    Every one of them soldiers camped out on the Ukraine border for the last two month would have been waiting every day for the order to go in.

    Nobody is that naive.

    Maybe. Or like a lot of the world was saying, they could have thought it was Putin trying to flex his muscles for the optics

    I think that's going a bit far now with his garden expansion.

    FIFA and UEFA have suspended all Russian clubs and national teams from competing in all competitions - with no exceptions.

    Tactically it sounds like Putin is trying to split the Ukraine in two, West v East, an example of this, it's like Munse and his neighbour arguing over how much land each of them will take and binning letters from the local powers that be to retreat to their original borders or face sanctions fines.

    She's a moron. Doesn't think about anything before opening her mouth. Typical populist, it's what they do. Yesterday she was saying whoever wants to fight should go, without thinking it through. This morning, the Defence Secretary just shut that down with a sharp No!

    That's true.

    I just think you have to remember that around 80% of those Russian forces are conscripts and reservists. Folk who've never seen battle and probably wouldn't chose to unless they were coerced into the military. Wouldn't surprise me at all if most of those lads had no idea that they were actually going to be sent into a full scale invasion.
