The current euphemism used is irrational. Perhaps not stupid but distant from common sense.

Stirlingsays reckons it's a slam dunk. It won't be. The puppet state cannot possibly survive without a sitting army as the ongoing western fed resistance will make it impossible. Thus...

This side stepping of sanctions to avoid any politically damaging backlash such as prices at the pumps or hurt to the financial market will make us look weak when Russians inevitably upgrade the attack on civilians resulting in the bombing of an orphanage or they revert to chemical weapons etc. Sanctions will be intense and putin will be looking for a face saving out.

I've felt this threat since this started and I wrote about it in a previous post....we would be an obvious target.

However, it's also obvious mutual destruction unless he has a way of finding our patrolling nuclear sub.....we should have two out there but budget cuts means we have just the one.

Good job Corbyn isn't in No.10, we wouldn't retaliate even if we were nuked.

I understand your obvious dislike, but I'll take the comment as literal just because....well I suppose it's interesting to look and see just what Putin did academically and intellectually.

Putin comes from a working class background in Russia, however Putin studied law at the Leningrad State University graduating in 1975 before joining and rising though the ranks in the KGB.

He speaks two languages, German and English, other than Russian.

reckon British Forces would be in the Ukraine though, just fighting shoulder to shoulder with Putin.

It is a funny group supporting Putin, who would have some of the nationalist posters on this site would find themselves aligned with Corbynistas.
