Russian invasion of Ukraine

There is, in Russia, lots of it. Whether you choose to believe it or not that’s a different question. A lot of Russians do
I was rather thinking of high level evidence fron a trustworthy source such as an academic specialist.
 
The problems are here and now. The Kremlin just announced that “The countries economic reality has considerably changed” and that Sberbank has run out of money after a run on the bank.

The stock exchange is STILL closed today, the rouble is at the lowest it’s ever been.

These economic sanctions are not short term issues, they are hitting right now.
They are hitting Russians, but not hitting Putin. So long as he can continue to feed and arm his forces, I doubt he gives a fuck.
 
Merkel shat her knickers after the Japanese nuclear meltdown and drove German dependency on Russian gas through the roof.
It’s so wrong, what the fuck was she thinking?
You should never leave your country/citizens, so dependent on a country like Russia.
 
His personal fortune is no more immune to sanctions then the rest of the oligrarchs and the Russian Central Bank, he just has more.

They’re losing money, he’s losing money.
He’ll have fuck all to spend it on as well
 
I really worry about these next few days. If they take Ukraine which is looking likely. What's next ? If I were NATO right now I'd be looking to ratify the memberships of any country with aspirations to join, especially those that flank Russia and Ukraine. And I don't care how aggressive that looks. If you can't save Ukraine then strengthen the surrounding regions
 
Russians up for more talks, to say what exactly , disarm , Zolo to give himself up, leaving the country as sitting ducks now or in the future ,giving him all the equipement the west have sent , not happening
 
Yep, which makes me nervous, as Putin has already called one bluff in terms of Western boots on the ground.

Many Russians will only feel the hurt of sanctions and Hitler utilised the Treaty of Versailles to his own end.

The Russian public are only getting one side of the story.

The final Putin bluff is one of mutually assured destruction, which he seems more than capable of calling.
Putin has to be careful here
He can keep pushing and making threats but ultimately if he instigates a full scale war with the west he will lose and lose big time
The west doesn’t want to engage, but if and when forced to they will destroy him

The options are death or complete surrender
