Posted very early in the thread "Ukraine will not back down"It’s incredible isn’t it. Motivated and charged soldiers charging well protected positions manned by people who probably don’t want to be there. I’ve watched loads of these vids now and often wondered how I would react. The Ukrainians are bloody heroes.
Yeah,agree.....seems a bizare move,but i aint no military expert.This has clearly been in the plan for some time; you don’t mount an operation like this on a whim. Logistics will have been appraised.
If he defects then putin will possibly die of a heart attack when he gets the news.If he is defecting, he will be an important source of info so we want him to live. If he is genuinely ill, worst of luck to him.
If this is true (russian source), I do hope that Ukraine are being fully briefed and are being consulted by the U.S. - sometimes the Americans do have a propensity to act unilaterally on highly sensitive geo-political issues. Alot of blood has been spilt and lives forever ruined by the actions of the russians and I don't see much sign of any forgiveness being given from the Ukrainians for a long time to come (if ever).

Didn't 99.99% of them vote to join russia in a referendum a few weeks ago - I suspect most of these now ecstatic people didn't understand the question on the ballot paper.
Have to say I am torn on it. The instant/gut reaction is that, yes die a horrible death in response to the horrible and in many cases, pointless deaths that you (Lavrov...not @KS55 ;-D) and your cronies have caused.If he is defecting, he will be an important source of info so we want him to live. If he is genuinely ill, worst of luck to him.
