    Looks like Russia are going into Ukraine as early as next week. God help us.

    Covid released as a bio weapon in conjunction with China to destabilise the West?
    Tin hat time but timing seems convenient

    I can't see it happening. I feel like it's more a show of strength rather than posing any actual threat.

    Either way, another World War is very unlikely. Even if they do take Ukraine, I can't see any military action from 'The West', it will more likely be a case of sanctions. No leader is going to send in their own military to die after the shit show that was COVID.

    I was struggling to get my head around that. If this conflict starts, is Putin going to call a truce in November to allow the World Cup to go ahead

    Are Putin and Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani good friends?

    Putin will not upset China by overshadowing the games that mean so much to them and of course China has a bond with Russia after the Russians defeated and liberated Manchuria from the Japanese and handing it back to China,
    Russia will not want war but it has a good claim against the west and it needs the west to recognise it

    A friend of mine is in the army and spends 4/6 months of the year stationed in Estonianwith other NATO forces and has done for years, so it’s not all one way NATO countries have put troops near Russian borders also. Since world war 2 there has always been an anti Russia agenda by the US, firstly in the name of Communism but it’s carried on. I feel there has been a racial element to it as well with western countries for years such as, Britain, France, Germany and the US seeing them as some inferior Slavs.

    War could brake out but it can’t entirely be put at Russia’s door as they have their own issues with how the NATO allies are with them. The only way to ever get world peace, or at least not create a world war 3 scenario would be to somehow have China and Russia come onboard with NATO. But it’s always been East vs West.

    The Americans always need an enemy and will never accept Russia, It fuels the economy and allows politicians to spend huge amounts on defence,
    Putin is right when he claims that NATO has increased its presence in Europe, As he said "While NATO has come to the Russian border we have not come to there's,

    I can see why Putin is not happy with neighbouring countries who were once in the Eastern Block getting closer to NATO, strange that when Trump was in office he tried to get closer to the likes of Russia North Korea China etc, it's very worrying.

    willy waving to get nato countries to the negotiating table. He wants a buffer zone around russia that recent nato behaviours are impeding on, alongside welcoming ex eastern bloc countries into the EU.

    We have johnson and truss on the case so i expect the situation to be mishandled completely on our part. Everyone who isn't english generally detests johnson and truss is incompetent.

    Hard to see an immediate answer at the moment

    Don’t Ukraine supply food such as wheat to China which is its biggest customer. I’m sure Russia wouldn’t want to stop that food supply to one of its best friends….as you say at the latter of your post it’s all willy wagging and to be honest it’s the west I don’t trust the most.

    Seems the USA has forgotten how it reacted when the USSR befriended Cuba and put its influence/weapons close to the US coast, If Ukraine became a member of NATO then they would station weapons next to the Russian border

    Amazing what happens when a friend asks a favour, or does it show who is really pulling the strings?
