Multiple reports of tanks moving in large numbers from both Crimea and Belarus in the last few minutes but no evidence other than some border post footage.

Is reality starting to dawn on you yet?

Did this guy call himself Bloomberg to try and sound like the news agency?

No, he pays for a Bloomberg Terminal which costs $24K+ a year, and tweets out news events so the average person has access to market news at a similar speed without the costs associated with having a Terminal.
Everything he tweets is just straight from the wire.

Wonder what will be said here, hopefully a stronger message from the west now.

I think you have me mixed up with someone and/or like Dowie misread my earlier posts.

Wonder if banning the last 5-6 generations (3-16nm) of chip process is on the cards?

Could have been worse, could have had Comrade Corbyn in

Was Corbyn also funded by the Russians?

Doesn't look like JAKE11 fancies a trip into Ukraine today :s FORTE12 still keeping its distance as well.

I wonder what would happen with the cosmonauts on the ISS if Russia ended up at war with the west

Wow, genuinely surprised. Although I think Putin is a bit nutkins, he's always seemed rational within his on frame of reference. I never imagined he would fully invade Ukraine. Steal the bits he already held yes, the whole shebang no.

He's worried about losing his iron grip on Russia. Social mood in Russia has apparently been very low, which naturally reflects on the leadership. With the economy hammered by covid too, there's never been a better time (sadly) to take the risk of military action with certain goals including securing future leadership.

If they do fly anything over now, they will certainly turn off the transponder.

Putin to face more sanctions that will do nothing to deter him

Without derailing, I'd say his pacifism would have contributed to the mess even if the intention is from a good place whilst the rest of his position on it as a critic of Western foreign policy for decades (whether rightly or wrongly) makes him most unsuited to this situation.

But then so is the current government for different reasons, I'll hold out for some genuine actions though regardless...

Russian citizens didn't seem very keen on war anytime I've seen them interviewed on TV

Pretty sure there are a few drones and spy aircraft up there we never see anyhow - there are a bunch of planes the US uses we never see on ADSB.

Don’t worry, strong condemnation as well.

I have a very serious and selfish question.
I'm traveling back to the UK in 3 weeks for a ten day visit.

I mean let's say **** actually goes wrong and NATO talks themselves into declaring a real war, what are the rules on travel? Commercial airlines etc?
I mean with a real threat of nuclear war...

I can't believe I'm asking this it sounds so ridiculous...

Minusorange · 24 Feb 2022 at 08:02

While things are quiet and for people to catch up, here's a moment in history that will be etched in the books

Trying to find a fully translated version of Putins declaration but most news place have it cut up

There won’t be a war with NATO. If there is a nuclear war you won’t be going anywhere because civilisation will crumble before your eyes.
