    I have the solution to this conflict. Let Russia join NATO, then Puking will feel safe from attack.

      They were given that opportunity in the 1990's but refused

        Almost any number of lives would be acceptable given the alternative that is an increased risk of global nuclear war and the loss of billions of lives. Obviously the fewer deaths the better.

            He doesn't give a a tulip about British lives. Some of the people stuck in Ukraine are British or the very close family members e.g. wife of British citizens.

              This is absolutely true. It's amazing the number of people who forget about the threat of nuclear war looming in the background.

              Their ignorance and stupidity, or (let's be charitable) complete lack of imagination, is staggering.

                Not so much the big picture as the wrong end of the telescope.

                A major power has invaded an independent nation state primarily in the cause of pursuing the fantasy of recreating the old Soviet Union. Leaving aside the awful way this has been done and the sheer incompetence of the Russian army, especially when facing a well trained and dedicated Ukrainian one, there is no possible justification for Russia's original purpose.

                Luckily most of the world, barring China (for purely commercial reasons) and India (under the control of another marginal psychopath) , seems to agree with me rather than you.

                  Well the western media would have you believe that. And they've been throwing everything plus the kitchen sink at their anti-Russia pro-Ukraine efforts that really amount to propaganda. And on the Russian side similar propaganda supporting the other side.

                    I hope British citizens can get out of there as soon as possible, and reach safety.

                      Not surprisingly as it is true.
