That's pretty standard for dictators, the longer they stay in power the more isolated they become and the crazier they get.I think he is high off his own propaganda.

Yeah it's going to be very interesting, I personally think he's finished - I don't see how he can win this. In my layman mind, I can't see any logical path to victory for Putin whatsoever. It would have been different if Ukraine had done something bad to warrant the war, but based on the fact Putin has invaded for reasons no better than "for the sake of it" it's just going to fail, but not before he creates a huge mess and loss of life.
Ukrainians teaching Ukrainians how to drive the abandoned vehicles, not sure it's wise driving around in Russian armour during a war though
Back in the real world India's military depend heavily on Russian equipment and support, so with both an aggressive China and the constant fighting with Pakistan which happen on their borders I think they're probably more concerned about those things right now other than the Ukraine.
That is "realpoltik" in action, the ugly "not black or white" morally grey area most governments around the world have to deal with every day.
Because they're stuck in the past.Why do some folk keep calling it The Ukraine?
Just seen a few videos from Kyiv now with some crazy explosions going off. I’m assuming the talks went well.

I know war is war but the amount of people killed whilst still trying to live normal lives is crazy. I would be shacked up in my house 24/7 or if possible escape to another country if I could. There was a video of a poor sod and his son dead in a ditch because they were mistaken for enemies. One of the dogs still alive sitting by their side..
Yeah that's just asking to be shot.
It was bad enough with the odd person going out during curfew and potentially getting mistaken as a Russian saboteur.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) have urged sporting federations and organisations to “not invite or allow the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials in international competitions”.
...
In a statement, the IOC said: “The current war in Ukraine puts the Olympic Movement in a dilemma. While athletes from Russia and Belarus would be able to continue to participate in sports events, many athletes from Ukraine are prevented from doing so because of the attack on their country.
Then why didn't they say they didn't when it was mentioned that they had. A simple no we didn't would suffice. But they didn't deny it or admit it. That's my only point, it's a question.Why would NATO be threatening nuclear action beyond emphasising that they are as always ready to respond to any Russian threat.
There's other videos of people kicking unexploded munitions and posing with them, it's so bizarre

They should have been done years ago when they first invaded Ukraine but better late then never I guess.FIFA/UEFA suspend Russian clubs and national teams from all competitions
