          It seems that Putin is wanting to play the territorial card, you fight in 'our' territory in Ukraine and you invade Russian soil.

          This is the only way he can manage his war with anything resembling legitimacy so, where does he go from here?

          I reckon he will go defencive and use the called up troops to reinforce those already in claimed territories before launching another attack when he thinks the situation has cooled somewhat.

          Either way he is a parentless brat.

            Insanity is ruling. Here I think it is obvious in domestic and international policy. The uprising is suppressed brutally and the government supports the Poo-tin inasion. Pure insanity.

              To put it simply mate, ALL the idiots have their toys out and are playing Richard Tator in the sand box.

              The thought process that comes up with their actions just boggles the mind.

                The thing that worries me ATM is Winter in Ukrain, Poo-Tin is systematically cutting of water supplies and electricity for heating and evertything else. The winter campain for Ukrain will be even more brutal than it is now. Poo-Tin had the audacity to call the destruction of part the Russia, Crimea, on the Kerch Strait an "Act of terrorism"..........words fail me now................... ❗

                  I predict if orcs from your brother Mordor would drop a nuke on St.Sofia cathedral in Kyiv in 5 minuted you'd post some shitty RT trash about "Yankees were first in Hiroshima" wouldn't you?

                  I am glad you people still know that fact.
                  And that "Orcs" did not do it, but Yankees.

                  I accidently gave that a thunbs up

                    It;s a pity that people have forgotten why the bombs were dropped, the horrific and brutal behaviour of the regime they were dropped on and the lives that were saved BECAUSE they were dropped.

                    The expected casualty figure should and invasion of the home islands be required is staggering.

                    Japanese women were making balloon bombs for dropping on the US mainland, and being executed for eating the potato based glue because they were literally starving.

                    I suppose that is inconvenient.

                    'Hell To Pay' Sheds New Light On A-Bomb Decision

                    The atom bombs dropped on Japan in 1945 killed — by some estimates — more than 200,000 people. In Hell To Pay, military historian D.M. Giangreco argues that the alternative, a land invasion of Japan, would have been many times more deadly. Japanese estimates, Giangreco says, set the figure at 20 million.

                    "It's astounding," he says. "While we were looking at some of our own casualty estimates, the Japanese military was doing much the same thing, and the figure of 20 million appears again and again."

                            I was in right up to the part where they say that entering my details means agreeing they can contact me whenever they want to. Big brother is indeed watching, not always just big brother either.

                                This is a bit OTT for me but whatever floats your boat really. https://signmyrocket.com/

                                One way to make sure a voice or a thousand are heard but in the end I doubt it beyond raising money and makling folk feel good about themselves/feeling like they have made a difference.

                                    I thought the Russian side could hardly get worse. I was wrong. Apparently a Ukrainian POW has been recorded while being beheaded by pro Russian actors (I know but apparently this is the term that should be used these days).

                                      It seems that the Russians really like getting punchy, or punched at any rate.

                                        Does not this also replicate the reality: An old Russian politician stealthy tore the Ukrainian flag and then gets punched in the face by a young patriot Ukrainian Politician? Others intervene to settle down the conflict.
                                        I hate conflict, why we can not play in a win-win manner?

                                            It would be too simple and far too logical for those leading nations. Personally, I do not believe Kindergarden students could do a worse job.
