Some interesting accounts on Twitter from ex services people who went to join the fighting, deserting after realising they're fighting a modern army in the Russians and not an insurgency

I reckon Putin will eventually get as far as the border with Poland and think " fuck it, we've got this far, we may as well see how far we can go"
Maybe not in those words

Unless he truly has lost his mind, he definitely won't invade Poland. His army would get utterly obliterated and even he knows that (as I say, unless he has literally gone insane).

A cynic might suggest that it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do...

Absolutely no chance would they go into Poland. They would get their arses handed too them, would give the west the opportunity to 'reunite' Ukraine and even expand the Ukrainian boarder into the Russian oil fields. Give control of the Volga to the Ukrainians. Pro Western government in charge of the oil, as well as cutting off Russian access to the Black and Caspian sea's.

I’d imagine they’ve only been in an army with huge superiority in a war that follows the rules of engagement.

because terms of engagement reminds me of anti Tory apologists crying war crimes when we sank the Belgrano
it’s not a set of rules

He won't. He knows full well he couldn't take on NATO, as do his generals, and more importantly there's no strategic reasoning for invading a NATO member.

well It is for people like you who Have no concept of reality and think people operate by establishment rules and concept of fair play.
Do you think if you showed Mr Putin this he’d think you have a point - actually learn Russian for “every day is a schools day” and tell Mr labarov next time you pass him in the street
Hmmm, I obviously don’t know for sure but I’d be surprised if ex special forces didn’t know what they were getting into in terms of aircraft attacks etc. That hum dunkin (and a few other posters) are making out that ex army volunteers did a runner at first sign of trouble but reading some of the accounts it appears that they weren’t even being give equipment/weapons to defend themselves when the base was under attack. If that’s the case I’m not surprised they left.

Also you do seem to be suggesting that you would support and be up for a bit of military fighting in Ukraine

I have had this conversation this end and come to the conclusion that I would join a protest and I would have done the thing with trying to push back the military vehicles etc and I would be up for bunging the odd Molotov cocktail or sniping. I couldn't do what that women did just then though and I couldn't go into hand to hand combat
I would like to think I could go into intelligence, but reckon they would just laugh at me.

Operating by establishment rules? What, society?
Nice to see you acknowledge that the Tories lie, seeing as establishment and fair play are two of the things they bang on about all the time (but obviously don't truly believe in)
So as people don't operate by establishment rules, I guess we won't hear a peep out of you next time there's a march or protest? After all, it's just the reality of the situation.
