I'm not getting involved, but if you head over it sounds like Ukraine will give you a gun.

The error in that thinking is trusting your possible foes to actually do what they say. You trust Putin or alike to actually destroy their WoMD. As usual it's fantasy logic from the left based on somehow if you do good others will also act in good faith.

Anyone in this country opposed to us having or developing future nuclear deterrents.
IMO sanctions are a two way street. Everything the russians can't buy is money that you (the nations) won't get.
We can't not have them. Its dangerous idealistic thinking to not having them.
I'm anti military in terms of USA size. But can't pretend we can all agree "no nukes guys? You cool with that?"
I know, part of the route to success for politicians is lying and not being trustworthy while all the time saying you won't lie and are trustworthy. It works wonders.
It's like, for some, lying is some great sin that people just won't do and can't do. Yet it happens all the time. It's embraced, it's policy and it's necessary for advancement in politics.

I'm more worried about the civilians South of the airbase trying to get away from the conflict
Absolutely not! Just look at what Macron has come out and said:
"In a televised address to the nation, he says France will stand by Ukraine's side."
That’s more sensible. The west doesn’t really care about Ukraine, certainty not the US who are the driving force of western politics. It will have been calculating and assessing how to benefit in the best way.

Next: Facebook profile pic changes and candlelit vigils.
Talking about it on Politics Live and they think Russia has built up enough funds to counter the effect of sanctions for 2 years. They also control oil, gas and wheat exports which can make life even more expensive in the west.
Putin might be mad but he's been planning this for a long time.

Just filled the car up. I chatted with the cashier, who said it was no busier than usual. Which surprised me.
The west will survive without russian oil, or gas. Will russia survive by not being able to export it?
The threat of sanctions might not be a deterent but in the long run Russia will be isolated with ony the North koreian and the Chinese on their side, oh and Belarus whos troops are also involved.
The Banking system will collapse on them, they will find it difficult to move money about without Swift and that will hurt their other businesses.
He will stop at Ukrain as everyone else around him is in nato, thats a different ball game for Russia and not a game Putin will p[lay.
Sadly Ukrain is gone, it can't be stopped, all thats left is how many innocents die

Where’s the logic in a never ending arms race?
