    I think Putin had miscalculated the situation and that makes him dangerous and desperate.

    His own people will turn against him before long but I’m certain he will do more damage beforehand.

    In a weird **** show way this might actually tighten world peace when this is all over.

    By default if Vatican City get tagged into this then obviously that brings in the Swiss guard and automatically tags Switzerland in too by default. <laugh>

    These guys are evil psychos. They have been accused of committing multiple human rights abuses in Chechnya. I hope they get wiped out but I fear for the people that come up against them.

    https://www.wionews.com/world/ukrai...hechen-special-forces-sent-to-zelensky-457107

    According to the Daily Mail, Ukraine dealt a big blow to Russia by supposedly killing a large contingent of vicious Chechen special forces ordered to assassinate Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky.

    The military force, which is known for its horrific aggression and human rights violations, is alleged to have been decimated after their convoy of 56 tanks was blown to smithereens by Ukrainian missile fire near Hostomel, just northeast of Kyiv, on the second day of the Chechens' deployment

    the Moscow Theatre Siege in 2002 was by the Chechens
    ended with 131 Russians killed and 40 Chechens

    Both sides sold their souls and did a deal with the devil. Both sides won and the people who live there lost

    Turkey signals it could block access to the Black Sea

    Turkey has said it will apply the terms of an international agreement that could see it block access to the Black Sea for the Russian Navy.

    Under the 1936 Montreux Convention, Turkey has control over the two straits that connect the Black Sea, which sits on Ukraine’s southern coast, to the Mediterranean.

    The convention guarantees the free passage of vessels belonging to Black Sea countries - like Russia - in peacetime, but allows Turkey to close the straits to all foreign warships in a time of war or if Turkey itself is threatened.

    Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said earlier: “We have decided that the situation in Ukraine has turned into a war. We will be transparently applying the provisions of Montreaux.”

    Turkey, which is a Nato ally but is also dependent on Russia for energy and tourism, had previously called Russia’s attack unacceptable but stopped short of calling the situation a war.

    They are also a NATO ally, so if Russia tries to force its way through then things could get very spicy very quickly
