What a load of bollocks. Heard when asked about everyone working together on this he called Starmer Captain Hindsight.

1.5 million refugees have now left. I take it since we won’t lift a finger militarily to help that we and all other NATO countries will offer an open door to all who want to escape the Putin invasion as he cracks on with it?
Only temporarily of course, because he’ll give it all back after he conquers the country.

the issue is though he did admit if Russia cannot access the capital then they will probably blast the place to dust and had no real solution to prevent it other than “it would be really outrageous”

This should worry even the most ardent and blinded Boris fan boy
The Kremlin signing off on who our lawmakers are. Wow.

Same as your position then.
Can't find his LinkedIn profile but has written several books and is a Professor of Strategic Studies.
Not sure if that's qualified enough. @Grendel please advise?
You could imagine that there is a real issue with lower level military (maybe even higher level) not being back to push back on orders and saying ‘no, that’s no possible’…for fear of imprisonment or possibly death !
That culture of fear works in some situations but I’d imagine it’s having a real negative impact here, especially relating to logistics/strategy

Think he’ll take a quick breather then seize Moldova and Georgia. The ban from Eurovision is an unacceptable act of escalation on our side

Ukraine invasion: What sanctions are different countries around the world imposing on Russia and will they work?
Russia has been frozen out of the international financial system via SWIFT, and is seeing sanctions on its central bank and reserve funds. Sports fixtures across the country have been cancelled and it has been banned from taking part in the Eurovision Song Contest.

Great read. There Is hope that more people like him will gain an influence.
The people of Russia were told there would only be a war if they were attacked. No wonder they disbelieve(d) people phoning from Ukraine. Mother Russia wouldn’t do such a thing.
Is Russiangoing to end up with a demilitarised zone?

That's great. It's very nice of them to give us a billion names.
However if you actually check the official government UK sanctions list you will see that 15 Russians have been sanctioned since the start of the war.
You can check here.
The UK Sanctions List
Find out which people, entities and ships are designated or specified under regulations made under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018, and why.

It's remarkable isn't it. The party of law & order and flag-waving patriotism, literally funded by Putin's rich mates.
This, whilst there's an actual shooting war in Europe, started by Putin himself.
Hahaha windmilling again.
I note you ignored my previous posts about the Russian army by the way, was that guy too qualified for you?
What about the BBC reporting only two major cities have fallen, I thought you said a large portion had?

Whether it's the Mail or the Observer is irrelevant. PH is one of very few journalists who recognises the role the West have played in creating the conditions for this invasion.

They've got another issue coming up with logistics.
As the ground thaws going to severely limit movement and Ukraine doesn't have an extensive (or well-maintained) road network. In a normal year we couldn't get on the ground to drill until mid-April because it was just too wet. So even tanks will have to stay next to the roads just to be refuelled.
We used to move combines and tractors all round the place rather than straight from A to B because bridges couldn't take heavy loads, not a lot of side roads where you can easily take shortcuts. Also a lot of the side roads etc are still gravel rather than tarmac.
So convoys etc going to be concentrated in small spaces but I suppose that will apply to Ukrainian forces trying to attack these convoys as well.
Plus looking at that twitter video of the lorries etc on a train I recognise several of those types and they are literally out of the Ark. Only reason a few of them are still around in private ownership in Hungary is that they are easily maintained because they are so basic. But got no speed, fuel efficiency or load capacity
Agree with FF. really interesting read and re-enforces a lot of the speculation
Ps what an absolute shitshow from Putin. He could’ve left office whenever he decided, with a decent legacy in the eyes of the Russian people and he goes ‘all in’ on something like this….pretty much unplanned
Yeah it's coming up to 'mud season'
That convoy is going very far any time soon, which I think explains why Ukraine haven't bombed it - they've got more pressing issues for their air force to deal with

I guess, given the size of the Russian empire and he definitely sees himself in Czarist terms, but I think his playbook is more Stalinist. So it's a sort of hybrid of the two.

I hope your right but given their track record I fear weeks or months down the line we'll hear different.
Already this morning I've seen reports of a women who has spent 4 days with her young daughter getting to Calais only to be refused entry to the UK and a charity reporting that the government won't remove the red tape and costs we've incurred post-Brexit so they have to raise an additional £6K to cover fees to enable them to get aid to Ukraine.
