Russian invasion of Ukraine

Got to be hard lined. Russia’s economy is not varied, and can quickly and easily have a foot put on its neck.

I also think it’s time for the West to expel Russians from their countries, sons and daughters of oligarchs at our schools and unis, investors who launder money through British businesses, close down certain investments even if it means losing money.

I don’t think it’s quick but otherwise agreed, especially about sending their kids home from uni and schools. Got to get them on a personal level and that is something that can be done by the weekend.
 
All down the length and breadth of Europe the café vlogging cappuccino drinkers will be trying to sort out a doctors appointment so they can get an exemption certificate from conscription.

Yeah, I'm sure that would never have happened back in the day.

Although didn't 13 million of the 25 million eligible for the Vietnam draft defer it, and a million criminally evade it?
 
Is WW3 all that infeasible? Do Russia (and China), deep down, want WW3 to establish a new world order?

Russia (and China) has been taking the piss for 15 years, with little repercussions. I’m not sure the threats off the back of invading further worries them.

Is the threat of all our nuclear arsenals just that - a threat - and would never actually be used? Therefore meaning WW3 could easily come about in ground and air forces, and medium range ballistics. Rather than nuclear war and a few keys and big red buttons?
For as long as I can remember we have had MAD theory.
It is entirely plausible a WW3 could occur without use of Nuclear Weapons. There is no guarantee either way.
The big “what if” is if either side is on the verge of a defeat. Then we could see MAD.
Whether any human in this planet is willing to risk is another matter. Any legacy, Motherland or Western Democracy becomes utterly irrelevant.
