It always becomes a land battle. There is no other way of occupying a country. Boots on the ground.

What's the point of countries having an army if all its going to do is twiddle its thumbs and sit on its hands when the shit hits the fan ?
This situation has made a nonsense out of the politicians and diplomats whilst those able to do a job , the army , the navy and the air force of various countries , is impotent
Bunch of jokers

Two pictures that stick out :
1. Kids bring led down a bunker.
2 Old lady throwing sunflower seeds at soldiers .
And still we have folk in our country suggesting NATO are the aggressor.
All this will do strengthen NATO resolve not destroy it as Putin wants, egoistic fecker.
And yes increase defence spending .
To think Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons? And what for ?
They had the 3rd biggest arsenal.

We may as well get rid of our nuclear weapons
OK possibly stop us getting invaded
But no use whatsoever in preventing this sort of war and stopping putin
If we had a large presence in Eastern and Northern Ukraine of conventional forces from America , UK and the west he would have bottled it.
As it is everyone is shafted except Putin

Re: The War starts Putin announces "Military Operation" in Ukraine. Explosions heard in Kyiv
Excuse my ignorance if I get anything wrong here as I really struggle to understand it all but following Russian’s defence minister and her statement about potentially replicating this attack on Sweden and Finland
How will NATO respond to that? As I think they are both not NATO members.

18000 machine guns been handed out to civilians in Kiev to defend the capital, they're not just going to lie down

The Finns fought the Russians to a standstill before WW2 you really think Putin could survive a long drawn out guerrilla war in three separate countries? Cant see it myself, i also can't see this incursion into the Ukraine being over any time soon, Afghanistan and Chechnya anyone

I tell you what, the British solider is held is high regard around the world, its one of the best, certainly not " tin pot " or a " toy solider " an its embarrassing to even say that
do people want British boots on the ground, it is a fine balance, we might have to act as part of NATO
Once again, if we didnt have Trident, Putin would be crossing Europe with ease and booking ferries to hit the UK son enough , a deterrent is a deterrent no matter what the cost it is to the British tax payer

Russia have been kicked out of the Eurovision Song Contest, the noise you just heard is the screech of brakes as their convoys turn around and head back to Moscow.

Re: The War starts Putin announces "Military Operation" in Ukraine. Explosions heard in Kyiv
They will just enter as Ukraine.
To be fair there's a lot said about the sanctions but over time it must surely start to hurt, maybe not the song contest, well maybe Mrs putin is a fan.
Other than directly enter a war I don't know what else could be done. I certainly think maybe more could have been done well before any of this.... Unless he is just a raging psycho of course.

Thank goodness we'll be spared the screech of their voices.
