Russian invasion of Ukraine

The russians have the skies , it is a plane or drone job , nato would blow the lot up easily but cant
Do they need to have the skies ??. and if so are they constantly flying over it. The convoy is bogged down and flanked by forests. I'm no army bod but surely a platoon of decent blokes with anti tank launchers could take out every 5th one if planned right. Hey Presto, the M25 on a friday night......It's obviously not that simple but it seems it. Failing that, get the Insulate Britain hippies out of prison and let them loose on it.
 
Because a lot of the people in the yellow bits, don't want to be, and aren't russian, which is why they're putting up such a fight to stop it.

Even some of the russian "speaking" people don't actually want to be russian, which is why this map is about the linguistic side of things.
Am I right in thinking that the eastern breakaway was not driven by popular demand but by one political faction?
 
I have read that RB is giving/writing off his 1.5 billion loan as a gift!!!!!!!!! Surely breaks FFP rules or am I reading it all wrong?
I don't think debt or loans are really relevant when it comes to FFP (almost as if it was invented by heavily in debt clubs). Chelsea's spending would still be entirely based on their income that year, and clearing a debt isn't adding extra income into the club (although it would reduce some of the expenses). Obviously if they then took that 1.5 billion and just used it to buy players, they'd be breaking the rules.
 
To speed it up Germany would have to shut down half its economy so they can stop importing Russian gas. I know I'm sat in the UK saying this but I think it's a price worth paying. They will be better off in the long run as will everyone else.

On news night, yesterday Germany gets 45% of is gas from Russia. Even more concerning is that both Italy and Austria get 100% of their gas from Russia.

They would all be dead in minutes though and they are needed to protect the cities
 
Following the invasion this morning:

  • Oil prices have surged to over $100 a barrel
  • Wholesale gas prices increased 33% overnight
  • UK's stock market plunged 2.7% at opening
Update: received email from British gas. From 1st March price will rise by 54%. Jeez.
 
You missed out the one that Ukraine was going to house nuclear missiles - despite giving them up for security guarantees from Russia. In short Russia is a lying sack of shit and if Putin told me my name, I’d check my driving license.

Elsewhere the Russians are currently broadcasting TV propaganda to schools about the war and how the only people who aren’t lying are the Russians. They really are desperate.
Happened to a degree everywhere for decades but obviously much more intensely in Russia.
