Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

Hopefully they give Putin a bloody nose. I feel bad saying that as it’s wishing innocent Russian lives are lost but there is only one aggressor here.

Been following this guy who wrote a PhD on the Russian military and a few others. Consensus is naturally that Ukraine can’t go toe to toe with Russia in a rural war. But an entrenched guerrilla war would be hard for Russia.

But also hard for Ukraine as Putin isn’t going to just roll his tanks and troops into towns and cities to be picked off so it would likely involve significant advanced attacks and likely high civilian casualties.

Regardless an entrenched fight and civil disobedience is their only chance. Despite their strength would make it very hard for Russia to take territory and even harder to hold it.

Thanks for sharing what you have on this thread, it’s been a helpful read
 
This is so tragic and saddening for humanities sake. As usual there will be innocent victims. No one deserves this and all seems to be down to male lust for power. Very sad in 2022, when the World has suffered enough of late.
 
Don't know if anyone watched Peston tonight - he was laying into Cleverly over the Tory lame response to Russia .

Jess Philips got into a right ding dong with JC over Tory donations

This is what happens when the supposed free / liberal world is governed by charlatans and not honest brokers

- Putin's people weed their way through and into the cracks, and weaken the very foundation's of our own democracy

If this invasion goes ahead as seems likely it's a dark day for humanity.

"Unfortunately, Russia has positioned its forces at the final point of readiness across Ukraine's borders to the north, to the east, to the south. Everything seems to be in place for Russia to engage in a major aggression against Ukraine."

America's top diplomat also denied Washington was out of options to deter Russia. "I think [there’s] still an opportunity to avert a major aggression, although again, they're in their final stages of being able to engage in one.

"We said very clearly that if Russia continues to escalate, so will we. And so they have to factor that in to what they're thinking.

"At the end of the day, if that doesn't stop President Putin, we've made very clear along with all of our allies and partners that there will be massive consequences going forward, a price that Russia will have to pay for a long, long time," Blinken added.

Looks like that’s Europe fucked then.

The hardest thing following the conflict will be with false-flag and propaganda war is that it's very hard to distinguish which footage is legitimate.
Like everyone expects Russia to be the main culprit of fake news, but it was the only other day where there was a supposed Nursery bombed by the rebels and it turned out to be photoshopped.

Twitter can be absolutely amazing but cancer at the same time.
