Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine

In other news ....

Cable Forum was the subject of a 9 hour attack from a Russian IP last night.

No damage done, as best I can tell.

I guess they're triggered by any Western website discussing their army's human rights abuses in Ukraine. Or the fact that they're utterly useless in any war where the enemy has the means to shoot back.

Ukraine and Putin's threats are the difference.

I think we've learnt the enemy don't need to be able to shoot back for the Russian army to be useless.

He doesn’t need to, or probably at this stage want to, occupy all of Ukraine.

I wonder if this is effectively an admission that it's expected that Putin will succeed in occupying part of Ukraine. It could simply relate to the fact that he has already occupied places like Crimea though.

As Putin has switched off the internet outside of Russia, this does show that it's still available to those who wish to do us harm. I don't know why they're bothering though, as ordinary Russians won't be able to read Cableforum or any other Western website discussing the truth about what's happening.
