They're doing badly in part because we're arming Ukraine and imposing sanctions. Putin doesn't need a legitimate excuse, he never does, he just makes it up and does what he wants. I am talking more about sanctions than giving them planes which I haven't thought a lot of about today.

There isn't any need to be patronising, I am aware this is not a game. I am just even more pessimistic than you on this, I don't think he'll stop if we let him take Ukraine without it taking a heavy cost. This needs to be the end of it or he'll keep pushing and pushing and there is only so long we can let him do that because we're at the same stage anyway.
