Sanctions won’t force Putin to change tact
and any one thinking that he will be over thrown any time soon best
Dream on
there are no Russians in grey suits that will pay him a visit
Nonsense
A cause for concern may be
is that you actually believe it

No, you did not demonstrate the incitement by the EU and NATO that you claim to have observed.
I said
Why do you play thick all the time??
There was a Russian on that compared Ukraine with several western regime changes. Seems Russian elements feel left out. Have to say he made an interesting comparison.
The reason that some one into SWIFT pointed out that a block on that will cause Russia to be gifted with a lot of foreign investment is becoming apparent. Not that it will be of much use to them as far as we are aware.
Some pundits are pointing out that over time when the public feels the effect of the sanctions that they wont be very happy. The same probably applies in Russia

The October 2021 Pandora Papers revealed that Zelenskyy and his chief aide, Sergey Shefir [uk], and the head of the Security Service of Ukraine Ivan Bakanov operated a network of offshore companies in the British Virgin Islands, Cyprus, and Belize. These companies included some that owned expensive London property.[192] Around the time of his 2019 election, Zelenskyy handed his shares in a key offshore company over to Shefir, but the two men appear to have made an arrangement for Zelenskyy's family to continue receiving the money from these companies.[192] Zelenskyy's election campaign had centred on pledges to clean up the government of Ukraine.[192] In a 17 October 2021 interview with ICTV Zelenskyy did not deny that in 2012 he used offshore companies.[193] He claimed he did this to avoid (his then satirical TV shows) being "influenced by politics."[193] Zelenskyy stressed that neither he nor any member of "Kvartal 95" was involved in money laundering

40 miles of Russian military heading along the road to Kyiv.
No chance.
I have to hope it's over quickly so the killing can stop.

Russia may win key cities but the fighting will go on and on for years.

Road blocks can easily stop convoys. The UA can create kill zones on every street. There seems to be good evidence that the Russian military thought they would be welcomed by their Ukrainian brothers.
Someday, someone can look back through this thread and see the development of this crisis from "there'll be no war in Ukraine" to "OMG! they just nuked Keeev!
I'm not sure a roadblock will be much use against a fully armed T-70 tank but that convoy is ripe for an ambush - if the Ukrainians had the men and materiel to pull off such a manoeuvre. With complete control of the sky Russian jets can let rip as Stage Two of this 'special operation' gets underway and Putin decides it's no good pussyfooting about unless they want to lose any more momentum. He must decide on this next phase very carefully, balancing the collatoral damage of civilians and non-military targets against achieving tactical and strategic objectives quickly.
I expect the Red Army will revert to type and blast away at anything in their way, shoot anything that moves, and march on regardless of casualties.
Putin cannot afford to lose face in the eyes of the world and has to get this done quickly. If they haven't captured Keeeev by mid-march serious questions will be asked at the highest level, and holidays in Siberia will be arranged.
Maybe. I'm just one of many armchair generals watching on from afar and has the luxury of making half-arsed assessments without any risk but ...
The mere suggestion of using Tactical nukes has made Western observers very nervous and who can say Putin won't become desperate enough to go that far? This is becoming a zero-sum game.

Putin has no support anywhere in the world for what he is doing.
there is no justification for this war and people care because its not somewhere weve never heard of -its in Europe.
this is fast becoming the world Vs Putin

the convoy has serious logistical problems -its hard to supply fuel for it
I wonder if there are any bridges the Ukraines can take out
blowing up the first dozen vehicles will create a road block
Yes, it would but their supply lines are short and i suspect they'll use Belorussian troops to cover their flanks and rearguard as the professional corps of the Red Army concentrates on pushing through but as i said, all this is simply speculation.
They could do this; or they could do that.
The war could drag on, or it could be over by Easter.
Before you unleash the dogs of war you'd better be damn sure you have a short leash or all hell will break loose.

Sadly China and India are not condemning it.
