Because Zelenskyy is a former comedian, I wouldn't be surprised if Putin thought he would be useless as Ukraine president and could walk all over him. Clearly he was wrong.
I was in Trafalgar Square yesterday and it was wall to carpeting of blue and yellow flag protestors. Some photos I took on Friday outside Downing Street.

You think it’s total rubbish what I posted?

I think it is extremely obvious that what you posted is correct and I would estimate as 0% chance of him using nukes.
Nukes mean the end of the world and or the end of him very quickly.

However I have been wrong before, but I don't think it will matter if I am wrong here.

OK

It's definitely a sensible bet to bet on 'no nuclear war' you can't lose!

Paid in Euro into Swiss accounts should make them happy..

Only issue is that I'd expect the families would be targeted by Putin's FSB mates.

Was thinking this earlier too but I suspect most have families back in Russia and I doubt they can just leave. Otherwise with the pending further destruction of their economy there can't be a better time to defect to the West especially if they don't own their own home in Russia. They'd have a good asylum case for not being sent back to Russia after the war and a better future ahead of them in the West. We could be about to see a brain and skills drain if masses start to flee.
 
Not much footage coming out today must have died hell of a lot? I know the talks are on as we speak.

Although reading the study from institute of war assessment yesterday they believe Russia taking a breather for a few days to resupply and renew today at some stage.
 
I bought a double pack of choccy digestives and the bunker is cleared out ready. Just trying to get my race sim in there now and glad I can race AI as it might be hard to find real racers…


Joking aside I had my first nightmare in a long time this weekend and it was a nuclear attack ‘themed’ nightmare. I’ve not really been consciously bothered by this being someone who live through the 70’s and 80’ when I was, but it must subconsciously be playing on my mind.

To the bunker!

I personally think it's all over. By which I mean, they'll talk, agree to some things, no more invasion, no nukes and that's it. Tonnes of refugees though and the Ukraine will be in disarray for a long time.

Yeah they've been doing that for a while now, maybe waiting for summer.
 
I found the video I mentioned earlier. This was the video of when Putin was discussing going in to those 2 rebel held areas to defend them. But it looks like they knew it was the start of something bigger.

Depends on your reference, the USA was not being invaded so its the same question, but if your putting in the reference of the same question then yes.

Well then it’s a silly hypothetical question that would very much depend on the circumstances.
But I am anti war and anti conflict. I’m more than willing to defend myself if it’s kill or be killed, but I’m not going to act all macho on here to claim I am the second reincarnation of Rambo.

Yeah, that Enkore guy who was permabanned actually thought Putin was the one being honest :cry:
 
Diplomatic impasse is the reason the whole thing kicked off. I do not see Ukraine or the west conceding their positions now that people are dying on the streets.

I do not see how Russian invasion achieves their goals though. I mean yes, as long as Ukraine is occupied it will not ascend NATO but this absolutely cannot continue long term or maybe I am underestimating Russia's willingness to screw over lives of 200 million people (Russia+Ukraine) in return for national security for Russia.
