This. If you're going to do it, do it hard.

Up the penalties massively for any UK firm, real estate, lawyers, accountants who handle any Russian related money from this moment onwards. So many 'respectable' UK businesses have gorged on dirty money for decades, time they paid for it. Not fines, prison time and POCA the shit out their wealth.

Identify every person of interest who's a supporter or facilitator of Putin's regime and whose kids who are in public schools receiving a jolly good UK education or at university, and expel the kids from the country. Let them go to Minsk comp.

Seize Chelsea from Abramovich and establish it as a fans-owned cooperative in the National League. Pick a club from, oh, I don't know, League One to inherit its assets in the Premier League.

Aye.

Germany in particular have shot themselves in the foot over their dependency on Russian gas.

They've left themselves utterly ****ed by this.

****scared to go full hog with sanctions.

I know it’s hindsight but decommissioning their 16 nuclear power stations looks like a gigantic cockup

His behaviour is bordering on insanity. Don't get how he's publicly going on like this all of a sudden after over 2 decades appearing calm and collected.

Either on drugs or mentally ill.

I did think it was hubris syndrome. Or at least it started as that. It looks more like full blown psychosis. The schoolboy bullying and threats of retaliation against anyone who stands up to him are not those of a rational man, yet alone a world leader.

EU have a lot to answer for here given they’re sitting doing nowt.

Ourselves and even USA are supporting Ukraine here whilst those closer to Ukraine couldn’t give a fuck.

All about cheaper gas unfortunately, that matters more to governments than the people of Ukraine. I thought Germany would have been all over this, but halting a gas pipe that was not yet operational seems pathetic. What's the odds it's opened at exactly the same time it would have anyway?

The richer EU states should be embarrassed, but until their population kicks off, cheaper gas is more of a political point that the death of Ukraine citizens. Cowards.

To me they read as a man who knows he has to threaten, because if someone does meaningfully intervene he's in really bad shape. He's desperate and nervous because he's extending his forces to their max: yes, they will win eventually, but they are not having an easy time of it.

Genuinely saw someone on twitter earlier laying part of the blame for the Russian invasion on Greta Thunberg

It's like they are so wildly angry about their own lives they lash out and scream insane sh*t without realising that none of it makes any sense and they have been completely duped.

The below is from the BBC on Wallace. If he thinks Putin is going to go further, why aren’t we getting stuck in now, rather than let the Ukrainians suffer and then wait for an attack on a NATO country?

Source BBC News - Mr Wallace warned Russian President Vladimir Putin would not stop after invading Ukraine.
But he said the decision not to "put British service personnel in direct fighting" was not about risk.
The defence secretary said: "I'm not putting British troops directly to fight Russian troops. That would trigger a European war because we are a Nato country and Russia would therefore be attacking Nato."
