    Have they got time to mobilise properly?

    It's also apparently illegal for any male between 18-60 to leave the country.

    I read they were hauling blokes out of refugee convoys to conscript them.

    It's not nice but probably quite smart, bogging a major power down in an insurgency is very much the in thing (because they never learn from all the times it's happened before).

    Doctor's Ironfist and Steelhammer entering the fray.

    The Ruskies have had it. I assume it'll be just like Red Alert when you sent Tanya or Boris in behind enemy lines to smack everyone.

    The successful insurgencies are the ones willing to eat massive casualties, and even then they partly rely on the opponent not being willing to shithouse it out with them. I'm not sure you can count on either of those here.

    Russians have probably already had four figures killed. Imagine if a British PM sanctioned that many deaths of Our Boys, with probably hundreds/thousands more to come, in a conquest invasion of Ireland.

    They'll have done well to not be actively engaging their own troops, the body count isn't going to bother them.

    They're out of Eurovision now. Putin's Saturday night plans ruined for about six weeks' time, surely the troops will turn around now.

    Footage of the Russian tank swerving to run over a civilian vehicle going the other way is a bit end of days stuff.

    https://twitter.com/Channel4News/sta...F-DpATD-8RxJJw

    With them posturing about the Scandis and Nato this feels like it is going to get out of hand.

    Why am I still relying on dogshit grainy 5 second clips, surely we should be blessed with live 4K drone streams in this day and age. I mean if you want us to take this more seriously than Yemen or some shit just because it's in the gammon heartlands at least put some effort in.

    I won't claim to know much/anything about Putin's inner circle, but he is such a titanic figure there that you could only imagine some kind of Death of Stalin succession scenario if 'they put some poison into his wine'.

    I've been reading about Yemen recently, it really is a complete clusterfuck of a conflict. Unlike this one we (by which I mean UK/US) could stop it by simply stopping helping everyone involved.

    Nope, you'd need to take out all his nutty mates out also. If it was that simple then he would have been popped off ages ago.

    He put his own man in as President a couple of years ago who he seems to be grooming as a successor but Putin is planning to stay on in a newish role to very obviously pull the strings. Think Ferguson/Moyes but with more gopnik squatting.

    The slightly longer video is a bit ambiguous. It could either be them losing control of it with really unfortunate timing, or lining it up from down the road and nailing it with rally driver precision.

    C4 have taken it down already. There’s so much fake/manipulated shit doing the rounds. Russia are mental enough, there’s no need to exaggerate anything.

    I was assuming Gucci shit and jewellery, and whatever else oligarchs like to buy.

    Belgian diamonds also out. Every country reverting to their early 20th century roles, which unfortunately means I have to start giving more respect to the French.

    Poor fucker. Imagine having to live in Australia, with basically no cases or lockdowns. We don't know how lucky we are.
