I'm sure they'd welcome you with open arms in Moscow.

I'm not sure what is worse, it's either that you are just a dull troll with nothing better to do or that you are a complete hypocrite, living in Switzerland and moaning about Western values.

You're probably both.

Maybe not, but I think we all confidently state that that Putin and his cronies have a firm grip on the moral low ground. Hopefully that'll all he has a firm grip on in the not too near future. A truly revolting man.

You mean follow Putin's lead and send a few missiles over?

Yeah but we all knew that already plus we’ve had it drilled into us by the media for decades – whilst they were simultaneously painting our own incompetent and weak leaders as capable and benevolent despite all evidence to the contrary.

It seems the 21st century does not belong to the ‘Diversity is our Strength’ Empire

A small step
"The Swiss Federal Council discussed the situation in eastern Ukraine at its meeting of 23 February 2022. It condemns Russia's recognition of two regions as independent states as a violation of international law and a breach of Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty.

The Federal Council wishes to ensure that Switzerland will not be used as a platform to circumvent sanctions imposed by the EU and is therefore examining the sanctions closely."

Not follow his lead. Tell him <modsnip>.

I stand corrected, this is now the leading contender for Shoehorn of the Year.

This one definitely should have made the shortlist:

Don't be shy. With a mere 66 posts you are already in the Troll Hall of Fame.

In other news, Russia openly threatening Finland and Sweden if they decide to join NATO (the closed NATO session is going on as we speak and both Finland and Sweden are there). Given the fact that Fuhrer Putin has no resources to fight them, his only "defense" is placing nukes somewhere in the north western border with Finland.

9 lives, like a cat.

The most powerful message Switzerland would send is to freeze all the Swiss bank accounts of Putin, his friends, the Oligarchs and so on.

It's not going to happen though is it?

Even better would be to take out all the money and give to the Red Cross.

haha, people in power know the last people to worry about are the "enemies". Supporters are a more dangerous group of people. Let's read about Roman Emperors murdered by the Praetorian Guard. Well, Putin is already 70 YO and there's no shortage of people dreaming with his position.

So after some reading of what real and self-declared experts have to say about the first two days of this:

It seems clear that the Russians have so far underestimated the Ukrainians. There are no credible numbers, but at least Russia seems to have lost quite a bit of kit already. It looks like this is just a first wave, sure. But if now the Ukrainian army and ciivilians are digging in in Kyiy and preparing for urban warfare, the Russian might get stuck here - and might have to resort to heavy fire and just break anything in their way.

More importantly, it is unclear what Russia actually wants to achieve. They will not be able to just install a Lukashenko character as UA president and just leave again. UA will never accept this and overthrow a puppet regime. So Russia is going to stay and occupy the whole country? They will bleed. But Putin also cannot just go back home and say, ah well, shit didn't work out.

Maybe the folk who think Putin is so smart can help me understand this. How is this going to end?

The situation is very bad, but this made me laugh. Putin appealed to Ukrainian military forces:
It seems that a drug addict is someone else.

Could it be is that Russia will go in, break all the military stuff and run away claiming they've neutralized the country and could do so again if they wanted.

Just reported by 3p.m:
80 tanks
516 armored vehicles
10 aircraft
2800 manpower

as i said: good luck

This is actually quite worrying. I am not sure he sees things very clearly.

and all UA soldiers and local defence will stay and look how ru "break all the military stuff" ???

2 options: he is trolling. he is in dementia
