Everyone keeps saying no fly zone would be lunacy as if Putin would immediately say "right, we're going to nuke the whole world". He's far more likely to back down and seek a quick exit than do that.
The West's fear is basically giving him a green light to hold any country he wants hostage.
I have perhaps a stupid question
When the British for example send anti tank missiles into Ukraine ...who payes for the missiles ....is it the British footing the cost or does the Ukranian Government receive an invoice in the post ?
Jeez, look at that photo - Clare really could do with botox injections - in her lips and tongue.
Contains graphic images.
you must now be a tad embarrassed by this assessment of mr Putin….?
Let's be honest and im not critisising them, but the Ukrainian govt is trying to drag us all in to a war here.
Fine for them as they are screwed anyway.
There needs to be much firmer pronouncements about the limits of what the west collectively will and will not do.
A no-fly would be lunacy yet it's still being demanded.
Both responses are right, Zelensky is correct to keep pleading for the world to take action, and likewise US/NATO are correct not to take direct actions to trigger WW3

Ukraine don't seem to think so. You may well be right, but "...Brigadier General Kyrylo Budanov, commander of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry that will run this legion.
Burdanov expressed his gratitude to the fighters and said they are mostly experienced fighters who have participated in many peacekeeping campaigns around the world.
"Any help is worth its weight in gold," he said."
I would have thought he has already proved useful in terms of propaganda. The assessment of utility is up to the Ukrainians, so I'll trust their judgement on this as they seem to know what they are doing.
Allegedly intercepted calls home by Russian soldiers ...

It looks like things are beginning to simmer amongst the public in Russia.
More pleas from Zelensky for the west to intervene and stop the killing after maternity hospital bombed.
Presumably the usual response from Europe/US upcoming: "Sorry, no, we don't want to provoke Russia".
Yes to all that. If we are in fact moving to a war time/crisis economy the government will have to provide and subsidize the labor required to make it happen. We can't expect farmers to do all this on their own.
It won't be a food apocalypse here, but unless it is sorted quickly, it will be in North Africa and the Middle East. Hand waving and it'll be fine will not be good enough and the region will be destabilized further.

Unfortunately it's not the first Russia has bombed ,they bombed over 100 hospitals and other medical centers/clinics in Syria alone , according to lavrov they were bombing terrorists
You're really not very good at this kind of thing are you?
It is a certainty. Be good to keep an eye on these stocks as well as any institutions they owe money to.
Good thread here on the situation at Chernobyl from a Professor of Nuclear Material Degradation:-
I assume Zelenskyy knows all too well the repercussions of all out NATO / Russia engagement. I know he’s exhausted, highly emotional and very angry (rightly so) but blaming the west is unfair.
Surely there’s significant weapons movement activity ongoing behind the scenes and not being played out in the media like the mig debacle.
Targeting a maternity hospital... It actually defies belief.
If there is a hell, I hope they rot there.
Like I've said several times, Putin didn't just spend the last 5 years supporting Assad, but also learning from his tactics.
Sickening and makes you wish the Ukrainians could somehow import a few bombs into Russia and set them off in Moscow, give them a taste of their own medicine.
Russia seems to be reducing its requirements faster than Ukraine can comprehend them.
The sanctions are undoubtedly causing severe damage, add to that the Russians are not nearly making ground like they thought, (protip - maybe expend less effort attacking civilians and possibly Nuclear terrorism in Chernobyl)
Utterly depressing, Russia should have no part in the civilised world for a very long time.
