The only country mad enough to use nukes is the USA, hopefully Russia won't be so stupid.

Think you forgot North Korea.

I don’t know, I thought Putin would never invade Ukraine and it was all willy waggling and posturing. Look how wrong I was.

It’s safe to say that I am more than slightly unnerved.

None of the threats piton has made have come to fruition.

Russia cannot win a war against Ukraine. They can't win a war against anyone else on top of that!! He likes to trickle this crap in but no one takes him seriously anymore. He's a has been.

We've been helping Ukraine for more than a year. Putin knows that.

We need to ensure Ukraine has all the support they need, to prevent Putin getting further ambitions. Use of missiles is a logical extension.

Just don't think about it if it worries you.

I felt the same.

I didn’t think he’d invade.

And I am worried now.

You are so right. He said it was a special military operation with Belarus. I remember watching live on Sky News.. I never thought it would be a full scale invasion & so many millions of Ukranians would become displaced. We do not know what Putin is capable of or what he has up his sleeve..

It’s just sabre rattling, as they’ve done all through the conflict with regards to the uk.

Yes, we can't give in to bullies

If we'd given in to the Nazis where would we be now.

But you'd like to give him the opportunity to just get on with it? You do not appease bullies by letting them get their own way. You should look up Chamberlain if you think that's the way to go. All appeasement ever does is allow bullies to prosper until they are so powerful that war is the only option.
