Russia possibly twigging for the first time that its recent blood-curdling rhetoric may in some way be responsible for provoking the massive buildup of NATO military assets on its borders …

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
Russia's foreign minister has been criticised for claiming Adolf Hitler "had Jewish origins" and "some of the worst antisemites are Jews".
Sergei Lavrov hit out at Ukraine's president during an interview with Italian media, saying Volodymyr Zelenskyy's Jewish ancestry "doesn't mean anything" while trying to justify Vladimir Putin's call to "denazify" the nation.
When Russia invaded Ukraine in February, President Putin described it as a "special military operation" to remove leaders he claimed were neo-Nazis.
Israel has called Mr Lavrov's remarks "unforgiveable" and summoned Russia's ambassador for an explanation. - Sky News

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
TBH Israel have to an extent hedged their bets a bit on Ukraine and it would be good to see them have a more unequivocal approach to this topic.

What's your point in terms of Lavrov's assertion? The "TBH" suggests a link.
Or is what you've said a free-standing observation?

TBH = To be Honest. Just a way to introduce a random point really. Otherwise it's a freestanding observation.

But it's okay for them to call Jews criticising Israel and zionists self hating Jews, cake and eat it springs to mind...

Would be good to see them provide Ukraine with their Iron Dome defence system. However, Israel seems to be in an informal alliance with Russia in Syria so that's unlikely. And like other Middle Eastern countries, it's shown little enthusiasm to impose sanctions on Russia.

Ominous final sentence of the Intelligence Update.

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
Musing : even if Russia have to withdraw they could make such a mess of Ukraine that the latter can't farm effectively for a season giving Russia a big market for wheat and other products that the world "needs". Even if we don't like it we may have to lump it and pay Russia's price.

Good point. If Russia finally have to accept that they cannot take Ukraine, they may well decide to cause as much destruction as possible out of pure spite. Like a spoilt child.

Not a lot they can do there as they occupy very little of the farming areas of Ukraine
