Ukraine - invasion underway

Ukraine looking to develop nuclear weapons, a threat to Russian security, Nazi Ukrainians, yadda yadda yadda. There’s protests in Moscow now, not sure they’ll come to much but plenty not buying the official line.

Only about 200 people in St Petersburg protest. Not sure about numbers in Moscow

Development of WMD’s, threats to national security and a nasty ideology… Putin’s borrowed the Iraq playbook there... That’s not excusing anything, this is wholly indefensible and the Iraq war was a sh*tshow too.

Getting verified on twitter is a random process anyways molteni. The blue tick doesn't automatically mean they are trustworthy. There are plenty of unverified Twitter accounts with their fingers on the pulse.

I get that, but it would be a start.
 
The American news correspondent on Sky has just been talking about American troops being moved Eastwards in Europe to be closer to the Ukrainian border. Apparently Biden has said if it gets to the point where American troops are face to face with the Russians then we are effectively at the beginning of world war 3.

Hard to really understand from phone footage, it’ll get shut down anyway. The next few days will be interesting to see if there’s serious opposition on the streets.

Hopefully social media will show Russian body bags to get the attention of the Russian nation. Head down Smoggle.

It’s a hard one as the thought of dead Russians makes me incredibly sad, but it’ll be one of the few things that could really rally people en-masse against the war.

I’ll not be heading to any public gatherings and I’m way out west in the city, nothing will happen here cos there’s nowt here!

Cheers mate, I’m homebound with work to do over the next week so I won’t be on my usual Moscow explorations, I’ll stay out of trouble 👍🏻

Good to hear

Unfortunately there will be innocents on all sides that will suffer and my well wishes also go out to them. I know that`s no consolation to them but all I haver to give is hope that this can be resolved quickly with the least suffering

Again unfortunately I don`t see a quick resolution and that will bring suffering to many, many , many people

That's such a load of rubbish if true

NATO troops / fighter jets (in theory) are already 'face-to-face' with Russia in Estonia and Latvia
