I think the legal pack could be a bit meaty with this one.

Why would they defend it? It's just farmland, they'd be exposed with no cover from artillery or airstrikes, no amenities, food or shelter, it'd be a completely pointless waste of life. I once drove 2/3 the way down France in less than a day and without air support. Is that impressive?

I'd agree with that. It may take a couple of decades but the younger generation will have no desire to uphold an autocratic state which is ultimately China's b*tch in Europe.

How much? I've been thinking of moving up the ladder.

It's s**t or bust for him, he needs Russia to succeed. Without Putin precariously propping his regime up, he'd have been out on his arse long ago. His COVID denial was the final straw for a lot of people. There may even be a danger of his own people taking inspiration from Ukraine and revolting, if this invasion stalls completely.

How about, "okay general, here's a blank cheque, get a couple of your best men into the Kremlin and pour the contents of this bag into his coffee."

From a security meeting in Belarus, apparently they're after the breakaway separatist region of Moldova, also known as Transnistria.

Shame he wasn't watching to see it.

She can come round here and be tough on me if she likes. I said that out loud again, didn't I.

It does seem weird, I’d happily have as many as want to come here. In fact there are a fair few Brits I’d happily swap them for.

I hope Yarmolenko gets a decent ovation if he plays, his home town of Chernihiv has taken an absolute pounding.

A job which requires the use of both hands.

The Twitterati are now losing their sh*t over a Ukrainian woman on US news who used the phrase, "new world order." Few of them seem to understand that she's talking about a world of peace and democracy where Russians and Ukrainians are free from Soviet era tyranny, not a world of gay, pedophile lizard people who want you take vaccines which transmit 5G.

Maybe if Putin was pressured into the invasion by some bloke whose father had invaded 10 years ago and... something about annexing Moldova and slant drilling, I don't know.

This is exactly the kind of meaningless, wafer thin political satire I love about you Bret. Keep it up.

The Swiss have made the groundbreaking decision to support sanctions after deciding that an invasion is, in their words, "not neutral."

That didn't work then.

It seems the Antonov 225 has been destroyed. Obviously not comparable to any loss of life but sad, it was a truly unique aircraft.

It just takes one Putin bodyguard to be a hero and end this madness...

Half of Americans couldn't even point to USA on a World map. Their ignorance is hardly evidence of anything.

My, grandma, what big eyes you have. 🙄

I think that’s been debunked as fake news, sadly. The footage was from a video game.

Officially, that’s what they’re sending. The public will probably never hear about some of the properly good stuff.
