It's rumoured Putin is about to go under the knife. If he is having an op, I guess it would be a good moment to try and overthrow him.That said there are also rumours that the Russian top brass is dissatisfied that they aren't going in hard enough. Withdrawing from Kyiv being seen as a mistake. So, careful what you wish for, I guess.
The West was We were too slow to act over Russian aggression in Ukraine, Boris Johnson has told Ukrainian MPs.Addressing the Ukrainian parliament via video link, he said Ukraine's allies "cannot make the same mistake" as they did over the 2014 Crimea invasion.
There are not two sides both committing atrocities in Ukraine!!!Only one side has invaded Ukraine and is committing atrocities against CIVILIANS. One side lives there and the other has invaded it in an attempt to destroy.After the war if Ukraine wins, any atrocities commited by their troops against Russian soldiers will be investigated and if enough evidence is found those guilty will be tried at The Hague.After the War if Russia wins, any former Ukranian soldier/politician/government employee will be executed. Any allegation of Russian war crimes will be ignored.
BRR 1) I was against the invasion of Iraq before it started. Why do you ask?

And no they are v v unlikely to execute all opposition, not least because they won't occupy all of Ukraine, and probably never intended to do more than take the areas they currently hold plus all Donbas and maybe across to Odessa etc.

BRR, I think on this one you have to accept that when a country is invaded or has an internal ethnic power struggle that there will be recriminations in any action that is taken to protect ones homeland, this as others have said will be looked into in the cold light of day and judged appropriately.The bigger picture is that Putin instigated this conflict following on from his deeds in Crimea, in this case the Ukrainians have only reacted to this outright genocide from The Russians. This needed to be stood up to ,any other allegations will be settled after this conflict. Be sure, this is one war that this Psychotic Lunatic will not be allowed to parade as an outright victory. For the sake of us all.

I do try to be consistent on these things. I am very much against imperialist aggression. Wherever it comes from.
