It seems China is distancing itself from this. Xi is no fool. Cunning and ruthless, yes, but not certifiably insane.

Who will deal with them now either financially or politically, both of which require an element of trust? Putin has destroyed that and failed diplomatically, has resorted to the only means left to him; force. He has backed himself into a corner.
That's it, game over for Russia in the international community. |
The western media is so behind this.

They need to go further worldwide, ban all Russian passport holders from travel outside the Country, cancel all Russian Visa's.

China rejected calling Russia's moves on Ukraine an ‘invasion’ and urged all sides to exercise restraint, even as it advised its citizens there to stay home or at least take the precaution of displaying a Chinese flag if they needed to drive anywhere |

In view of current events should MOD now be reviewing its planning assumptions that assume there will not be a high intensity war and reverse some of the more contentious decisions such as running down the Herc force and reducing the size of the army?

There were photos earlier of some pretty poorly equipped and demoralized POWs |

The ongoing action at Hostomel does give an insight into clunky Russian tactical nous. Daylight insertion, apparently unsupported, air support pretty much absent etc.
Another thought - where's the triple A? It would have been a turkey shoot if the defenders had access to it. Also, some early Ukrainian successes will give them cause for hope, that they can bog the advances down. Question is, how then will Vlad respond? Final thought - those Russian PoWs look like hairy assed teenagers. I'm guessing conscripts. |
They really need to burst his bubble, he is obviously gambling on this
On the other hand, G7 leaders condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and said that Russian President Vladimir Putin had “reintroduced war on the European continent.” “We condemn President Putin for his consistent refusal to engage in a diplomatic process to discuss European security issues, despite our repeated offers,” a statement issued after a G7 meeting read. At the same time, Putin assured that Russia would remain part of the world economy. “Given that it remains a part of it, we do not intend to harm a system of which we feel we are a part,” he said. The Russian president also said that the Russian authorities are preparing for what is happening in terms of sanctions policy. At the same time, he urged the Russian business community to deal with the current situation with understanding and to work with the Russian government to support Russia’s economy. |
