To be honest if we are having nuclear war can it start at 8:30 on a Monday, sucks to have to work all week only to turn crispy just before the weekend!

Sure let's go to Monday, at least then we get a weekend.

Maybe we can wait for the next Bank Holiday so we can get a long weekend and do it on Tuesday instead?

Meanwhile, Putin can't scrape up enough spare tanks for a victory parade.

Putin has avoided putting himself in predictable places lately, though he could use a body double but I wonder if for a big event like that his ego won't let him and he'd rather it was cancelled. There has been a lot of talk of infighting lately but I'm not sure how much is real and how much is done for theatrics - it is a good way to flush out those who aren't loyal. It may be he is paranoid as to external threats or worried about internal disputes.
 
Reminder for people freaking out about WWIII: the economic disparity between Russia and NATO is vast.

The combined GDP of NATO's European members is $18.35 trillion. The US adds a further $23.32 trillion. Meanwhile, Russia's economy is a paltry $2.03 trillion (about the same size as New York's). Even Australia's economy is larger than Russia's, despite the fact that our population is 5.5 times smaller.

If NATO decided to scrap with Putin, the result would not be a world war; it would be a one-sided annihilation. Putin knows this, which is why he's desperate to avoid a direct conflict with NATO. He needs to keep Ukraine ineligible for NATO membership for as long as possible, and the only way to do that is to prolong the war.
