior Russian military and security officials about the wisdom of attacking Ukraine."

Not a good sign for Putin, if true, with armed forces in the rear that may not be so reliable.

It's like Northern Ireland voting to rejoin Ireland but Boris invading Belfast to stop it

Is it not more like Scotland winning independence from the UK and then wanting to join some sort of military alliance with Russia which would see Russian nukes parked in Dumfries or wherever. We wouldn't be too chuffed with that arrangement I'd imagine.
 
So Putin decided to invade even though the Russian people are strongly against it?

Haway man Putin, Hitler had more support for his invasions.

Why?

If it is fired from dumfries or Moscow the outcome is the same.
 
Unless Putin has literally gone mental and thinks he can sweep through Europe without kicking off WW3 then I still think this is some sort of ploy/negotiating tactic. Talk of recreating the USSR is pie in the sky and Putin surely knows it - Biden, Johnson and the EU are as weak as piss but not to the extent where they'd sit by and let that happen surely.

Have to agree. He can't be this f***ing nuts, can he?
 
Looks like tanks are already rolling into Donbas. Unconfirmed videos on Twitter but looks like a number of different videos captured of it
