I guess it’s not outside the realms of possibility that Russia may try to mobilise the entire army and invade across all borders with Europe. That and possible espionage and partisan activities travelling across the border.

Even the worst psychic could have predicted these results.
Russian state media has announced the preliminary results of the so-called referendums being held in occupied parts of Ukraine. With about a fifth of votes counted, it is reported that an overwhelming majority have voted in favour of joining Russia:
- 97% in Kherson region
- 98% in Zaporizhzhia
- 98% in “Donetsk People’s Republic”
- 98% in “Luhansk People’s Republic”
If they start taking out other gas supply routes then that could well happen.
97 and 98% closer than I expected...
Sweden should hold a referendum in St Petersburg - they did create the place after all and when I was there several years ago there was openly massive dislike for Putin.
Ok even if I followed that nonsense you're implying anybody could move into another country then claim 'independence'.
Right lads, let's all move to Moscow and claim 'independence' from Russia.
Any competent military planner would have to consider and have contingency for the possibility Russia was trying to draw NATO forces out for whatever reason.
Although it hasn't typically been the way Russians operate when it comes to stuff like this - you'd much more likely see massed tanks pouring into Europe before they attempted some kind of baiting strategy of that nature, despite the use of subterfuge in other areas.

Military enlistment centre to open on Russian border with Georgia
EPACopyright: EPAA military enlistment point will be opened on the border between Russia and Georgia at the Upper Lars checkpoint, Russian officials have said, after thousands of people were seen fleeing there.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced last week what he described as a partial mobilisation of reservists to join the war, with some 300,000 said to be called up.
Since then, thousands of Russian citizens have been seen fleeing to neighbouring countries, including Georgia and Kazakhstan.
"A mobilisation point of the military registration and enlistment office will be deployed at the checkpoint in the near future," the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for North Ossetia said.
Up until now, vehicles could only cross the border. But the decision was made to allow citizens to cross on foot "to reduce the risks of illegal behaviour and the emergence of conflict situations," officials said.

Irbek Tomaev said yesterday that about 3,500 cars and 1,300 trucks were in the queue to leave Russia for Georgia.

It's a good thing they only made it 97% in Kherson. Wouldn't want the result to look suspect.
They've only counted a fifth of the votes though, so I'm sure the result will be even more conclusive when they've done.

The leaking gas in the sea, other than it being a waste and a environmental disaster, what is the significance of this? The Russians have turned it off I thought.

There's still gas in the pipe (as evidenced by the bubbles) even if you turn it off, for the environment it's probably only bad if any birds fly nearby as they'll die from breathing the gas, apart from that I don't think it's that bad, not oil slick levels of bad at least as the gas will largely just merge into the atmosphere, might add a few 0.00001 degrees to climate change though
I expect no less than 99.9%. After all they want to be part of this "great" nation.
