First thing that happens in a real war is the press get muzzled. Iraq was not on the same level. Did the Yanks stop in Vietnam when they got body bags coming home? I suppose our soldiers never raped, murdered or looted either.

The yanks absolutely nailed the Vietnamese (women), that's not disputed but most of this was done in brothels, Vietnam was full of sex workers "servicing" the yanks
 
The EU countries need more nukes. Only France has nukes, and with the common defense policy what happens if Russia invades a country that is in the EU but not in Nato? France would be left on its own to be the counter balance.

Much longer term, if Ukraine joins the EU then perhaps the EU would become energy secure?

It seems they have their own shale gas fields (interesting article here: https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-foreign-investment-imports/30165068.html) but I’m not sure it would be enough to make much of a dent to the EU’s needs?

I’m sure that is also recognised by the Kremlin as another reason to annex the east and south of the country - increase reliance on Russian energy.

Edit:
Interestingly there is oil in the west, but much more around Crimea. Funny that. https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/u3s68n/a_map_of_ukraines_proven_oil_and_gas_reserves_the/

But as a NATO member if France was attacked all of NATO would pitch in.

Russia only became suddenly more interested in Ukraine when new oil/gas fields were discovered.

Hadn't seen that. I guess he gets to see "real Soviet prison cell". It was bound to happen eventually. I see they also detailed Alina. I stopped watching him a while ago but I hope they are both OK.

Nato shares nuclear bombs and Germany has somewhere around 20-60 of them. Not that they are much use really, since it doesn't seem to really deter anyone from anything. It seems you can attack a country now and most countries are too afraid to actually use them.

I believe you need a special permit to attend a Russian launch, my bet is that he didn't have one.

Being a brit in Russia right now probably isn't a good idea though, to be fair.

I just googled the story and while this isn't perhaps the biggest news outlet in the world, it seems he got a fine and was then allowed to leave.

I just noticed this on the BBC last night.

I wondered why he hadn't posted many videos recently.
