Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[Gaz]

Someone needs to take this lunatic out and quickly

Putin has ordered senior officials to put nuclear deterrents on special alert following “aggressive statements by nato and the west” - source BBC.

That’s not good

Sabre rattling, sounds a bit desperate half a week in.

 

[Wrenthorpe Mackem]

We could circle international airspace and NATO’s air narrowing the way the Russians can fly in.

Sadly I think we are already in a world war as well the world is involved

International space is just that though.

We aren't in a world war. A new Cold War, yes. If the West had any illusions about Putin before, they're surely gone now.

Time for calm heads. Rushing into Ukraine isn't that. Reinvigorating NATO, increasing defence spending and reminding Putin of its mutual defence obligations is just that. We do need to keep clear diplomatic or at least communication channels open with Russia too to help manage any scenario where events could spiral out of control. Again, this was in place during Cold War so it isn't new.

Spoke to my brother yesterday who lives there and there’s not amongst the people he sees -so not sure if it’s correct .

Marjory Taylor Greene was at a White Supremacist conference yesterday and there is apparently video of them (not her) chanting Putin’s name.

Deterrence. He’s rattled. Anything that goes over comes back anyway.

Mutually assured destruction is MAD for a reason.

Also sky news won’t be told Russia are going to strike nato will know a little bit more and if they felt threatened we would know about it ASAP.

Yep.

 

[Concordsafc]

An animal is at its most dangerous when it is cornered

Also it’s most vulnerable too.

 

[I am a reindeer]

I'm currently unscrewing doors and painting myself with white emulsion

Does this protect you from nukes?

 

[look out piano]

Does this protect you from nukes?

I highly doubt it my love.

Does this protect you from nukes?

Vulcan bombers were painted white underneath them to deflect the blast from the nuclear bombs they might drop.

 

[John the Savage]

WTF is this?

Imagine that going on outside your front window

 

[MonkeyLove]

Must have balls of Steele to be driving around deserted streets in a war zone. No one knows they are journalists inside and with lots of Russian undercover infiltrators could easily be mistaken and ambushed

That's the only way this is going to end well. Someone from his inner circle has to take him out.

he needs some novichok put on his door knob. or just his knob

If the CIA or MI6 have an undercover agent within Putin's regime then now would be a good time to active them.
