Sweden based their infrastructure on that strategy . Flyovers we’re built wider to act as aircraft shelters and motorways were built wider and straighter than needed for nor normal road use

Reading between the lines, I’m not surprised it didn’t happen earlier. Train loads of resupply from other countries plastered over social media, stinger and mlaw anti aircraft weapons shipped in, UK stating they welcome anyone who would like to fight against Russian troops without actually saying they are mobilizing troops.

Well, if that is the standard of Chinese/CCP propaganda agents etc I honestly don't think anyone has anything at all to fear from them!🤣🤣🤣

Looks like Putin has just ordered his defence ministers to put there deterrent forces which i assume to be his nuclear missile brigades on to something called "special combat status duty".

Not sure what that constitutes but it don't sound good.

And all this because apparently NATO forces and generals said nasty things about him and made aggressive statements over his half arsed ""invasion"".

Talk about a sore looser!

The Man really needs to get a grip or take a chill pill ffs.

I'm pretty disappointed.

Did we really damage them that much over the past few months, or is their heart just not in it this time?

Are we being baited into a trap?

I'm guessing most of them just like putin and ccp even less than we do.

The Rouble is tanking do to sanctions they are getting bank runs as Russians try to get their money.

'A falling knife'
Karl Schamotta, chief market strategist at financial consultancy Corpay, said: "With newly announced sanctions likely to cripple the Russian economy and diminish the attractiveness of anything that can be traced back to Moscow, investors will abandon ship en masse.

"And with the central bank likely to face severe constraints on currency intervention, the rouble will struggle to find a bottom. No-one wants to catch a falling knife."

Prior to the most recent measures, Western states had announced sanctions against Russian banks and some individuals.

Russia's central bank said that customers of sanctioned banks would be unable to use their bank cards outside Russia. It also said it will be "impossible" to use cards issued by sanctioned banks for Google Pay or Apple Pay.

Last week, customers of Sberbank, the Russian state-owned bank, queued outside a branch in Prague to withdraw their money after it was named as one of a number of lenders to face sanctions.

Sberbank temporarily closed its branches in the Czech Republic, citing security concerns for its staff.

Again, I am not siding with anyone. I am merely pointing out what I see as faults on both sides.

If you interpret that as me having a pop at people, that's you, nothing I can do about that.

Not to mention the 10,000 and rapidly growing arrests of Russian Patriots for protesting putin's behavior in EVERY significant Russian city.

And Anonymous folks screwing with everything they can access.

vlad's head might actually explode soon.
