Russian invasion of Ukraine

I'm with you on this one mate, I can't seriously look at any video or news report without rubbing my chin and thinking it could just be staged or fake news or just outright propaganda.

The overriding fact however is that Putin is a **** of the highest order and whatever the media come out with wont change my mind that I am firmly on the side of the Ukranians.

I'm in agreement, think there is a lot of psy ops being done to demoralise the Russians.

Think the reality on the ground will be more heavily in Russia's favour.
 
Pre Putin's invasion I thought why not give Crimea back to Russia,
keep Ukraine out of NATO, being neutral and partly demilitarized,

BUT that would have only been able with strong Russian security guarantees to Ukraine.
This is not possible anymore.

Ukraine will never trust Russia again,
they don't want to be neutral,
they must be able to defend themselves,
now even stronger than before and
Crimea nor Donbass will fuck all be given to Russia. Free elections might be the fundament for a useful solution in those regions.

Putin has fucked up in a dimension no one thought would have been possible. I my own mind he ends up with his own pants on his head, publically and forever in the book of history.
So in the end Ukraine get back, as it where, the Donbas and also The (?) Crimea so almost better than before the conflict escalated to the point of invasion?

It sounds a lot better than Armageddon I must say. Although I'm not at all certain that Putin will go that gently into the good night.
 
Already explained, I thought I’d read a couple of days ago that Russian tanks were now in Western Ukrainian cities.

No Lviv hasn't even been attacked yet, Dnipro has barely been touched and Kyiv is still very much Ukrainian with clear connections to Lviv.

Kharkiv in the east is most likely to be cut off first but Ukrainians still very much holding out there.
 
Then you’ve not been paying attention to the experts saying that if this war lasts more than ten days then Russia will be fucked as they don’t have the supplies to continue past then and didn’t expect to meet this much resistance.

I think statements and set deadlines like that are pretty dangerous. Not by you obviously, those making them on the bigger stage.

Right or wrong, terrible for morale and psychology, and as hopeful as theybappear now, on 'day 11', a new realization becomes terrifying.
