  1. Who are the new enemies? He’s actually showed he has more support that anyone thought before The enemies he has today, are the enemies he had last week. Thing is they now know a little bit of what he’s capable of and he’s not a bullshitter
  2. There doesn’t need to be. Putin appears weaker than a weak thing
  3. I still think there’s a few twists and turns left. Putin still looks very weak.
  4. Who is? It’s there for al, to see ands has been all along. It was highly unlikely that the Ru chain of command would obey orders to launch a nuke on Ukraine, it would break down somewhere, to launch one on their own people in their own country in the midst of a civil war… nah really can’t see it. Putin can give whatever orders he wants, there really isn’t much chance of it happening
  5. Couldn’t have been that bad, he got elected President of a country.
  6. Tactical nukes, are we back to this again, there no such thing really, they still kill people for hundreds of miles radius just not as quickly as a big one. And that could still be considered an attack on NATO even if it wasn’t aimed at Ukraine
  7. Shiogu also has his own PMC, Patriot, even that could get messy but Putin after his announcement this morning can no longer do that, he's called Prigozhin a traitor and a terrorist
  8. Putin won’t get to say that is my guess. This isn’t going to end in a negotiation.
  9. Right now he has no clue who is on his side in all this and he's hardly going to win if he nukes his own country
  10. Survival. It’s gone from a verbal battle between him and the Kremlin / MOD to attack is the best form of defence. It’s his survival instinct
  11. Absolutely no reason for that, China and India might be getting cheaper fuel still by paying in a foreign currency to a Swiss bank account but I don’t see how it affect oil any further at this stage
  12. Very little, the West has already adapted to not dealing with Russia
  13. There are signs it’s split. Last night RuAF refused to fire on the convoy, today Wagner shoots Ru Comms plane out of the sky. There is no complete one side or the other. We don’t even know if the FSB /GRU is fragmented yet and they may well be key but it certainly seems like, as a lot of people suspected, Russian has sod all military not stuck between Wagner and Ukraine. Wagner convoy is just rolling on, unopposed and picking up Ru ground troop units on the way.
  14. Just starting on the brilliant The Comet Is Coming, should be good
  15. Used to play football with Brodie on the Toxteth Astroturf many years ago
  16. Martin Campbell, he’s definitely more cuddly than when he was in Rain.
  17. Who is paying the bounty? How are they going to claim it? Putin is buggering off to St Petersburg as we speak Someone already tried that apparently, dead now
  18. Shoot the officer in charge and surrender, never a better time to do it
  19. I don’t see how the war continues in its present form. The Russian lines are bound to collapse, there will be a power vacuum, you can’t quell a civil war at home and command an invasion where most of your troops are sandwiched between the two enemies But it could easily get bloodier before it stops
