Surely no need for that. Kiev is a sitting duck, he could level it without going nuclear ?

Because it's spiralling out of control for him!

Lots of pro Russian bozos in here. Need exterminating off this site. Spread fake news and hate. Cretins.

Genuine question have we or the US faced any sanctions after our invasions of Iraq, Afghan on the war on “terror. Or after the Falklands or Ireland invasions?

More please. This is very good devils advocacy.

Putin putting nuclear force on high alert... Done very publicly and to be expected tbh

He is not daft. He knows the launching of even a tactical nuke would result in the complete obliteration of his country. Pride comes before a fall

To the "Putin wouldnt have done this under Trump" brigade

As I said multiple times, this is why. Nothing to do with Putin being afraid of him.

No matter what Cummins says I really would not be surprised to find similar about Brexit.

My guess: a stern warning to the west that intervention will be seen as an act of agression. Why would we want to react? The Russians are bogged down?
They're losing patience and things might get nasty creating international condemnation. It's eerily quiet for the moment.

Just reading that US believe that Russia are adopting siege tactics inside Ukraine.

So bogged down may not be the right word.

A motorcade has reportedly left the Kremlin for negotiations with Ukraine, but the people who apparently know about these things suggest they’ll be meaningless. Hopefully not.

But what if they get, like, a really huge fan to blow in that direction?

@Kurt. Is your mother available?

And everybody else's too.

Starting to look like an Emperors new clothes situation for Comrade Putin

Probably a result of surrounding himself with terrified yes men and 20 years of absolute power.

Can genuinely see him doing something even more insane in the coming days but surely even he knows that anything nuclear ends in the total annihilation of Russia?
