Re: Russia & Ukraine invasion threat (Defcon 4)
Putin's position is not as secure as it might look he has a circle of associate's that he relies on quite heavily and his support from the military is declining as anger grows about their budget's. If he gives the order to invade it has to be a quick campaign for him if they get bogged down and losses start climbing he will be in serious trouble. If he invades and suffers no opposition from the west he will move onto the Baltic states and currently in military term's there is not much chance of NATO being able to hold them.
The west urgently needs to boost it's defence spending and expand existing forces as a Russia looking to reconstitute the soviet union is a definite threat at this point.

KLM first airline to suspend flights to the Ukraine. Anyone from the UK should be getting out ASAP.

Re: Russia & Ukraine invasion threat (Defcon 4)
According to todays news, this coming Wednesday is believed to be the day that Russia will invade the Ukraine.
A family member of a friend lives near to the border of Poland and is getting ready to flee just in case. She is a healthcare worker nearing retirement, so this isn't good for the country or a lady in her sixties to have to leave everything behind and start all over again.

It would be rude to advertise it and not do it.

I'll stick my neck out and say if it occurs, it'll be in the East where Russia supports the secessionists.

Re: Russia & Ukraine invasion threat (Defcon 4)
All along the Ukraine have said they do not believe they will be invaded now the Ambassador here is saying we are prepared to offer concessions and possibly no longer try to join NATO. That is quite a turn around for a country who appeared confident it would not happen

Putin blindsided as Ukraine suddenly U-turns on major climbdown to halt imminent invasion
UKRAINE's UK ambassador has denied that Kiev is considering abandoning its goal of joining NATO to avoid war with Russia.

On the upside now is a great time to bomb the crap out of Moscow, seeing as the war machine is otherwise occupied

Makes no sense to offer such a concession early on, though.
