Liz Truss takes swift retribution on Putin – UK to unleash might of £24TN army of nations
The Foreign Secretary outlined "coordinated escalatory sanctions" alongside the other members of the G7. France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Canada, the US and the UK make up the group and have a combined GDP of £24TN. The world's biggest economies are shutting their doors on Moscow in the beginning of a series of retaliatory measures expected against Vladimir Putin's government over its escalation of the crisis in Eastern Europe. Ms Truss said: "Our support is unwavering for the territorial integrity of Ukraine." https://www.express.co.uk/news/polit...rmy-war-update |

One thing the U.K and U.S have done well is going so public with the intelligence. By the time Russia went ahead with it every scenario had been well-briefed out and expected. It gave little room for Putin to have any pretext at all.

You think Biden has done brilliantly here? Pull the other one. Putin is a genius, he has handled the west like putty. You don’t have to like someone to hail them a genius. No doubt in my mind that Putin’s absolutely ecstatic Trump is no longer President of the United States and someone so weak and pathetic as Biden is. Russia’s annexing of Ukraine is now inevitable, under Biden. Meanwhile, China’s gleefully eyeing up Taiwan in the distance. But as usual Trump derangement syndrome strikes again |

I don't think Putin cares who is President because the options remain the same whoever it's in charge. What would he have done differently?

Putin would not have done it, under Trump. Putin knew Donald had a redline, he saw that when Syria gassed its own people, including children. Trump ordered a military strike against Syria, albeit, a brief one, despite Russia being its staunch ally. As for linking to the report, that’s all Mr K does, pitting one side against the other, by yet again, being incapable of letting go of something. He’s foolishly trying to brush Trump as the baddy here again, because he simply says what is bloody obvious. Putin’s a genius, but the caveat is that one does not need to be liked to be refer to someone as such or like what that person is doing. |

Re: Russia has begun its full on invasion of Ukraine (Defcon 4)
This is not going to end well this blatant aggression cannot be ignored or not responded too expect a ramping up of military activity in the west. Putin has made a mistake here he doesn't have the support of the Russian people and if this drags on his support will evaporate quickly as sanction's and asset freezing hits hard. Nobody who has taken part in conflict ever wants to see it again but our arm's are being twisted by a man who truly believes he has a destiny and even worse Putin is the type that if he's going down he will take as many as much as he can with him.
My thought's go to Ukraine and it's people and I hope they make Russia pay a heavy price for this. |

Re: Russia & Ukraine invasion threat (Defcon 4)
My thoughts for what they're worth, if you look wars in general the invading side can normally at best expect a high score draw but normally it's long and drawn out that more often than not results in a resounding home win.
If as is being said the obscenely wealthy Russians are supporting Vlad then they're the ones who probably have the best chance in persuading him to stop. We shouldn't freeze their assets, we should seize their assets because a friend of Vlad is an enemy of us all. All those London mansions could make nice hostels for homeless people and we should spend any Russian money we find on arming Ukrainians who at this very moment are probably organising themselves in to resistance groups - particularly after President Zelenskyy authorised Ukrainians to take up arms. I don't think even Vlad would miss the irony of Russian money being used to defend against him. Quote:

Re: Russia has begun its full on invasion of Ukraine (Defcon 4)
I think this has been 10 years - 15 years even - in the making. Iraq seems to have destroyed America's confidence on the world stage and each subsequent President after Bush has been increasingly isolationist as has the American public. Even now the sentiment in America seems to be 'why is this anything to do with us?'. There is even a ******* on Fox News having a go at what actions the American Government is taking because Putin is not their problem.
People have long had a go at America being the 'world police' but in the absence of any police then thugs and gangsters seize the opportunity. As for Britain we, and other European NATO nations, need to wake up and take more of this responsibility on for ourselves rather than look to America. |

I believe this is not being done as any form of sanction but nevertheless it could maybe help in the grand scale of things, though I do feel that this is a decision that reflects UEFA's interests.
