[Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

[Psychobilly freakout]

Good to see the ruble at a record low this morning.

Yeah that’s only going to affect the general population, which will be spun by the state as the west trying to destabilise Russia.
While Putin and his besties, will be sat on stock piled gold, and off shore accounts around the world, this has been planned for years, they have enough to last them several life times.

Oh dear, so it begins .

We need massive sanctions now on Russia, they need to be isolated and treated as a pariah state globally.

Christ.

Pray for Ukraine.

Pray for no genocide.

From listening to Putin’s address last night he is willing to escalate this to a World War isn’t he? I don’t think he’s bluffing either

 

[vegster]

It looks like the Russians are rolling in unopposed, seems that Ukraine Air Force bases have been rendered out of action so Russia has air superiority from the off. Not much talk of any fighting on the ground. I think this will be all over in 72 hours and Ukraine has been snuffed out until someone or anyone can get rid of Putin.

Talk of troops from Belarus involved too, should we expand sanctions to include them I wonder ?

He has been following a plan.

My guess is Moldova gets rolled over next and then a pause.

Sanctions have been factored in, and Putin knows how the world will react.

Where Putin's plan is heading ultimately is not clear.

One minor plus side to all this, is that the UK may not get the lowest points in Euro Vision for a while.

And almost certainly pre-recorded, so you can be sure the Russian chair of the UN Security Council knew exactly what was taking place as the others spoke. Thumbing their noses at the world.

He was quoted on CNN just before the UN meeting as saying he was starting to enjoy the nightly meetings

Was that a thinly veiled nuclear threat he made in his speech? Dangerous times.

 

[nicko31]

Grim. Time for the max sanctions..

 

[WhingForPresident]

Sickening. My wife is Ukrainian, all her family are in Kyiv and it feels like a second home to me. God knows what that psychopath is going to do next and what's to become of it. Ukraine needs more than prayers, but getting involved will surely lead to WW3.

It was chilling both in tone and the fact it seems it was pre recorded to be released to coincide with the UNSC meeting

SAS need to get in and kill Putin

It’s so reminiscent of Hitler.

However, if he touches a NATO country, it’s WW3 and the deaths of the majority of people on the planet.

Hopefully Africa and South America will be spared as the West, Russia and China obliterate themselves.

Putin must die.

Cold War mk2.
The west will rearm the Baltic states, Poland etc. The US will move back into Europe but further East.

Better if a Ukrainian team went in and got him. If our lot got caught it would start a pan European war.

No, that isn't the right thing to do. He needs to be brought to justice.

We need a leader untainted by Russian money, instead we have Johnson. Yet again, the worst possible PM at the worst possible time.

Its what we've got right now, just hope he listens to some sane voices away from his Looney cabinet
