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.

I do hope I'm wrong but I still think this is on the cards.
