However the idea that NATO has ambitions to invade Russian territory in the same way that Napoleon and Hitler did is laughable.
Putin seems a competent dictator. Whether the Litvinenko, Skripal or Navalny families share your view on whether he is evil or not is a matter of conjecture I suppose.
Yeah I think people all over the world thought Europe and the USA were on the verge of invading Russia….there really is some batshit people out there

Not quite what I said though, is it?
Anyway, tomorrow's news: UK = good. Russia = bad. Same the day after that.
Let's hope at least one side learns how to do diplomacy tonight and starts to de-escalate this shizz.

Simple solution to ease Russian fears - Russia joins Nato.

RJK can go to Donetsk. I choose to go to the spoons down the Bay with Putin and get smashed on 660ml bottles of Baltika for £3.29
I like your idea for diplomatic talks James.
Putin doesn't drink alcohol though, so it's a San Pelligrino for him.

That's probably his ego problem. If he felt the moderate shame from the night before every so often - perhaps spent the odd Sunday just hiding from his phone and masking the memory of last night by going for a long walk then he wouldn't need to keep bullying Ukraine so much?
