Gi orr thal be tellin me next that russian/chinese/north korea AI has taken over the Labour leadership with the monotone starmer/reeves duo . Now that's a scary thought , the reeve in charge . Happy twilight zone to everyone .
It's typical Putin bluster trying to look big for his domestic audience. Kept saying the last new missile was invincible and couldn't be intercepted even when the Ukrainians started knocking them out of the sky. He threatened the west every time they've given the Ukrainians anything new or allowed a more wider use for a weapons system, said we shouldn't give them any help at the start but did nothing when we did said we shouldn't give them heavy weapons then did nothing when the tanks started to arrive said we shouldn't give them F16s or long range missiles, then you guessed it did nothing when we did. He might have nukes so does the west and he knows that as soon as he used one he'd get at least the same probably more back and those around him know that too. He also won't start a conventional war with NATO either because let's face it his armed forces have struggled to beat one smaller country and have been reduced to seizures of 60 to 70 year old Tanks from a film company to replace loses of more modern tanks. He's also whad to rely on troops from North Korea and is now apparently taking Houti militia to backfill loses which shows utter desperation.
Our ‘war’ with Russia wont be handled on battlefields or through missiles. It will be underground, causing disruption to the nation through hidden threats, cyber security and polarising to certain targets. You could call it a ‘warm war’.
As a former colleague of mine used to say, "It's not my place to be worried, but if it were my place to be worried, I'd be worried."
