Yes, all the way back in the mid 90s, when I was still using a 56k modem. It's not something you forget. Most people who look for it today will only find the 15 second edit. I saw the original 5 minute clip.

No, the sound never leaves you. I saw it 20 years ago by accident, was only trying to download porn through Limewire. Obviously some freak thought it would be funny to mislabel the video

NATO needs to call his bluff at some stage. Personally, I don't want to see Putin and his cronies on the news any longer it's deranged.

NATO will NEVER do anything against Russia or Putin, unless Russia puts troops into a NATO member coutry.

And as deranged as Putin is, even he knows that is a red line not to cross.

Yeah but Putin can’t launch them on his own without others assistance. He’s mental, but those around him aren’t.

This is really concerning.

Western powers still dragging their feet over sanctions, I would imagine if a NATO country got invaded by the time agreement is reached on a response the country would be lost, too much dithering.

Prequel to WW2 repeated.

The smarter thing would be to wait for the dust to settle. Hostility’s are high at the minute and if people are really serious about him being a loose cannon then why aggravate him or it. Better wait then hit him or more accurately them.

It’s like people want things to escalate it’s really weird.

The EU will be OK as Germany recently invited about 1.25 million mainly undocumented men of fighting age into their country, so that's a BIG boost for their security, isn't it? ;) We have hundreds a week landing, boosting our GDP and raring to support and fight for their new brethren. Putin must be understandably jittery seeing all this.... :)

NLAWS seems to be the weapon we are providing, worth looking at a quick video of it, could be useful,

They are great in a City, they have soft launch so you can use it from a room in a building , run away, dispose of it elsewhere, use plain clothes, hide.
Nightmare to get sniped by one of those and i bet the Russians have eaten quite a few of them already.

Oh I am not saying respond immediately with full force, but to take this long to just to do mere sanctions........

The world could probably do with someone putting a bullet in the back of Putins head right about now.

FSB buddies probably have doorknobs of Novichok ready.

In seriousness the issue is that the secondary bosses have too much at stake themselves I would guess. Only when someone starts yelling nuclear around - especially on Ukranian (ie ex soviet soils) will they start plotting behind his back.

A lot of countries are beginning to close their airspace to anything Russian as well, Soon Russia will be alone in the world but that is worrying, it will become another North Korea, but it will be a nuclear capable North Korea....

It wouldn't happen (they'll still have China etc) but just imagine (and this wouldn't happen either) if every "Western-Culture" country banned/blocked everything Russian, I mean from little things like every Russian sports team/sports-person banned from every competition or every "international" event is removed from being hosted in Russia, to huge things like every airline/shipline/trainline etc all just stopped going to Russia etc. I think Russia would quickly look inward at a way of solving their problems.

One thing I'm surprised hasn't happened so far inside Russia is the the "unfiltered" internet is still working. I think having so much internet access nowadays makes "pulling the wool" over your countrymen's eyes (or hiding obvious dissent) far harder to do. It'll be interesting to see if there's much change in everyday Russians reactions once the body-bags start coming home?
