I tend to agree.

Sky went big as soon as it happened. BBC waited and luckily had a reporter on board and broke the report on the 6 o'clock news.

Corrected for you. Never forget that Brexit was on the wishlist of the Russians

How could anyone forget if they log in to a Manchester City forum which caters more for politico Bois rather than football fans?;

Nice to see in the middle of a pandemic the Russians moving troops and equipment to the border with Ukraine. US are sending their navy ships into the Black Sea, are we going to see another repeat of the annexing of Crimea which amongst other things saw a Malaysian Air mh17 shot down by the Russians. A bit of sabre rattling or something to be more concerned about?

The situation is concerning.

I've heard that pundits very knowledgeable about Russia's position with regard to the Ukraine - is that they consider a NATO-aliened Ukraine an existential threat.

Take note - the "existential threat" is that posed against the current Russian political regime - a country ruled by an extremely rich oligarchy with the primary desire to remain in power and the second desire to expand Russian influence.

I guarantee that the first 'shots' fired in any future WW will be targeted cyber attacks on the finance and energy sectors.

If you think back over the last 3/4 years there have been a number of cyber attacks. Airports, NHS, banks.

It’s almost as though our cyber defences were being systematically tested…

HSE was attacked here in Ireland in the middle of Covid and we’re still recovering from it.
We’re lucky that the vaccination program was on a different server to the testing and the rest of the health service, but it caused and is still causing havoc.

Sickening bastards. The attack was traced to Russia.
