Russian invasion of Ukraine

The key to this now is China for me. They have influence and I’m sure they would be very happy to be seen as the good guys. Sounds like they have held a call with the Ukraine tonight. I hope they can find some kind of solution to this without much more bloodshed.

I can’t see them risking Taiwan after this economic backlash either.
We rely on China even more than Russia in Europe, I cannot see the same sanctions involved for Taiwan and sadly I think it’s so far removed from us that less of the public will care.

Ukraine is a huge nation in Europe so it naturally strikes a cord.

Sad for the Taiwanese mind you.
 
Ive said I think China is the key all through it and I hope US diplomats are focussing a lot of energy on them.
The US have purposely kept fairly quiet I think so as not to up the ante. Hopefully there will be lots of behind the scenes diplomatic talks going on.

Condemnation but not responding to Putins ludicrous threats. Calm heads are needed in a crisis. Powerful influential people need to think before they spout off.
 
Has there been concrete evidence of the use of cluster munitions by the Russians yet?
Yes there’s a vid of multiple small explosions on a building - described by far better experts than me as ‘clearly a cluster bomb’
 
This twitter account is not reliable it basically reports every positive rumour about Ukraine, so don't believe they are coming, but if these sanctions are possible...

I've never even considered the idea that Apple could just kill every iPhone in Russia remotely, or Windows lockout every PC connected to the internet.

Probably correct, but I think they'll want more damage to the west and russia first, as they stand to benefit.
