You probably need to read it again. There's only one person to blame and he would have done it with or without the unwitting complicity of some senior members of the government. The fact that we allowed and encouraged London to be used for Russian money laundering and fell for the Russian funded Brexit bullshit certainly emboldened him. These were some of many factors that emboldened him including his perceived success with his social media campaign to encourage Americans to vote in Trump (who did his best to weaken NATO) and the almost total reliance on Russian energy by much of Europe. The weak sanctions following invasions of Crimea, the Donbass and parts of Georgia, and the fact that he got away with deploying biological weapons in the UK without much more than a slap on the wrist didn't help either. In the meantime he got away with bribing the international community with giving Russia the Sochi Olympics and the World Cup. All of this made him think the world would do next to fuck all about his invasion of Ukraine. He's now learnt that he was wrong.

think there was a whoosh in there somewhere you missed bud :)

You only need one year with good rotation.

In a development that could be of particular significance, an adviser to Vladimir Putin has left the Russian government and fled the country, according to Reuters.

Anatoly Chubais, a veteran reformer and climate envoy, is said to be against the invasion of Ukraine, and has no intention of returning to Russia.

One of the few reformers from the early 1990s to have remained in Mr Putin's government, while still maintaining ties with the West, Mr Chubais would be the highest level official to have left Russia since the war began so far

It is a pity the Ukranians don't have any missiles they could fire at Russia.

Something like that would be like putting petrol on Putins propaganda fire........Ukraine the aggressor!!!
