If you want to see some real cringe, check out Russia Today (RT, Freeview channel 863). You can see it in the eyes of the English Language presenters 'FML, how did it ever come to this?

Youd think they should, but 2 problems in that mate.
1.Getting close enough to a highly insualted despot with hand picked private security detail.
2.All of the ministers, all of the top FSB and military, all the state TV executives, Oil execs they are all stealing and enriching themselves and will have been involved in all sorts of illegality, FSB in the extra curricula killings etc.
They may physically kill Putin, but they bang themselves up and kill their own futures too if it quickly unravels.
They may take their chances on whatever the other side of this is, than life in jail or being strung up by a baying mob.
Oligarchs have the power and influence, they also will kill opponents. Theyre the ones who may be able to do somehthing.
But theres very powerful interests who wont be happy with Mr Putin.

Posted without comment, from The Guardian live feed just now:
The Kremlin has claimed that President Vladimir Putin placed Russia’s nuclear deterrence forces on high alert after statements from the UK’s foreign secretary Liz Truss, PA news agency reports.
According to the Interfax news agency, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a press briefing:
Statements were made by various representatives at various levels on possible altercations or even collisions and clashes between Nato and Russia.
We believe that such statements are absolutely unacceptable.
I would not call the authors of these statements by name, although it was the British foreign minister.

Yes, they have just discussed that on Politics Live - Clive Lewis very sensibly said that Putin will turn anything we say against us, but that doesn't mean that we don't have to be careful with what is said.

The first half hour of Nicky Campbell R5 was very interesting this morning - they had a chap called Dan living in Ukraine on and he was essentially saying that the Ukrainians will fight for every inch of their country and this is why Russia will not win this war. There was then a military analyst on who said that Putin's best troops are the ones that are in Ukraine now, those that may follow after are likely to be far less motivated, Putin's defence budget is actually pretty small and he is reliant upon conscripts etc. He also mentioned that a couple of the Oligarchs have started criticising Putin, but I had not seen that anywhere else yet. Worth a listen if you have some spare time.

Yes, he was more concerned about keeping his family safe but he did say that he would fight as it is his home now. He asked Nicky if he would fight if the UK was invaded and Nicky went very quiet then finally said "you are raising some VERY interesting points" or something like that.

This is so tragic. Young Russian men sent to the killing fields of Ukraine on the command of 1 despot.
The darkest hour comes just before dawn I guess.

How obvious, Russian billionaires who have woken up today to diminishing wealth and impunity are now calling for peace. I mean, I’m sure that was the plan but what a world we live in.
