It's shameful that Sberbank hasn't been sanctioned yet

A no fly zone should be imposed too given the latest Military intel

This will all be forgotten by the end of the month. Media blowing everything out of proportion as usual.

With the greatest respect I hope that post was in jest. No fly zones work fine when the other side doesn’t have much of an Air Force. However can you imagine the consequences if NATO and Russian aircraft actually engaged each other.
FYI, no British aircraft has shot down another aircraft in combat since the Falklands, forty years ago.

Pornhub imposes content block on Russian users.
Please don’t tell me they’re also imposing blocks on Russian content.

Thankfully we're not the only country in NATO
And yes I have factored in the consequences should such an engagement to take place and I don't see it as being as dire as what is occurring already

So you don't think it’s an issue if NATO and Russian forces clash?

Yes, of course it is. And that's because, unlike the west, Putin doesn't care how many of his soldiers die in battle. As long as he conquers and wins. He's a throwback to the old dictators, and yes, the big danger in all of this is a serious escalation should NATO interject.

The resolve to avoid any military contact between NATO and Russia is still strong. But we ain't seen the second attack wave yet. So far only about a third of Russian forces have crossed into Ukraine, and many of them seem to be bewildered conscripts from the Caucases.
The Russians are probing for weaknesses and will adapt. The second wave will include their elite forces and real heavy equipment, and will overcome some of the logistical errors made so far. We may even see the use of thermobaric weapons.
This will be tough to witness and could have an impact on public opinion and political appetite for intervention. Imagine the impact of tension of thousands of bodies littered through the street. So I get where Pammy is coming from.
So far we have been entirely reactive and have done so in a way that Putin could have entirely predicted. If NATO starts to believe an intervention is necessary then it will need to seize the initiative and be prepared to take real risks.

In a historic change of direction, Germany is to sends arms to the Ukraine.

Things really seem to be happening. Kazakhstan and China are backing away, ejection from SWIFT is looking likely. And the Germans are finally doing the right thing.
All the above, combined with the incredible bravery and resistance of the Ukrainian people, and the news that the Chechen general may have been killed in action, gives us hope. Putin will not be happy.

An unhappy Putin might be even worse. Think further intimidation/provocation of other nations and increased missile bombardment of Ukraine
