NATO strengthening the Eastern boarder

Which was always going to happen. That NATO on the border of Russia if Ukraine joined was obviously nonsense. There will be more military in the NATO countries bordering Russia than ever before.

Protests against the war in St Petersburg 

And a lot of them will get battered and/or incarcerated for it. The kind of treatment our own Government admires very much.

I don't know if it's just propaganda, but I've been surprised to hear how many ordinary Russian folk aren't really in favour of this invasion on the news and radio today.

If things go badly for Putin in Ukraine he might have a real fight on his hands domestically....

Looks like he was firing Air-to-Air missiles, but was flying too low for the missile/s to regain target altitude. Either way, a horrible video that shows the grim reality of war.

 

fucking hell that's grim

I'm still not convinced it's real there's something off about it, but the reaction is certainly real and horrible.

Imagine having worked all your life to raise a family, pay for your gaff and overnight you’re having to evacuate for your safety because a neighbouring country is dropping bombs on you, in a modern European country. 
 

It’s hard to actually comprehend

Russian forces have captured the Chernobyl nuclear power plant after a fierce battle, Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhaylo Podolyak has said.

Podolyak said:

It is impossible to say the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is safe after a totally pointless attack by the Russians.

This is one of the most serious threats in Europe today.

Ukraine’s prime minister Volodymyr Zelensky also said the Chernobyl area near Kyiv was now under the control of Russian troops.

Ah Righto. Ta. Fair point.

Mind runs overtime when you see them eager to seize the most radioactive site on earth.

This entire invasion is insane on almost every level. There's not much sense to be made of any of it really, unless you're a psychopathic egotist with unlimited resources.

The Russian people are not ideologically motivated. Unlike other dictators who have relied on ideology to fulfil their megalomaniac ambitions, Putin doesn’t have that. He will fail. Unfortunately, many will be killed before that is realised.

Let’s hope he gets toppled from within. It will be a brave man who makes the first move. But I can see it happening. No way his entire government and countrymen want this war. It’s insane. The loss of life will be astronomical. The Ukraine’s are going to fight hard to resist the invasion - so many, many young Russians are going to lose their lives needlessly. Whilst that dickweed is tucked up in his huge palatial residence eating caviar and smoking a fat Cohiba.

Hopefully the Oligarchs and others in positions of influence will realise what’s going on and bring about the regime change that’s needed. I really can’t see any other outcome short of war.
