Some think they are using decoys and/or using the missiles as decoys to try and distract from the drones. Doesn't sound like it is working.
Not really, we didn't bomb Sweden in WW2 as far as I know
How exactly could they achieve that though? I would assume the Tu-95s are either firing from Russian or international airspace so Ukrainian interceptors would need to fly out and engage them, which would require potentially (and most likely) risking being destroyed by SAMs and any bomber escorts

Tricky one right now as they are often sitting around the Caspian Sea area and even hitting their air bases would be difficult. Back along they were often launching from just inside Belarus but that seems rare now.
Le Pen demanded a government enquiry to prove that her and her party's talking points and policies were not just copy paste Kremlin propaganda
The investigation has now concluded; and the result is that actually yes, Len Pen and her party's statements and policies is in general just copy-paste Kremlin propaganda

We may be a legitimate target - A nuclear armed, NATO member, legitimate target - Russia can be annoyed that we are helping Ukraine, but attacking the UK would just make things much worse for Russia.
Agreed, just as Russia has a nuclear deterrent, so too does the UK, and most of NATO. I suspect China wants nothing todo with Putin’s nuclear brinkmanship. What china wants is to be #1 and not be nuked back (along with every other possible trade customer) to the stone age.

Very few NATO members have nuclear weapons.

As far as I'm concerned Russia already attacked the UK in Salisbury using a biological weapon. We just gave them a few stern words back then though.Ignoring Russias thuggery over the years is why we are where we are now IMO.
Have to agree.
By the same token, the West were not concerned with Crimea when it was taken (unless I'm mistaken, but that's how it came across).
Hence in some fashion at least, the situation is now as it is.

Which is why having 4 Vanguard class submarines, each capable of dropping 40 x 100KT warheads on whomever has earned our wrath is money well spent.
It means that countries that don’t like us, whinge about us on social media rather than invading.

What a bat**** crazy paranoid country...
Sky news:
''Blue and yellow colours have been effectively outlawed in Russia, according to British military intelligence.
Paranoid Russian officials unsure about what is permissible are clamping down on anything which "might evidence discreet support" for Ukraine, the UK Ministry of Defence has said.
A care home worker was reportedly arrested for wearing a blue and yellow jacket to work last month, it said.
Russian national guard troops arrested a 22-year-old man near St Petersburg for displaying the blue and yellow flag of Russia's own aerospace forces.
"Criticism of the arrests has come from an unexpected quarter: the ultra-nationalist, pro-war Liberal Democratic party," said the MoD.
"The party's own branding features yellow on a blue background."

It’s almost like appeasement for the actions of dictators doesn’t work. If only there was some historical teachings the free world could learn from.

Yes, if civilians are killed as part of destruction of infrastructure. That is indeed, war.
Levelling a block of flats? No, not even close. Irrespective of who does it.
Russian military is raining incendiary munitions down on their towns in Belgorod region on the border
They don't even think twice, like maybe there is another way to fight an insurgency - nope they go straight to let's burn it all down like Bakhmut
So now there is a new meme. How do you destroy a Russian city? Easy, send a 100 poorly equipped green men into the city, occupy it for a day and the Russian military will show up and bomb the city to ash. Then move the green men to the next city, rinse and repeat
