They've clearly misevaluated the situation terribly. Now we can only hope they are smart and humble enough to re-evaluate it.

It's terrifying, I've been in tears at times every day since Thursday. I'm frightened for Ukraine, I'm frightened for us and the rest of the world.
I've been alive since 1975 so I've known war, I generally like breathing and I feel shit for all the young folks who will inhabit this earth long after I've gone.
My bairn is at his dad's, I'd love to give him a hug right now tbh.

Some remote uninhabited island of the coast of Scotland would be better.
I’m glad he’s announced what he has (though I await his words becoming reality) but top class, really?He's been top class during this crisis - at least give credit where it's due and leave your political bias to one side
He‘s dithered as usual, that’s why even his own back benchers have been asking him to do more. When he kicks out the oligarchs, the Lord who is the son of a KGB member who he put into the Lords, the vice chair of the Tory Party Ben Bradley and he confiscates the funds of those that have funded him, maybe. When his no flight zone covers all aircraft, to include helicopters and private planes that might be owned by Russians.
In the scheme of things, he’s really done bot all to deserve credit, and that really is political bias aside. If any government led by any party had been so paralysed by their ideology I’d have been critical.
Fair does.I've been on his case for months - he's had a mare - but he's leading now and it's great to see
The EU have been absolutely top class too

Is that what Sky News showed a while ago with the USA wifey?
Live stream here and started 8:10pm by looks of things. I just skipped randomly through it and about 15 mins ago the UAE bloke said talks may commence on the Ukraine/ Belarus border were in the morning, I thought that was today?

He said 4 years ago that if there is no Russia there will be no world.A leader of a nuclear nation has gone batshit crazy - which kind of fucks up the notion of everyone having nukes being a deterrent

Chill out LAP - Putin doesn't have control of the big button despite his posturing
You are just so contrary, well done

Take a step back here, we've gone from supporting Ukraine with ammo and rockets to jets and encouraging people to travel over?
Ukraine aren't in NATO so there's no compelling need to do this from a bi-lateral agreement point of view.
This kind of support goes beyond a proxy and does it not and perhaps makes Russia come to the conclusion that the West are involving themselves to an extent which considers them participants?
And he did say anyone that intervenes and provides destructive means would be targeted?
It's quite the escalation.

absolutely weak as piss
I’m no BoJo fan but that isn’t true. It was the French then the Germans that reacted to their public pressure not the UK.

Same here, my only daughter is expecting her first baby in the summer...the thought of the worst scenario frightens the life out of me.

If they can't use their foreign reserves to prop the Rouble up they'll have to flog their gold, and they have around $580bn worth of the stuff, more than their dollar reserves.

People got bored during the covid crisis and started coming up with batshit crazy ideas. As soon as things started getting back to normal they’re seemingly starting to implement their crazy ideas.
