Originally posted by PalazioVecchio Eastern Ukraine is ethnically Russian. Let Putin keep it. The aggressive evil empire is the EU. Undemocratic , belligerent and owned by vested insiders. Originally posted by PalazioVecchio Cos I would rather drink Russian vodka and cheer from the sidelines [Tweet Link] Nice that you can find so much enjoyment in this invasion. And the Russian causalities too. Absolutely pointless waste of life at the behest of greedy cowards. edit: apparently filmed near an airfield, so I guess if they'd been taken out it's just 'collateral damage' and back to cheering?

Certainly, there's an argument on what protect can achieve, and also more and more encroachments and restrictions here and abroad on even being able to do so anyway.

Something tells me that the initial invasion may appear to be far more 'mission accomplished' than it really is. Good luck coping with guerilla warfare for the foreseeable. Combined with tough sanctions, the jury is still out on Putin's move. What can be said though is that the perception of him is well deserved. Hopefully some of those around him at similarly minded.

A lot of information on the TV channels and other meeja outlets. A lot of it is unverifiable photos and footage of events. I find the commentaries to the coverage almost 'hysterical' in their attempts to whip up public sympathy. I'm not saying aggressive events aren't happening. Just there is currently a lot of speculative stuff out there, as with any wartime situation where information is confused in the early stages. When i get really worried, I was thinking of a trip to Amsterdam. But obviously overseas travel to Europe will be riskier. I might have to book a few sessions with local escorts to get my rocks off before Armageddon comes. I disengage, I turn the page.

Good luck coping with guerilla warfare for the foreseeable. Problem with that is you are assuming that the Russians are going to occupy areas that have a majority population who don't want them there. Same language, same religion, same cultural sensibilities. Russia is not going to occupy the whole of Ukraine. That would be utter madness. But taking effective control of the parts of it where the population probably see them as liberators? A different matter. "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - 1984 - George Orwell.

I can see this panning out in a number of ways, most of them bundled with plenty of misery for innocent citizens just trying to life a decent life.
