Putin biggest problem going forward will be his own people ….plus the rumours of is ill health , when Putin goes it will be at the he hands of his own people , this isn’t like the Russia of old fighting for the mother land , if the young have no food\money\social media they will start to rebel in larger numbers , what’s Putin going to do ? , send troops back to defend himself
HDLG, too true, as many have been saying the only solution is for the Russian people to rise up and sort this out themselves.
They must be suspecting own foul play by Putin with the lack of everything, news being blacked out, they know what he is like.
If they can overcome that very big first hurdle things may change swiftly, it’s a must though they have to do this together. Putin would have thought about this and protected himself.
It probably needs a general to do the deed, someone near him but from the pictures you see of him and his leaders sitting thirty feet away at a table, he probably trusts no one.
Ging is right
Can someone explain why its going to be difficult to get arms to insurgents when the borders are thousands of miles and yet they get them in to Gaza ?
Please..
Also putin has promised (good twitter sources) Belarus access to the Baltic’s. Of course that means Lithuania is next to be invaded and we will have to see his soon but it’s now only a matter of when rather than if nato get involved
Clive where is he getting the troops to do this ? , he,s struggling in Ukraine he,s hardly likely to go looking for another fight just now …Hitler made that mistake , thinned his troops out over to large a area , and as I said he has issues in Russia to ….the people are protesting …in greater numbers every day
A typically thoughtful piece from Simon Tisdall in The Observer:
That’s a fair point given that they seem to be very stretched and ridden with low morale
Also Belarus have now blanched at sending in troops with rumours of a near mutiny by the generals there and the fact that putin was appealing to them demonstrates desperation
Belarus going in with Putin would be akin to pulling the pin out and throwing the grenade up in the air above ones own head ….people keep stating Putin is in self isolation , this is getting worse for him as his so called allies one by one turn there back on him ….
Yes he’s a good writer drone. Read him every week and he’s taking a pretty hard line too
It’s conceivable that if the Orange retard was still president, the Usa could be aligned with North Korea, Syria and
Cuba as one of the tiny handful of Putin supportersThere still seems to be disagreement on the imposing of a total embargo on Russian oil and gas; concerns being that it will cause shortages and/or hefty price rises of fuel and energy
Quite likely, but the more I see of the horrors in Ukraine the more I believe that hardship, perhaps significant, for us and the rest of the West will be a necessity if Putin is to be stopped
I hate to think what will unfold this coming week and it wouldn’t surprise me if I’ll come round to the belief that NATO should get involved; be that the introduction of a ‘no-fly zone’ or full-on military intervention in Ukraine
It’s the most appalling moral dilemma: a ‘hands off’ approach of arming the Ukrainians, allowing them to contest a ghastly and probably prolonged proxy war for us, alone; or risk escalation and the N-word by going in ‘hands on’, together
I really don’t know
‘Quite likely, but the more I see of the horrors in Ukraine the more I believe that hardship, perhaps significant, for us and the rest of the West will be a necessity if Putin is to be stopped’
Yes, my increased fuel bills pale into insignificance. The sad thing is that we all suffer to varying degrees. Ukrainians for obvious reasons, the millions of ordinary Russians (I honestly believe the majority) who want no part in it but who can’t express opposition and Rising fuel bills will financially cripple many of the worse off elsewhere. Who wins here?
See I’ve been reported for referring to trump as a retard
I’ll take that back
Instead I’ll use the chief advisor (john bolton) on foreign affairs, to him and previous administrations, description (and cant argue with his experience and insight of course)
“Moron”

Genocide is beginning
So how long can we stay out of this..
And to think there are those that squealed about Russian troops being slaughtered.
