Russia invades Ukraine - the first ten weeks

I hope when Boris says our Allies he doesn’t mean dithering Joe or ScoMo.

Decisive is not an adjective id use to describe Scott.

Maybe his minders have worked something out for him though.

Belarus is basically an extension of Russia at this point. It wouldn’t be surprising in the slightest.

Wonder if this is how it felt when the Nazis started running though Europe in '39.
-Sanctions
-Tut, Tut, bad Adolf
-Lots of strongly worded posturing

Have we not learned form it that precedes us?

There’s no form that precedes two nuclear-armed powers coming into direct conflict.

The Belarus military have been set up on the border for weeks.

I know, I was holding out some hope that they wouldn’t become directly involved.

Now this:

Economic sanctions need to destroy the Russian oligarchs bank accounts and pit the Russian people vs Putin. Sanctions vs the populace need to be handled super carefully not to give Putin any PR victory internally. The occupation of Ukrainian needs to = economic suicide for the Putin regime = Afghanistan 2.0.

Is Putin as popular in Russia as Hitler was in Germany though?

’World War III’ is trending on Twitter, so that’s good…

how long before the US get involved and all hell breaks loose?

scary stuff!!

Wasn’t Hitler directly told that if he invaded Poland Britain would declare war?

one thing I don’t get
The West have been threatening sanctions for a few weeks now. If I were a corrupt power hungry oligarch, I’d have put my ill gotten gains in some numbered Swiss accounts a while ago.
If your going to do the whole sanctions thing, shouldn’t you just do it and not telegraph your punches?
I can’t help thinking there’s a lot of posturing and not much action.

Someone is trying to explain to Joe what is happening as we speak.

Not happening, Biden has stated numerous times that no US troops will get involved. NATO will not get involved.

He’s not.
