And he is Jewish, Putin labels him a Nazi. Totally agree with sentiments of post. The argument Putin has been driven to take this stance has been pontificated about and spread through such as Guardian for years. It's wrong. They argue West should have closed NATO as Warsaw pact broke up...

https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-ukraine-invasion-scenarios/31614428.html Interesting article from last December. How much as Ukrainian army improved since 2014?

Agreed in broad terms, it depends how desperate and what Putin will target. They have taken thermo baric weapons but as yet haven't used them. With regards tanks and capability to remove them from battlefield I, d guess Ukrainians have ability to destroy the lot. The situation so far has not...

Agreed, I almost said as much. Putin thinks differently. Apparently Turkey have been supplying drones, aledgedly built in Turkey but I, d bet American sourced. The region has become another test bed for high tech armaments. Preferably capable of operation on minimum training. (look at the stuff...

Flecc, its irrelevant when a country was formed. What happened 30 years or 100 years ago has nothing to do with it. Ukraine is an Independant sovereign country with a legitimate democracy. Part of that country was the Crimean Peninsula. (upto 2014,after which its rather disputed, but UN still...

There are quite a few precedents. https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/historical-book_from-nazis-to-refineries--how-switzerland-has-handled-the-world-s-gold/45037968#:~:text=%E2%80%9CThe%20Swiss%20were%20the%20principal,of%20gold%20and%20hard%20currency%E2%80%A6 Seems Swiss see Putin as worse than...

Your posts prove you assume a knowledge and understanding you do not possess. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/2/28/russia-ukraine-war-what-is-putins-endgame And predictably you also demonstrate a pretentious attitude, assuming greater understanding of situation than someone who disagrees...

Oh, he was driven to it.. Sort of justifies most abuse. No he was not driven to anything. He chose to do the things he has done, you just seem to buy his lies and rhetoric justifying it in his mind. OK, perhaps not yours. I, m not sure why world stood by and accepted Putin just marching into...

All probably true but probably not. (I've included a wiki to explain real reasons Russia can't be in EU or NATO) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia%E2%80%93European_Union_relations But all certainly utterly irrelevant to situation we now find ourselves in. That is a belligerent dictator...

Perhaps a rail link and autobahn for Putin's sole use should be offered in today's negotiations. Can't see it helping. If it could save lives its a good idea.

I don't think Putin wants a rail link. Think he wants rather more. He wants to dictate to Finland and Sweden about not joining nato. He wants to overthrow, as he sees it a none democratic Nazi system in Ukraine, which is actually a democratically elected legitimate government and in achieving...

It's got everything to do with it. Ukraine, Italy, Poland and every Independant democracy in world. Nobody has right to march into any other country demanding regime changes or corridors through their country. Ukraine is no different to Italy, UK, Germany or anywhere. And on silly stakes you win...

You didn't answer my question. If that corridor were through Italy would you react the same?

Germany only became attractive because the Nazis were defeated. Believe it or not Flecc German governance is rather different to that in 1939.

Zelenskyy has made request that Ukraine join EU immediately, under emergency rules via VDL??? https://english.alarabiya.net/News/world/2022/02/28/Ukraine-president-asks-for-fast-track-EU-membership- Flecc I wonder if your support of Putin attempting to get a "corridor" would be same if that...

Turns out Turkey and UK have been supplying Starstreak and NLAW missile systems to Ukraine for past 2 months. Both systems arguably best/fastest hand held / portable anti tank /anti air missile systems there are. Putting it in perspective, UK had 7000 Starstreak in stock. We sent 2k last...

By that argument he doesn't need to surround Kyiv??

Agreed, but what expense of not doing so?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-60549916 There has been a seismic change in attitudes towards defence, Putin, Russia and NATO. This represents perhaps biggest ever change in German's defence policy.

Think I mentioned Belarus..
