Russian invasion of Ukraine

[marco]

Not with Putin. His troops are dispensable as long as he gets what he wants
Unless he deliberately pokes the NATO bear hard enough, it will be down to the Russian people to overthrow him

i wouldnt hold your breath waiting for an overthrow from the Russian people,if he can do this to Ukraine he can do it on his own people, 1 in 4 Russians have connections to the Ukraine people either blood relatives or a percentage born there or family relatives there, he is infact murdering his own people at this very moment,and if you have the time watch the Dr Cambel video,putin will never de-escalate only escalate his actions,like you say its about him and what he gets sadly

Very, very lucky to be alive.

The poor souls who were and will not be so lucky getting out. I am sure not all Russian soldiers are that way but nobody will stop to ask now seeing these tactics. Special forces taking out communications and transport infrastructure is a hard part of war, this is not that. I hope these soldiers that are in these squads do get a bullet before they can even begin to plead should they get causght, cowardly bastards.

Probably the only profession where a loud bang in a war zone makes you run towards it.

Their government voted with the west at the UN.

They had to toe the line, because they know the path to EU would be gone for a generation at least. Merkel said Putin was a nationalist with his view frozen in 19th century, the huge majority of Serbs are still stuck in the 14th century. Nice and very sociable people that you can have fun with, drinking, eating, singing, etc, just don't mention religion, national pride, Turks and the West in general...in no particular order.

Ignore the man but let's hope the message has reached as many as they say.

Quite impressive and with the blackout in Russia it’ll probably go via the encrypted stream sources and more people will see it than if he just did a bbc press conf

There's been a bridge blown apparantly....looking good so far.

They had replaced many bridges on motorways with wooden ones last autumn to stop Russian tanks being able to cross them. A friend of ours was working in Ukraine when they were doing it.

I’m thinking has Putin got a incurable health issue and wants to go out in a blaze of glory not giving 2 fucks to anyone.

You mean untreatable like a personality disorder? Without a doubt.
