Russian invasion of Ukraine

Really depressing this, the more strategic gains and victories Ukraine make on Russia the more it makes them lash out with shithouse missile strikes. The West made a massive error letting Russia annex Crimea with out any recourse and has led to Russia believing it is entitled to come back for the rest of the country. Now we are where we are with it really starting to ramp up.
Obama wasn't prepared to go to war or make it too painful for Russia. Nor were tue EU (including the UK) to be fair.

Definitely not limitless. With sanctions in play and China trying to keep their nose clean it's also doubtful they can manufacture more.
It’s all about preventing Russia from acquiring the necessary electrical components that it is incapable of producing domestically, which is why it is vital that any debris from today be collected and investigated thoroughly.

A make or break year for its industry.

Obama wasn't prepared to go to war.

The sanctions that were imposed now should have been imposed back then. Blowing a civilian airliner out of the sky on top of annexing Crimea should have left them isolated, too much Russian money and cheap gas flowing into Western economies at the time.
