It didn't affect the UK too much. Countries closer to the accident felt worse effects iirc

Perhaps conceivable. It appears this is years in the making and it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest of they’ve been pre conditioned to believe they are serving a welcomed justice.
Might actually be an advantage to Ukrainians.

Imagine if those posting had to go to war

Agree. But again... 300 brave Russian miners vs a few nuclear warheads ends quite differently.

How prescient is this piece of history, in terms of today's events...
One of Hitler's primary goals was territorial expansion for the German state. He fully planned to use war as a means to this end.
In 1938, Hitler turned his gaze toward Czechoslovakia, a country newly created by the Versailles Treaty under the concept of national self-determination.
This tenet stated that national and ethnic groups had the right to determine their own political destinies. However, it was impossible to ensure that all national borders defined all ethnic groups, and thus a large number of Germans suddenly found themselves in a portion of Czechoslovakia known as the Sudetenland.
Encouraged by the Nazis, nationalist Germans in the Sudetenland clamored for a return to Germany.
Hitler turned the terms of the Versailles Treaty against its authors. He claimed that “3,500,000 Germans were torn away from their compatriots by a company of madmen [Versailles Treaty].”
He and his collaborators in Czechoslovakia added that Germans were being oppressed.
Hitler, therefore, demanded that the Sudetenland be returned to Germany according to the tenets of national self-determination.
He made it clear to Europe that Germany was preparing to attack Czechoslovakia in “defense” of its people.

"Greater Russia is now a full-spectrum commodity superpower, less vulnerable to sanctions than Europe itself"
Good article in The Telegraph about the impact of sanctions and our reliance on commodities in the West which Russia controls.

Is that a view of their attitude towards Russian people or being invaded/controlled by Russia?
Associated with national pride. I’d hazard they wouldn’t have been as sacrificial if it had been in another country.
Same global result.

I think they may be a bit too busy to hold a poll on being invaded at the moment mate

What are you wibbling at now? Why on earth do any of them need to act as his mouthpiece. Ludicrous.

This thread is about Putin invading Ukraine. There’s only one leader with blood on his hands in this conflict.

Why would I watch a man who is directly bank rolled by Putin? Lay off the propaganda

Well you’ve just put up a pole about Ukraine and Russian relations I was just asking what the % meant. Just because they have a positive view of Russian people it doesn’t mean that they’d want Russia to control them?
