Completely disagree. We should be arming Poland and the Baltic countries to the teeth. Absolutely nothing suggests anything other than Putin wants to recreate the USSR.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.
He does want to rebuild his little empire doesn't he. Not sure how far he will go. I can't see him going into a NATO country, but he could well target Moldova and Georgia and if he were to take them, I am not sure where he will stop. He is power mad and does think he is invincible.Completely disagree. We should be arming Poland and the Baltic countries to the teeth.

He won't stop . He may well think that his armed forces are not run as tactically and logistically as it should be, though he's massively underestimated Ukrainian resistance. He'll hang around in Ukraine as long as possible and flatten as much of it as he can. He'll buy as much time as possible and bolster his armed forces as much as possible within Russia over the next year or two .He does want to rebuild his little empire doesn't he.

Unless Ukraine are willing to give some territory in order for a Russian withdrawal I don't see this ending for years.
We need to be ready for phase two.
Needs willing people on both sides doesn’t it?A couple of issues might change this though. Russia appears to continue to struggle militarily (other than indiscriminate bombing) and there are rumours of severe supply shortages, this means even if they ‘win’, they could be turned over again relatively quickly. By all accounts they won’t have the troop numbers to maintain a controlling presence. They will know/appreciate this
In addition oil has just plummeted on the back of China covid lockdowns. This could be painful. Ukraine will also budge on a couple of things if necessary
Maybe I’m forever the optimist (comes with supporting city) but it does feel like there is a deal to be done.

WTF planet is this little pipsqueak on?
Why Macron’s Zelensky makeover is hilariously misguided
Everyone wants a piece of the Ukrainian president’s popularity – the problem is a photoshoot cannot match the weight of real-world eventswww.telegraph.co.uk
Good to see little Napoleon getting in on the act. He’ll be doing dancing with the stars soon. What’s happened to Olaf - is he just asleep somewhere?
On here, or in the peace talks?Noticed the superiority complex game was as strong as ever last night…
It’s never ending on here….On here, or in the peace talks?
I don't normally do the spectator, but always happy to make exceptions when it makes jokes at the little Emperors expense.....
Macron, the reverse Zelensky
Which Western leader has been the most shameless when it comes to Ukraine? America’s Vice President ‘Calamity’ Kamala Harris is another contender, given her bizarre, hysterical laughter when asked at a press conference about Kiev’s refugees. Nicola ‘Strangelove’ Sturgeon is up there, after her...www.spectator.co.uk

280k combat forces in total. Take away Ukraine ‘Special Operations’ and we have a gaping hole in Russia‘s defence. Conscripts will bloster this of course.They have something like 75% of their entire armed forces in Ukraine at the moment (and have suffered big losses). They would need a big chunk of that to occupy Ukraine (assuming continued resistance).
They have no economy to be able to rebuild the army.
There is absolutely zero chance he can take Poland.

But if it was it's more a matter of how long would Putin stick to it? If he agreed it'd only be because he needed to replenish supplies etc. He would not see it as ending his pursuit of Ukraine - he believes Russia (and so by extension, he) has a right to control that country.
I've just read on the red button that she has been fined the equivalent of £214 for the video message. That's extraordinary.extremely brave - she has been detained surprise surprise - end of career moment until sputin gets his P45
It's not the first time the Russians have seemingly made a move and nothing has come of it but it's worth watching out for. Odessa has had this threat sitting off it's coast for a quite some time now so it's hopefully it's well defended. It'll need to be. Moldova will be nervously watching on.
It would however cut Ukraine off from Sea imports -the Russians already sunk the old Ukranaian Cruiser in the harbour i believeFrom what I've read, an assault on Odessa would be pretty suicidal for Russia.
They also sunk a Slovakian ship.It would however cut Ukraine off from Sea imports -the Russians already sunk the old Ukranaian Cruiser in the harbour i believe

They have alot of military power in Odessa waiting, they won't take Odessa without lots of losses and the way they're losing troops ATM (reported troops) they can't fight for to much longer.Interesting. Can you expand?
Interesting. Can you expand?
A couple of heavy guns pointed out to sea will keep the Russian navy well away. They cant afford to lose a few helicopters let alone a billion pound warship or two.I think the main factor is how long they've had to prepare. An amphibious assault on Odessa has been touted for so long that they've beefed up their defenses.
If the monuments are this well protected then imagine how well the beaches and other strategic points are defended!
It isDon't know if it's just that they've been reported more the last few days, but there seems to have been a few Western press killed in the last few days, esp. ones working for US networks.
Probably isn't, but wondered if it might be a new Russian tactic to goad the West into getting involved.
