Russian invasion of Ukraine

I realise this filth is protected from on high, but what are the chances of a few within his inner circle conspiring to take him out? A quick bullet through his maniacal eyes? Surely there are some that oppose the course he appears to be taking?

Or is that wishful thinking on my part?

Think the best chance with that is the oligarchs.

I think Zelensky has to be open to ceasefire talks at all times, but realistically he isn’t going to accept anything less than Russia immediately packing up and leaving, and can anyone believe they’ll do that after 2 days?

Best case a temporary ceasefire while they negotiate would buy time for civilians to flee and more weapons from allies to arrive, time to train reservists and civilians and organise them.
 
I understand the sentiment but those bags are real lives lost. Nobody of relevance wins in this, just a narcissist and his backers who want control and money.

HMG need to do the right thing.

Yeah, those real "lives" shot down a plane back in 2014. Nobody would miss Putin's stooges
 
It’s already looking like this war is impossible to win for Putin.

The Ukrainian military is too well equipped for a bloodless drive into Kyiv and installing a puppet government.

The civilians taking up arms to defend their country has shattered the propaganda about Russia ‘liberating’ the country.

The sanctions seem to be bigger than most commentators expected and holdouts to the strongest sanctions like Germany are caving to pressure.
RT propaganda is that Ukraine is using civilians as human shields. They reckon this reveals how desperate and disorganised the Ukraine regime is.
 

Ronay, the man who couldn't praise Russia & Putin enough during the World Cup, seems to have changed his tune a little.
Still manages to shoehorn a City reference into his long overdue ‘mea culpa’ though
 
A ceasefire agreed now by Russia would tell me Putin is worried his troops have become isolated and that supply lines are not able to get through.

Any ceasefire he would use to sort that and then attack again.

In times of war the lives of men don’t matter, only the objective matters. You only remeber the dead once the war has ended.

In the meantime, you hope for as many dead as possible on the other side.

War is cruel and not like normal times. It sounds horrible but there’s no sentiment when it comes to war.
 
Well he will be moved on as well then in that case. This demands pressure and if he can't , or won't, or is compromised then he will go. When the shit hits the fan, the establishment sort it. Billionaires losing money hand over fist is the way to solve this, as Biden knows and as G7 leaders know. Can't do it, get replaced for someone who gets it
It will be interesting to see which, if any, of our media take on the Lebdev link with Johnson. The son of an ex-KGB bigwig entertaining many of our government.

No news, we know the score.
 
Germany spends nowhere near the 2% minimum that NATO members are supposed to spend on defence and hasn't done any serious fighting since WWII. They hide behind offering a peace keeping 'service' whilst expecting top tier NATO members such at the U & UK to keep them safe.

The German military was constrained by the Allied powers after WW2 in terms of scope, ie purely defensive, and in size. There is also a strong pacifist sentiment in Germany.

On the whole, I don’t think Europe is overly keen on seeing Germany rise again as a military power.
