Serious question. Reckon the UK would vote Brexit at the min?

Seems that decision was taken after a period of total stability. Ignore the brexit shambles but... Given united scenes in Europe with welcoming refugees & that an independent country has been picked off, reckon UK would still be 51% leave?

There’s no doubt in my mind that Putin is rattled. His demeanour has completely changed in his last few speeches. He looks tired, edgy and isn’t his usual composed self and seems unsure. Now he’s reaching out to neighbouring countries and asking for normalisation of nations.

There’s no way he was expecting this invasion to last so long. He certainly wasn’t expecting the world’s reaction and demonisation of him and how quickly Russia would be affected by sanctions. He wasn’t expecting the Ukrainian peoples reaction either.

He’s probably been lied to by his generals about the state of his army and he wouldn’t have thought he’d be seeing hundreds of broken down or abandoned pieces of equipment and he wouldn’t have thought they’d be any logistical issues. He certainly wouldn’t have expected his soldiers to be dissenting and desserting

He’s rattled alright and beginning to have the look of a man who knows the game is up. He’s a dead man walking

Anyone else think the Americans aren't quite doing enough here. Energy self-sufficient and largely food self-sufficient and won't be affected by the huge displacement of people. Reluctant to deploy troops after Afghanistan I just wonder whether they see this as more of a European problem. I think Biden has come across as weak in all this too.

On the contrary I think Biden’s playing this right. Keeping the US profile as low as he can as not to fan the flames, whilst quietly running a lot of the resistance stuff.
