Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[Dadsarmy73]

It’s a stretch to think there would be. They will not even sever economic ties in the current situation. Military conflict is a bit of a reach. I guess that’s Putin continues his expansion.

Invading a NATO country would be a completely different ballgame.

Absolute drunken nonsense

You're better than that man.

I've got a madcap theory that he's seriously ill, and he knows that the time is running out to reunite Russia with former Soviet states (perhaps with some fear that whoever replaces him will be more progressive and the chance will be gone forever).

The whole world is being run by madmen
Biden, Johnson, Putin, Jong-Un, Raisi, XI Jinping
How the fuck has this happened?

Would it? West are very weak with Russia. Money too important. I can’t see it.

Lack of action from the west, Economy comes first etc, really does make you wonder that if Putin was to attack a NATO member in the balkans etc…. Would there even be much a response?

Yes I think there would be a military response from nato,the west have there red lines as well.

He’s apparently been acting very strange since the pandemic hit and has been in isolation more than your average leader.
He’s a maniac and a bully.
Bully’s respond to nothing but strength.
Dangerous times

Would it?

Yes.

Zelensky not pulling any punches

 

[John the Savage]

This is exactly why the world needs to show solidarity with the people of Russia

They didn’t want this war

The west are not their enemy………it’s the government as Putins actions in Ukraine have shown how reckless he is!

Hope-every despot falls eventually- This might be the beginning of the end for this crackpot.

It’s not madcap to suggest that he wants all of the independent states/countries to be dragged back to a new Soviet Union, it’s reality.

If Nato territory was breached then we would all be at war. Even putin has admitted fighting Nato would be off the cards

Watched something earlier where a member of Bidens administration stated that if say Lithuania was attacked the USA would do jack.

Traitor! How about standing up to Putin and do something about it, instead of recommending appeasement, to ensure he gets a few Rubles off Russia. He would open the doors to the UK and let them march right in given the chance.

I wouldn’t read much into what Putin says and rather what he does.

The first post in this horror show that's made me feel a flicker of hope. Come on people of Russia. Show us your fibre! They could be heroes! There should be millions on the street.

Thanks for posting.

There's no one on the street... Post is hours old and they're all in the gulag now, all 1700 of them in the video. 1700 confirmed arrests in Russia today.

I think social media and deepfake technology have a lot to answer for. It has allowed foreign states to cheaply and easily manipulate diplomatic process, how far is anyone's guess. More than our leaders will let us know.

If anyone likes their podcasts there is a great podcast on deepfake technology and the future uses of it from radiolab, I think the episode is called breaking news read all about it.

 

[Scorer]

The west won’t stop this and can’t without horrendous consequences. The Russian people and other leaders can and will ultimately be the best hope of change.

Wouldn’t surprise me, based on last 10/15 years. Could see them letting the balkans fall to prevent a larger war.
