with any luck it might all be a Russian papper tiger so to speak Mr Crazy Ivan
uping the anti hoping to drive a wedge between nato countries to see what consessions he can get using Nordstream II gas pipeline so Germany and France dont want to get too involved in the Ukrianian Crisis and America not wanting any more military adventures but then theres other consequences Sweden moving closer to Nato and Poland doubling the size of their army within three years and buying more F-35's from America
and all nato members states increase military spending upto 5% plus of their GDP so a new cold war begins


Sooner or later mr Putin's going to as we say up north chit or get off the pot! if you've dug a big hole deeper and deeper but you hav'nt got a ladder its very hard getting out of a big hole
if he does invade Ukraine and Russian mothers and wifes see 40000 sons and huspands coming home in body bags and stop the war marches gather pace all over Russia it could be seen as absolute folly for mr putins Ukrainian adventure and after all the destruction and blood letting Ukraine becomes a nato member sour grapes indeed
